YugosIay Woman
May Testify Before
Senate Committee

A YugoSlav woman who Of
Tended Communist leaders of her
country by attending an Ameri-
can church In New }, York is
expected to tell her story in pub
lie within a few, days before a
Senate Judiciary subcommittee
on naturalization and immigra-
ton.
Senator Hendrickson, Republic
can, of New Jersey said today he
will introduce a bill to extend
indefinitely the United States
visa of Miss Stajka Petrovic, now
in hiding under an alias in
Northern New Jersey from rep
resentatives Of the Yugoslav gov
eminent intent upon returning
her to her native land and what
Senator Hendrickson believes
would be certain DEATH"
The Senator said ne will also
seek a public hearing late this
week or early next by the Judi
ciary subcommittee at which Miss
Petrovic will be requested to tes-
tify.
Watkins Promises Hearing.
Subcommittee Chairman Wat
kins, Republican, of Utah told
The Star he will be glad to ac-
commodate Senator Hendrickson
with a hearing whenever he
wishes. An immigration Service
hearing on the case, originally
scheduled for Thursday at Ellis
Island. will automatically be sus-
pended by introduction of Sem
latot Hendrickson's bin.
According to Senator Hem
drickson. Miss Petrovic was
brought to the United States on
February is, 1850. as domestic
servant to a member of the
Yugoslav delegation to the
United Nations. She Subse-
quently worked for two other
members of the delegation.
In August, 1851, about the time
her American visa ran out, the
47-vear -old spinster began to
attend a Serbian-language Greek
Orthodox church in New York.
The wife of her last employer,
apparently fearing that contact
with n-Communist Serbs
would weaken Miss Petrovic's
loyalty to the Tito regime. inn
mediately demanded that she
surrender papers authorizing
travel within the United States.
Received Aid From Priest.
This she did. Apparently fear
ing reprisals from her govern
ment, she then went to her priest,
Father D. j. Shoukletovich, and
sought refuge with him. Father
Shoukletovich first hid her with
friends in Toms River, N. j., and
thenwhen q Yugoslav repre-
sentative appeared at the house
and. tried unsuccessfully to get
her passport-took her to her
present sanctuary in Northern
New Jersey.
Senator Hendrickson's aides
said his purpose in seeking the
public hearing is to ''set the Yu-
goslavS''-now allied with the
United States in opposition to
Russia back on their heels"
for their attempts to harass Miss
Petrovic. He wants to make
them leave her alone until we
can get Congress to do some
thing about it."

AFL May Expel Longshore Union On Shape-up Issue

NEW YORK, R-Possibility the strife-tOrn International Long shoremen's Assn. GLAD may be busted from the AFL heightened Saturday after metropolitan New York dock workers voted to retain the much-condemned "shape-up" hiring system.
 The AFL executive council has ordered the longshore union >to clean up the piers and get rid of the ''shape-up" practice or face expulsion from the parent body.
 Charges of a frame-up election rose, even before results of the vote Friday showed that New Jersey and New York dock hands had voted 1000 to 1920 in favor of the 'Fshape-up." There were 978 voided ballots.
 The 35 metropolitan locals form the bulk of the 5,OO0-member ILA on East and Gulf Coasts.
 Under the shape-up, longshore- men are hired for a days work by pier boss who picks them out of the crowd of job hopefuls.
 The system has been attacked at state and federal investigations as a breeder of rackets, of kick backs to curry favor with the bosses, and of loan-sharking.
 Joseph F. Ryan, the ILA presi- dent and now under indictment for grand larceny of union funds, reportedly was in favor of retain ing the system. He has admitted 30 percent Of the ILA officers and dock bosses have criminal records.
