Phyllis Farano
Avid Sports Fan

Milwaukee, Wise. - w e
would like to take this oppor-
tunity to acquaint our CFU
membership with a pretty
young lady who joined the
ranks of Junior Nest $50 back
in November 20, 1850, sister
Phyllis Farano.
Phyllis is the daughter of
Phillip and Mary Farano and
was born on May 20, 1910,
here in Milwaukee. She at
tended grade school here and
is now in Class 9 A at Lincoln
High School, a student study
ing the secretarial course.
Sister Farano is an active
young lady in the sports
field, having participated in
basketball, volley ball and
baseball. She sings in the Ca
pella Choir, mixing in with
older girls who will no doubt
give her the necessary assur-
ance which will be needed
when she is on her own.
Phyllis has an older sister,
Lucille, and both are very
pretty young ladies. Her
mother is an affiliate of our
"Vanguard' ES Lodge 8O7.
Best wishes to you, Phyllis,
in YOUR future endeavors and
keep up the good work.

In closing may we repeat
ourselves that too often in
our midst as in many others
the fraternal obligations fall
too often on just certain
families in a community. For
the purposes of a better knit
organization we welcome new
blood or even old blood that
has been on our lodge books
for years.

After some twenty-six an

writer has been associated in
this lodge, the term another

interpreted as one of derision.
Yet annual meetings should
be a gathering that members
should attend. They are the
springboard to a season of
renewed activity.
One never realizes how ma
ny angles, human interest and
otherwise, elude you when
you are not the financial Sec
retary. Yet no one person or
group of persons should serve
as lodge executives year af-
ter year. If they should then
the rest of the membership
begins to lose it's grip with
the lodge and soon interest
wanes.

was privileged to be one of
the first citadels of this move
ment back in 1915. To us
whether we are riding one of
the elephants or trduging by
in the dust, the Society has
been ever close to us. In time
we hope to contact by mail
or phone each Spirits house
hold for possible, and addi-
tional protection within the
Croatian Fraternal Uni o n
during this Junior aJubilee
Campaign. You can beat us
fto the punch by enrolling
your family members in the
'C.F.U. and wea promise to
make mention of this in the
next article.
There is an attachment to
belonging to a particular set
and so it is with at least those
of the long standing Spirits
members that we have come
in contact. Some have ex-
pressed the desire for a
Family Night. We appreci-
ate the sentiment and sug-
gest that it be given an air
ing at one of our monthly
meetings. Nothing can be ac-
complished if people absent
themselves in droves. Then,
too, we would suggest that
those who have the facility
of such a meeting place make
it available to the full extent
to lodge groups. In this CO.
existence atmosphere tn e
welkin would ring again in
the Rox.
In a more somber note we
announce the passing of the
late Tom Jurkovich, a retired
business man who died De-
cember 21st. He was a long

providing the music for the
occasion. Anne Loncarich,
Nest Manager, introduced the
various tap dancing, vocalists
and dance group artists as
they appeared on stage.
Turnout Is Surprising
Next in line for applause
were the talented members of
Nest 397, introduced by Man.
ager Joseph Stanovich. These
included piano soloists, vocal
lists, accordionists, guitarist
and tap ballet dancing spe-
cialists.
The performers of both
Nests put on a superb show
and were we'll received by the
crowd. Our thanks and ap-
probation go out to them and
their hard working teachers.
Just as soon as this phase
of our entertainment was
brought to a conclusion, those
in attendance were invited to
view a film put out by the
Coca Cola people, showing
how this beverage is made.
in return we received, gratius,
sixteen cases of this pop.
We're sorry that many of
yon did not obtain your bottle
but we were only allowed 384
bottles and we did not expect
such a large crowd. We are
grateful to the company for
both the pop and the film, as
the latter saved the evening
for us.
CFU's Film Hits Spot
AS the feature film was
being presented, the sound
portion failed on our hired
protector. The Coca Cola man
quickly came to our aid and
brought his into quick use,
thereby saving the evening
for us.
Needless to say our audi
ence was breathlessly enthu-
siastic over the showing Of
the CF'U film. This beautiful
colored film was we'll received
by the audience and all were
thrilled by bro. Brkich's su-
perb narration. We all agreed
after the show that it was
truly a wonderful project.
For the special occasion we
were pleased to have in our
midst two reporters from the
Hamilton Spectator and the
Daily News recording the
event for posterity. We thank
these two newspapers for the
grand writeups about our af-
fair and also for the pictures
with which they illustrated
the stories.
Unity Wonderful Thing
The successful outcome of
this event jointly sponsored
by the affiliates Of both CFU
Lodges and Nests in Hamil-
ton, proved beyond the sha-
dow of a doubt, that unity in
our midst brings friendly re-
suits. We sincerely hope that
the new year brings greater
understanding in our ranks
and that it will witness more
co-sponsored events such as
these.
In Hamilton in 1866, each
Lodge will celebrate a special
anniversary. In Hamilton in
1855, the Canadian Five-Pin
Bowling Tournament will be
held. Perhaps in Hamilton in
1855, the Nests of Southern
Ontario will band together to
celebrate the 10th Anniversa-
ry of the CFU Junior Order.

Senator Estes Kefauver said last
week he will enter the Nations first
presidential primary next year
the March Is contest in New Hamp-
shire-and also the April 3 Wis
consin primary. He limited that he
might enter the Florida primary if
he finds in a visit there this week
that his prospects look good.
The significance Of his statements
was this: He win be the first DEM
ocrat to get rousing primary vote.
as 1t is doubtful he will have any
serious competition in New Hamp-
shire. Adlai Stevenson has in
dicated he will not enter there. And
Senator Kefauver will probably
postpone his challenge of Mr.. Ste
venson until late in the spring.
The Senator apparently is losing
interest in Minnesota March 800
after talks with Minnesota politi-
cianS-almost all of whom are
pumping for Mr.. Stevenson. And
Mr.. Stevenson will not enter the
Wisconsin primary. It looked last
week as if the two front-runners
among the active candidates will
not meet until May 30 in Florida
or June 6 In California.

Foreign

When Congressman were called
to the White House two weeks ago
for preview of January's budget
requests. the brieflng team said
that foreign aid during the coming
fiscal year lending June 20, 1851
would cost slightly more than In
the current fiscal year.
Congressman leaving the meeting
told reporters foreign-aid appro-
priations would be around sat
billion.
But the Congressman either were
not listening, or Secretary Of State
John Foster Dulles and Secretary
of Defense Charles E. Wilson had
not made their points clear. For
what the group actually was told,
according to a White House spokes-
man last week, was this:
Foreign aid appropriations will be
somewhat increased next year in
accordance with present plans;
economic aid requests will be in
creased 5000 million to $40 billion,
military aid requests will be tripled
to 50 billion.
Expenditures, which probably will
total about SAL billion In the cur
rent fiscal year, will 60 up to about
$4.4 billion next year.

The World

Another hostile neighbor Of Is,
rael, the Hashemite Kingdom Of
Jordan. was torn by riots last week.
The issue: Should Jordan join the
Western oriented Middle East
Treaty Organization?
The British had all but persuaded
King Hussein to join when Arab
League sympathizers tried to
change his nina by staging dem
onStrations. The King decided to
hold an election. Meanwhile, the
southern Arab states of Saudi
Arabia and Egypt are offering a
Little Four-Point" program to
Jordan to help persuade the coun-
try to stay out of METO.
In Algeria, nationalists unhappy
with French statehood clashed with
French Army units. About 80 per-
sons died. The Algerians had their
eye on Frances elections, scheduled
for the day after New Years.
In Europe NATO's anti Commu-
mist defenses we're being bolstered,
washington announced by more
modern weapons. including six
United States Army field artillery
battalions with atomic warhead-
equipped Corporal guided missile.
These units will significantly aug
n1ent the NATO ability to stand of
any Red ground invasion threat. For
instance, three or four barrapes from

Germany could completely devas-
tate a swath across the traditional

parties went to the polls last Sun
day and once more made clear their
preference for eventual Anschluss
with West Germany.

POLITICS
Luusche's Decision
To Run for Senute
Sparks Relaxed Week

Politicians apparently were as
busy with holiday preparations as
was the average citizen, for there
was comparative lull on the polit-
ical front last week.
The most significant news was
the announcement by Democratic
Gov. Frank ]. Lausche Of Ohio
that he will run for the Senate
next year. His move gives the
Democrats a good chance to pick
up new Senate seat, as MIR.
Lausche Is the best. most con-
sistent vote-getter the Buckeye

failed to add the military and
economic appropriation figures and
failed to distinguish between APP
preparations and expenditures. (The
appropriation is what Congress au-
thorizes to spend, though it may
not be spent for several years; the
expenditure is what actually is
paid out. some of it for debts con-
tracted several years previously
In the current year spending has
been high, but the appropriation
was low. The difference was made
up by dipping into a reserve of past
appropriations. Next year, the ex-
ecutive feels, the reserve will be
too low. so it will request a large
appropriation to replenish the
supply.
Here is the appropriation and ex-
penditure total since fiscal year
1850 and the administration pro-
posal for fiscal 81 in millions:

1t all seemed to add up to just
another mixup over Technology.
But Mr.. Dulles put foreign aid into
another light during a press con-
ference Tuesday. He said:
Both the economic aid and the
military aid will need to go on for
a considerable p2riod of time at
about the present level"
Is 1t Here to Stoy?
This indicated that instead Of
gradually liquidating the foreign
aid program, as has been the ap-
parent administration policy and
the fervant hope of many Con-
gressmen. the White House had
decided that foreign aid spending
would have to continue for the fore
seeable future at about 81 billion
a year. This decision seemed to
parallel the announcement a year
ago that defense spending prob
ably would remain indefinitely in
the neighborhood of $35 billion a
year.
Security, in the White House
view, carries high price tag and
will continue to do so for some time.
Key Congressman were angry
last week because the foreign aid
picture had not been made clear to
them, and some key lawmakers
vowed that a $40 billion request
would be slashed drastically.
Byrd to Fight
Chairman Harry Flood Byrd of
the Senate Finance Committee
said he would fight an appropria-
ton increase. He said spending
should be cut back and that the
administration should use up its
unexpended reserves. Chairman
John Taber of the House Appro-
priations Committee, took about
the same attitude.
Senator Walter F. George, chair
man OF the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. criticized administration
handling Of the foreign aid request.
He showed no inclination to carry
the ball on q large foreign aid bill
as he has In the past.
And Senators Mike Mansfield,
Democrat Of Montana, and Bourke
B. Hickenlooper. Republican of
Iowa, both members Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, said they
had been miSled and were
shocked" at the high spproprta-
ton request.
Clearly 1t will be tough Sledding
for the administration bill next
year. But Capitol Hill observers
thought last week the President
could still get enough support
among Eastern Republicans and
Northern Democrats to get sub
stantially what he wants, provided
the weight Of the White House Is
thrown into the fight.
