Their resolution denounced what
they called ''the intention of those
American political circles which
seek to unleash an atomic world
war"
Bishops Accused
When the Bishops refused to
join in the resolution of the "patri-
otie priests, the vast communist
propaganda setup began accusing
the Bishops of wanting the devasta-
ton of mankind through atomic
and hydrogen war.
Ii was at this point, according to
informed sources here, that the
Bishops decided to issue their state
ment to make their position clear
before the Polish public.
The special reference TO Ger
many, it is explained here, must
be understood in the light of the
state of Polish public opinion
which, recalling the bitter expert.
ences of the wartime nazi occupa-
ton. looks with the utmost suspi-
cion at any move or trend toward
German rearmament.
Communist propaganda, always
ready to exploit these fears shared
by the great majority of the Polish
people, has often attempted to in
dict the Church in Poland as al
lies" of the West and enemies" of
Polish national interests, it was
said.
Consequently, the Polish Bishops
felt compelled to answer again
these accusations.

Shortly after Gaspar del Buffalo

Napoleon took Rome and exiled
the young priest along with many
other clergy who refused to abjure
their allegiance to the Holy See.
After five years almost without
clergy during the Napoleonic oc-
cupation, the people of Rome need

To this end the young priest began
to conduct missions and to found

Recalling the Easter message of
His Holiness Pope Plus XII asking
for an effective ban on atomic wea-
pons, the statement urges the
worldwide unconditional prohibi-
ton of atomic weapons. 1t also ex-
presses alarm at the possible dan
ger posed for Poland by a rearm-
ed Germany.
The statement parallels in mo-
rive that issued three years ago
by the Hierarchy in connection
with the Stockholm Peace Ap-
peal. according TO informed
sources here.
At that time the Polish Bishops
had refused to affiX their sigma
lures to the appeal which called
for outlawing the atom bomb and
branding as a criminal the nation
that first used it. An endless
stream of government propaganda
then accused the Bishops of want

National Shame

X 10 American worth his salt as a citizen
of what the world envies as represent
ing the most blessed land on earth can take
any pride in the anti-integration demonstra-
ton staged in Baltimore, Maryland, last
week by sadly misguided students.
Estimated by police to number 1000,
the throng Of students paraded through the
streets of the city shouting anti-Negro IT,
rades at times and Haunting banners carry
ing such highly inflammatory un-American
slogans as Southern High SCHOOL, Don't
Want Negroes,' "Kick EN- Out" South
ern's Colors Are Maroon And Gold, Not
White And Black Keep The Germ Co.
ing" and others equally as nauseating to
human decency.
After parading to their hearts content,
the youthful demonstrators attempted to
force their way into City Hall when Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro Jr, ignored their
shouted demands that he come out and sip
of their contagious anti-Negro venom
Who to blame for this national shame
in the eyes of wondering world?
The students, still very young boys and
girls who should, but don't, know better?
The Supreme Court of the United States,
which ruled out segregation months ago to
make possible these demonstrations a.
eainst those created by God to be encased
in a colored = black skin?
Or shall we pin the blame where it be-
longs, on the 1000 American" chests of
the mothers and fathers of those students
who paraded through the streets of Balti-
more to carry out the dirty work they
their parents, organized in the first place.
Let no American think for one moment
that this anti-Negro batting is but pass
ing fancy indulged in by handful of
youngsters who don't know better
Tomorrow's demonstrations could be
anti-Jew, anti-Italian, ant-Croat, anti any
thing and everything which is found want
ing in the way Of race, creed or color by
those fanatics, those of the lunatic fringe
who have set themselves up as 1000, un-
adulterated Americans for America"
There may be among us those who feel
that we are. far too intelligent as Amcri-
cans to permit such a thing to come to pass
in the United States. SO were the German
people under Hitler intelligent; as were the
Italians who went along with Mussolini
SO were the Romans in their times; as
were all the educated dupes in history who
subcribed to the fallacy that the earth was
meant for the white man to rule at the ex-
pense of all other races

Kansas City's Opportunity To Return To Fold

THERE is a great deal Of far reaching
| Importance attached to the Mass Meet
ing to be held next Thursday, October Il,
under the auspices Of the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions Central Educational Committee
of Kansas City, Kansas, Lodges
In fact unless the gathering, to be ad-
dressed by Supreme Treasurer bro. Martin
Krasich, Pittsburgh, is an unconditional
success, we. for one, will be forced to as
sumo that our Kansas City members are no
longer interested in their Society to the
point of supporting it as they did in so ma
ny constructive ways in years gone by.
Like it or not, Kansas City has been
"as dead as door nail'' for so long that we
cannot remember the last time the Society
gained anything from it either morally or
materially - this in spite of the fact that
it is the home of one of the Nations largest
Croatan Colonies.
There are no doubt reasons for this in
activity. But whatever they are, be they
real or imaginative surely none are of such
stature as to rule out Kansas City's imme-
diate return to it's rightful position of emil
nence in the Croatian Fraternal Union,
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-10-13

We know, for a fact that Kansas City
is not without men and women, old and
young, capable of leading the Societys fra
ternal forces in that great metropolis.
We also know that Kansas City and en-
virons still represent one Of the Croatian
Fraternal Unions better -than-average re-
cruiting fields; that the area is we'll
stocked with countless young people eligi-
bic for membership in our great Society.
But neither those qualified to be lead
ers nor those eligible for membership can
come into successful contact unless the ma
iority Of our Kansas City members them
selves provide the initiative for mutual en-
thusasm and activity through the medium
of their Central Educational Committee.
That, as we see it. is an absolute necessity.
There are, in the end. many things we
as an Editor can do for the good of Kansas
City if we are provided with an incentive to
do so. AS a matter Of fact, this goes for
both Editors of the Zajednicar and all other
Officials at the Home Office
The rest is up to our members in Kansas
City. We await their decision.

For their benefit, we implied
no such thing in arranging the

Casting Some More Light On Mr.. Dark

note, applies to his World
Series earnings. Mr.. Dark
plans to give 10 per cent, or
about $1,000, to his home
Church, the Trinity Baptist,
back in Lake Charles, Louisi-
ana.
There is no way to know,
of course, what effect, if any,
his experiences as a Chris
tian, or as a newsboy, have
had upon Mr.. Dark's success
as a ballplayer. 1t may be
that he would have fielded
ground balls and smacked
curves just as we'll if he had
never been inside a Church
or learned to work as a child.
Still, the qualities of dis
cipline and devotion that one
acquires as youth carry
over into adult life. Certainly
those qualities have served
and will continue to serve
the baseball star we'll in what
ever he undertakes. This addi-
tional light on Mr.. Dark
makes us feel pretty good
about the Giant victory and
the important part that he
played in it.

The Road Ahead IL

Asst week we pointed out that there is
l. no reason even at this early date why
the Croatian Fraternal Unions Philadel-
nhia Convention of 1855 should exceed five
full working days.
Today, we should like to recommend
time saving device designed to keep the
Convention within our prescribed work
shift of five days, that of putting the So
ciety's Bylaws in the best possible order
before the opening of the Convention.
We feel this can be done by selecting
Pre-Conventon Committee on Bylaws
comprised of fourteen 14) people; seven
representing the Home Office of the Soci-
etv, the other seven the Delegates,
As we see it, the Societys representa-
tivcs on this Committee would be the Su-
preme President, Supreme Secretary, Su-
preme Treasurer, Secretary of the Sick
Benefit Department. Junior Order Director,
Medical Examiner and Legal Counsellor.
Representing the Convention Delegates
at large would - should = be seven men
and women who are more than just pass
ngly acquainted with the Societys By
Laws, members who would be selected by
the Home Office to sit on the Committee on
the basis of their knowledge of the By
Laws through years of experience.
This COMMITTEE Of Fourteen" would
meet in Philadelphia the Friday before the
opening Of the 9th Quadrennial Convention
on September 19, 1855. and stay on the job
through Sunday, September Is, if necessa-
ry, to clear the Bylaws Of all excess bag
gage and arrive at unanimous decision as
to the best set of rules and regulations to
suggest to the Convention for adoption.
We believe, in all sincerity. that this
recommendation of ours would limit the
bylaw Section Of the 1855 Convention
to no more than one day of sound work.

those fabulous Texans set out
to do something, anything,

Example: The District At

reported investigating a Texas

ballots during the recent run

October 5 EditOriaD

At $50 Sunday morning
October 81, when some of
bis teammates were in all
probability still sleeping off
the effects of a victory cele-
bration, Captain Alvin Dark
of the world champion New
York Giants kept "a date to
address the Sunday School
classes at the Calvary Baptist
Church, in Yonkers, New
York.
1t was not strange to see
him there, it should be noted,
because he and his family
have been in regular attend
ance during the baseball sea-
son. But he probably couldn't
have made it unless he and
his mates had won four
straight over the Indians.
Mr.. Dark's devotion to the
Church is nothing new. AS a
newsboy many years ago,
when he was earning $3.50 a
week, the star shortstop be-
gan his practice of tithing,
giving 10 per cent of my
earnings to Cod And the
tithing, it is interesting to
