Pittsburgh, Pa. - Central
Committees and Lodges plan
ming events in this the Goth
Anniversary Jubilee of the
Society have at their discre-
ton the use of the film,
'This Is Your Croatian Fra
ternal Union!"
The film was shown this
past spring and early summer
in various sectors of the coun-
try. 1t is still available to such
Central Committees and LODI
ges as will make application.
The picture and the narra-
tion are on one single film
which simplifies the showing.
Experience has shown that a
Bell-Howell or a R.C.A. pro-
jector give the most satisfac-
tory results. Also because of
the film cost through the va
rious production stages, we
strongly recommend that the
users employ a licensed oper-
ator. Just anyone will not do.
Once shown we ask that
the committee return the film
to the C.F.U. Sports-Educa-
tional Department via first
class mail-special delivery
and insured for 81 900.

Arlington Women Recommend
StTcter Teacher Loyalty Oath

Revision Of the Virginia teach
ers' loyalty oath by the Cen
eral Assembly has been in
dorsed by the Arlington County
Women's Democratic Club.
The club. In a letter to Speaker
E. Blackburn Moore Of the House
of Delegates. recommended that
prospective teachers be required
to swear that they never had
any connection with subversive
activity.
The present contract requires
teachers to swear their loyalty
to the United States. The
women's club said it feels that
this requirement "is not suffl-
cient to deter undesirables from
accepting a position in our Ar
lington County School System. +"
The club also urged outlawing
of the Communist Party and all
other subversive organizations.
For the past few years the
Arlington County Women s
Democratic Club has been aware
of socialism, communism and

ton said. "but we hadn't sus-
pected that this alien philosophy
was reaching into our local,
County and State levels until
within the last coupe Of years"
During our recent campaign
many charges were made re-
garding these destructive ele-
ments being in our tax-sup-
ported educational and govern
mental institutions and we have
made thorough Investigations
and have found these charges
are well founded" the club said.
The resolution was not sent
to State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and other members of the
county legislative delegation, the
usual method of having bills
from Arlington introduced at
Richmond. The club supported
Governor-elect Stanley in the
Democratic primary against Mr..
Fenwick. Mrs. Lucie E. Gauzza

Two Koreans Sentenced
In Betrayal Of Gen. Dean
" the Assoeia,ed Pres.

SEOUL. Jan. l2.-One Korean
was sentenced to death and
another to life imprisonment to-
day by District Court for betray-
ing Maj. Gen. William F. Dean
into Communist captivity in
1850.
The government prosecutor
had demanded five years i'm
prisonment for each on charges
OF unlawful arrest"
The Judge. however. sentenced
Choe Chong Bong to death and
Han Doc Kyoo to life imprison-
ment on charge of Communist
collaboration under the national
emergency wartime law.
Court officials said the Judge
could give a heavier penalty
than demanded.
The defense said 1t may ap-
peal.
The defendants admitted they
had accepted IS each from the
Communists as a reward for
Gen. Deans capture. But they
insisted they only intended to
help Gen. Dean.
Gen. Dean had asked Presi-
dent Syngman Rhee for clem-
ency for the two South Koreans
"as a personal favor" But the
judge said no official notice
reached the court.

| Williams AssaiIs
| Democrats for Tax
| Leniency 10 GangsteI
By the Assoeiossd Press

Senator Williams, Republican
of Delaware told the Senate to-
day about what he called q dis
gusting example of gangstel
coddling" by tax officials under
the previous Democratic admin
istration.
Renewing his one-man crusade
against tax violators. Senator
Williams said his latest case
involved Sam Cammarata, con-
victed Detroit bank robber, now
reported serving out the bal
ance Of a 15-to-30-year sentence
in Michigan.
Senator Williams said Cam
marata, known by numerous
aliases. slipped back into this
country in 1899 after being de-
ported to Sicily, but paid no
income taxes from 1899 to 1916
when Treasury agents found him
hiding out In Ohio.
Filed Late Returns.
Instead Of bringing criminal
prosecution, Senator Williams
said. "the Treasury Department
allowed this gangster to file be-
lated tax returns for each of the
years involved and dropped all
efforts for prosecution.
"Just who in the Treasury De-
partment is responsible for this
extreme leniency to another
racketeer Is a question which
thus far I have been unable to
obtain" Senator Williams said
in his prepared speech.
He said he had been advised
by the Treasury Department
that "due to the fact that I do
not have any official committee
status" the law forbids giving
him information about the case.
Refused Tax Probe Job.

of the Senate Finance Commit

Chairman Millikin last year to

! tion of Faust, BerlioZ.
The United States Army Band,
in cooperation with the Free
domS Foundation, last night pre-
Sented the 18th in it's current
series of concerts before a small
audience.
One evident and unfortunate
result of this association is that
the great service band has begun
to look embarrassingly like
tail to the Freedoms Foundation
kite. Although the weekly De-
partmental Auditorium events
are called concerts, the Army
Bands main function there has
been to provide appropriate
background music for the foun-
dation's attempt to sell its con-
ception of the American way Of
life The desirability of such an
undertaking, particularly where
an official arm of the Govern
ment is involved, is open to ques-
tion: the sales technique used is
much akin ito TV huckstering,
and the result on the listener is
likely to be similar. On this
show there is too much COM
mercial and too little feature.
Yesterday, the sales talk even
obtruded itself into the musical
program in the form of a piece
by Don Gillis in which Sergt
Jack Totten sang the solo part.
In order to make the eagle
scream, Mr.. Gillis wrung its
neck. One would have to look
far for another work containing
so many musical and patriotic
cliches cheek by jowl.
AS consolation prizes to mu-
sic-lovers, a good Sousa march
and two movements of an inter-
esting concerto for saxophone
and band by the contemporary
Californian Ingolf Dahl were
performed. The concerto, which
was commissioned by the guest
artist, saxophonist Sigurd Ras-
cher, proved to be a piece on
the grand scale, rhythmically
1.-the, and most grateful for the
solo instrument of which Mr..
Rascher is an acknowledged
master. Although it is no mas
terwork, it is intelligently writ
ten with an eye toward the
exploitation of brass and wood
wind timbreS.
Mr.. Rascher, whose musician
ship was impeccable and whose
tone was beautiful throughout,
was somewhat handicapped by
the wooden conducting of Capt.
Loboda, who seemed far more at
ease with "I Dream of Jeanie,"
played as an encore.

Oriano de Almeida, a young
Brazilian pianist who has won
prizes in piano both in South
America and in Poland. played
last night at the Pan American
Union under the sponsorship of
the Ambassador Representative
of Brazil on the Council of the
Organization of American States
and Senhora Lobo. In a pro-
gram of big works he showed
considerable facility. but a
lamentable lack of rhythmic
firmness and the bad habit of
clouding everything he played
in a great wash of pedal.
The Chopin in particular was
read as though tempo rubato''
meant "senza Tempo" and the
composers mastery of the tech
nique of spacing pianoforte
chords to the best effect, often
went for naught because of the
performers tendency to exagger-
ate Chopin's characteristic lido
Syncracies.
Mr.. de Almelda has an UNI
deniable flair for the piano.
Fortunately he is yet young
enough to develop the necessary
restraints and ref1nements that
can make him a good artist.

"The Secrets Wedding" the or
cheStra. under 1t. Col. Santel-
OF Cimarosa's gay overture to
mann's baton, turned in an. un-
even and angular version of
Strauss Emperor Waltzes. /"
The hurried introduction and
the constantly shifting tempos
OF the waltz sequence, COM
bined with the overload playing
OF the brass section, did little
to recapture the grace and charm
this pearl among Strauss works
contains.
A few wekes ago, 1t. Col. San
telmann programmed Wilhellnj's
arrangement of Wagner's "Sieg-
fried Idyl" with unfortunate
musical results. Last night he
presented the work in it's original
form. This time. however, the
playing was sadly below the
standard the orchestra has set
for itself in recent weeks.
Ensemble was largely missing.
as was the clarity of phrasing
so usual at these concerts. And
a new feature, bad intonation,
added it's unpleasant bit to this
reviewers discomfort.
The soloist of the evening was
the capable principal violist of
the group, S/Sergt. Gerald Lef-
koff. The Stamitz viola concerto
served to display Sergt. Lefkoff's
considerable technical skill, his
fine sense of style and the quality
OF artistic projection that he
possesses.
