A Good Example

M cannot help but applaud the decision
w Of the members Of "Hrvatska Slobo-
da' Lodge 80 of Chicago to form a Com
Society's 1856 Membership Campaign.
The Lodges decision to also offer a
prize of S1.00 in addition to whatever
the Croatian Fraternal Union gives for
signing new members is no less worthy
of our editorial praise.
The members of Lodge 80 have certainly
set fine example in this respect. We hope
many other Lodges will see fit to act like
wise during this Campaign. -

Thanks to the USIA, many Of our Ame-
rican and Canadian members will come to
visit Yugoslavia extremely well publlclzed
in advance of their departure from these
shores and arrive in that country as good
will ambassadors.
Our fellow members should be most
grateful for the USIA's sincere interest IN
their Society, for it is in reality tribute
to the unquestioned greatness of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union.
We can readily understand why the
Government of the United States is inter-
ested in maintaining friendly relations with
the powers that be in Yugoslavia.
Laying politics aside, it is easy to under
stand WHY the USIA is anxious to see the
Croatian Fraterna Unions pilgrimage sue
ceed and add to the friendly relations be-
tween the two countries.
WHY shouldn't America be interested in
creating good will for itself?
WHY shouldn't the Croatian Fraternal
Unions "safari" to Yugoslavia be used
by our Government as an instrument of
good will, gesture of friendlness on the
part of a group of visitors from North
America who have no political axes to
grind and want no part of politics?
Why shouldn't great American insti-
tuition like the Croatan Fraternal Union be
of goodwill service to the United States
whenever and wherever it can?
For no good reason at all!

Fill The Mosque

TAKING good things for granted has long
| ranked as one of the faults of our peo
pie - your English Editor included.
Take, for example, the internationally
renowned Tamburitzans of Duquesne
University, Pittsburgh, who will stage
their annual local concert at Syria
Mosque on Sunday, March 18.
Having enjoyed their shows off and on
for nineteen seasons, too many of us are
beginning to take the Tamburitzans for
granted and are leaving it up to the next
man and woman to support their most wor
thy cultural endeavors
Which is far from right.
Not long ago more than 5000 people sat
in Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque to enjoy the
first district appearance of the colorful Yu-
goslav National Folk Ballet.
The great majority Of those who thrilled
to the artistry of the visiting troupe were
our people - our members.
Now, if this Ballet deserved the sup
port of more than 5000 people, and it did,
then no less than that number should
find themselves in Syria Mosque Sunday,
March Is, to enjoy an even more colOrful
group of entertainers of the first magni-
tude, the Duquesne University Tammes
- the musical toast of two Continents.
Our members in Western Pennsylvania
have long supported the famed Tamburit-
zans. We feel that they will do so again,
again and again in the future.
Hence our earnest desire to see Syria

TOP ISSUES OF IS
TOP ISSUES OF SO
Presidents Health Is Bosis
Of Hottest Political Battle
By RICHARD FRYKLUND

The greatest issue of the 1856
political campaign. as seen through
the eyes Of the Democratic chal-
lengers, is "the part-time President"
The Republicans. Of course. do

nor that the Democratic issue is
even properly named (if Democrats

health. Republicans say, they'd
better label their issue boom

But the Democrats have a certain
advantage in their role as the
"outs." AS the aggressors, seeking
to take the White House away from
the Republicans. they can choose
their weapons and at least try to
put the "ins" on the defensive.
The issue the Democrats have
labeled "part-time President" will
certainly be real one. It is worth
examining the Democratic claims
and the Republican defense as the
Sc presidential battle gets under

hover has been able to devote more
time to major domestic and world
problems than any President in
the last 20 years."
Statistics kept at the White
House show the President has been
able to cut back drastically on
ceremonial duties, thereby freeing
himself for more important work.
Mr.. Eisenhower himself has said he
will overlook none Of his constitu-
tional responsibilities.
Such a precedent of time-budget-
ing will work to the benefit of all
future Presidents.

way they could never absorb Dixon
Yates" or "ballistic missiles"
The issue is laid out by the DEM
ocrats this way:
The President has never grasped
his job in full measure. Now he has
had heart attack, and he himself
has said, 1T would be idle to pre-
tend that my health can be wholly
restored to the excellent state in
which the doctors believed it to be
in mid-September. My future
life must be carefully regulated to
avoid excessive fatigue"
If the President was working less
than full time before, Democrats
say, it is obvious he cannot carry
out the full duties of the presidency
now.
"The American people" Chair
man Paul NJ. Butler of the Demo-
cratic National Committee said
on the day Mr.. Eisenhower an
nounced his candidacy, "tOiH
neUer elect a President uIo, at
IS, has had a serious heart attack
and ,DIlo is unable to be full
time Chief Executive"
This issue cannot fail to hurt the
Republicans, Democratic strategists
say. The only question is how much.
A 312 per cent shift in votes from
the 1852 totals could swing the
election to the Democrats. Mr.
Butler is sure that at least that
many previous Eisenhower support
ers will be unwilling to elect a
part time President"

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

The words in the box above are
strong language. Who is talking?
1t may sound like a Southern in
terpositionist discussing the racial
problems which beset the 1866
American scene, and a rather ex-
IRENE interpositionist at that.
Far from it.
It was DR.. Arthur Twining Had
ley, president emeritus of Yale
University, writing in Harper's in
1925. He was discussing Law En-
forcement," and the social upheaval
prompting his treatise was national
prohibition.
That was 30 years ago, another
era. But it was a time when, as
today, a lot of people felt they were
being wronged by the broad. UNI
yielding sweep of a Federal edict.
DR.. Hadley went on: 1.-THE cost OF
trying to compel obedience to law
which violates the consciences OF
a considerable minority of the
people or the traditional usages and,
privileges of anything like a ma
jority, is usually too great" He was
not actually advocating formal null
LITIGATION, but he was clearly con-
doning passive resistance to what
citizens might consider bad law.
Resistance Widespread
And, indeed, there was plenty of
resistance to the Eighteenth
Amendment and the National Pro-
hibition (Volstead) Act-not only
from individuals, but from cities.
counties and States.
The attitude and acts of some
of the States in regard to pro-
hibition were as dissident. or at
least as hard to cope with, as
those existing today in the deep
South over segregation.
OF course, the ringleaderS are
not the same. Today they include
Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia and South Carolina. In the
1920s they were New York. Mary
land, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island. Illinois, Wisconsin,
Montana and Nevada.
This comparison is by no means
to suggest that the issues surround
ing prohibition and segregation are
exactly, or even closely, parallel.
There are many major differences,
legal, moral and practical. Nor is
there intent to make a case for
interposition or any other method
of circumventing Supreme Court
Interpretation of law.
But the comparison seems to have
value insofar as it serves to remind
that, no matter what part of the
country is involved, Federal law in
variably has trouble when it ap-
proaches the shoal waters of ira
dition and emotion.
The Eighteenth Amendment. rati-
fed in 1919, provided that Congress

At the time, 80 States already had
prohibition laws of one kind or an
other, although most Of them were
more flexible than the subsequent

stead Act. By 1922, after the Vol
stead Act became law, all the re-
naming States except Maryland
had passed similar laws.
Then reaction set in.
For whatever cause or reason,
rightly or wrongly, prohibition as
a Federal policy became unpopular.
Many States sat down and fatty
declined to do anything about
concurrent enforcement.
Five States repealed their prohi-
bition statutes: New York. Massa-
chusetts, Wisconsin, Montana and
Nevada. The Illinois Legislature fol-
lowed suit but its act was vetoed
by the Governor. In Rhode Island
and New Jersey, referendums
strongly favored repeal.
In Baltimore, Police Commission
er Charles Gather. whose job was
a State-appointed one, asked Mary
land Attorney General Alexander
Armstrong if the Eighteenth
Amendment required him to help
enforce prohibition. The answer
was short, decisive "No!"-that
it was up to Federal authorities UNI
less the State wanted to help out.
So Maryland continued to sit tight.
Most important of all, the States
declined to contribute money. Only
two, Virginia and Kansas, ever set
up special prohibition enforcement
machinery. BY 1927 at least 80
States had quit appropriating SO
much as a nickel for prohibition
enforcement. The total put up by
the other Is amounted to little
more than 100000. as against an
annual $11 million allocated by
Uncle Sam.
Practical NuIIificotion
It was this situation which was
blamed by the Hoover appointed
Wickersham Commission in 1881
for giving up. in effect. the policy
of the Eighteenth Amendment {.
as to all States which decline to
act or are Indifferent. It is by way
of notification"
While no organized notification
movement ever really crystallized
against prohibition, the idea was
both practiced and preached-and
not only by extremists.
At the same time that DR.. Hadley
was giving it a literary blessing.
Jerome D. Greene, a lawyer and
trustee of both Harvard University
and the Rockefeller Foundation, was
writing in the Atlantic Monthly
that notification was the tradi-
tional method by which American
communities asserted their will
against the improper or unwel-
come intrusion of governmental ac-
ton in individual or local conduct"
This was not. he said, counsel
Of lawlessness. for law rests funda-
mentally on public opinion and
public opinion can assert itself as
effectively and rightfully in break
ing as in making law-provided
it is really public opinion which is
active and not the capricious action
of lawless-minded individuals"
It is important to add that nei-
ther of these men was, apparently,
talking about the kind of official
State notification attempted in the
tariff fights of the John c. Cal
houn era. They were talking about
resistance within. at least, the letter
of the law.
Whether the States which resisted
prohibition we're within even the
letter of the law was debated end
lessly during the dry" decade.
