Society's Play House
Is Still Well Stocked

TICtSDuTSH, 4 a. - ~ u +
stock of playlets in the Gro
attain language for children
is not as extensive as we
would like it to be.
But with "Dva Macka," a
short dramatic skit by Rado-
sevic Branko, we have some
thing to offer our Nests who
may be shopping for a facet
to incorporate into an indoors
social venture.
The dramatic piece can be
portrayed by three charac-
ters and can be had from this
Department. You are espec-
tally invited to inquire fur
ther into what your organiza-
tion has to offer.
To the senior thespians we
can say we have a diversified
supply of one-act plays in
Croatian. They are available
in numbers, almost without
exception, one copy for each
member in the cast.
The list of the short plays
available to our Lodges for
the asking are "Udovica"
"Ljubomorni Suprug", "Zim-
ski Kaput", "stidljivi Mlado-
zenja", "Slogom Raste Male
Stvari", "Zapustene Njive" ,
"Posljedni Susret", INA Mr.
tvoj STRAIT" "Prosac u Nepri-
lici", "Medvjed", "Prosidba"
"Pamet u Glavu", "Puske Co.
spode Carrar" and others.
All that we ask in case you
are not familiar with any of
the above is that you stipu-
late the number of persons in
your available cast. We most
certainly feel confident that
we can supply you with a
play that will meet your
needs.
While we dote on Croatian
drama and our stock by past
inquiries for English Ian
guage plays has not had to be
large, we can bring the De-
partment to your service. If
there is a particular play in
the English language that
your Lodge group may want
to perform, we will secure
you copies of the play.
On the other hand if left
up to us we can fill your
needs from the stock of Eng
lish language plays already
on hand. This is just another
service of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union which too many
do not know and should take
advantage of the offer.

not only for the sensual plea

the world, by today's stand
ards, the salary of a Con-
gressman can not be called
high. Industries and business
firms pay their top men much
better, so for a good man
there is no incentive to run
for Congress or to seek any
other Government job.
Of course 100000 per
year may seem high to us,
but to a Congressman who
must assume a higher stand
ard, it is anything but that.
True, a great many of them
have private businesses, net
ting them NOR than their
government salary, while
some are even known to be
millionaires. But again there
are others whose only income
is their government check.
CFU Voters Said "Nix".
However, they have one ad-
vantage over officers and Of
ficials of our fraternal organ.
izations - they can raise
their own salaries whenever
they want.
Realizing that they would
have a slim chance for a raise
if it was left to the voters
(our own CFU members just
recently turned down a re.
quest by the Supreme and
Executive Board members fol
a modest increase), they have
a provision in the laws allow.
ing them to increase their
own compensation when they
deem it necessary.
But again this is easier sai6
than done. They are exceed.
ingly wary, always keeping
their nose to the ground tt
sound out the will Of their
constituents. Remember back
in 1916, when they intended
to raise their salaries, how the
citizens began sending bun
dies for Congressman tt
Washington?
This embarrassed them to
such an extent that they gave
up the idea, although they
nevertheless voted themselves
later on $2,500.00 per year as
an expense item, tax free.
Bean Soup And Steaks
Now, some punsters have
again taken up the familiar
pun, this time concentrating
on X beef.
It seems that some Con
gressmen complained some
time ago that initiation ha:
played such havoc with theil
salaries that just about tn,
only thing they can now af
ford to eat is bean soup il
the Congressional cafeteria
Such luxuries as steaks arr
out of the question.
Immediately their cry wa!
taken up. what, to let oul
lawmakers eat nothing bu'
bean soup while we gorge our
selves on steaks on our fou1
thousand dollar yearly sala
ries - this must not be al
lowed to continue. Suppos'

You may stand it for a while

woman. So, we must see to i
that the men we sent tt
Washington get their steak a
least once a week."
Manager Behind 8 Ball
So the joke goes again. Per
haps some of you do not know
that bean soup is on the men,

In the last AZ years, onl,

Predict More Steaks, Less Bean Soup
Should Congressman Vote Salary Boost
Worlds Richest Nation Niggardly When

FGCSDurgh, Ia. - We are
often reminded that we
should take more interest in
the doings of Congress, where
the Representatives, chosen
by electorate, make laws that
effect every one of us.
AS we know, Congress con-
sists Of two houses, the Sem
ate and the House of Repre-
sentatives. While the Senator's
are elected for six yeors, the
term of Representatives is
only two years.
Congressional elections are
held every two years, with
one third of the Senators to
be chosen and all of the Rep
resentatives. Thus too great
an inequity exists between
the terms of the two houses.
There has been talk that
the Constitution should be a.
mended, SO that Representa-
tives would be elected for four
years, one half of the House
being elected every two years.
Representatives On Run
These proposals have much
merit. AS is now constituted
a Representative, no sooner
being installed in the office,
starts making plans for the
next campaign in order to
keep his name before the vo-
ters. Two years is a. very
short period for an office
term of such Importance.
The holder does not devote
his full time to the work for
which he has been elected, but
divides it between visiting his
electorate and Washington.
A four year term would al
low him considerably more
time to attend to the urgent
business that comes before
the Congress.
Neither Party Prevails
The Congress convenes ev-
cry two years. The first Con-
gress met 166 years ago and
ntthe present is therefore the
$3rd Congress.
When 1t met last January,
both houses had a Repubi-
can majority, but because of
the death of Senator Taft,
who was replaced by a Demo
crat, the Republicans no long
er have a majority in the
Senate. They are now so even
ly divided in both houses that
neither party can put over a
bill without the support of
the other.
Remember the 80th Con-
gress? It was Harry Tru-
mans favorite whipping boy.
"That do nothing, good for
nothing 80th Congress" was
the familiar cry throughout
the 1948 Presidential Cam
paign. The Democrats sue
ceeded in their effort and re-
gained the majority in the
next Congress.
83rd Congress Stalled
But let us see what the pre-
sent Congress has accomp-
lished so far.
Up to now a lot of oratory
and hot air was released in
both Houses, but of hundreds
of bills that were introduced,
only twelve, relatively unim-
portant, were signed into law.
The Bricker Amendment
stirred so much fuss that
everything else was forgotten
for the time being. Five weeks
were wasted with debates and
arguments only to have the
bill finally killed by a majori-
ty of one.
Such major legislative pro-
posals as the Taft-Hartley bill
revision, Social Security ex-
pansion, raising of the Ma.
tional Debt, Statehood for
Alaska, revision of farm pro-
gram - all these are lying
dormant in the committees.

Is $4,000 Enough Pay:

For a long time there has
been agitation that because of
initiation the salaries of Con-
gressmen should be increased.
OF course there are two
schools of thought on this
question.

Cantwell, now stationed at

stardom. Mrs. Wagner is Can't
wells sister.
Wagner continued to drive a
milk truck in Washington while
Hi-Lo's Forbes was breaking rec
ords and bringing in rich purses,
earning $52,625 last year alone.
Testimony brought out that the
horse was valued at $500 in
transfers from David Cantwell to
John Lane, his wife's brother-in-
law, and then to the WagnerS in
1850. Cantwell, who died two
weeks after the transfers were
completed, had bought Hi-Lo's
Forbes as a 5-month-old wean-
ling for $500 in 1948 at Colum-
bus, Ohio.
Mrs. Wagner had testified that
her brother made no claims on
Hi-Lo's Forbes before the PAGER
began winning purses and chalk
ing up records. She said she and
her husband paid all expenses
after acquiring the horse from
Lane.
Counsel for Sergt. Cantwell
argued Lane had never taken
possession of the horse and
hadn't seen it after the trans
action. The sergeant contended
the transfers were invalid.
