SOClSly together Will OAoIiiSl
F. Brkich from the Supreme
Office at Pittsburgh.
For me, it was the first
time in seven years that |
found myself among our
members at one of the func-
tions of our Canadian lodges.
Except for a very few young
er members who come to our
bowling tournaments in the
States regularly, and a few
older members who were del
egates at our past conven-
tions, l did not know very
many members of our organi-
zation from that section of
Canada.
For that reason, this vi
sit to Canada had. for me,
a special significance, for it
gave me the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with
many active. m m bers
whom. until now, | knew
by name only.
In my conversations with
them, I gained much useful
information on their lodge
work and life in general,
which is of inestimable value
to me in the position which |
hold.
Very Pleasant Surprise
Until now, l always be-
lieved, according to the gen.
eral preconception, that our
Canadian members are at
least thirty years younger
than we in the States, and
that, accordingly, their views
and attitudes in the social
field were behind those Of our
lodges and colonies in Amer
ica.
However, was given a
very pleasant surprise, for
Ihad the opportunity of be-
ing convinced that our Ca
nadians are not i'm the least
behind us in America, that
they have just as healthy
an outlook upon the pur-
pose and objects Of the
CrOatian Fraternal Union,
and that they take part in
all the branches and phases
of our work with the same,
if not greater, fervor and
love, as has been evidenced
through these many years
by their achievements in
past campaigns.
In talking with our older
members, many of whom in
past years, and in many in
stances even today, held va
rious lodge offices, | realized
that they, too, have as their
greatest problem, fin d in 6
methods of binding their
younger-generation members
close to the Croatian Frater-
nal Union and everything
that it represents to our peo-
pie in Canada. We agreed that
the promotion of sports es-
pecially among our young
members. is one of the strong
est conditions for success in
the lodge field of endeavor.
In the bowling alleys, no
one asks to which political
group one belongs, when he
came to Canada, whether or
not he is a Canadian citizen,
but the one and only question
is, how good a bowler is he,
and what is his score.
Native Tongue Popular
l reveled in watching our
young members from the time
the first ball was rolled Fri
day evening, April 22nd, in
the Central Bowling Alleys,
right to the finish of the tour
nament something past five
o'clock in the afternoon of
Saturday.
l heard the Croatian Ian
guage spoken much more fire.
quently by our young people
in Canada than is done here

were heard attentively. We
spoke briefly on the prob
lens confronting the Uni
on, and particularly as
these problems affect our
Canadian membership.
We have already under
scored the value of such actl-
vities as bowling tournaments
for the progress of our Union.
We brought back with us to
Pittsburgh t h e impression
that our members were salts
fled that the Supreme Office
was represented by three ex-
ecutive officers, while on our
behalf, l can truthfully say
that we were more than salts
fled with the reception and
the respect accorded us by
our Canadian members.
Brief Stop In Welland
The leaders of our lodges
! in Welland, being unable to
attend the tournament and
banquet because of a wedding
in their lodge and hall, sent
their message Of greetings by
their bowlers, with the invi-
tation that we stop in Wei
| land on our return trip to
Pittsburgh.
The next day, Sunday af-
ternoon, my wife and | came
to Welland for the first time,
where we were met by our
tried and true fraternalists.
| We were entertained in
brother Joseph HrbOlich's
home, where we met broth
ers Joseph Gaspic, Frank
karol, Paul Bursic and
Frank Jurcic, as we'll as
our Alternate Member Of
the Supreme Trial Board,
brother Matt Janjac and
former member Of the Su-
preme Trial Board, brother
George Canjar.
The latter two, in company
of others, took us to the Gro
attain Home, where we inspec.
ted the place where all of the
lodge business and social life
of our Croatian people in Wei
land takes place. Our mem
bers in Welland and all our
Croatian immigrants in that
city, have cause to be proud
of their Croatian Home. We
stopped for a short time at
Bro t h er George Canjar's s
home, and then in brother
Matt Janjac's home where we
were received most hospita
bly,, from where we took leave
for our return trip home, late
in the evening.
Thankful To Everyone
In my own name and thai
of my wife, many thanks t
our members in Welland fol
their fine hospitality. We sin
cerely hope to visit then
again in the not too distant
future.
The details of the bowl
ing tournament, the names
of the champions and the
individual scores, will all be
reported in a later issue of
the Zajednicar by the bowl
ing tourney committee.
| To our members in Hamil
ton, and all the bowlers anc
friends from Toronto, like
wise our thanks for theil
friendly reception and cour
tesies shown us. Our stay
there was very pleasant, but
much too short, so we lool
forward eagerly to the mex
opportunity to meet then
again in connection with oul

good of our Canadian mem

San Froncisco's Cow Palace
Was Constructed Under WPA

The Cow Palace in San Fran
cisco, selected by the Republi-
cans for their 1856 national con-
vention. is a gigantic Quonset
Hut which can seat 10000 per-
sons and provide standing room
for 1000 more.
The building is owned by the
State of California and admin
istered by an agency known as
Agricultural District la. The
construction Of the enormous
building was first proposed by
wealthy San Francisco citizens
who owned stock farms and
wanted a place to show stock in
formal competition. But the
construction actually got under
way as part of a WPA make
work program in the days of the
depression, with the Federal
Government. the State, and San
Francisco making contributions
to the building fund.
Its distinctive name grew out
of a newspaper story. A writer
commented, after an inspection
of the sprawling building,
While people are being evicted
from their homes, a palace is
being built for cows" The head
line over the story merely said:
Cow Palace" The name stuck.
Now the title is emblazoned on
the front of the building in
letters so feet high.
Will Meet Aug. 20.
The Republicans have picked
August 20, 1856, for their conven-
ton to nominate the party's
candidates for President and
Vice President, and to write the
party platform.
The Democrats will hold their
convention in Chicago, starting
either on July % or August 10.
The Cow Palace is suitable for
practically any type of show

Lower Bidder Hits
Plans 10 Let Contract

District plans to award con-
tract for more than 600 street
lamp posts to the Line Material
Co. of Milwaukee, Wis, were
opposed yesterday before the
Commissioners by competitors
who had filed a bid $1,000 lower.
D. w. Dram, speaking for the
Kerringan Iron Works, Inc, of
Nashville, Tenn, charged speci-
fications for the posts had been
written around one company
to call for fluted poles, without
allowing consideration of the
octagonal posts made by his
company.
He declared that of seven bid
ders, the Line Material Co. and
five others offered to sell the
District poles made by the Union
Metal Manufacturing Co. Of
Canton. Ohio. This, he said, is
the only company that makes
the fluted steel poles.
His company, Mr.. Dram said,
bid $41.000 for the contract,
compared to $47,895 by Line
Material Co.
District officials, however,
pointed out there are other dis
crepancies between the contract
specifications and the Kerrigan
bid, including those covering
financing and delivery.
The Commissioners ordered a
study of whether the District
should authorize a change in
design for the poles.

Counsel for Is Reds
Questions Truth Of
Conn., Testimony
BY the Assoeiatsd Pres.

NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-Harry
Sacher, counsel for Is convicted
Communists, says he is mot per-
suaded" that Roy M. Cohn has
told the truth concerning turn
about witness Harvey M. Matu-
SOW.
Mr.. Cohn, former assistant
United States attorney who
worked on the case against the
10 second-string Red leaders,
and Mr.. Sacher clashed yester-
day at a retrial hearing which
resumes today.
Mr.. Cohn, from the witness
stand. hotly replied to Mr..
Sacher's contention: Every
thing I have said here has been
the truth"
The Is Communists, con-
victed in 1852 of conspiring to
teach and advocate overthrow of
the Government by force and
violence. base their plea for a
retrial on Matusow's assertion
that he testified falsely against
them.
Mr.. Sacher, after questioning
Mr.. Cohn about briefs which the
latter handled in connection with
Matusow, said:
If I were persuaded that this
witness is testifying truthfully,
and I don't think he is, these
questions wouldn't be necessary.
II am not persuaded that the
witness is telling the truth. He
must have seen every piece of
paper relating to the Com
muniSt case"
Mr.. Sacher charged that the
absence from the briefs of whole
ideas and testimony would
indicate that he (Cohn) had an
indifference to the matter of
Matusow's testimony"
Matusow. Self-styled former
Communist and FBI informer,
has said Mr.. Cohn coached him
to testify falsely, a charge which
Mr.. Cohn has denied emphati-
cally.
Mr.. Cohn also has said he had
no reason to believe Matusow
lied at the trial

One of the most intense de-
bates in United States military
and congressional history is now
going on in secret and will soon
break out in committee hear
ings.
At issue is the Nays 81 bill
lion program to build fives"super"
carriers. the biggest, most ex-
pensive warships ever known.
Is this 60,000-ton $20S million
super" the spy-free. floating
airbase that can strike a sur
prise atom blow from the oceans
murk and then disappear?
Or is it an outmoded relic of
q dead age when navies were
both the first defense line and
the arms for long-range attack?
These are the questions which
will soon break out in public.
Like the B-36 fight of 1949 it
is a Navy VS.. Air Force dispute.
Each has its top advocates: For
the Navy, Representative Carl
Vinson, Democrat. Georgia, House
Armed Services Committee chair
man and defender of the
''supers"; for the Air Force, Rep
resentative Clarence Cannon,
Democrat, Missouri, House APP
preparations Committee chairman
and contender that whatever
carrier air can do, land air bases
can do better, cheaper and with
out being sunk.
Hearings Start Soon.
Mr.. Vinson will hold open
hearings on the debate soon.
Then these arguments will be-
come public:
From the anti-supercarrier
forces
First, enemy mines restrict
carriers to deep waters and thus,
in the case of war with Russia,
leave only one-fifth of the
USSR's territory within the
1,000-mile radius of sea-
launched attack bombers.
Second, the old World War II
threat of submarine and conven-
tional air attack requires that
carrier forces be concentrated
so protecting destroyers, cruisers
and planes overhead can guard
them.
Third, that same close-knit
formation is just what an enemy
wants for a radar-guided, high
level attack with atomic or
hydrogen bombs.
