our Junior ranks we are mind
full that the Croatian Frater-
nal Union has something to
offer those youngsters who
live within the orbs of nation
al bowling tournaments.
Three of these tournaments
will have Junior divisions ca
tering to the fancy of our
Juniors. These events are, the
Junior Duckpin Tournament
to be held in Aliquippa, Pa,
Saturday, April 16, 1865; the
Junior Division of the Five
Pin Tournament in Hamilton,
Canada, Saturday, April %,
1866 and the Tenpin Tourna-
! ment's Junior Division to be
held in Chicago, Illinois, Sat
urday, May ii, 1855.
In all Of the national tour
naments where Junior bowl
ers participate in a class of
their own, the CrOatian Fra
ternal Union has been under

awarding trophies to the
champions, truly emblematic

The only and perhaps very
minimum requirement to par

the stipulation that the young

of the Croatian Fraternal

prior to said tournament.

New Mothers Club
Off To Big Start

South Chicago, iii. - We
take great pride in announc-
ing that our Junior Order
Nest 242 Mothers Club was
formally organized during a
very enthusiastic meeting
held Sunday, March Is.
Officers were elected dur
ing the interesting meeting
and plans laid for a program
which should in time bring to-
gether all Nest 242 mothers
| and their children.
Complete details regarding
our future plans will appear
here shortly.
Plan KOlo, Song Groups
Some 40 Nest 242 boys and
girls also turned out for the
March 18th meeting to hear
our plans for the organiza-
ton of Kolo and Singing
Groups in our midst.
Addressing tn e mothers
and youngsters present was
Sam Cuzella, a member of C.
F. u. Lodge 440 and a very
able and talented kolo and
singing instructor. Bro. Gu
| zella had no trouble at all en-
thusing those present as he
described how to make these
cultural activities pay rich
dividends.
Bro. Cuzella should find
teaching our boys and girls
a pleasure, for never have we
seen anything to match the
enthusiasm shown by these
Nest 242 members during the
March 13 meeting at the Sa-
cred Heart Croatian Church
Hall.
Nest 242 Claims Honor
Discussed also was the Gro
attain Fraternal Unions 4th
National Junior Convention,
which is to be held July 2-3-4,
1855, at Gary, Indiana.
To date, our South Chicago
Nest 242 has five juvenile and
one adult Candidates striving
to become Delegates to this
great gathering. The Junior
Candidates are Barbara b.
zich, Elaine Tichec, Betty Lou
Stanley, Wheeler Stanley, Jr.,
and Mildred Jovanovich. Ma
ry Plesha, Nest 242 Manager,
is the Honorary Candidate for
Delegate.
We believe this gives Nest
242 the honor of having more
Candidates in this respect
than any other Nest. And we
feel certain all six of these
Candidates will qualify as
Delegates to the July 2-3-4
National Junior Convention.
Yes, big things are happen.

IT'LL BE DIFFERENT: Drama
news is seldom made on Capitol
Hill, but it was yesterday. Not
too surprisingly. it was made by
Tom Patterson, founder and
managing director of Stratford,
Ontario's Shakespearian Festival.
The news? That the festivals
offshoot touring repertory COM
pany will probably come to
Washington in the early autumn.
This group. Canadian Players,
composed of festival performers
headed LS Douglas Campbell. is
negotiating a date for an ap-
pearance then at the Library Of

Its repertory next season will
include Macbeth" and Peer
Gynt." in which it will make a
long tour not only through the
Eastern and Middle Western
States in this country. but in the
several provinces of Canada.
The prospect was promising
earlier during the current season
that the Canadian Players pro-
duction of Shaw's saint Joan"
might find" a play date IN Wash
ington. 1t failed to materialize
when a suitable date in the
schedules of the company and
the local theaters could not be
found.
This year, Mr.. Patterson has
every hope it will be different.

a cultural goodwill gesture
which embraces the best in the
finer arts.
Mr.. Schneider. who created
two of Catholic University's most
memorable productions. Sopho-
cles' "Oedipus Rex" and
"Othello." this year became
Broadway's busiest young direc-
tor. Following the success of last
years The Remarkable Mr.. Pen
nybacker." a comedy starring
Burgess Meredith, he earned
three major play assignments
this season.
The first of these was Robert
Anderson's "All Summer Long,
followed by "Anastasia. one of
the years brightest hits, and
several weeks ago, Tonight in
Samarkand."
DramatiSt Wilder, one of Mr.,
Schneider's deepest admirations,
is also one for whom he has
demonstrated his greatest fair.
Among the nonclassicS. his
greatest hit at Catholic Univer-
sity was the play in which he will
direct Miss Hayes and Miss Mar
tin in Paris. Also, his first sue
cess in festival play direction in
England. several seasons ago was
in Wilder's famous one-acter
Pullman Car Hiawatha.
Pretty close to his greatest
ambition in the theater is the
direction of Wilder's much
discussed. long-unfinished EN-
porium." Its realization could
be brought a lot closer by his
success with the exquisitely cast
1.-The Skin of Our Teeth" this
summer.
Incidentally, Mr.. Wilder is es-
tablishing himself something of
a monopoly as Americas festival
playwright. He was represented
abroad last summer at Edin-
burgh's brilliant festival, will be
back there this summer with
new play, and in Paris in THE

Motsu Questions
Can Red Chino Make 1t Stick if She Tries
To Blockade chione- HELD offshore Isles?
By EorI n. Voss

Red China is moving artillery into
the rugged and watery coastal area
around Nationalist-held Matsu Is
land. which guards the Min River
estuary at Foochow. Airflelds that
can accommodate jets are being
rushed to completion in the vicinity,
But so far there have been no re-
ports of big troop concentrations or
anything resembling preparations
for an amphibious assault on the is
land.
What are the Red Chinese up to?
Only they know. That's why Pres
ident Eisenhower insists on flexible
ity." Meantime, military and diplo-
matte observers here are specializing
on the courses open to the Red Chi
nese if they intend to attack Matsu.
Do the Red Chinese think they con
blockade Motsu and force Chiong
out?
From Pehling Peninsula, where
Peiping is now accommodating longe-
range Russian artillery and captured
American long Toms, every beach
on Matsu Island could be hit. The
range is about IL miles.
The Communists first move prob
ably will be to take the small islands
of Kantang and Kaoteng. to the
northwest of Matsu and even closer
to Pehling Peninsula. This can be
expected whether the Reds plan to
confine their activities to blockade.

of operation.

Mendes-Fronce Takes q 7rip

Since his government toppled in
February, ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-
France has been more or less out Of
the limelight This is quite in keep
ing with tradition; no one is quite
as obscure as the most recent former
head Of the French government.
The other day the rather arrest
ing picture at the right turned up on
The Stars picture desk. AS anyone
could see. it looked very much as
though M. Mendes-France had
taken UP the ancient and honorable
trade of plotting q river barge
through Frances network Of water
ways.
This was little surprising, because
no matter what his other accom-
plishments may have been, the milk
drinking Premier was more noted
for steering the proverbial ship Of
state than for handling the more
prosaic canal-going variety Of vessel.
But In France a. elsewhere q
thing is not always what 1t seems.
The locale Is q river boat, all right,
but the skipper Is not the former
French Premier. It is q wax effigy
of him-cast recently by the famous
Grevin waxworks museum in Paris.

The mutual defense pact recently
negotiated between Turkey and Iraq
is closing the last gap in the defense
Gordon which stretches from An
kara to Karachi. It also will put
an end to the old antagonism which
dates back to the First World War
when Iraq was created from part Of
the broken-up Ottoman Empire.
The new agreement will make Tur-
key the keystone in defense struc-
ture which includes three different
sets of pacts. The first is the IA
power NATO of which she is the
easternmost member, the second is
the Ankara pact, which she signed
with Greece and Yugoslavia in Feb
rurary, 1858, and the third is series
of single pacts signed with Iran,
Pakistan and Iraq, comprising the
South Asia defense periineter.
Turkeys geographic position
makes her particularly important to
the democratic cause. She is the
bridge between Europe and Southern
Asia, the pathway to the Middle
East oil fields. Western Turkey
straddles the Bosporus and Darda-
nelles,th southern sea outlet for
Russia; Eastern Turkey reaches to
the backdoor of Russia.
Due partly to generous help from
the United States, Turkey ranks
high in present-day military cal
culations. Yet, the expenditure of
dollars and technical assistance
would have been useless had it not
been for one man who 80 years ago
freed Turkey from the sitting tradi-
.tion Of Islam and made her part of
the Western world.
The Brooding Foee
1t is impossible to forget Renal
Ataturk while you stay in Turkey.
His strong, brooding face looks at
you in every shop, every cafe, from
statues and transparencies which are
lit up at night in public squares.
There was nothing gradual about
his revolution. Overnight he abol-
ished centuries-old traditions. Is
lamic sacred law was supplanted by
secular law, patterned after the
Swiss code. Time was counted no
longer from the Hegira in 622, but
from the birth of Christ, as shock
ing to the, Moslems as the abolition
Of the fez and the Arabic script.
He opened the universities to
women and gave them chance to
become judges, doctors. government
representatives, factory managers
and aviators. He turned his back
on cosmopolitan Istanbul and built
his capital (Ankara) beside 1000
year-old Angora in the middle of
the Anatolian high plateau.
You see the same sharp contrast
between old and new when you
travel from Ankara north to Istan-
bull or south to Adana.

craft based on Pehling Peninsula
and the nearby islands Of Kantang
and Kaoteng, the Reds might be
able to blockade Matsu effectively
with artillery barrages. light patrol
craft and air power. If they could
make the defense of Matsu too ex-
pensive for Chang to continue, he
might be forced to evacuate with
out the United States ever having
found a pretext to come to his assis-
lance.
The administration has said its
only interest is to keep the Reds out
of Formosa and the Pescadores. Our
concern with the coastal islands
would end. presumably, if Peiping
convincingly renounced any inten-
ton of using them as stepping stones
to FormoSa.
The danger of the blockade gam
bit would be that the United States
would be hard put to find plausible
reasons for helping Chang if the
Communists avoided massing land,
sea and air forces in the Foochow
area.
Chiang's job, obviously, would be
to hang on to Matsu no matter how
hot the blockade got. The Reds
would be nightly extended to pre-
vent the Nationalist from supplying
the small garrison on Matsu.
In the first place. the Communists
are sorely pressed to supply the
ammunition and supplies for such
terrific barrage as would be needed.
There are no railroads and few mo-
torable highways leading into the
area. Junk transports are the prir-
cipal channel of supply.
In the second place, American adj
