ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-10-20

Here, where the diversified
ton of Croats is at its max
imum, a fusion of spirit took
place. Men whose ancestry
traces back TO nearly every
town and village of Croatia,
men who individually earn
their livelihood in a wide
variety of trades and profess
sions, men whose background
of education and experience is
as diverse as their places of
origin, men whose political,
social and religious beliefs
vary widely, in short, men
of a heterogeneous mass
used their differences in a
common effort.
No Pat, Easy Formula
By combining their many
talents their potential was
enormous, and though their
initial effort succeeded be-
yond their own expectation,
we must nevertheless hold
that it is but a start and their
greatest accomplishments arc
yet to be realized.
knowing full we'll that no
pat and easy formula for
continuity of effort exists,
that on the contrary it must
be slow and sometimes
painful process Of evolution,
it is to be ardently hoped for
that the flame that was lit
shall not be allowed to eX-
tinguish, but shall be nur-
tured to burn ever brighter
in the future.
Patience and wisdom in
extraordinary amounts shall
be required, as well as tre-
mendous unselfish efforts to
overcome the obstacles, the
disappointments, the setbacks
and the strangling hand of
apathy.
a Resounding Success
Reporting briefly on the
celebration itself, it will be
difficult not to overlook the
contributions of the many
whose efforts made it sue
cessful.
Though each one cannot
be mentioned by name to all
must go heartfelt thanks. No
need to tell you who were
there, but more to inform
those who were not present,
that it was magnificently
successful affair. I was plea
sanity surprised, and would
hardly believe it, had | not
witnessed it myself, that the
various Lodges could work SO
comparatively.
Many of our older men,
bcrs were equally surprised
that so much could be ac-
complished in so short a time.
Believe me, my fraternal
brothers and sisters, we not
only showed our own, but
amazed our friends of other
natjonalities W who doubted
that the South Chicago Gro
atian Fraternal Union Lodges
could ever work together in
unity, and especially those
who were familiar with our
activities over the past thirty
years.
We hope that in the flu
ture we can continue to pro.
vide additional pleasant sur.
prises for our friends and ac-
quaintances by even greater
unity and cooperation among
ourselves. If we work with
our great motto in mind, al
For One - One For All as
our guiding principle, we arc
bound to succeed.
Salute To Lodge 948

Night-running dogs work up routes
over which they range widely.
Usually such beast makes no
noise, and cuts on all clamor from its
victim.
To catch q squirrel in the daytime
is very difficult, either for dog or cat.
There could be little doubt about
the marauder being dog. A cat does
not work in this manner, seldom
catches q squirrel. and never eats but
a portion of it If it does.
Dog-caught rabbits always manage
to emit a. scream. one Of the saddest
sounds In nature.
Several poets have written Of this. in
sad strains: even the hardest human
heart is moved by this lament in the
night.

of any clumsy dog
It is not often that q dog manages
to pussy-foot onto a catch.
The cat for all his dexterity and
stealth, seldom catches a squirrel, or
rabbit; usually only very young ones.
The killer instinct in dogs is held
down by the daily life in the human
house, for dogs live more in such houses
than in dog houses" They live so
little in the latter that the very term
has come to mean something different.
The human habitation subdues the
dog, also the cat, and gives them q
bit Of the gleam which the home repre-
sents. At times it seems as II 1t civilizes
them more than it does some Of the
human residents. But civilization Is a
comparative thing, after all. We talk
about it, but actually we are at times
very far from it. Our glory Is that we
know this, and lament it Some day.

This and That .

The squirrels caught by the dog never
made a sound, evidently.
Mostly the night-runners are seen
by day as placid, easy-going beasts. No
wonder! They have sated themselves.
This reversion to raw nature is not
unusual. Some Of the best dogs do it,
If allowed to run, as they should not
be, because it ends by making them
into pure beasts.
One Of the best things about dogs is
that they have been civilized, as We
say; that is, some Of the pure beast
has been lost.
To allow them to train themselves
back into their primitive nature is not
good for them.
Sometimes such bad dogs kill each
other.
Many years ago we told the story
here Of the police dog that killed q
Boston terrier In the next block.
He could not pick UP the body, so
dragged it around the bend and along
the entire block.
This took place at about am.
There was no sound except the strange
scufing noise made by the dragging
body.
Suburban dogs love to run rabbits.
They seldom catch any.

Mr.. Hoover and His FBI

J. Edgar Hoover today is observing the
S0th anniversary of his appointment to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. 1t would not
be illogical to regard this also as the 30th an
niversary of the FBI itself. For it is no exag-
geration to say that the bureau, as an outStand-
ing law enforcement agency, dates from the
day that Mr. Hoover, not long out of law school,
took over control of the then obscure politically
saturated Justice Department bureau.
Actually the old Bureau of Investigation"
was created in 1908 largely to assist Federal
prosecutors in obtaining evidence in Indian
fraud and other minor cases. Two years later
the work Of the then tiny bureau was increased
by enactment of the Mann White Slave Act
More agents were taken on, unfortunately with
out careful selection. The bureau became a
target of political patronage. It was during the
pre-Hoover era that the late CASTOR Means
found it easy to become Federal agent. So
bad did matters become that Harlan Stone,
when he became Attorney General, decided to
clean up the mess Mr.. Stone had been favor
ably impressed with the energy and inteli-
gence Of young attorney on his staff who had
the appropriate nickname of Speed" Mr..
Stone gave the cleanup job to Speed" Hoover.
The bureau never has been the same since the
day Mr.. Hoover took charge.
Director Hoover soon had swept the bureau
clean of political hacks, ex-convictS and just
plain incompetents. He picked new agents
with extreme care from among college gradu
ates with law or accountancy degrees He
banished the third degree in favor of methodi-
cal, scientific investigation Of the type which
has made the FBI world famous He estab-
lished the greatest file of criminal fingerprintS
extant developed a chronological laboratory,
organized police training school and obtained
legal authorization for his agents to make ar
rests and carry guns Meanwhile he proved
the efficacy of his theories and methods in
case after case, while kidnapers, spies and other
major public enemies came to fear the
"G-men"
Through all the years Mr.. Hoover has
succeeded in keeping the FBI free from the
entanglements of politics-a phenomenal ac-
compliShment in itself. The politicians nova
days know and respect Mr.. Hoover's "hands-
of" rule against the patronage bosses and
pressure groups. He has been regularly re-
appointed by Presidents of both parties since
that May 10 in 1924 when Mr.. Stone, gave him
O tough job to do. Still young in appearance and
actions, j. Edgar Hoover can look forward to
many more years of the sort Of exemplary
public service which the public has come to
expect Of him. Indeed, it is hard to imagine
an FBI without J. Edgar Hoover in command.
May he have many more anniversaries as
director of the Nations chief law enforcement
agency.

had the GPO set UP the basement shop.
Mr.. Pearson was the first court
printer after the justices quit turning
out their work in longhand and went
in for printed opinions, and Mr.. Bright,
now dead, succeeded him in 1891.
Mr.. Bright operated with. exceeding
care, apportioning sections of every
opinion among several workmen, SO
none could detect the trend with any
degree of accuracy, and then setting
the conclusive paragraphs himself.
Often, some Of the old-time jurists
sat in his shop to scratch out their final
lines. when decision day was at hand
and they were pressed for time.
The single Intentional leak" that
was traced to the court occurred in
1897, when Wall Street got hold of tip

Sad Time for Termites

Human beings are not alone in having to
worry about scientific advances like the hydro

holder, with his ordinary ears, has ever heard
them eating away at the foundations OF his
home, smacking their lips in anticipation OF
the dessert awaiting them in the Kitchens
tinbers
This, of course, has been very nice for the
termites. Although they have had to cope with
determined humans seeking to expose them
with chisels and knives probing into the deli
cious woodwork, and although the professional
exterminators have caused them more than a
few headaches and fatalities they have enjoyed
a pretty good sense of security because of their
Unborn quietneSs. In that sense, all things
considered, they have had an even break In
matching their wits with man-an even break,
that is until the present moment. But now
alas, from their viewpoint-the entomology de-
partment Of the University of California has
developed gadget that bids fair to be their
undoing Poor things, they certainly seem to
have plenty Of reason to worry.
The gadget? 1t is tiny microphone so
sensitive that it detects the footballs of termite,
the crunch of food in their jaws and the "tom-
tom" sounds they make when they talk with
each other. The moment is a sad one for them.
Science, it seems, is on the verge Of destroying
the security they have hitherto enjoyed because
of their quietness. This is kind of wire
tapping that must strike them as an intolerable
and altogether menaeing invasion of their
privacy. But what can they do about it?
THEY'RE like humans with the H-bomb About
all they can do Is hope for the best.

advance the interests of the United
States but only the power Of one Joseph
Raymond Mccarthy.
It was brought to light that McCar-
thy protects the name of person who
secured confidential papers Of the Army
for the Senator's use. Would not that
person be one of the security risks and
potential traitors we hear him state
again and again he is uncovering for
the love of these great United States of

come.
The Army's attorney is obviously able
to exploit skillfully any advantage that
he may have. He has one that has
not yet been publicly recognized. He
has a secret weapon. If he decides to
use it. you can expect some fireworks.
AS we lawyers know. when an issue
arises whether person is to be believed
or not, any facts affecting his char
acter may be addueed in evidence. The
basic issue in this case is whether
Stevens or Mccarthy is entitled to be
believed.
All sorts of evidence as to the char
acter of either of them can therefore
be paraded before the committee and
before the national -television audience.
This has not hurt Stevens very much
because the facts demonstrating
whether or not he is liar and sneak
are not widely known nor easy to OBJ
tain.
But the mccarthyschines of the last
seven years have been performed on a
much more public stage. They are
easy to prove. They can best be brought
