Discharged P0Ws

The Army disclosed today that

would have been cause for court
martial of a number of former
prisoners Of war of the Com
munists in Korea who have been
given honorable discharges.
AS result of these discoveries
the Justice Department is look
ling into number of cases to de-
termine whether treason or other
charges can be brought against
) the former POW's in civil courts.

approximately 5000 American
.POWs were released in the "big
switch" and the little switch"
prisoner exchanges in Korea,
many were Immediately eligible
for separation.

: The Army could not delay sep
aration for any except those it
could bring court-martial charges
against. AS a result, an Army
spokesman explained. honorable
discharges were given men
against whom there was later
certain adverse information
based on accusations of other
prisoners, further investigation
and other records"
The spokesman said that some
of the cases involved were similar
to those of Corpls. Edward s.
:Dickenson and Claude j. Batche-
,lor, who were sentenced to life
imprisonment by Army courts
martial for consorting with their
Communist captors and betray-
ing their GI comrades.
1t was pointed out there is a
possibility that if the Justice

stances arrest and court-martial
them under the 1850 Uniform

power, however, is now being
tested in the Supreme Court.

Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Luga-
rich of McKeesport, who re-
Gently transferred to our
ranks from Junior Nest 27.
Thomas has one sister who
is also a member of Nest 81.
He was born and raised in
Versailles, and attended the
public school where he was a
good student.
Bro. Lugarich's parents
moved to McKeesport, where
upon he went to the McKees-
port Vocational High School,
graduating with highest hon
ors. During his scholastic ca
reer here he was a member of
the Student Council and the
American Junior Red Cross.
Thomas was a member of
the staff of the McKeesport
High School Yearbook and
the Marching Band. Right
now he is enrolled as a fresh
man at Marietta College, Ma
rietta, Ohio.
Our newest recruit is a
pledge of the Lambda Chi
Alpha Fraternity and also of
the Gusher Club. All in all
he is a very busy young man
with his studies and his eX-
tra-curricular activities. He
found time also to participate
in the Junior bowling league,
thereby showing his interest
in his fraternal brethren.
We take this opportunity to
welcome Thomas into our
midst and we hope that he
will continue to be a credit
to his parents, his fellow
Lodge members and to his
community.

Joins Lodge GIL

Cleveland, Ohio - Intro
ducing the newest and young
est affiliate of "Strivers"
CFU Lodge 671 we proudly
present to the entire C.F.U.
membership, bro. Michael
Dragas, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dmitar Dragas, of Euclid,
Ohio.
At the present time Michael
is attending the Euclid Senior
High School from which in
stitution he intends to grad
uate this coming June. AS to
his somewhat vague future
plans, Michael expects to 60
on to college in the Fall and
make music his field of en-
deavor.
Michael has played bass
with the Tune Toppers and is
currently starring in the Joe
Luzar Band. With all these
extra curricular activities,
young Michael still manages
to find the time to help out
in his fathers dry cleaning
business.
Our newest recruit was ad-
mitted into the Junior Nest
on September 13, 1915 and
transferred to our ranks in
October, 1858. His mother,
Ann, is also a member of
"Strivers" while his father is
housed in the ranks Of Lodge
235, and his brother, Peter,
still affiliated with Junior
Nest GOA.
We certainly hope that Mi
chael thoroughly enjoys his
affiliation with us here in the
"Strivers" ranks and extend
to him and his entire C.F.U.
family, the best of luck in the
future.

GrZanichs Give
Lodge POI Break

Dunfernline, Ill. - Th e
members of "St. Rok" CFU
Lodge POI take great pleasure
in welcoming sister Barbara
Ann Grzanich, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Swanimir Gr-
zanich, into our midst follow
ing her transfer from the
ranks of Junior Nest 131.
A graduate Of Lewistown
High School, class of 1858,
Barbara Ann is at the pre-
sent time employed at the
Premier Loan Company in
Canton, Ill. She enjoys her
work immensely as her per-
sonality is suited to a posi-
ton which requires meeting
people throughout the day.
Lest we should forget to
mention, Barbara Ann be-
longs to the Grzanich clan of
CFU members, of which there
are legion, members who are
ever active in the promotion
al work of our organization.
Barbara's father will be re-
membered for his activity on
the Convention floor as a del
egate to the Pittsburgh Con-
vention of 1889.
In closing, we extend our
best wishes, Barbara Ann, for
happiness and success in the
future.

contest to be run off in con-
junction with the Goth Ami
versary Celebration and the
C.F.U. Day festivities of the
United Lodges Committee, on
Sunday, July 25, 1854, at
West View Park, Pittsburgh.
The lovely young lady is
none other than Ann Papu-
cich, a member of CFU Lodge
24S and daughter of Matt and
Kata Papucich. An affiliate
of Junior Nest 80 from early
childhood, Ann finds her par
ents and brother Matthew
housed within our ranks,
while a younger sister, Ver-
onica, is enjoying her circle of
friends still in Nest 80.
We can very easily see that
Ann has been indoctrinated
in the principles of fraterna-
lism through her parents,
who are staunch supporters
and members of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
Ann was born on May 6,
1895, in Clarion and gradu-
ated from high school on
June 4, 1853. At the present
time she is employed at the
Style Center and Children's
Shoppe in Clarion, and is
supplementing her education
three evenings a week by at
tending Business College in
McKeesport, Pa.
With such a heavy schedule
of activities, we were rather
dubious about the advisability
of Ann competing in this con-
test, but she readily assured
us that she still has four eve
nings a week in which to sell
her tickets and thus try for
top honors.
With the assistance of her
family, relatives and friends,
we believe that Ann will put
up a great showing when the
final tabulations are made on
July 25th.
We urge the members of
both Clarion CFU Lodges to
get behind Ann in this en-
deavor, as they did last year
when our member, Dorothy
Bekavac, emerged the winner.
Who knows, we may put
Clarion on the map again
this year by taking home the
honors in the name of Ann
Papucich.
