Climaxing the Campaign
July 2-3-4 next will be the
staging in Gary, Indiana, of
the Society's Fourth National
Junior Order Convention, a
gathering which is expected
to attract many enthusiastic
boys and girls from all parts
of the United States and Do
minion of Canada.
Youngsters interested in
attending the Convention will
find it relatively simple to do
so if they put their nimble
minds to work during the
Campaign, which opens jan
uary 1 and closes May 81.
To qualify as Delegates,
members will have to a
mass a certain number of
Points during the Cam
paign: - so Points if they
live within 200 miles of
Gary; IS Points if they re-
side within 1000 miles of
Gary; 100 Points if the dis
tance to Gary is beyond
1000 miles.
Those who qualify as Del
egates will be entitled to a
round-trip railroad coach
fare, hotel accommodations
in Gary, and meals through
out the Convention.
Re: Ways To Earn Points
Juniors interested in be-
coming Convention Delegates
can arrive at their Points
Quota in a number of ways
and write either Junior or
Adult insurance business.
Here is but one example:
For every $1,000 of 20
Year Endowment, or for
Educational Endowment at
Age 18, the Junior earns Is
Points. For $500 of this
type of protection the pro-
poser merits 6 Points.
Or for $1,000 of 20 Pay the
boy or girl gets IL Points, 5
Points if the business written
amounts to $500. For 1000
Whole Life, or Endowment
at Age 70, it's 10 Points, or 4
Points for $500.
Finally, 1 Point will be CIV

OF QeVOClOn curing ltS OUIn'
Anniversary Year.
Yesterday is gone now, as
irrevocable as ten centuries
before it; 1855 brings us 9TH
er goals, new aims and even
better vistas. 1855 starts the
Croatian Fraternal Union on
it's seventh decade Of peerless
service. The coming year al
so marks the 10th Anniver-
sary of the Junior Order.
AS your Junior Order Di-
rector it is incumbent upon
me now to give you at least a
birds eye view of that de-
partment's accomplishments
from it's very inception, as
well as our own aims and
hopes for the future.
We can freely say that
this branch of the Society
has progressed beyond the
fondest dreams of it's orr
ginators. The fact that
more than half of today's
Senior membership came
from the juvenile ranks at
tests to it's Importance.
It is no mere conjecture
that if there were no Junior
Order, the CFU would today
be a minor organization of
not more than 10000 men,
bers instead of being the CO.
lossus of 100000 that it is.
Greatest In 40 Years
It is also a fact that in re-
cent years the net increases
in the Society's numerical
strength is but the increase in
juvenile rolls.
Thus with the latest a
vailable statistical report
(November 1854 the Jun
ior Department numbers
1886, the all-time high in
its 40 years. With insur-
ance in force reaching to
the twenty-one and a half
millions of dollars, it has
few equals in the fraternal
world.
Yes, our Junior Order De-
partment alone is larger than
120 of Americas 1856 frater-
nal benefit societies. Oh,
there are numerical giants
with so and Is thousands of
members more than our
CFU, yet whose juvenile
branches are smaller than
ours.
Strictly For Society
AS your steward of this,
so vital a segment Of the or
ganization, we have made it
our holy duty to live and
breathe its well being.
We are happy to say that
our zeal has been noticeable
to the point where we have
been criticized for overem.
phasizing this department
This, to us, is impossible, and
if we've done the impossible
then we'll keep on striving
for the inconceivable.
In the pursuit of our a.
vowed goal of bettering and
improving the department we
have run afoul Of various and

orientation.
We have been deaf to
their counsel, and for that
we have incurred the wrath
of their journalistic mouth
pieces which have question
ed our loyalty to this or
that group, none of which
have any basic interest in
the CFU or this great land
of ours. s..
We have lost little sleep
over their vituperative atten-
ton. We owe allegiance to on
ly two organizations, our
great and blessed America
and the CF'U, and are proud
to serve them faithfully and
conscientiously.
Gary Printing For Meet
Be that as it may, we are
proud to say that with the
adoption of the CSC certifi-
Gates, whose adoption we per-
sonally initiated, this depart
ment was put on a par with
! the most modern insurance
institutions in the world. Our
Juniors have now available
certificates which are at least
a half century ahead of the
senior contracts.
AS we said at the begin
ming, even all this is yester-
day, so let us look at tomor-
row. The year 1865 can and
should be another outstand-
ing period in our history.
Your Junior Department
made sure that you had a goal
to achieve, that you appro-
priately mark and embellish
the day by day record of the
coming year as it is written
for posterity.
The opportunity for one
and all to add to that rec
ord is at your beck and
call. The five month men,
bership drive which begins
on January 1, 1855, should
be a grass roots crusade.
The culminative event -
the 4th Junior Convention to
be staged in Gary, Ind, on
July 2, 3 and 4 = will be a
parade of sterling fraterna-
lists sans even an iota of self
interest. Let's make that
Convention the affair of the
year.
With Heartfelt Thanks q.
And now before closing I
wish to take this opportunity
to congratulate the four VIC
tors of this years member
ship drive, bros. Balich, BIZ
rex, Biskupic and Boljkovac.
Our sincere "thank you"
goes to every participant of
the drive; yes, even to
those who despite their ev-
cry effort were able to
earn only a few points; yes,
even to those who signed
up but one member.
May 1855 be happy and
prosperous to you all! May
our CFU grow and prosper!

In the face Of these unani-

then somehow conclude that

United States were affected"
by DR.. Oppenheimer's attitude
toward the hydrogen bomb

cording to the majority of the
board:
1--WE believe that, had DR..
Oppenheimer given his enthu-
siastic support to the program,
a concerted effort would have
been initiated at an earlier
date.
Following the Presidents
decision, he did not show the
enthusiastic support of the
program which might have
been expected Of the chief
atomic adviser to the Govern
ment under the circumstances.
Indeed, a failure to commune
cate an abandonment of his
earlier position undoubtedly
had an effect upon other
scientists" -

Sees No Reason
For More Delay

Such a review would entail
further delay, which DR.. OPP
penheimer is naturally anx-
ious to avoid; moreover, DR..
Oppenheimer's annual con-
tract as a consultant to the
Atomic Energy Commission
expires on June 80. the end
Of the fiscal year. and with
it his clearance (now sus-
pende6 would automatically
expire, so that if this case is
not finally determined by June
80. the possibility exists that
the question of reinStating DR..
Oppenheimer'S clearance
might be regarded as moot
and might be left in a state
of confusion and uncertainty.
We do not believe that such
an outcome would be in the
public interest. Accordingly,
DR.. Oppenheimer valves his
privilege Of review by the
Personnel Security Review
Board and requests immedi-
ate consideration of the case
by the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
In order to assist the COM
mission in its deliberations.
and because Of the great pub
lie Importance Of some of the
issues raised by the majority
and minority opinions of the
Personnel Security Board, we
request the commissions per-
mission to file a brief and to
make oral argument. A brief
is already in the course Of
preparation and can be deliv-
cred to the commission by
June z (the latest date speci-
fed in your letter to request
review. Argument of coun-
sci can, we are sure, be ar
ranged to meet the commits
Sion's convenience.
Meanwhile we think it fit-
ting to identify for the COM
mission what we conceive to
be certain issues of basic i'm
portance which are presented
by the majority and minority
opinions. We believe it essen
tial, however, tina tthe COM
mission have the benefit of
critical analysis and illumina-
ton of these issues, which can
only be supplied adequately by
the brief and oral argument
herein requested,
