Orchids To ACSF

T he Croatian Fraternal Union has aided
many worthy causes since it's inception
in 1894 or 62 years ago.
Some of the causes were of the cultural
variety, with the now internationally re-
nowned Duquesne University Tamburitzans
of Pittsburgh serving as an excellent case
in point
Still another would be the American
Croatian Singers Federation, which held it's
National Singing Festival May 27 1856,
in Chicago's Orchestra Hall
THE SUCCESS of the recent ACSF
Festival was such as to bring the Fedora
tion to nationwide attention for the first
time since it's birth only few years ago.
Up until the May 27 spectacular, the
Federation was known only to our people
in the East and Midwest, thanks in the
main to the moral and material support of
the Croatian Fraternal Union and the gen
erosity of it's members.
1t took much time and patience before
the ACSF came into it's own But the out
come of the May 27 Festival more than
made up for those lean years of the past
The Croatian Fraternal Union is the
better off for aiding this now great insti-
tuition, the American Croatian Singers
Federation. May it be a part of the national
scene for years to come
Finally, our congratulations to all who
participated in the Festival.

brownish liquid to be taken
by the teaspoonful four
times a day. If this was
not tolerated, a pink liquid
medicine was substituted.
The black medicine con-
sisted of sugar, water ex-
tracts of red clover bios
SONS, buckhorn, cascara,
prickly ash bark, poke root,
berberis root, stillingia
root, burdock, licorice and
potassium iodide. The pink
medicine was merely elixir
of lactated pepsin with a
quantity of potassium iod-
ide.
In November OF 1854 the
use of a tablet was substi-
tuted for the black and
pink liquids. In announcing
the tablet as "the greatest
development" in medicine
in recent years, Hoxsey
stated that it was COM
posed of the same ingredi-
ents as his black liquid
medicine.

thanking us for the bow in the direction
of his organization.
In more recent weeks we spoke highly
of the ecu during addresses delivered be-
fore members of the Croatian Fraternal
Union in Kansas City, Kansas, and Milwau-
kee and West Allis, Wisconsin, and called
for greater cooperation and unity between
the two organizations
Why? Because there is ample room in
the United States for both organizations
to live side by side - to prosper without
one belittling the other in any way.
X
ONE WOULD think that our respect
for the ecu would rub off on the editorial
staff of its official organ and result in at
least some esteem for the CF'U.
But no. as witness the by innuendo po-
litically inspired sniping at the Croatian
Fraternal Union for sponsoring Member
ship Campaign calling for the Grand Prize
Award Winners to visit Yugoslavia in Aug
ust of this year.
Born, raised and educated in America,
and Catholic to boot, we see nothing mo-
rally wrong with this visit to Yugoslavia,
the former homeland of many members of
both the CFU and the ecu.
AS the Secretary of the Society's 1856
Membership Campaign Committee, we have
publicized the merits Of this August visit
to Yugoslavia and aim to do 80 time and
~, fnf1, fVin 70 q
better understanding between the Amer
lean people in general and those of that
Southern European country.
We are of the sincere opinion that the
Croatian Fraternal Union has done a Won
derful thing in sponsoring such visit and
that the Society will be thanked for it many
times in the future.
Were our convictions otherwise, We
would not hesitate to say as much.
WHAT WE wrote in the past and ut
tered publicly in recent weeks about the
Croatian Catholic Union stands ''as is" and
without any regret on our part personally.
The fact that the CFU and ecu happen
to be engaged in competitive business is
beside the point and of no Importance in
the end. AS we said, there is ample room
for both to grow and prosper.
What is important is to see the leader
ship and membership Of both organizations
upholding pride in our nationality, our cul-
ture and our traditions - and not taking
pot-shots at each other not even by the
usage of nnuendos.
For the CF'U to belittle the ecu can
only lead to the degradation of the CFU.
The same rule of thumb applies to the ecu.
We have two fine organizations in Ame-
rica. Let's keep them that way.

the occasion of his 18th
birthday, in 1882, the late
DR.. Nikola Tesla read and
heard praise and acknow-

by a man during his lifetime.
A m e rica, England,

1t would take all six pages

what was said and written
about DR.. Tesla during that

Justice Minton to Quit
Supreme Court Oct. IS

Supreme Court Justice Sher-
man Minton notified the White
House today that he intends to
retire October Is. seven years
and three days after he took his
seat.
Justice Minton, in a letter to
President Eisenhower, gave ill
health as his reason for stepping
down from the bench. He has
suffered from circulatory con-
dition in his lower legs and
walks with a cane.
He told the President he did
not feel he could carry out 1.-The
exacting duties of my Office" in
his present condition.
Action Seen Surprise
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said Mr..
Eisenhower had received Justice
Minton'S letter of resignation
and probably would make it
public later today, along with
the Presidents reply.
Attorney General Brownell
has been mentioned frequently
as a possible choice for the next
opening on the high court. How
ever, a key Government official
said he doubted very much that
Mr.. Eisenhower would pick Mr..
Brownell to succeed Justice
Minton.
There were indications that
Justice Minton's resignation took
the White House by surprise. And
there seemed to be a feeling
among some officials that he
should not have announced the
resignation in the manner he
did-before the White House
had an opportunity to take pub
lie note of it.
The third most junior member
of the high court in length of
service, Justice Minton will be Sc
on October 20, He will be eligible
for full retirement benefits of
$4,000 yearly.
Last Truman ,AppOintee
He has the required is years
on the Federal bench, with seven
years on the Supreme Court and
a few months more than eight
years on the Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals in Chicago.
Justice Minton was the last
of former President
Truman to the court. He sue
ceeded Justice Wiley B. Rutledge.
President Eisenhower now will
have his third opportunity to
name member of the high
court. His other appointments
were Chief Justice Earl Warren
and Associate Justice John M.
Harlan.
Mr.. Minton first appeared on
the national scene in 1884 when
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-07

he was elected to the United
States Senate. He served one
term, until January 3, 1941 and
was the Democratic whip for a
time.
He worked briefly as President
Roosevelt's administrative as
Sistant after leaving the Senate,
and then was appointed to the
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
in May, 1941.
His health on the high court
has been good for the most part,
excepting the Gripping condition
in his knees and the lower part
of his legs. which made it diff
cult for him to move around.
He had suffered a broken leg
i'm 1949. In 1945, while on the
Chicago Circuit Court, he was
stricken with a heart attack
which kept him of duty for
some time.
Although he has no definite
plans for the future he expects
to return to his home in New
Albany, Ind. where he once had
a law practice and where he has
spent his summers since coming
to Washington.
Justice Minton has been liv-
ing at the Methodist Building,
across the street from the Su-
Ipreme Court Building. He is
an ardent baseball and football
fan and has attended many Sem
ator, Redskin and college games
in the Washington area.
