Hearing SideIights

Eagle-eyed television watch
ers long since have Spied a tele-
phone in the hearing room. For
the last week people from all
over the country. displeased with
the conduct of the hearings, have
been calling up the caucus room
and demanding to speak with
either the Senators or the prin-
cipalS.
From hearing her name called
by members of the committee.
sharp-eared watchers have
picked up the name of Mrs. Ruth
Watt, chief clerk of the McCar-
thy committee. Calls have been
received on the phone from such
distant points as San Francisco
and Texas. One man who seemed
to have no views about the con-
troversy does have a very strong
prejudice against working
women. He called up Mrs. Watt
to tell her so.
The Capitol operators are try
ing hard to screen the calls to
keep the caucus room line free
for the transmission of such in
formation as impending Senate
roll calls.

Once again the Senator's all
voiced their anxiety to "expe-
dite" the hearings. They spent
most of the morning session
"expediting."
Senator Potter said Smilingly

plow we will have to go through
to the bitter end"
Senator Mcclellan Joined in the
discussion and emphasized that
as far as the Democratic men,
berS are concerned no considera-
ton has been given to limiting
the testimony to Mr.. Stevens and
Senator Mccarthy.
"We owe it to the American
people," Senator Symington de-
clared, that these hearings
should go to the end so the Amer
lean people will know the truth"
Senator Jackson said the
Democrats wanted to cooperate
in expediting the hearings.
The Washington Senator re-
viewed the charges and counter
charges and, as Senator McClel-
Ian had, described them as seri-
Gus. One, Senator Jackson
pointed out, involves the Army
accusation that the power of
the subcommittee was used by
Mr.. Cohn and to some extent by
Senator Mccarthy to gain pref
erential treatment for Pvt. G.
David Schine, former subcom-
mittee consultant. Along with
this, he added, was the added
charge that Mr.. Cohn threat
ended "to wreck" the Army.
On the other side, Senator
Jackson pointed out, was the Nc
Carthy charge that Mr.. Stevens
and John G. Adams, Army coun-
sci tried to "blackmail" them
into stopping their investigation
of alleged Communists in the
Army.
Stresses Seriousness.
"I invite your attention to
the fact that blackmail is a
felony punishable by a peni-
tentiary sentence" Senator
Jackson said. An additional
serious charge, Senator Jackson
SAID. was the Mccarthy accu-
sation that Mr.. Stevens and
Mr.. Adams sought to divert the
investigation from the Army to
the Air Force and the Navy.
"If this investigation is ter
minated now," Senator jackson
said, there will be many ques-
tions of truth and veracity COM
pletely unresolved."
Senators Potter of Michigan
and Dworshak of Idaho, both
Republicans, urged steps to ex-
pedlte the hearings.
This seems to be the morning
for testimonials" Senator Pot
ter said, Il should like to add
mine"
He deplored the fact that the
Geneva conference on Far East
ern problems was not receiving
the attention it deserved because
of the investigation and added:
'It is difficult for me to see
that testimony of Mr.. Cohn and
Mr.. Carr can add anything to
what Senator Mccarthy can
give"
DwOrshak Urges Finish.
Senator Dworshak, who took
Senator McCarthy's place on the
subcommittee, saying there was
much more important business
to attend to, declared that the
Overwhelming sentiment of the
American people is to terminate
these hearings as quickly as
possible"
AS testimony resumed, Senator
Mccarthy challenged Mr.. Ste
vens' assertion that so far as
I know now" none of the 35 Sc
curity risks at Fort Monmouth
was Communist or had pleaded
the fifth amendment.
When the Senator attempted
to cite the case of q Ruth Levine.

Second Annual Gary Summer School To

Nest 10 Youngsters Urged To Register
For Unique Classes On Friday, July 9th
BY Pauline r. Stotz Nest 10 Manager

Gary, Ind. - The Second
Annual Summer School ses-
sion of Junior Nest 10 will
get under way on Monday,
July -, at 1000 AM, at the
spacious Croatian Center, To-
Gated at 3673 Broadway.
Still high in the clouds and
flushed with the overwhelm-
ing success Of our summer
school last year, we are again
making extensive plans to
continue the project which
proved so popular with our
youngsters in this area.
We here in Gary realize
the fact that vacation days,
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-07

of young ladies from the New
Brighton Kolo Group, will
take to the stage to execute
some of the more difficult
kolo numbers.
We are fortunate, also, in
having obtained the services
of a young miss, Nevenka U.s.
mian, the daughter Of Andrew
and Bepine Usmian, who re-
Gently came to this country.
Nevenka obtained her educa-
ton in Zagreb and will give
us several accordion rendi-
tions and, at the same time,
sing a few of our old time
favorites from the Old Coun-
try.
Along with these attrac-
tions we will have plenty of
hot barbecued lamb and cool
ing beverages to satisfy you
in every way.
Join us, won't you, friends
anl members throughout this
Tri-State Area, in commemo-
rating the Diamond Jubilee of
our great Croatian Fraternal
Union. Our welcome hand is
extended to all Croatians,
Serbs and Slovenes on Sun
day, July 18th.

although eagerly awaited at
the beginning, can later be-
come rather monotonous and
many youngsters find them
selves at loose ends a few
short weeks after the regular
schools have expelled their
charges for another semester.
Also, we feel that this val
liable time can be utilized,
and pleasantly so, in interest
ing studies which do not fall
in the regular curriculum of
our schools, subjects which
are taught in the interests of
perpetuating our Croatian
music and culture.
This year, again, our sche-
dule includes sessions in kolo
and folk dancing, art and
handicraft. We hope to make
all these classes enjoyable,
instructive and pleasant to
all students.

Sister Woss was a featured
dancer with this world re-
nowned ensemble throughout
her term in Duquesne Uni

Registration of students
will take place on Friday,
July 9th, between 1000 and

We are certain that young

will be proud of their accomp-
lishments as they learn new
steps in the kolo classes, and
bring home works of art from
the other classes.
We hope the registration
lines will be long and enthusi-

we again begin our annual

Won't you have your young
sters on hand between the
specified time, as we again
set the pattern for an inter-
esting summer for the kiddies

G days shall be required be-
fore any benefits are paid.
Such benefits shall amount to
$4,000 per month and shall
not exceed 3 months for any
one illness.
A member who is required
to be confined in an accredi-
ted hospital for at least "a
hours as the result of an in
jury, or illness, shall be paid
at double the regular month
ly benefit commencing with
the first day of confinement,
but such benefits shall not ex-
ceed a period of 80 days -
the result of any one injury
or illness.
For further clarificaAion,
this simply means that if you
go to a hospital and must re-
main in the hospital moro
than "a hours, the benefits
will be doubled for each day
you are in the hospital for q
period not to exceed 80 days.
For example: if a member
was in the hospital for 60
days, he would be entitled to
$4,000 for the first 30 days
and $4,000 for the next 30
days, or a total of $4,000.
Pregnancy, Childbirth
If a married female suffers
from illness as the result of
childbirth after % weeks of
pregnancy, and such child
birth occurs after the certifi-
cate has been in force more
than 10 months, payment of
$4,000 will be made.
Such payment shall BE-
made on the basis of $500
to the insured member and
$500 credit to the child
when it becomes enrolled In
the Junior Order on any per-
manent plan of insurance.
Such benefit shall apply for
each child in the case of null
tiple births.
If, following a period Of
total disability, the member
resumes his regular occupa-
ton and performs all impor-
tant duties for six months or
more, any subsequent disabi-
lity from the same cause shall
be considered as a new dis
ability; but if. the member
resumes his regular occupa-
ton and the period is less
than 6 months, any subse-
quent disability shall be re-
garded as a continuation Of
the preceding disability.
Exceptions Are Noted
This new plan will not COW
er any loss whatsoever for
the following:
.(a) while in military or na-
val service.
(b) contracted outside the
continental limits of the u. S.
or Canada.
(c) resulting from inten-

Membership Campaign Secretary Feels
Lodges Of Equal Membership Strength
Should Vote For Convention Delegates
Smaller Subordinate AffiIiates Rarely
Make Difficult Convention Grade Under
Prevailing Setup In Society's Bylaws
BY Michael Grasha, Membership Campaign Secretary
Pittsburgh, Pa. - We have oft stated that CFU
of the few fraterna benefit societies which still de-
pends solely voluntary recruiting for it's perpetuaton
and yes, it's steady, not spectacular expansion.
We do not possess do want to, paid force of
agents. fiedmen whatever they may be called As long


March 81, 1855, will be the
basis for representation.
Gary, Detroit Battle
Perusing the list again, we
see that Lodges 300 and II
need but 2 members apiece.
Then we have Lodge $50
which needs 3, quite a few
that need 4 members and on
down to Lodge 20, which
needs Al, but that need not
be beyond reach.
Some nine months remain
to the deadline, but why wait
until the very last moment? !?
Why not make sure now,
within the span of the Cam
paign? If only a few more
members are needed, make
sure that a few extras are en-
rolled to offset any last min
ute losses.
Our two giants, Lodges 10
of Gary and 351 Of Detroit
are still engaged in = friendly
rivalry for the honored posi-
ton of 1st in membership. At
the end of May, Lodge 10
had edged It's opponent out
Of that coveted place and
claimed 1161 members, while
351 could count only 1149.
There Is no reason why, by
March 81, of next year both
$ h 0 uldn't be numerically
strong enough to command
six delegate votes.
At this time we want to
broach a subject which is, no
doubt, already being dis
cussed on the grass roots
plane. That is of course the
combining of lodges which do
not have the minimum num-
ber of members for even one
delegate. In that case, they
are paired off with other such
lodges.
It has been standard oper-
ating procedure to keep the
combination down to as close
to 200 members as possible,
with the result that invari-
ably a lodge of $50 members
was matched against one of
so. It is evident that the
smaller one would have little
likelihood of ever sending a
representative to a conven-
ton.
Larger Lodges Secure
This system also tends to
instill little, if any, enrolment
zeal, for the larger lodge feels
secure while the smaller one
is prone to resign itself to
defeat.
We are Of the opinion,
shared by others at : head
quarters, that = lodge Of $50
members or more should be
paired off with one of equal
size 50 that all units of q
combination will have an
equal chance. Furthermore,

uary 1, 1854, this modern
protection is so far reaching
in it's scope of coverage that
we herewith explain it's main
features in detail for the edi-
fication of our Lodge Off
GERS, Campaign Workers, and
Members.
To begin with, the plan
provides benefits for loss OF
time as the result of acciden.
tai bodily injuries and for loss
of time caused by illness.
In other words, a person
must be a wage Garner (male
or female) if such person. is
to be insured and collect ben.
efits under this plan as the
result of loss Of time caused
by an accident or illness.
Covers Flying Hazards
Any loss of time which is
sustained as the result of an
accidental bodily injury, ben.
efits for such loss shall be
payable from the first day.
Any loss of time which is
sustained as the result of ar
illness, benefits for such loss
shall be payable only after
the certificate has been ir
force at least 30 days after
the date of issue.
To further explain this pro-
vision, a member cannot
claim any benefits for loss Of
time as the result of an ill
ness during the first 30 days
the certificate is in force.
This insurance covers such
injury if caused by any o1
the hazards of aviation, but
only while the insured is rid
ing as a fare paying passen'
ger in a licensed passenger
plane provided by an incor
porated common carrier o.
passengers and operated by
a licensed transport pilot be-
tween definitely established
airports.
If a member becomes to-
tally disabled as the result Of
an accident, he shall be en-
titled to benefits beginning
with the first treatment by
licensed physician or surgeon
Such benefits shall amount tt
$4,000 per month and shal
not exceed 3 months for any
one injury. A month shall
mean a period of 80 days.
Re: Hospital COyerage
If a member becomes in
jured, but is not disabled
benefits will be paid for th'
expense actually incurred W
to $25.00 if such injury re
quires treatment within O.
hours by a licensed physician
surgeon, osteopath or chiro
practor, and providing nj
other benefits are received b,
the member for such injury
If a member becomes to
tally disabled as the result O
an illness, he is entitled t,
benefits on the 9Th day aftel
the first treatment by a Ii
censed physician or surgeon
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-07

as there is one spark of that
unadorned fire of true frater-
nalism within our ranks we
shall remain on that basis,
accepting and practicing the
postulates of brotherhood in
our fraternal home.
This is not to gainsay the
other incentives that encour-
age and motivate our jealous
army of volunteer recruiters.
Love of organization shall al
ways remain the most potent
driving force, but it can, is,
xnd ,Should be supplemented
~ fOther stimuli. Monetary
compensation for each new
member is now at the high
est point in our six decades
Of operation. It reaches the
sum of SIS for $1,000 of new
ly written Endowment COW
erage.
Added to these two very
attractive motives, we have
a very special one this year.
That is, of course, the goal
of $50 points for an Honorary
Delegateship to the 9th CFU
Convention to be held in Phil
adelphia in September OF
1855.
This very liberal award is
three phased. There is, of
course, the honor Of achieve
ment, which will be rewarded
by appropriate recognition at
the Convention. Then there is
the right to $4,000 in cash
Zone dollar for every cam
paign point earned). Over and
above all this, the victor will
be entitled to his round trip
fare. to the Convention city,
plus three per diems.
Many Stand To Profit
We come now to another
special incentive which should
be manifested this year.
It should affect all lodges
and the entire membership,
but concerns particularly the
list of affiliates which is
printed at the end of this ar
ticle. The list names those
lodges which are within fifty
or less members short of be-
ing entitled to another con-
yention delegate.
It should be the unfaltering
aim Of every member Of these
units to enroll those necessa-
ry recruits which will entitle
them to another representa-
tive at the convention. The
attainment of that goal will
rebound to the honor of ev-
cry single member, to the
honor of the lodge and, yes,
to the honor of the entire or
ganization.
Keeping in mind that for
every 200 members, a lodge is
entitled to one delegate, it
follows also that being shy
Just one, it loses the right to
elect a delegate by itself. Re-
member that the membership
