and friends the long awaited
film, "This Is Your Croatian

This is the very first op-

pie in this colony to witness
the marvellous technicolor,
sound film prepared by the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Three major divisions in sub
ject matter make the picture
one which few CFU members
can afford to miss.
First the scene unfolds in
the C. F. u. Home Office in
Pittsburgh, Pa. Here we see
the processing of material,
the wheels of activity turning
in the dispensing of countless
details in order to keep the
G. F. U. business running
smoothly.
We are then taken to Ga
ry, Indiana, where we see
Gary's answer to juvenile de-
linquency, an in t e r e t n G
Summer School for the Nest
10 youngsters. See them prac-
ticing the kolo steps which
they learn, crafts they have
mastered and attending other
classes equally as interesting
Finally, the pride of every
CFU member, the CFU Chill
dren's Home in Des PLANES
ILL.,, is shown with various ac.
tivities of our kiddies housed
in this institution, including
the annual 4th of July Picnic.
These scenes are guaranteed
to warm the hearts of all the
viewers and bring a tear to
many an eye.
A cordial invitation to at
tend this unusual event is
issued to all our members
and friends in this area. Ar

u. ). Rubber Strike
Threat Postponed
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 20. - A
threatened strike by $4,000 CIO
workers against the United
States Rubber Co. was postponed
two hours before the deadline,
and negotiations on a new con-
tract continue today.
Members of the CLIO Rubber
Workers Union, whose contract
expired last midnight, will con-
tinue working on a day-to-day
basis under provisions of the old
contract in 10 United States
Rubber plants in the Nation, a
company spokesman announced.
The spokesman said the COM
pany had agreed to a union re-
quest for this arrangement. He
added that the union in return
agreed last night to postpone
the threatened strike in pay
dispute.
A union source said yesterday
the company's fastest offer was
an increase Of five cents an hour.
Current wages average about
$2.08 an hour. The union has
said it seeks substantial" pay
increases, but it has not made
public the amount.
A strike by United States Rub
Der Co. employees would have
been the second in the tire in
dustry's big four" this month.

Unemployment Rolls
SweIIed 10 $4,000
By June Graduates

June graduates added to Dis
trict unemployment rolls here
last month, swelling the number
of jobseekers to $4,000.
Employment dropped by 400
jobs between May and June, the
United States Employment Serv-
ice for the District of Columbia
said. The figures show that
598, 900 persons were working in
non-agricultural jobs in June.
400 less than in May and 10000
less than were employed in June,
1853. NJ
Seasonal activities, such as
construction and service work,
operated at a high level in June
but were still below the levels of
last summer. The peak of en-
ployment in the construction in
dustry, traditionally occurring in
May or June, will probably occur
in September or october, the
USES said. asp As.s
The increase in u1employ-
ment of $500 persons between
May and June was attributed
mostly to high school and col
lege graduates who began job
seeking.
The Employment Service said
unemployment usually increases
in the summer and begins to de-
cline in the fall.
Biggest drop in employment
between May and June was in
the Federal Government where
LOO fewer workers were re-
ported in the one-month period.
Federal employment was 17,700
less in June than at the same
time a year ago, construction
jobs were $500 fewer than in
June, 1858, and retail trade en-
ployment was down 400 jobs
from the June, 1858, figure.

Mr.. Greene ran up the banner

The chrome pennies idea was
to dramatic a protest against
the city's new S per cent amuse-

complained bitterly that the levy
may well ruin smaller movie
houses.
So Mr.. Greene had $4,000
pennies plated with chrome.
Twenty-four thousand were
passed out in change at his box
Office window and by co-opera-
tive merchants.
Mr.. Greene set up a 3-foot

Citation Of II on
Contempt Charges
BY the Associated Press

The House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee today named
II persons it wants cited for con-
tempt of Congress for refusing
to answer questions concerning
alleged Communist ties.
Chairman Velde said the COM
mittee decided unanimously to
recommend to the House Thurs
day that it vote the citations.
They would be based on testi-
mony at hearings here, on the
West Coast and in Michigan.
Eight of the II were witnesses
at Michigan hearings conducted
in May by a subcommittee head
ed by Representative Clardy, Re-
publican, of Michigan. Five.
Bolza Baxter, Benjamin F. Kocel,
Curtis Davis, Evelyn Gladstone
and DR.. Paul Ross Baker, testi-
fled in Detroit.
DR.. Horace Chandler Davis,
another named by the commit
tee, appeared at a. hearing in
Lansing, and Marvin Engel and
Martin Trachtenberg in Flint.
West Coast Group.
Recommended for contempt
on the basis of testimony at the
West Coast hearings were Carl
Harvey Jackins and George Tony
Starkoyitch, who appeared be-
fore subcommittee in Seattle;
Thomas F. Moore, John Rogers
Mackenzie, Donald M. Wollam
and Herbert Simpson, who testi-
fed in Portland, Greg, and Rich
ard E. Adams, a witness at San
Diego.
Lloyd Barenblatt and Mrs.
Mile Markison were proposed
for contempt on the basis of
testimony given the committee
here.
Mr.. Velde said the II either
failed to invoke the fifth
amendment in refusing to
answer questions or did it i'm
properly
The fifth amendment says
no one may be forced to give
self-incriminating testimony
and has been held a valid rea-
son for failing to answer ques-
tons in court and before con-
gressional committees.
. Silent About Others.
In several instances, Mr.. Velde
said, the witnesses testified
freely regarding their own Com
munist associations but remained
silent when asked about other
persons.
If voted by the House, the
contempt citations would go to
the Justice Department for
prosecution. Conviction carries
a maximum sentence of a year
in prison and a $1,000 fine.
