AMERICAN IN SPIRIT FOREIGN IN LANGUAGE ONLY SLOVENIAN MORNING DAILY NEWSPAPEK LETO XLVIII—VOL. XLVIII CLEVELAND 3, 0., SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1945 Sovjefi stiskajo zdaj kolobar, okrog Dunaja London, 6. apr. — Dve ruski armadi se zgrinjata v velikem kolobarju okrog Dunaja, dočim so sovjetski tanki vdrli naravnost proti središču mesta. Iz predmestij do centra imajo Rusi še nekako štiri milje. Ruski kolobar okrog Dunaja je 83 milj dolg |in manjka samo 46 milj, pa b0 Dunaj popolnoma obkoljen. Nemci so zaba-rikadirani po hišah in na strehah, odkoder streljajo na Ruse. Mnogo ruskih vojakov je že vajeno takega 'boja iz Stalingrada in Budimpešte. Z višin za Dunajem dežujejo nemške topniške baterije ogenj na Ruse, ki se vsipljejo v predmestja. Boj je tako blizu, d £1 Zel- j devajo nemški topniški izstrelki celo lastne vojake. j Nemci trdijo, da so izkrcali zavezniki nove čete v bližini Bremena. Včeraj se je podalo nad 28,000 Nemcev. Ameriška letala spuščajo lahke tanke na zemljo, poročajo Nemci. Pariz, 6. aprila. — Slovita 2. oklepna divizija je udarila pet milj onstran reke Wesere, kar bo nekako 18 milj od mesta Hannover. Nemci danes trdijo, da so dobile ameriške čete ojačenja po parašutarjih v okolici Eislebena, 90 milj od Berlina. To bi bilo 40 milj bližje Berlinu, kot je bila pa po-ročana pozicija 3. armade pri Scholtheimu. Glavni stan zaveznikov ne potrjuje tega nemškppa nnrnčila Nemci so danes tudi trdili, da spuščajo ameriški bombniki svojim četam na zemljo lahke tanke, da lahko hitreje napredujejo. Nemškim četam na Danskem je bilo tudi povedano danes, da so zavezniki izkrcali nove čete blizu Bremena in da bo moralo nemško vojaštvo iz Danske proti jugu, da se sprime z novo invazijo. Tudi glede te nemške trditve ni nobenega poročila iz glavnega stana zaveznikov. Angleška armada prodira preko severnih nemških planjav vedno v hitrejšem tempu proti pristanišču Bremen, do katerega ima manj kot 35 milj. V 54 urah so prešli Angleži 54 milj. Kanadska armada tudi hiti proti severu, da odreže Nemcem umik iz Holandije. Včeraj se je podalo zaveznikom 28,822 Nemcev. Zavezniki so vrgli preko reke Wesere nove mostove Vode Nemce proti reki Labi, ki je zadnja večja ovira pred Berlinom. Nižje južno pa prodira general Patton nevzdržema naprej proti češki meji, do koder ima še 58 milj. Kadar Patton doseže češko mejo, bo Nemčija presekana na dvoje, v severni in južni del. Še nižje južno je pa 7. ameriška armada prodrla na 16 milj do važnega industrijskega mesta Schweinfurt, kjer je ameriška zračna armada lansko leto doživela velike izgube. V pasti v Porurju se obkoljeni Nemci trdovratno branijo. Pobijata jih 1. in 9. ameriški armadi. Vzelo bo še nekaj dni, predno bo ves ta kraj počiščen Nemcev. —:-o--— Valuta nemški marki je zelo padla Madrid. — Tukaj zelo ponujajo nemške denarne marke v nakup. Toda malokdo je ku-j pec zanje. V ameriški valuti se prodaja zdaj nemška marka po manj kot centov ena. Še v januarju je bila 23 centov in v začetku vojne je bila celo 40 centov. -o-- Na vlaku je zbolela Pred prazniki se je podala Mrs. J. A. Kodrich iz Pitts-burgha, Pa., v Zanesville, Ohio, da poišče s svojim možem stanovanje za družino. Na vlaku je pa nenadoma zbolela na slepiču. Odpeljali so jo takoj v bolnišnico v W. Va., ter je operirali še pravočasno. Zdaj je že na potu okrevanja. Mrs. Ko-jdrich je bivša Mary Lazar iz 207.ceste v Euclidu. Njen soprog John je inženir v vojni industriji v Zanesville, O. Danes bo lepo Vremenski urad napoveduje za danes lepo in dokaj gorko, . jutri popoldne bo pa morda nekoliko zmočilo. Ali je res Tito poskušal zanetiti komunistično vstajo v Ameriki? Opomba uredništva: Nasledno, skrajno interesantno vest je prinesel New York Journal-American v nedeljo 1. aprila. Poročilo za list je napisal neki Howard Rushmore. Koliko je resnice na poročilu, ne vemo. Toda če je ka j resnice na tem, potem bodo imeli tisti ameriški državljani slovenskega pokoljenja, ki še vedno malikujejo pred Titovimi podobami, še rdeča ušesa. Poročilo pravi dobesedno: ■:.< * * "Ali je maršal Tito, Stalinov vojaški poveljnik v Jugoslaviji, bivši agitator za komunistično stranko v Zed. dr- • žavah? Ali je on tisti Jugoslovan, ki je prišel v to deželo leta 1925 ter postal pozneje prominentna oseba v rdečih izgredih v Detroitu, Chicagu in Pittsburghu? Ali je Josip lir oz, bolj znan kol maršal Tito, v resnici Rudolph Baker, bivši agent komunistične internacionale, ki je nekoč delal na tem, da vrže vlado, ki ga danes prizna ko voditelja osvobodilnega gibanja na Balkanu? Gosta, pa skrivnostna megla je bila ovita okrog tega Jugoslovana, ki se je naenkrat pokazal na Balkanu pred tremi leti in ki je danes pripoznan s privoljenjem predsednika Roosevelta in vojnega oddelka. Toda N. Y. Journal-American je zvedel ekskluzivno, da to skrivnost lahko razreši nekdo, ki je bil politični učitelj Rudolpha Bakerja za časa njegovega osem-letnega delovanja v Zed. državah. Ta mož je bivši agent komunistične internacionale, in-timini prijatelj Stalinov in eden izmed treh glavnih voditeljev komunistične stranke v Ameriki. Toda ker je Jugoslovan in ima sorodnike na teritoriju, ki je pod Titovo kontrolo, njegovo ime ne sme v javnost. Zalo ga bomo imenovali samo "kamerada X," toda N. F. Journal-American ve za njegovo pravo ime in naslov. Na zahtevo državnega oddelka je bil ta bivši komunist nedavno pozvan v Washington, kjer se mu je reklo, naj identificira slike Rudolpha Baker ja. Nato je ta bivši rdečkar podal sledečo zapriseženo izjavo državnemu oddel- Vojni oddelek se bo držali natančno predpisov glede vojnih ujetnikov Washington--Vojni oddelek je izjavil, da se bo postopalo z nemškimi vojnimi ujetniki tudi vnaprej natančno po mednarodnih zakonih, čeprav se iz Nemčije poroča, da tam skrajno slabo postopajo z ameriškimi vojnimi ujetniki. Amerikanci, ki so bili osvobojeni iz nemškega ujetništva, poročajo, da so dobivali slabo hrano in da so bil zelo po-manjkljvo oblečeni.., Mednarodni zakoni, katere je podpisala tudi Nemčija, pa zahtevajo, da dobivajo vojni ujetniki prav tako hrano kot vojaki v taboriščih doma. Gledati se mora za njih zdravje in snago. In to, pravi ameriški vojni odde-leč se bo natančno izpolnovalo z ozirom na nemške vojne ujetni- "Rudolph Baker je prišel v Zed. države okrog leta 1925. Bil je prideljen komunistični akciji v Pittsburghu pod vodstvom kamerada X, Potem, ko je bil dve leti v Pittsburghu kot komunistični vodja, ga je poslal kamerad X na komunistično delovanje v Chicago. Pozneje je bil Baker postavljen za organizatorja komunistične stranke v Detroitu, kjer je zanetil več izgredov, tekom katerih je prišlo do streljanja v dobi depresije. Kamerad X je bil v teh letih večkrat skupaj z Baker jem in je tudi svetoval, naj se ga (Bakerja) pošlje v Moskvo na Leninov institut za boljševizem. Baker je odšel iz Zed. držav okrog leta 1933. Državni oddelek je nato pokazal kameradu X Baker-j eve slike na njegovem potnem listu in pa več zadnjih slik maršala Tita. "Absolutno sem gotov, da je Rudolph Baker maršal Tito," je izjavil kamerad X, ko si je slike natančno ogledal. Tudi osebno obnašnje maršala Tita, uradno in zasebno poročano, se popolnoma vjema z onim Rudolpha Baker-ja. , Državni oddelek je zelo zainteresiran v to zapriseženo izjavo moža, ki je, kot se je oddelek prepričal, popolnoma r/ineo/ lil) " Taft svari pred inflacijo, ki ustvarja depresijo Cleveland, O. — Sinoči je bil v Clevelandu senator Robert A. Taft, ki je v svojem govoru poudarjal, da je zdaj najbolj potrebno to, da ustavimo vladno trošenje denarja. Mi moramo ustaviti vladni deficit, balanci-rati proračun in si zgraditi inozemsko trgovino na zdravi podlagi, je rekel Taft. "Ako bo pa vlada trošila naprej in večala narodni dolg, mora to prinesti končno do finančnega poloma. To bo povzročilo inflacijo, večjo kot je bila leta 1929, kar bo imelo pa j za posledico depresijo, ki bo hujša kot je bila leta 1932," je govoril senator.

Premogovne družbe bodo darfes zjutraj poročale o celi stvari vojnemu delavskemu odboru, ki naj potem ukrene, kar hoče. Zastopniki premogovnih družb' so izjavili, da ne gredo več na posvetovanja z John L. Lewisom, predsednikom unije. V Pennsylvania i je zdaj zaprtih 77 premogovnikov. Industrije poročajo, da jim je začelo primanjkovati premoga. -o- Gazolinske postaje, ki prodajajo Sohio olje in gazolin, bodo suhe Cleveland, O. —■ Danes je že tretji dan, ko gazolinske postaje, ki prodajajo Sohio gazolin in olje ne dobe nove zaloge. Boj med unijama A. F. of L. in CIO je vzrok, da vozniki ne dovažajo gazolina. Unija A. F. of L. ne pusti trukov na cesto, ker dolži CIO, da hoče unionizirati voznike v svojo unijo. Včeraj so se vršili dogovori v županovem uradu med zastopniki unij in mestno administracijo. Navzoči so bili tudi ar-madni in mornariški zastopniki. Dogovori dozdaj niso pokazali nobenih uspehov in se bodo nadaljevali danes. Ako gazolinske postaje ne bodo dobile danes gazolina, bodo morale zapreti, ker jim bo zaloga pošla. Ravno tako ne bodo mogla letala, civilna in armadna z letališča v Clevelandu, če ne bo gazolina. Letališče ima gazolina samo za jutri še. -o- Častno odpuščen Anthony Zakrajšek, sin Mrs. Frances Zakrajšek, 1083 Addison Rd., je bil Častno odpuščen iz armade, kjer je služil kot lekarnar na pobiralcu min. Sedaj živi s soprogo na 6641 Public Square, Independence, Ohio. Nemci so bili pregnani iz Sarajeva New York. — Iz Jugoslavije je bilo brzojavno sporočano, da je bilo včeraj iztrgano Nemcem iz rok mesto Sarajevo. -o- i Kupujte vojne bonde!

Tukaj zapušča sinova Steve in First Lt. Robert, ki služi onstran morja, hčeri Caroline po-roč. Mandich in Julia poroč. Lonchar ter dva vnuka. Dolgo let je bil zaposlen pri NYC že-lenici.

Ponikvar je daroval za slovenske begunce v Rimu $41.00, neimenovana oseba pa $5.00. Iskrena hvala obema v imenu slovenskih reve-žev. ......_ _ jl Grew misli, da išče Japonska not iz voine Washington. — Pomožni državni tajnik Joseph C. Grew, ki je bil 10 let ameriški ambasador v Tokiu, ki torej zelo dobro pozna naravo Japoncev, misli, da išče Tokio zdaj pot iz vojne. To sodi na podlagi tega, ker je odstopila vlada generala Koisoja in ko je cesar imenoval ministrskim predsednikom a d m i rala Suzuki ja. Tajnik Grew je izjavil. "Predno bo Japonska popolnoma poru- šena, bodo nje državniki brez dvoma poskušali vsaj nekaj rešiti iz razvalin. Njih prvi korak bo, da bodo postavili kakega ministrskega predsednika, ki bo v Ameriki znan kot človek liberalnih nazorov.'" In prav to so zdaj Japonci napravili, ko so postavili na čelo vladi admirala Suzukija, ki je bil vedno velik nasprotnik mogočne vojaške klike, ki je dozdaj držala Japonsko v pesti. j Nadalje je Grew izjavil: 'Najbrže bodo Japonci prišli na lan s ponudbo, da bodo umakni- i vojaštvo iz vseh zasedenih '.rajev in morda se bodo celo od-j oovedali oblasti nad Manžurijo." Toda izkušeni državnik svari, 3a ne nasedemo tej vabi, ako nočemo v nekaj letih imeti zopet novo vojno na Pacifiku.. Edino, kar se more zahtevati od Japoncev je — brezpogojna vdaja. Deloff^i&ifJj na fmmt | vrtu I Zdaj je treba vsejati semenje za tisto zelenjavo, ki uspeva v mrzli seziji, to je zgodaj spomladi. V poletni vročini taka zelenjava ne uspeva ha vrtu. To so predvsem razne solate, čebula, grah, redkvice, špinača in repa. Semenje za to zelenjavo vsej-te takoj, ko je zemlja pripravna za to. To boste spoznali tako, če vzamete v pest nekaj zemlje na vrtu in jo stisnete. Ako se zemlja sama rada sprosti, je pripravna za setev, ako ne, je še pre-mokra in je treba počakati. Na to je treba zlasti paziti pri ilovnati zemlji, ki se le počasi suši. Ta, zgodaj posejana zelenjava, dozori, še predno nastopi poletna vročina. Solato, redkvice in špinačo za jesensko porabo, pa vsej te zopet pozno v avgustu. Nas urednik je lansko leto vsejal pernato solato v septembru, pa jo je še jedel pred zimo. HITLER JE VZEL S SEBOJ VAŽNE UJETNIKE London. — Iz Stockholma se poroča, cla se je Hitler že umaknil v Berchtesgaden, kjer se bo s svojimi pajdaši branil do zadnjega. Kot se poroča iz nevtralnih evropskih mest, je vzel Hitler s seboj važne vojne ujetnike in sicer so morali ž njim : belgijski kralj Leopold, bivši francoski premier Reynaud, Jakob Stalin, sin maršala Stalina in Kurt von Schuschnigg, bivši ministrski predsednik Avstrije. Hitler je zdaj čisto otopel. "Včasih molči in topo zre predse, potem začne pa divjati in kričati kot obseden. -o-- Kupujte vojne bonde! IZ BOJNFFRONTE ZAPADNA FRONTA—Amerikanci so okupirali nemški ' mesti Hamm in Wuerzburg. Angleška armada je skoro popolnoma zaprla Nemcem beg iz Holandske.

Ohio, under the Act of March 3rd. 1878. No. 80 Sat., Apr. 7, 1945 Pa se je le končalo Bali smo se, da se povest o jari kači ne bo končala. Pa se je le. Mirko 'Kuhelj se je naveličal in pero je padlo iz njegove utrujene roke. Bajke in povesti iz partizanskih Gorjancev, s katerimi je tolažil SANSov tajnik svoje zveste, so srečno povedane do konca. Trdno in zvesto upamo, da bo Mirko zbral raztresene ude svojih zgodbic, jih skupaj izdal in lepo povezal, da se kaj ne izgubi za vestnega zgodovinarja, partizanskih junaštev. Ker je torej zgodba brez večje nesreče dovršena in smo mogli oddahniti od grozeče nevarnosti, prinašamo danes spet nekaj skromnih in ponižnih pripomb k temu pisateljskemu proizvodu, ki je bil*dva meseca duševna hrana slovenskih svobodomiselcev in dragoceno mašilo v "naprednih" listih. Da SANSov tajnik ni poseben prijatelj resnice, smo mu že dokazali v našem listu, ko sta z Lojzetom Adamičem vozila tisto barko, ki je ni hotelo biti in je ni bilo in se je nazadnje izkazalo, da je bilo "morda tako še bolje." Pa mu lažnjiva žilica tudi v tem spisu ne da miru. Po številu laži je gotovo napredoval, če je po spretnosti, je bolj dvomljivo. Mi smo ga prijateljsko opozorili, naj bi šel, predno piše neumnosti o Sloveniji pogledat kak leksikon. Naj se nič ne boji. Niso vsi leksikoni klerikalni in napisani od kaplanov. Pa ga ne pripravimo do tega. Tako mora uboga raja pristašev SANSa požirati ponovno debele izmišljotine. Tako na primer znova beremo o jugoslovanskem parlamentu, da je imel 625 poslancev. Brihtni Mirko sklepa potem, da bi morala imeti Slovenija 62 zastopnikov. S sveto jezo se zgraža, da. jih je samo 25. Ne vemo, ali naj se smejemo Kuhljevi prešernosti, ko vleče za nos svoje bralce ali SANSu, ki ima tajnika, ki bi bil vreden Adamičevih laži. V vsakem boljšem leksikonu lahko najdete, da je bilo v jugoslovanskem parlamentu 373 poslancev in da je imela Slovenija med njimi 29 zastopnikov. Pa. on si izmišljuje po svoje naprej. Čemu te laži? Le komu naj koristijo? Vprašujemo se ali je ta lažnjivost priča Kuhljeve neumnosti ali SANSove, ki ima tako avtoriteto za tajnika. Pa je v izbranih spisih tega "voditelja" druga laž (vseh seveda tu ne moremo obravnavati), ki še jasneje označuje SANSovega kljukca. Strašno boli pisca, da smo okrcali radi lažnjivosti njegovega šefa Lojzeta Adamiča, ko je oznanjal partizansko junaštvo neke Ravniharjeve. Adamič je v svoji knjigi oznanjal, da je vest bral v N. Y. Timesu in da so njegovi kanali, po katerih je dobil to vest, odstranili vsak dvom o resničnosti dogodka. Kasneje se je izkazalo, da je vest neresnična in da torej Adamičevi kanali ne drže kot je tudi njegova knjiga sicer kup grdih izmišljotin. In kaj naredi sedaj Kuhelj? Mož kratkomalo proglasi, da so Adamičeve polomije krivi klerikalci. Česa niso na tem božjem svetu krivi ti nesrečni klerikalci!? Vest da je razglasil Miha Krek, ministef in seveda višji klerikalec. Vest je dobil od samih Lahov. Ti so mu jo poslali v London, da bi osleparili resnicoljuba Lojzeta. Dve laži je zapisal tajnik SANSa ve-doma in premišljeno. Krek ni nikoli razglašal nobenih takih vesti in nikoli pošiljal ne takih ne drugačnih vesti Adamiču. Krek tudi ni nikoli dobil nobene vesti od Italijanov. Za te. svoje trditve ne more Kuhelj doprinesti absolutno nobenega dokaza. Le zakaj ni Lojze v svoji knjigi povedal, da ima klerikalne vire? Kuhelj pa je že ob tisti barki doživel, da ima laž kratke noge, pa ga ni izučilo. Tajnik SANSov je kot pobalin, ki ga zasačijo pri nečedni stvari. Ko ga primejo, vtakne prst v usta in izjeca dve novi laži, da bi se opral. Radovedni smo, ali imajo člani SANSa, zlasti "častni," toliko časti v sebi, da bodo poklicali na odgovor tajnika, ki zavestno in očitno laže v imenu organizacije. Javnost pa naj si sama napravi sodbo, koliko so potem vredna druga izvajanja tega veljavnega resnicoljuba. Ne vemo, odkod je prepisoval Kuhelj zdravniško modrost, da je naenkrat spoznal," da imajo Slovenci "krofe," da imajo celo bolhe in čudovito debele ženske. Ali velja to morda o partizanih? Ali mož ni razumel kaj prepisuje? Prav tako ne, vemo, ali gre na račun neumnosti bralca ali pisca tista o plugih, ko opišuje Slovence kot kakšne Mace-donce, ki ne poznajo kovinskega lemeža in črtala. Da gre marsikaj takega na rovaš piščeve neumnosti smo spoznali, ko smo brali o velikem partizanu Tonetu Fajfar-ju, ki je postal imeniten, ker je udaril po klerikalcih. Sedaj naenkrat beremo, da je tajnik krščanskih obrtnih zadrug. Ta krščanski "socialist" je tako krščanski, da se ne ukloni papežki okrožnici, ki govori, da katoličan ne more biti obenem socialist. Ker ne posluša papeža je seveda zrel za partizana. Pa to je postranska reč. Takih, ki zakrivajo svoja kriva pota s plaščem krščanstva je bilo zmecaj dovolj. Glavno je to, da smo končno le zvedeli, kaj je Kuhelj prestavljal kot Katoliške obrtne zadruge, ko je začel s svojo klobaso. Fajfar je namreč eden tajnikov Jugoslovanske strokovne zveze. Ta pa seveda nima nič opraviti direktno z obrtjo, še manj seveda s kakimi zadrugami. Tako so se pri Kuhlj.u krščanski socialisti kar podvojili in še pomnožili z zadrugami. Ali so se pojmi namenoma pomešali? V kalnem pravijo, da je lahko ribariti zlasti med "naprednimi" ribami. Tudi na to seveda ni pozabil Mirko, da napredne ribe posebno rade primejo za trnek, če na njem visi z? vabo — duhovnik. Za zaključek jim je zato obesil Rev. Černeta. Bil je izrek, da so se vse krive vere začele s svetim pismom. Z njegovo napačno razlago seveda. Danes bi lahko rekli, da se vse dokazovanje proti katoličanom začne in konča z — duhovnikom. Z napačnim navajanjem njegovih misli seveda. Napredni svet pač ne shaja brez črne suknje. Za konec Kuhelj prizna in nekako ponosno prizna, da .so partizani uničili vse industrijske naprave v Sloveniji od navadne žage pa do tovarne in rudnika. "Danes je večina industrijalnega dela Slovenije v razvalinah." Pisec pravi, da so to delali partizani, ker so te naprave služile Hitlerju. Pred dobrim letom smo priobčevali, kako je dr. Brezigar opisal uničenje Slovenije po partizanih. To je bilo krika v "naprednem" Izraelu, da bi se obzidje Jerihe znova podrlo. Danes to prizna tajnik SANSa. Zelo je napredoval. Do 40% Slovenije je živelo od industrijskih naprav, 40% jih bo po vojski brez kruha pO — zaslugi partizanov. Pa porečete: To je bilo treba za vojni uspeh. Vprašamo vas, zakaj to ni bilo potreba na Francoskem, zakaj ne v Belgiji, zakaj ne na Holandskem?? Ali niso te dežele vse drugače industrijalno razvite? Ali so bili ti narodi tako slabi zavezniki? Odgovor je: Bili so toliko pametni, da niso hoteli sami sebi uničevati. Sedaj bodo imeli kmalu vsi razvito industrijo, Slovenci pa beračijo, ker so partizani tako junaško uničevali. In če ne verjamete nam, berite sami: Pravilnost Kuh-ljevega poročila je potrdila sama vzvišena konferenca v Jalti, ker je odobrila delo Osvobodilne fronte. Kje je predrzni nevernik, ki bi po tej izjavi še upal dvomiti, da ima Mirko prav!? Če je Jalta govorila, je še bolj pribito kot če govori Rim. Ali ne? Ker nima Jalta odločati kaj je resnično prav in resnično dobro, ampak veliki trije le povedo, kaj se njim zdi oportuno, zato je kar veliko pomembnih Amerikancev med neverniki, ki ne verjamejo, da je prav, kar je Yalta določila. Tudi za odločitve o Jugoslaviji ne verjamejo, da so dobre. Mislijo, da so bile to odločitve "utrujenih" državnikov kot se Ameirkanci vljudno izražajo. Priprave za koneferenco v San Franciscu o tem jasno pričajo. Morda pa bo tajnik SANSsi tudi v tej točki kdaj malo odnehal. BESEDA IZ NARODA s • ; »• t"l I' 'I' tMH HtHih) ' .»1»t'tik M i.

Ona posreduje nadnaravno pomoč milosti, dase vzdržuje na svetu tisti red, ki ga Bog hoče. In ta red je končno fundament in vodilna miggj vsake demokracije. . (Dalje še enkrat Mihel.) Koncert mladinskega zbora Takole jepapež govoril Gašper Da, dandanes se narodi sveta zavedajo, da stoje pred nalogo, ki je menda res tako velika, kot ni bila še nikoli v vsej zgodovini človeštva. Zato vstaja iz dna izbičanih src hotenje, da ljudstva vzamejo vajeti svoje usode v svoje lastne roke in z večjo neodvisnostjo kot kdaj v preteklosti. To hotenje je v narodih že kar neodložljivo in skoraj instinktivno. Na ta način narodi upajo, da se bodo lažje ubranili ponavljajočega se navala nasilnosti, ki ne pozna nič bolj kake prizanesljivosti kot lava, ki se ulije iz ognjeni-, ka. Naj bodo kake reči ljudem še tako drage in svete, vse gre v nič. Hvala Bogu, zdi se, da je minil čas, ko je svet nalašč preslišal vsak klic, da je treba dati državam in narodom nekih moralnih načel, ki se izvajajo iz Evangelijev. Dogodki teh vojnih let so dali dosti dokazov, da nimajo prav tisti, ki bi radi šli preko vseh moralnih in verskih načel. Kako napačno stališče zavzemajo ti zaslepljeni ljudje, kaže sedanja vojna v tako jasni luči, da bi si naprej niti predstavljati ne mogli. Niso se zmenili za moralna i načela, češ, da so nepotrebna navlaka. Namesto tiste nepotrebne navlake je sedaj svet poln nečesa drugega: zverstva, krivice, razdirali j a, uničevanja! Ce ima bodočnost prinesti med narode demokracijo, bo morala pri dosegi tega uspeha Mladinski pevski z b o r Slovenskega delavskega doma na Waterloo Rd., priredi v nedeljo 8. aprila ob štirih popoldne spomladanski koncert pod vodstvom Anne Vadnal, poznane kulturne delavke. Kot povsod drugod je tudi pri nas težavno vdrževati zbor, ker je vsak izmed nas preveč zaposlen pri e-nem ali drugem delu, da ni časa za kulturo. Na ste j i je bilo sklenjeno, da se polovico dobička podari v dobrodelne namene kot za Rdeči križ in pa za izčrpano staro domovino, kjer so v resnici potrebni. Zbor vselej daruje po svoji moči, kolikor pač more. Po končanem koncertu se bo vršil ples v zgornji in spodnji dvorani, da bo dovolj prostora za vse plesalce. Za lačne in žejne bo pa odbor poskrbel. Torej, čim več pride v blagajno, tem več se lahko potem da naprej. Na svidenje! Jerry Pike. --o-— Pisma od bivših fantov-pevcev Mladinskega zbora Dragi člani Mladinskega pevskega zbora: V prvi vrsti se želim iskreno zahvaliti zboru za zaboj ček dobrih jestvin, katere ste mi poslali kot božično darilo. Prejel sem ga baš pred odhodom na Mariana otoke, kjer se sedaj nahajam. Bivamo v šotorih in imamo obilo svežega zraka. Podnevi je zelo vroče, a noči so mrzle. Delamo po sedem dni na teden, a počitka je zelo malo. Sicer je pa vseeno, ker tudi če bi imeli čas, da gremo kam, ni kam iti, ker se mi zdi, da sta Bog in vrag pozabila na ta kraj. Kakor sem prejel poročilo, je bila zadnja prireditev S. M. zbora velik uspeh, moja želja je, da bi bil isto vaš pomladni koncert. Rad bi bil z vami in mnogo lepih spominov imam na tiste lepe čase, ko sem bil član zbora. Fritz Hribar. * * * Mladinski pevski zbor na Waterloo Rd.: Prav prijetno sem bil presenečen, ko sem prejel darilo, poln zavojček dobrih jestvin za božično darilo. Sicer je prišla pošiljatev par tednov po božiču, je bilo pa vse tako dobro in okusno, da je šlo s pomočjo mojih tovarišev v naše želodce kot bi mignil. Iskrena hvala za vse dobrote, ki ste mi jih poslali in pa, da ste se me tudi spomnili za praznike. Ob večerih mislim na starše, dom, pa tudi na vas se spomnim in na tiste lepe čase, ko sem še pel pri zboru. To so lepi spomini, ki jim je odmerjen vedno prostorček v mojem srcu, na breskrbna otroška leta. Želim, da bi bil vaš prihodnji koncert uspešen kot so bile do sedaj še vse prireditve v vseh ozirih. Sprejmite najlepše pozdrave vsi! John Terlep. * 'K * Mladinski pevski zbor na Waterloo Rd.: Dragi pevci! Kot bivši član zbora in sedaj ponosen vojak Strica Sama, vam pišem iz Belgije, ki je precej drugačna dežela kot so naše Zedinjene države. Težko je kupiti kako stvar, kar je seveda največ kriva vojna. Zato sem bil res prav vesel, ko sem prejel vaše božično darilo —- zavojček dobrih jedil. Kar toplo mi je bilo pri srcu, ker ste se me spomnili za praznike. Najlepša hvala'za vse. Mama mi je pisala, da ste imeli lepo prireditev, kar mi je v veliko veselje in moja želja je, da bi bila tudi prihodnja prav tako uspešna. Želim, da bi bil Mladinski zbor še mnogo let aktiven ter da bi se prepevala lepa slovenska pesem. — Z najlepšim pozdravom vsem, ostajam vaš Pvt. Joseph Klein. * * « To pismo piše Joseph Sko-čaj, sin Mr. in Mrs. Jos. Sko-čaj, 1034 E. 171 St. On je bil tudi član Mladinskega zbora, ki bo priredil svoj pomladanski koncert v nedeljo, 8. aprila v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Waterloo Rd. Ljubi starši in brat: Prejel sem dve pismi in zavojček od vas. Njlepša hvala za vse. Žal mi je, da vam nisem mogel pisati precej časa, ker sem bil preveč zaposlen. V nemških mestih, katere zavzamemo, plapolajo povsod bele zastave, mesto svastike, kar kaže jasno, da so Nemci siti vojne in Hitlerja, kljub temu, da ni tu pomanjkanja za živila. Kleti so polne raznega živeža in tudi dobrega vina je v izobilju. Eden mojih tovarišev je iztaknil velik zavoj cigar in sedaj kadimo kot Turki. Kakor čitate v časopisju, dobro napredujemo in vse kaže, da se bliža konec za Hitlerja in nemško "čisto" raso. In potem na veselo svidenje!

"Če ga daš kuhat en funt, ga boš imel za vse življenje dovolj po mojih mislih," dokazuje France. "Strama neumna, kam pa ga bo del en funt," ga posvari zastopnica ženskega spola, "saj se ga bo iz enega funta naku-halo za celo faro." "Saj zato sem pa rekel, da ga bo imel en funt zadosti za celo življenje, ali nisem?" ročno meče France nazaj. "Okej, torej to pomeni, da naj ga vržem v pisker takole eno dobro pest," posredujem jaz.

Frank Seme (E. 80 St.) our latest Gold Star hero! Frank was wounded in battle on March 5, 1945 and expired at a station hospital on March 19, 1945. His chaplain, Father Andrew White, writes to the family saying: "I stopped by his bed at 8 P. M. on March 18, heard his confession and blessed him. At 3 A. M. of March 19 I was called to his bedside when his condition changed for the worse. I administered the last Sacraments to him and remained with him saying the prayers for the dying. He died at 4:15 A. M. on St. Joseph's Day. He was a §ood soldier to the end and despite his wounds he tried to be cheerful and grateful to all who were helping him." May he rest in Peace! SPORTSCAST A large crowd of basketball enthusiasts were on hand to watch the contest featuring St. Lawrence's vs, St. Mary's. Mr. Joseph Ozimek invited his class team to play this first game in the new gym, thus formally opening it for all "future visiting teams. St. Mary's did not have a full team so "Hank" Paulin, "Baldy" Rajar and Ray Strekal were "seminarians" for the evening. Paulin scored 10 points, Baldy 8 and Strekal 4, assisting the seminary team. But St. Lawrence took an early lead (31 to 17 in the first half) and kept it throughout the game. (Lenny Lapka totaling 20 points, Richie Jeric 15 and Bernie Cesar 9 points), defeating St. Mary's 66 to 47. Did St. Lawqence play so well because they were threatened with a penance of four rosaries kneeling against the gym wall if they lost? or are they really such stars? P. S.— They are good!) THIS 'N' THAT The Sodalists will have a late EASTER celebration after their forthcoming meeting on the 19th. . . . Wedding bells are in the offing for Frank Kenik and Louise Germack; Michael Pojefko and Ann Barle; Peter Ellis and Elsie Novak. . . . Easter Sunday found the Slovenia members, the Par A. C.'s and many of our neighbors celebrating and enjoying the music of accordionists Matt Arko (Hover) and Scottv at Pat Works on Timing In Lou Boudreau, Pat Seerey and Roy Cullenbine the Indians now have a good hitting combination. With Heath joining them, the club could present formidable power, Seerey apparently is in for a good season. Carefully coached—and reprimanded when necessary—by some of the veterans, he is forsaking his lunges at the plate for carfully-timed swings. In the three exhibition games he pounded seven hits in 13 trips and, what is more important, didn't strike out once. Hank Ruszkowski, Bob Rothel and Charles Embree soon will face Army doctors in Cleveland. All flunked previous pre-induction examinations. Ruszkowski and' Embree because of knee ailments and Rothel because of stomach ulcers, but must be re-examined under the pro-athlete draft ruling. * * » Defeat of compromise man-power legislation in the Senate Tuesday apparently removed the last lingering threat to baseball's wartime position. As matters now stand, the game has enough players to man the teams, and presumably will not be disturbed again so long as the war's progress is satisfactory. HOCKEY Cleveland's powerhouse offense cracked to pieces on the goal tending of chunky little Nick Damore, and 10,-727 hockey fans had to swallow a decisive defeat Tuesday night at the Arena. Grabbing the lead in the second period on a long shot by James (Peg) O'Neal, Hershey's Bears clipped the Barons, 5 to 3, and evened the American League finals at one game apiece. Damore, the overwhelming choice for goalie on the league's official all-star team, was credited with 44 stops, and at least half of a dozen of them might just as well have been Cleveland goals. The Barons tried Damore with everything—fast ones, slow ones, high« and low, curves and straight shots— and nimble Nick let only three get by. If he is going to be that good in every game, the Barons won't unfurl the pennant this season. Each team scored twice in the first period. O'Neil's long one made it 3-2 for the Bears at the second recess, and Bill Gooden boosted the margin to 4-2 at 6:45 of the third period. Tommy Burlington, the Barons' whiz center, was covered frantically by the Bears all evening, but broke away on a long dash to get one for Cleveland at 17:26, rousing hopes of tying it up. Drummong Gets Away With five forwards on the ice most of the last five minutes, the Barons blew a couple of swell chances in the last two minutes. Then, in the final minute, Jim Drummond of the Bears stole the puck from Cleveland at the Hershey blue line and went all the way flanked by two teammates, to score again at'19':26—with 34 seconds left—and completely ruin the night. In five home games during their two play-off series with Buffalo and Hershey, the Barons have lost three. That they are in the finals was because of their remarkable staying staying power in three victories at Buffalo. Also, the *Bairons haven't lost two in a row since last October. These are reasons the future does not look too dismal. -o- The lassies and our director wish to extend greetings, to all our fighting men, our prayers are for you, as also your speedy and safe return home to your loved ones.

VITUS BASEBALL Lafayette, Ind.—The Indians played three exhibition games this past weekend, won them all, and demonstrated that their pitchers are ready. However, none in camp here was worried about the pitching department. Rather, it was the infield and the hitting divisions that caused the most concern. The practice contests indicated that the Indians could get by, perhaps comfortably, with the infield available but that more hitting power is needed. The answer is held by Jeff Heath, the problem child of the Wigwam, who finally agreed to terms and who is expected to join the squad in Indianapolis Sunday.

From a long-sighted prudence, he observes the maxim of the ancient sage, that we should ever conduct ourselves toward our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend." "He has too much good sense to be affronted at insults, he is too well employed to remember injuries, and too indolent to bear malice. He is patient, forbearing and resigned, on philosophical principles; he submits to pain because it is inevitable, to berevement because it is irreparable, and to death because it is his destiny." —Cardinal Newman.

They wish only that they might be permitted to live in peace on their little farms and make a living for themselves. With these honest folks we have no quarrel. Our quarrel is with the blood-thirsty, power-crazy leaders of their country and the system under which they are living. For them we offer no quarter, but even ip dealing with them we should keep our feet on the ground and try to remember t hat this is a Christian nation. We should not strike in I anger, but see that each aggressor leader is punished for his part in the war and that the punishment is in accordance with the crime which he has committed against the civilized world and against the allies in particular. NEWS FROM OUR BOYS IN THE ARMY / Sgt. Tony Piks sends the following letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Piks, 1176 E. 71 St.: ^ March 22, 1945. Dear Mother and Dad: I know that you have worried because you haven't receivted any letter from me for a little while, well the reason was lis that we left our other place and i am now somewhere in Germany and it really is quite different then when we were in France. I have so much to tell you that I'm afraid that I'll have to wait and write in my next letter. We are very busy here right now and I haven't got much time to wri^e any letters. Most of the houses here are bombed out and much worse then in France. There are some people here and all of them just look and stare at us. We are not allowed to talk to any of them, but I doubt if any of the fellows would care to anyway. I don't see much of that bragging that the German people have talked about, sometimes we wonder what they are talking about. They all are under guard and must be inside by nightfall. A lot of them have to do work around here under our supervision and many of them don't like the idea. There isn't much left of anything here and we don't feel sorry a bit for the people, after all they allowed all this. By the way my APO number has been changed again, this time is is 350, now don't forget when you write to me again. I received your swell letter just before we left from France and I was very glad indeed to hear from you. Also whenever you are on St. Clair let the American Home people know my new change of address so that I can receive the paper. This will be all for a couple of days, good bye and may God Bless you and Pa. Your son, TONY. S/Sgt. Ed J.

We hope that you have, for then we know that you must have a good seat. This operetta is a comedy and will be presented April 15 by the Glasbena Matica Singing Society at Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Ave. Highlights From the First Act— In a Hungarian Village Much excitement is created by the arrival of a newcomer, namely, Sandor Barinkay, who turns out to be the owner of the castle ruins and the land adjoining. Chipra, the gypsy woman, reads Barinkay's hand and tells him that he will soon find a lovely bride for himself and also uncover a treasure. 2upan, a wealthy pig merchant, has a beautiful daughter, Arzena, whom he tries to marry off to Barinkay, in order to attain possession of some land in the village. Arzena snubs Barinkay, stating that the one she marries has to be a Baron, when all the while she and Ottokar, son of her governess, Mirabella, are secretly in love, Carnero who has returned to the village with Barinkay turns out to be Mirabella's long lost husband. Saffi, daughter of Chipra, is heard singing a touching gypsy melody, which fascinates Barinkay and he falls in love with her. The gypsies enter on this scene and learn of Barinkay's identity. They immediately proclaim him their leader, "The Gyp-! sy Baron." So he informs Arzena of , his new title, at the same time an- J nouncing his desire to marry the gypsy maid, Saffi. Arzena is insulted and more excitement prevails. So you see, there is romance, in-' trigue and comedy all rolled up in music. Don't fail to see "Gypsy I Baron." -0- ' Dance Next Saturday Saturday, April 14 —the Slovenian Women's Union No. 50—is holding a dance at the Slovenian National Home. Everyone is invited t0 attend.
