Hundreds OF American Organizations In
Protests Against Unfairness OF Statute
Washington, d. c. - The office Senator Herbert H.
Lehman today made public letter which Senator Lehman
addressed May 18th to Senator William LANCER Chair
of the Senate Judiciary Committee asking hearings
on proposals to amend the McCarran- Walter Act
The text of the letter follows:
Washington, ID. c.
May 15 1854
Honorable William LANCER
Senate Judiciary Committee
United States Senate
Washington ID. G.
Dear Senator LANCER
AS you are no doubt aware there is pending before
the Judiciary Committee comprehensive bill for the
revision of the. McCarranW Walter Act This bill in
troduced last August by myself and seven other Sena-
tors Senator Humphrey, who is co-sponsor of my
BILL has separately introduced another less comprehen
sve bill, also seeking to make vital changes in the
McCarran-Water Act. Very recently Senator Ives in
troduced similar bill.
The purpose of this letter is to make formal request
that hearings be scheduled the earliest possible time
on bill and such other proposals for the revision
of the McCarran-Walter Act the Judiciary Committee
may wish to consider at the time.
While I of the difficulties involved in
getting place for immigration legislation the Senate
schedule in the remaining months of this session,
also aware you must be- of the vital Importance of
this subject need not tell you how complex the subject
is Certainly the Committee and the Senate as a whole
should begin Immediately to study this important mat
ter. Whatever hearings be held this year will GER
any not be wasted effort The views of the and
hundreds of organizations throughout the country
interested in this legislation should be brought to bear
upon the legislative proposals pending before the
Committee.
I hope you will give early consideration to my re-
quest speak in this matter not only for myself but
think speak also for the cosponsors of my bill
S. 1885
With kind personal regards.
Very sincerely yours,

General Committee of Lodg
Yes, these are the material
possessions but over and
above that they possess the
good will, the respect and con-
fidence of the entire populace
of the city. Comprising a.
bout one fifth of the pop
ulation they WELD an influ-
ence of even greater proper
ton.
The local newspapers and
radio were, for months in ad-
vance, constantly lombard
ing the airwaves with news
and reminders of the st. Ro-
chus Jubilee Celebration. We
were told that the last few
weeks and days carried hour
ly spot announcements about
the big celebration. This was
all gratis and in fact it SEEM
ed that every medium of ad-
vertlsing was vieing for the
honor of having devoted the
most in time and space to the
affair.
We had the pleasure of
meeting the director of the
local "man on the street"
program, a Mr.. Cavanaugh,
whom we promptly named
kavanovich. Mr.. Cavanaugh
was at the banquet and had
nothing but good to say of
our people.
Banquet Sellout Event
The Banquet began prompt
ly at 6 PM. The spacious ball
room of the Croatian Home
was taxed to it's capacity. Af-
ter a copious meal the pro-
gram developed and saw the
introduction of Lodge Off
GERS, local political represen-
tatives of both the executive
and judicial branches and ad-
dresses by your correspon-
dent and bro. Mandich.
For us the fost profound
and the most significant ad-
dress was that delivered by
U. S. Congressman, the Hon.
John P. Saylor. Congressman
Saylor's speech was so STIR
ing that we took notes on the
spot and can give you some
direct quotes.
Speaking to our youth, he
said, "Never apologize for
your background, never be
ashamed Of your Croatian
heritage, never lose your
proud cultural heritage. "
And, what was to us the
most important utterance of
the evening, was said by this
same solon: Always b e
proud of being a member of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
of America"
Yes, these are the senti-
ments of a U. S. Congressman
who spoke as a true fraterna-
list, spoke from the heart be-
cause he holds the Croatian
people and their greatest or
ganization in high esteem.
Wishes Lodge The Best
Just a week before and
probably at the identical hour
it was our privilege to hear
the Chief Executive of the
great State of Michigan, Gov
ernor Williams, use similar
language in praising the CF'U
and it's membership. Yes in
deed, your organization and
mine is a great house Of fra
ternalism. Others have cor
rectly evaluated it, let us all
be proud offs it,
In conclusion, we want to
thank all our members in
Johnstown for making our

pleasure to be one of the two
official CFU representatives
in Johnstown, the other be-
ing Supreme President bro.
V. I. Mandich. Actually the
Lodge 5 celebration was a
huge two day affair COM
mencing with a dance on Sat-
urday May Is.
This "opener" attracted so
many people that even Johns
towns spacious Croatian Hall
groaned under the press of
humanity. 1t was indeed a
fitting Kickoff" for an his
toric milestone in an organi-
zation's history.
Hundreds Attend Mass
Sundays events began, ap-
propriately enough, with the
celebration of Solemn High
Mass at 1890 AM. Having
arrived at the Lodge head
quarters about 9::3O, bro. and
Mrs. Mandich and ourselves
were warmly welcomed by the
leaders and rank and file
membership already b u silly
engaged in the myriad tasks
confronting every such un-
dertaking.
Prior to this visit we knew
only a few people in Johns
town and, of course, one of
these few was sister Fishter,
Manager of our large Nest 4.
We noticed that throughout
the day the team of Fishter
and Fishter (Mr. and Mrs.
was continuously on the 60,
working like the proverbial
beavers.
We hesitate to continue
With names for fear Of for
getting some and inadver-
tently sighting anyone. How
ever, we must state that we
were all impressed with the
cheerful enthusiasm which
permeated every individual
and group, and these were
necessarily legion, that was
assigned a task.
Bro. Frank Sobditch, the
youngster, President Of this
huge affiliate, told us that he
will forever be gratefully i'm
pressed with the ready obedi-
ence with which everyone ac-
cepted his assignment.
Priest Lauds Society
AS the time approached
for Mass we all began an or
derly trek to st. Rochus R.
G. Croatian Church. AS we
assisted in the holy ritual we
could not help but reflect
upon the proud and praise
worthy trinity of purpose
which motivated our found
ing fathers everywhere but
especially in ] o h n s t O w n,
where despite the usual and
the unusual obstacles, they
were able to firmly establish
an organization which provi-
ded the means and media for
worshipping their God, for
mutual, assistance and for
grateful service to the land
of their rebirth.
Rev. ]. A. Sostarich, Pas
tor and celebrant Of the Mass,
devoted his entire sermon,
English and Croatian, to the
CFU. Reviewing the history
of st. Rochus Society, Lodge
s, he paid tribute to the pio-
neers for their courage, self
sacrifice and perseverance.
He detailed the struggles and
obstacles that were the lot of
the Hedging organization.
Father Sostarich told us
how when these great men of
vision had firmly established
their Lodge they then pro-
ceeded with the founding of
their church where they could
worship as have their ances-
tors from the dawn of Chris
tianity. Once the church was
established they then turned
to the task of building a
school where new generations

born in Johnstown and re-
ceived his Croatian lessons
in that school. Vivid are his
memories of youth, of the So
cial and cultural activities
that tied him forever to his
national background.
Appeal To Younger Set
He was profuse in his
thanks to the CFU for it's sup
port of this and other such
schools and emphasized that
only through the CF'U was
it possible to perpetuate our
proud cultural heritage.
He pointed out too, that
once the Lodge, the church
and the school were going
concerns the people then
bought a plot of land for a
Croatian cemetery where af-
ter life's arduous journey was
completed, they would find a
last resting place, thus COM
pleting the cycle of life in an
unbroken proximity to their
beloved nationality.
Father Sostarich urged the
young people to keep close
affiliation to their church and
their Croatian Fraternal Uni
on. He exhorted them to be
active members Of the CFU
and appealed to the older
members to accept and en-
courage the youth into lead
ership for only thus can har-
mony reign and the future be
assured.
VISIT Founders Grave
It was a heartwarming ex-
perience to witness this utili-
zation of a pulpit for such
remarks in behalf of the CFU
and we want to thank Father
Sostarich for them.
After Mass and in the early
part Of the afternoon we were
offered the opportunity to
visit the cemetery which was
mentioned in the aforemen-
toned sermon. We saw there
the last resting place of ma
ny pioneers. Bro. Mandich
had the honor of placing a
wreath on the grave of Bozo
Gojsovich, the founder of
Lodge 5. Bro. Gojsovich Incl
dentally was a Serb and rests
