koncertui, kovo 26 d., Severance
Hall. Aisku, mes labai mielai
ia pagalba naudosimes.
Trecias dalykas, nuo kurio cia
pradejome, buvo pats svarbiau-
sias ir >. sunkiausias. Tai an
samblio sastato papildymas ir
rengimasis koncertui.
Kaip zinote, mes cia atvykome
kick 'aptrupeje": dalis ansamb-
lieciu is Vokietijos isvyko j Aus
tralija, vienas kitas ir Amerikoj
kitur isikure, tad reikejo papil-
dyti sastata, O tada, savaime,
suprantama, ir visa programme
teko rengti beveik kaip ir is
pradziu. Nemaza sunkumu tu-
rejome, kol pavyko susirasti pa
kenciama patalpa pamokoms. Ir
paciu pamoku sutvarkymas cia
turejo butt kitokis, mes rengi-
masis koncertui cia galimas tik
po darbo valandu.
- Kokia dabar ansamblio su-
detis? Ar uzteko pajegu jam
papildyti?
- Siuo metu ansamblyje yra
jau SO dalyviu: "a moterys ir
26 vyrai. Tai talentingas, mena
mylis jaunimas. Pageidavimu,
zinoma, visiems vadovams ne
truksta -. Wis noretusi gauti
geresniais balsais dainininkq,
gabesniu muzikantu, grakstesniu
sokeju. Dabartinis sastatas vi
siskai prilygsta Vokietijoje bu-
vusiam sastatui. Reiketu dar j
papildyti trimis-keturiais soils
tais. Ju yra, bet ne Clevelande.
Persikelimo ir naujo isikurimo
sunkumai visus gasdina ir del
to tenka palaukti 80.
Kaip atrodo ansamblio
darbo salygOs?
- Mes zinojome dar Europe
je, kad cia bus CANA sunku dirb-
tt sitoj srity. NUNS daug kas
apie tai pasakojo. Tad ir vazia-
vome su pasiryzimu kovoti SUI
nemazais sunkumais.
Prisipazinsiu, kad tu sunkumu
cia atradome dar daugiau, negu
buvom pasiruose sutikti.
Ansambliui tinkamai pasiruos-
tt reikia daug daugiau darho,
nei siaip, pavyzdziui, choral.
Net ir kasdien turint pamokas,
butu nei kick ne perdaug, O kai

mus pazinojo ir Wis galvojo apie
tai, bet. jeigu dar butumem

tai tada jau butu ta padare.
Taip bent atrode, kada NUNS
reikejo j laiva sesti.
Giedojom Grohno pereinamoj

Tie, kurie veliau plauke "Gene-

ne nuo musu valios priklause.
- Nuo ko pradejote cia, Ame-
rikOje?
= Nuo triju dalyku. Visq pir-
ma - nuo butu ir darbo iesko-
jimo =. Daugumas susiradome,
ko butinai reikejo. Aciu, cleve-
landieciai lietuviai NUNS ir cia
graziai padejo, kaip padejo ir

Antras dalykas - dalyvavi-

" ARLINGTON = While expos
ing the padded payrolls Of COP
Congressman Parnell Thomas Of
New Jersey and Democrat Victor
Wickersham Of Oklahoma I have
overlooked another quiet operator
In the Congressional kickback cir
Gle.
He is Congressman Walter
Brehm, Republican, Of Millersville,
Ohio. who has been performing
some lucrative sleieht-of- hand
With his office payroll which the
voters are entitled to know about.
For three years Brehm carried
an elderly lady, Mrs. Clara Soil
day, on Uncle Sans payroll. re-
quiring her to kick back approx
mately one-half her salary to
him. Then, when she broke her
arm at the age Of n, she was
summarily dismissed, and later the
Congressmans son was hired IN
her place. What secret salary ar
rangements exist between father
and son cannot be ascertained.
What many voters do not real
Ire Is that salaries paid to q
Congressrnan's staff are not paid
by. him, but by all the taxpayers.
They are paid for the purpose of
helping the Congressman handle
the affairs Of his constituents,
answer mail, and attend to 101
different problems put UP to him
by the people back home whom
he represents.
TO handle these matters, each
member Of Congress Is given gov
eminent money to pay q large
office staff. And If he diverts this
money to- his own pocket, 1t is in
effect, cheating the government
and the taxpayers. This was why
Parnell Thomas was sent to jail
and why Congressman Wicker
sham Of Oklahoma y being In
vestigated BY the FBI.
