following: Enrolled 35 new
members with $31, 400 life in
surance, including: 9 Term
certificates, 5 20-Pay Life,
and 21 20-Year Endowments.
The Junior Order De-
partment credits him with
381 points. His grand total,
therefore, is 1877 points as
of November 1st.
Before proclaiming brother
Balich as an Honorary Dele
gate, we furnished him with
a list showing the names of
all new members enrolled by
him, death benefit increases,
transfers from the old to the
new disability plan, ETC., to-
gether with the number of
points credited to him, so
that he could check his rec
ords against those of the Su-
preme Office.
In his reply, brother Balich
said: "I received your kind
letter with the enclosed list
of adult and juvenile men,
bers to my credit, for which
I thank you. I think this is
the best possible proof that
you follow and recognize my
work. Be assured that I will
not stop working, even
though I already have the
necessary $50 points"
Cleveland Makes Good
/ In proof of the sincerity
Of brother Balich's promise to
continue his good work, we
are happy to be able to say
that, as of the writing of this
article, he has a total of 8O5
points to his credit.

the contestant to reach his
goal.
just prior to the closing
Of the Zajednicar last
week, the Director of the
Junior Order Department
and Secretary of the Cam
paign Committee, brother
Michael Grasha, received
from George Balich, Secre-
tary of Lodge 288 in Indi-
ana Harbor, Indiana, three
applications for COY ear
En- d O w m e n t s of 81, 900
each in the Junior Order.
Until then, brother Balich
had 742 points, but these
three applications boosted his
total by As points, and, &C
cordingly, our Editors were
able to announce brother
George Balich in last weeks
publication as the first Hon
orary Delegate to the Ninth
Convention, to be held in
Philadelphia in September of
next year.
What Bro. Balich Did
Here is a short review of
how brother Balich achieved
his success:
Enrolled 10 adult members
with a total of $4,000 life
insurance; increased death
benefits for 4 members, by a
total of $4,000; transferred
A members of his lodge
from the old to the new plan
of disability; and insured two
old members on sick and dis
ability benefits, which cover.
age they did not previously
carry.
This netted a credit of 4O6
points in the adult member
ship.
In the Junior Order, broth.

NationaIists Doubt
Red Boast on Quemoy
BY the Asseeiaied Press

TAIPEH, Formosa, Oct. 3
(Sunday) Nationalist military
officials yesterday refused to take
seriously Red China broadcasts
that the Communists would
capture Quemoy by October IS,
but they did concede the Reds
"are preparing for something. +"
That something" may be an
invasion of the Nationalist held
Tachen Islands a few miles of
the mainland and 200 miles
north of Formosa.
A Nationalist military spokes-
man said yesterday that Red
planes are scouting along the
coast of Chekiang Province, op-
posite the Taehens. Red truck
movements have been spotted on
small islands they occupy near
the Tachens.
Communist loudspeakers on
nearby islands are blaring that
the Reds will occupy Quemoy by
October Is, but a Nationalist
spokesman said the same claim
was made for September II, but
the Reds didn't carry it out.

they will set another date" q

2SquirreI Hunters
Killed by Train at
Fairfax CROSSING

Two squirrel hunters were
killed yesterday when their small
truck was hit by a Southern
Railway passenger train at a
Fairfax County grade crossing.
Welbie J. Redmon, So. OF
Route 7. Springfield. died in
stantly in the crash. Thomas
Grimsley. 81, of Route S. Spring
field, died about an hour later in
Alexandria Hospital.
The crash occurred at an un-
guarded crossing connecting dirt
roads on either side of the
tracks just west of Springfield.
Fairfax County police said the
crossing was private one used
by the railroad to take small
hand cars on and of OF the
main tracks, and park them on
a nearby siding.
Set Brakes Too Late.
Engineer Russell L. Craig. ST,
of 104 Adams avenue, Alexan-
dria, told police he had just
rounded a long curve when he
saw the small truck stopped on
the tracks about 400 feet ahead
Police said he estimated the
train was travelling about SIS
miles per hour.
Mr.. Craig set the brakes, but
it was too late, police said. The
train smashed into the side OF
the truck scattering wreckage
for a quarter mile along the
tracks.
Fairfax Police Pvt. Franklin
Angelo said the engineer saw nc
signs of anyone trying to get
out of the truck before the
crash. The wreckage of the 1881
truck was in such bad shape
police said they probably woule
never know If it had stalled OF
if the two huntsmen had paused
on the tracks to pick q route
into the woods, unaware of thu
train bearing down on them.
Shotgun Found in Wreck.
Mr.. Redmon, a printer anc

All Of Eastern Europe
Feels Food Shortage,
U. s. Officials Report
BY the A.seeiuisd Press

United States ofiicials reported
today that all Of Eastern Europe
Is suffering from severe food
shortage due in part to bad
weather but primarily to. COM
n1unist attempts to force farm
ing into q political straitjacket.
The food deficit has been
growing for several years and
the situation has now become so
bad that Communist leaders and
the Red press can no longer
ignore it. In fact. the United
States Information Agency came
up with evidence tonight that.
they are talking about it
throughout the satellite area.
Supplementing the USIA re-
port, officials said that the prob
lens reflected in calls by the
Communist leadership for great
er production. fulflllment Of as
signed quotas and the like
seemed to stem basically from
three causes:
/. Political control Of the
farmers. This includes forcing
them into collective farms, con-
stantly interfering with their
operations and selling their pro-
duce at harvest time for govern
ment purposes.
2. Herding people out Of the
rural regions into industrial
areas, a process of converting
peasants into workers in order
to step up factory output. In
the satellite countries this is part
Of the process Of industrializa-
ton which goes on also in the
Soviet Union. In the satellite
countries it is not q question OF
local needs or goals, but one OF
production demands from Mos
COW.
8. Weather conditions have
been bad for the last three years.
with much drought adding to
political harassment Of the
farmers.
Ofncials said the shortage is
severe, but Is not considered Of
famine proportions. They spec
ulated that as a continuing prob
lem it may be responsible in
some degree for emphasis of the
Communist bloc on better rela-
tions with the West and greater
need for trade.
