following a lingering illness.
Brother Palovich was born
in Bosnia, December 19, 1896,
and joined CF'U Lodge 354 on
March 20, 1858, together with
his wife and six of his chill
dren.
He was the father of 5 sons
and 4 daughters and spent
most of his life here in Coke
burg. He was employed by
Mine 60 until the time of his
death.
The remains of our de-
ceased brother lay in state at
his home in Cokeburg, where
the lodge members went to
pay their last respects.
The respect that the people
of our community had for
brother Palovich was told by
the many floral tributes and
mass contributions, among
which were flowers from our
lodge and club.
The funeral took place on
December 26, 1855, at 200
PM, with services conducted
by Father Sorka Of the Holy
Trinity Greek Orthodox
Church, Charleroi.
Many of the lodge members
attended the funeral and the
graveside recitation was read
by the undersigned.
In behalf of the officers
and members of Lodge 354 we
extend our heartfelt sympa-
thy to the family of bro. Pa
lovich and pray that he may
Rest in Eternal Peace.
Bernard M. Luketich, Pres.

Alternate Delegate for the

Mike was to be found in the

The high regard in which
our Mike was held in this

the mass of floral offerings

Funeral services were held
Friday morning, December

al Home, directed by brother
Joseph Klecatski (member of

Germany Moves
Against InfLution

BONN, Germany, June 20 (P.
The West German govern
ment today proposed restrictions
on credit and public building
to combat rising imitation. II
opposed reduction of the present
48-hour work week.
Economics Minister Ludwig
Erhard outlined the program in
an hour-long speech before the
lower house.
He said 1t was not a tough
plan because there was no need
to dramatic the infiationary
trend, which, he added, has been
less marked in West Germany
than in other European coun-
tries.
Since 1850 the cost of living
has risen Is per cent in West
Germany, Mr.. Erhard said, while
in France, Britain, Sweden and
Norway it has gone up SO per
cent or more.
This. he said has contributed
to the success Of the German ex-
port program because Of favor
able prices. That success, how
ever, contributed to imitation at
home because Of the big trading
surplus. In the last five years
West Germany exported 8ls bill
lion marks ($2,023, 900, 000) more
than it imported. The gold and
foreign exchange holdings Of the
central bank topped IA billion
MATS (s3,332, 0O0,O0O).

To be a world leader" a

The Presidents age and con-

itoIion and U. S. Reds Rap at Moscow
Called Plot Laid Down in KremIin

The free world is again being
treated to a spectacle Of Com
munist acrobatics that might
be called astonishing" were
the word not already over
used in describing the Krem-
Inns antics
In rapid succession, the Red
leaders are demolishing the
myth and even the manhood
Of the erstwhile Great Stain,
reversing the regulations of
thousands dishonored and i'm
prisoned or slain in the con-
tinuing bloody purges, and
radically altering the pattern
Of Communist intrigue around
the world.
Tito is back in the fold, af-
fectionately greeted and feted
in the same Moscow where he
was reviled for years. The
Yugoslav Communist Party is
welcomed back to the current
version of the International.
Marshal zhukov speaks feel
ingly of the Russian and Yu-
goslav Reds going off to war
shoulder to shoulder"
And now, with the obvious
consent and probably the di-
rection of the Kremlin bosses,
the top leaders of Communist
parties in other nations are
boldly making noises like those
made by Tito back in 1947 and
1948 when he earned the fierce
hatred of Stain for daring to.
speak of his country as inde-
pendent.

Wealth and the u. S. Presidency

the Democratic Party in re-
cent years but. once the nomi-
nation Is made, If Gov. Harri-
man is successful in winning it,
he probably will find himself
trying to woo the conservative
or what has been called the
middle class" vote in the cleo
torate. The large number of
homecoming citizens and vot-
ers in the middle brackets has
made this present era Of pros
perity one of conservatism,
though perhaps moderation"
is the more euphemistic word
to use for those who don't like
conservatism"
The 1855 official figures Of
the Federal Reserve Board
show there were 1913 million
families with incomes Of So, 900
a year or over. OF these, there
are IA million families with
incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year.
Taking two votes to a family,
there is a bloc Of Sc million
voters who are erich" if the
standards Of other decades are
considered. It is a little hard to
see, therefore, where radicalism
can make its appeal. 1t might
really ALLEVIATE some of the sup.
port in that rather large seq
ment Of middle class" votes.
So it could be that, If Gov.
Hartman is the Democratic
nominee, his supporters will be
found pointing to his large
fortune with the argument
that such a man would not sign
legislation or take any action
that would be inimical to the
property owning citizens Of the
country and that, hence, he
might be regarded as a pro-
moter rather than a destroyer
of prosperity.
The Course Of riches" would
seem to be less dangerous in
politics today than it ever was.
There are plenty Of millionaires
in the Democratic Party in
Congress. Taft, Hoover, Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Franklin D.
Roosevelt all were relatively
rich men. Hoover gave most of
his salary back to the Treasury,
and Hartman, If nominated
and elected. might do the same.

Boited Hooks to Catch Fish

who at present is general sec
rotary of the Communist
Party in the United States,
comes right out boldly and
admits that many socialist
oriented" individuals have been
repealed by the Communist
conspiracy because of certain
dogmatic and secretarian con-
cepts and methods in our
party, as well as our not-so-
infrequent rigid intolerance Of
outside criticism"
There is no doubt, of course,
that the present Red shenani-
gans are the result of carefully
plotted programs laid down in
the grim walled Kremlin and
put before the comrades after
the recent party congress in
Moscow. The surface indica-
tons that the Moscow chiefs
are permitting the develop.
ment of national" Commu-
mist movements on the Tito
model are completely phony.
There will be no more Titos.
if Moscow can help it. But
there'll be lots of suckers
caught on this crudely baited
line unless the leaders of the
free world stay on guard.
The actual changes in the
Soviet Union and in the So
Wet Communist Party are con-
fined to the power jockeying
still going on there. There has
been no change whatever in
the nature, aims, intentions
and basic methods of interna-
tional communism. Only the
approach has been altered, to
make the wolf look like q
downy lamb.

the nature of Scripture to the

In France, the party bigwigs

outspoken comment on the

Big Road Fund

The District would benefit to
the extent of about $45 million
in Federal aid to highways here
in the next three fiscal years
under terms of the big road
building bill approved yester-
day by Senate-House conferees.
This figure includes allot-
ments for primary. secondary
urban roads and interstate high
ways here, authorized by the new
bill, on top of funds already APP
propriated or authorized for the
next year, 1857. by previous leg
islation.
Would Help Projects
Without including the previ-
ously authorized or appropriated
funds, the new bill would add
$40.5 million to the city'sI
present Federal aid for three
years.
District officials indicated the
funds would be helpful in push
ing forward three big projects
here-the Constitution avenue
bridge, Anacostia freeway and
Southwest freeway.
Federal funds for the Districts
primary, secondary and urban
roads will have to be matched
dollar for dollar by District
money.
On the other hand, the city
has to put up only $40 for very
$50 of Federal funds for the
interstate system in the National
Capital.
For the next three years, the
nearby States would benefit by
new money in the bill added toI
funds available under present
law as follows: Virginia, STATS
million; Maryland, $3.50 million.
13-Year Span
The bill, expected to receive
final action next week by both
House and Senate, actually ex-
tends authority for Federal aid
over a total of Is years.
But estimates of funds avail
able for the District in the extra
10 years beyond fiscal 1857, 1858
and 1859, will have to be de-
termined later on the basis OF
"a complicated formula.
Experts figure that the total
money to be spent by the Federal
Government and by States in
matching funds will amNlnt to
around 1929 billion, the biggest
peacetime bill ever passed by
Congress. The measure carries
a revenue title designed to levy
more taxes 10 meet the cost of
Federal aid.
