Benedict's Church. The mass
than at st. Jerome's Church
due to the fact that st. Jer-
ONES Church is under con-
struction. The mass was Of
fered in memory of all of the
departed members of the
C.F.U. and particularly of
those from Detroit and vici-
nifty.
Father Victor Stefanac
conducted the mass and
Father Oscar Suster as
sisted by reading the Cos
pei, announcements and
the sermon in Croatian.
1t was a wonderful feeling
to see the many faces of our
members who paid their re-
spects to the dead. Follow
ing the mass, we were intro
duced by our aunt, Mrs. Ma
ry Verbos, to a goodly num-
Der of those in attendance,
many of whom we were to
see again in the course of the
events which followed that
day.
Banquet Great Success
The festivities proper were
held in the spacious and beau
tiful new American Serbian
Memorial Hall on Van Dyke
and Outer Drive in Detroit.
Here the festivities were to
start at 100 PM with a ban
quet, but we'll in advance of
the hour of one, the Hall was
practically filled and all of
the available 800 seats were
taken and many were waiting
to be served for the second
setting. Typical Croa t i a n
cooking was served, all very
tastely prepared and prompt
ly served in large and suffi-
cient quantities.
The program under the ca
pable craftsmanship of broth
er John Bobinac began as
soon as possible following the
serving Of the dinner. The
Presidents Of the various
Lodges constituting the Cen
trail Committee addressed the
groups, some in English, ma
ny in Croatian, all saying
wonderful words of praise of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
and holding high hopes for
the future of the C.F.U.
Among those addressing
the group was brother
Matt Goretta, member of
the Supreme Board of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Due to the fact that there
were so many additional per.
sons to be served and a Bit
of confusion resulted In ar
ranging their setting, it was
the opinion of the program
committee that your reporte,

This we were pleased to do

it would have been proper tt

We were very grateful tt
the people who received us sc
well but, in keeping with thu
program committees plans
we reserved our principle ad,
dress for the evening.
Following our limited ap-
pearance, a very stirring
address was delivered by

person whom we shall hear
much of in the future.
We liked his frank ap
proach to matters and hi.

Reconsiderafio Due
On Family Court Bill,
Passed by Senate

Senate action Is expected
again within a few days on a
Senate District Committee bill
for the creation of a separate
family court here to handle all
domestic relations cases, now
taken care of by the U. S. District
Court for the District of Co
lumbia.
The bill was passed yesterday,
without explanation, debate or
objection, while the Senate was
racing through a dozen District
bills on its consent calendar.
About two hours later, how
ever, Senator Gore, Democrat,
Of Tennessee. minority party
watchdog" on calendar bills,
filed a motion for the Senate
to reconsider its action. This
ties the bill to the Senate desk
until the Senate disposes of the
motion.
Acts for McCarran.
Senator Gore acted at the re-
quest Of agents of Senator Nc
Carran, Democrat, of Nevada,
who was out of town. Senator
McCarran is the author of a
bill to create q additional Fed
eral judgeshipS, including three
more for the United States Dis
trict Court here. instead of three
judges for a separate Family
Court.
Senator Gore, however, told
reporters he favors the Family
Court plan and that he filed
the motion simply as an accom-
mediation for a Democratic col
league.
Unless that member asks for
Senate action on the reconsider
alton motion within a few
days." Senator Gore said, he
will withdraw his motion. SEN
ator McCarran. is due back in
Washington before the end of
the week.
The point here is that unless
some Senator moves for action
on the motion to reconsider, the
filing Of such a motion could
hold up a Senate passed" bill
indefinitely. Sen ator Cores
statement made clear that he
would not be a party to that.
McCarran Bill Pending.
The McCarran bill for extra
Federal court judges here and
elsewhere also is awaiting action
by the Senate. It was called
up recently in the Senate, but
action was postponed because II
was considered too important
for action on the consent calen-
dar, where debate is limited.
Senator McCarran is supported
by spokesmen for the District
Bar Association, as well as the
Senate Judiciary Committee. The
Family Court plan has the back
ing Of the Judicial Conference
of the United States and the

home was an asset which could
