Responsibility
For'AOrder
ToBeFixed
~ JOHN CHADWICK

(R-Indl said today the Senate in
ternal security subcommittee will
try to fix responsibility for an
order which, he said, the White
House issued In 1914 for destruction
Of some naval intelligence files on
Communist activities.
This new turn In the Communist
hunting subcommittee probes
was the aftermath Of Jenner's
account Of the episode TO dinner
gathering here last night attended
by Vice President Nixon and some
400 other guests.
This Is how Jenner, the sub
committee chairman, related the
story IL the lies:
They had been built up by a
Navy Observation-Disclosures unit In
New York which had an under
cover contact In the Communist
organization, he said, and had
the basic information on Commu-
nists In the maritime units, Com
munists on the waterfront and
Communists in the conveys that
went to Russia ITSELF"
Robert Morris, who later became
counsel 70 the internal security
subcommittee, In early 1914 was a
naval lieutenant attached to the
New York Observation-Disclosures unit.
Victor yKravchenko, an official Of
the Soviet purchasing commission
who broke with his Communist
government, sought out Morris to-
give him information, Jenner said
However, after one contact, he
added, Washington sent orders To-
s'let KravchenkO alone"
Continuing, Jenner said word
reached New York that the coun-I
ter-intelligence unit was 10 be
broken up. Morris went to Wash
ington to protest but, Jenner went
on, within asfew days" the mem
bers Of the unit were scattered ito
the four corners Of the EARTH" and
the files were ordered destroyed.
Morris was transferred to the
headquarters of Adm. Chester
Nimitz, commander Of the Pacific
Fleet.
Jennef said Morris told Nimitz
about the breaking up Of the intel
hgence unit and Nimitz took up
the matter with Adm. Ernest ].
King, then chief Of naval opera
tons, when King came to the
Pacific on q visit q little later.
Jenner said he got the rest of
the story recently from an officer
whom be would not name but who
was on Nimitz' staff. 1enner con-
kinued:
"Nimitz told King what Bob
Morris had told him and asked IL
1t could possibly be true that such
an incredible order could have
been issued. Adm. King replied
that Il was true.
"But who,' demanded Adm
Nimitz, could possibly have given
such an Order?' Adm. King re.
piled, "The White House."
However. last night Adm. MIN.
itz said by telephone from his
Berkeley, Calf, home, 81 have
no recollection Of the incident at
ALL"
Morris said in an interview he
had not previously known Of the
Nimitz King conversation
described by Jenner. He said the
officer who told Of Il Is now an
admiral.
The $7.S0-A.plate dinner was
held In honor Of Morris, who re.
signed as the suhcommittee's
counsel last December TO take

Truly Staggering

A CCUSTOMED as Americans are to box
car figures, very few realize that mil
lions Of common, ordinary citizens of the
United States have invested billions in Life
Insurance Protection.
According to official statistics, at the
close of 1852 there was $172 billion of or
dinary life insurance in force, S6S billion
of group insurance, and $36 billion of in
dustrial insurance, for total of $276 bill
lion in all at the end of that year.
The same year, 1852, also saw America
Fraternal Societies account for S9.5 billion
of life insurance in force Approximately the
same amount Of protection in force as the
ordinary insurance = old line - companies
reported back in 1895.
Fraternal life insurance increased from
1895 until 1919, when it had S10.6 billion,
following which it kept decreasing until it
hit just $6.6 billion in 1941.
This steady decline between 1919 and
1941 forced virtually every Fraternal So
cicty to modcrnize its way of thinking and
start campaigns geared to "sell' fraternal
life insurance to the American public. The
fact that the Fraternals are now over the
$40 billion mark in the insurance field
shows how we'll they have succeeded in
selling" their products since 1941.
AS staggering as this fratcrnal life in
surance record is, it is not to the satisfac-
ton of the more progressive leaders of the
Countrys larger Fraternals.
They feel there should be two to three
times that much fraternal life insurance in
force and arc urging every Fraternal able
to do so to permit the writing of $10,00O00
certificates
Perhaps that is the answer to the prob
lem of the Fratcrnals locked in competi-
tive battle with the old line companies, es-
peclally those companies able to offer
prospects $10,00O.00 policies Of the hun
dreds of such organizations in the United
States today, only 33 Fraternal Societies
write certificates for that amount
Again, perhaps the Fraternals should
still further modernize their way of think
ing and act accordingly

Nothing To Fear

WEARS ago, the late, great President
Franklin d. Roosevelt coined the phrase
There is nothing to fear, except fear
ITSELF in speech dealing with depres-
sion plaguing America at the time
Today, more than two decades after
President Roosevelt uttered those sensible
words, we find certain elements in this
Country hell bent upon convincing us that
the United States is already in the midst of
a recession and only short while removed
from an all-out depression
These fear mongers' are doing Amer
lea a disservice, for the plain, unvarnished
truth is that the Administration at Wash
lnSton sees no really alarming signs of a
recession, let alone the faintest inkngs of
depression. 1t just isn't SO.
Now, we happen to be a Democrat and
are perfectly willing to admit for the record
that we did not vote in 1852 for Dwight D.
Eisenhower for President
However, Ike" happened to become the
leader of every American, including us, af-
ter his elevation to office January 20, 1858,
and we owe it to ourselves to heed his coun-
sci no less than we needed the sage advice
of President Roosevelt years ago.
President Eisenhower cannot lead Amc-
rlca on to greater things if it's citizens go
around talking in recession and-or deprcs-
sion terms based on rumors The people
must be behind him in his endeavors to keep
us economically strong = not with knife
poised at his back, but with prayers
We remember, all too well, what the
last depression did to the Croatan Frater-
nal Union in particular and to Americans
of Croat descent in general. We do not want
to go through that trial again.
Faith - not Fear - is what we need to
prevent another such disaster.

We Wish Him Luck

THE resignation December 81, 1858, Of
bro. Wendell S. Platck as Supreme
President of the National Slovak Society
to become President of the Federal Saw
ings and Loan Association of Homestead.
Pa, represents loss to Fraternalism.
During his sixteen years at the helm
Of the powerful MSS. a sister fraternal,
bro. Platek made a multitude of friends
as he fought to keep his beloved Society
among the Nations most progressive such
institutions That he also made few enc
mics during his tenure goes without say
ing, for successful man is bound to run
afoul of the ilk in his lifetime
We have had the good fortune of know
ing bro. Platek personally for number Of
years and have long admired him for, be-
lieve it or not, his open and frank admir-
alton Of the Croatian Fraternal Union =
a friendly competitor of the MSS.
Bro. Platek felt as we do, that there is
ample room in America for orders like
the CFU and MSS to prosper without the
one resorting to bclittling the other, be
that orally or otherwise
For that, and much more, we thank
him and wish him the very best of luck
in his new position. His new employers
may we'll be proud of bro Platck
Succeeding bro. Platck as head of the
MSS is bro. Paul c. Kazimer, who has our
very best wishes for success.

Pittsburgh, Pa. - De-
cember 81, 1858, brother
Wendell S. Platek conclu-
ded sixteen years of faith
full, energetic and fruitful
service as Supreme Presi-
dent of the National Slovak
Society.
His rendered resignation
was accepted by the men,
bers of the MSS Supreme
Assembly in session at the
Home Office, December 19,
1858. He was succeeded in
office by Vice-President
brother Paul G.. Kazimer, of
Homestead, Pa.
Brother Platek's leaving
is a severe, almost irrepla-
ceable, loss to the National
SSiovak Society, his affable
manner, his wholehearted
cooperation in all things
concerning the welfare of
the MSS, his literary abili-
ty, his knowledge of invest
ments, will all be sorely
missed; but more than all
