1855 CRU

LII signs point to what should surely be
one of the most prosperous years in
the history of the United States.
Men high in government, industrial and
labor circles agree for once, that 1855 will
bring the American people economic bless
ings galore and leave behind it stronger,
safer, sounder and more united nation ded-
icated to an era of peace.
There are the usual Ifs, ands and butts
attached to this roseate outlook, but no one
in authority feels that the "unpredictables'
ahead will hurt the United States in the end.
A prosperous America in 1855 will, of
course mean a thriving Croatian Fraternal
Union, for as goes the nation as whole
so goes an organization as highly impor-
tant entity thereof
An America translated in terms of new
cars, new homes and new comforts will
naturally see the Croatian Fraternal Union
increase it's membership and insurance in
force; obviously make it Of greater service
to those affiliated with it's ranks.
Give the American people more bacon,
pork chops and beef steak. more automo-
biles rolling off the assembly lines in De-
troit more booming steel mills in such
great industrial centers as Pittsburgh, Ga
ry etc, and you give the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions members "built-in prosperity
based on sense of all-around security.
This, then, is the scheme of economic
things to come in America as the Croatian
Fraternal Union begins its sixty-first year
of service to the nation.
Ahead of the Society is the celebration
of the 40th Anniversary of it's Junior Order,
an important five-months-long Membership
Campaign commemorating that milestone,
the staging in Gary next July of it's 4th Ma
tional Junior Convention, and, last but not
least, the conduct of it's 9th National Quad
rennial Convention at Philadelphia in Sep
tember. Blend them together and they spell
out work which should pay dividends.
But let us not forget that the payoff in
the end will depend on the unity = or lack
of it - in our ranks as we 60 through this
year of tremendous promise.
A disunited Croatian Fraternal Union
can be of no service whatsoever to anyone,
least of all the thousands of members who
have helped make it one of the greatest Of
it's kind in North America.
It's as simple as all that in the eyes of
all who believe - sincerely = in unity!

Trojans To Mark
Silver Milestone
Banquet, Movie
Among Highlights

S. S. Pittsburgh, Pa. = On
January S, 1880, nineteen
young fraternalists met at
the home of one Lawrence
Delost, 1920 Larkins Way,
for the expressed purpose of
forming an English Speaking
Lodge on Pittsburgh's old
South Side.
AS a result of that gather
ing, an application for per-
mission to organize was made
to the CFU Home Office and
a Charter was granted to the
group on January 10Th, 1880.
Thus, the infant "Trojans"
Lodge 76 was born, another
testimonial to the greatness
of our CFU organization.
Celebration February 5
On Saturday, February 5,
1855, the "Trojans" will COM
memorate the 25th Anniver-
sary of their Lodge with aus
picious ceremonies at the Lib
erty Hall, Josephine Street,
on the South Side.
The festivities will begin
promptly at 600 PM with a
delicious Banquet being serv-
ed to our guests. During the
entire meal our guests may
enjoy the incompatible music
of the Kossovo Tamburitzans
who have been engaged to
provide both dinner music and
your shuffling tune later in
the evening.
Just as soon as the tables
have been cleared, a short
but interesting program is
scheduled to be run off and
bro. V. I. Mandich, CFU Su-
preme President, will address
the celebrants.
This will be followed by the

Almanac" a copy of which
is annually sent the English
Editor of these pages. This
Almanac, which sells for a
paltry twenty-five cents, has
been published in New Eng
land continuously for a mere
1853 years.
Established in 1892 by Rob-
ert H. Thomas, the Almanac
is far more than just popu-
lar annual weather guide to
its millions of readers in both
America and Canada.
1t is also farmers calen-
dar, giving best planting

this and that; etc. In short,
the Almanac is a classic of
its kind and a national institu-

Easter Cold And Foggy
AS for the weather in 1855,
"Old Abe" that mythical
>soothsayer and prince of
prognosticators, has many a
warning for those who would
lend him their ears.
According to his deductions,
forecast primarily for the
New England States and the
East, 1855 was to start on
a rough note and end on a
rough one with some beauti-
full weather sandwiched in be-
tween.
Lincoln's and Washington's
Birthdays should be clear and
fine, but most of the other
1855 holidays are going to be
remembered for something
else weatherwise.
st. Patrick's Day will be
cold and windy, Easter Sun
day cold and foggy. "A dour
shower" will mar Memorial
Day, May 81, and PLENTY of
thunder from way up yonder'
will keep folks in a quandry
on independence Day, July 4.
Hooray! White Christmas!
"Old Abe" advises his read
ers to plan their summer
vacations during the two
weeks spanning Labor Day.
He claims that period will be
one for the 1855 books.
After that, Labor Day, we
can only look forward to Co.
lumbus Day for the last good
weather of the year. A "dou-
BILE prolonged northeaster"
will make things awfully
rough and cold around
Thanksgiving Day and re-
move our last dreams of sweet
Summer.
But, here's good news:
Christmas, 1855, should be
very white. In fact, "Old Abe"
says Winter really here the
worst in many a year" Some
thing to look forward to.
There you have it. Now do
as you please and see what
comes to pass.

SEEK SURGERY FOR A-BOMB SCARS

Wig, "in September. But in Feb
ruary I reversed myself"
She said she had never received
any cash from Mr.. Lamb.
Tells of Coat Incident
She told Judge Holtzoff that
she had gone to the Palm Beach
home of former Attorney Gen.
eral Howard McGrath, Lambs
chief counsel when she realized
that she had been coerced in
previous testimony. She told
Mr.. McGrath she wanted to re-
tract her testimony, she said.
Upon being told she had no
winter coat for the return to
Washington, Mr.. McGrath, she
said gave Mr.. Brown $1O0 for
a coat for her. But she gave the
money back and asked instead
for the loan of a coat.
Before Mrs. Natvig's sudden
appearance, on the stand, Judge
Holtzoff sharply criticized FEC
conduct of the Lamb hearings.
He scored admission of certain
questions asked Mrs. Natvig-
about her children, about a rob-
berry charge in New York and
about her acquaintance with a
known prostitute. The judge said
that the hearing examiner
should never have permitted
that line of inquiry"

the courtroom.
'Mr. Kittner is member of
the bar and a responsible men,
ber of the Government" the
judge said. THE defendant was
receiving witness fees as a Gov
ernment witness and having her
hotel bill paid by the other side.
She is not worthy of credence on
this particular point"
Mrs. Natvig's original teSti-
mony was that she associated as
a Communist in the 30S with Mr..
Lamb, who is seeking FEC re-
newal of a TV license for his
Erie CPa.) station. This testi-
mony she later recanted.
The issue before the jury IS
whether she originally made her
allegations against Mr.. Lamb
to FBI and FEC representatives.
During Mrs. Natvig's testimony
yesterday Judge Holtzoff ques-
toned Mrs. Natvig as to how it
was that Mr.. Lamb was paying
her hotel bill.
Mrs. Natvig replied, "I had no
money to pay it myself"
Judge Holtzoff said, "but you
were testifying against him"
"Oh, yes," rejoined Mrs. Nat

serious questions were raised

protection of the laws guaran-
teed under the Fourteenth
Amendment. Thos questions re-

misses tie case because the Iowa
Legislature has provided that

parently this law leaves every

Few Actions Taken
Although only three sched-
uled decision-days remain be-
fore probable adjournment May

down only one other written
opinion and comparatively few
orders. 1t did not indicate how
soon it would have anything to
say on the problem of imple-
menting racial integration in

BY MARY McGRORY

Mrs. Marie Natvig, turnabout
witness in the Lamb case, did
another about-turn last Febru-
ary, according to two Depart
ment of Justice witnesses at her
perjury trial today.
John J. Reilly of the Internal
Security Division and Rex A.
Ceilings of the Criminal Divi-
sion, said Mrs. Natvig volun-
tarily came to the department
on February % to tell them
that she had told the truth the
first time at the Federal Com
munications Commissions Lamb
hearings and that her later re-
versal of her testimony was
false.
Says She Admitted Perjury
Mr.. Ceilings said she told him
she had made up" her story of
being "coerced" by former FEC
Attorney Walter R. Powell, jr.,
because "she just couldn't take
the cross-examination" by Ed
ward o. Lambs lawyer, Russell
Morton Brown.
"She said she was guilty of
perjury and that she was will
ing to take her medicine" Mr..
Ceilings declared.
Mrs. Natvig told him and Mr..
Reilly, Mr.. Ceilings said, that
she had read in the papers of the
departments intention to bring
the matter of her reversal of
testimony to the grand jury. She
told them she wanted to appear
before the grand jury and tell
her story, he testified.
Defense Counsel Jean F. Dwyer
croSs-examined Mr.. Ceilings
about Mrs. Natvig's appearance
and demeanor at the three-hour
Justice Department interview.
She looked worried" he re-
piled. "She looked about like
she does now-not very nerv-
ous."
In fearful Appearance
This testimony was admitted
by Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzof after Mrs. Natvig's brief,
fearful appearance on the stand
yesterday while the jury was out
of the room. At that time she
said that, although penniless,
sleeplesS and i'll. she was ordered
from her hotel room by Mr..
Brown. Mr.. Lamb, principle fig
ure in the FEC hearing, was pay
ing her bill at the time.
She had to walk to the FEC
Offices, Mrs. Natvig said. and
when she got there, she was told
by FEC Attorney Joseph M.
Kittner that her reputation of
her original testimony at the
Lamb hearings might cause the
death of Mr.. Powell.
You don't want Bucky Powell
to die. do you?" Mrs. Natvig said
Mr. Kittner said to her.
Mr.. Kittner, who followed
Mrs. Natvig to the stand. told
quite a different story. He said
he did not see Mrs. Natvig until
after she had gone to the De-
partment of Justice of her own
free will. He said also that she
had called him on February II
and said to him, Il want to tell
Bucky I had to do it. There was
no other way out"

Senators who earlier this year
wanted to know whether Su-
preme Court Justice Harlan
though a treaty could supersede
the Constitution explored a pos
sible hint on that subject today
from his court colleagues but not
from him.
One Of the questions that came
up in Senate consideration of the
nomination of Justice Harlan
last March was involved in a
case dismissed yesterday. The
court said it made a mistake in
reviewing the case in the first
place.
This question was whether
Iowa State courts went contrary
to the United Nations charter in
refusing serviceman's widow
the right to sue cemetery. The
cemetery prevented burial of the
Korean war veteran Sergt. John
Rice, because he was part Indian.
Sergt. Rice later was buried in
Arlington National Cemetery at
the direction of former President
Truman.
Decision Affirmed A
In a A decision last Novem-
ber the Supreme Court affirmed
the Iowa decision. In a 5-3 opin-
ion yesterday it vacated the No
vember decision by declaring the
review had been "improvidently
granted" mainly because. while
the litigation was in progress.
Iowa enacted a law allowing suits
for damages in such discrimina-
ton cases. That law, however,
did not apply retroactively to
Mrs. Evelyn Rice, the service
mans widow.
Justice Harlan, who joined the
court last March %, did not take
part in consideration of the case.
During the Senate discussion on
his nomination, Senator East
land, Democrat, of Mississippi,
mentioned the Rice case as an
instance of a A decision which
conceivably could be changed by
Justice Harlan's vote. He and
others said the United Nations
treaty had figured as an argu-
ment in the case and that they
would like to know how the nom
inee felt on the issue. The
question went unanswered at the
time, and still is so far as JUS
tice Harlan is concerned.
Justice Frankfurter, in the
majority opinion yesterday,
noted that the Iowa courts sum-
