Sen. Aiken Says Attacks On Dulles by Democrats Are Effort to Destroy Him

WASHINGTON tPt Sen. Aiken R-VD told Secretary of State Dulles today that Democratic at tacks might be construed as "a concerted effort to destroy you, politically and personally"
 Speaking out at Senate hear ings on the administrations Mid dle East resolution, Aiken said some of the questioning of Dulles by Democratic senators ''has gone far beyond the point of construc- tive criticism"
 Dulles told Aiken that some times he thought the impact" of the resolution has been lost be- cause the hearing has gone thru such a great mass of details"
 Earlier in the hearing, Dulles had bumped into, a demand for assurance that Britain and France would support the United States in event of hostilities in the Mid dle East.

Whiskey Drinker Downs 20 Slugs In Court Test
 He Stayed Sober,
 Hopes to Prove
 Drunkometer Wrong

MIAMI, Fla, R-William Rose, who drinks his whiskey straight and often-proved in court he can down 20 slugs without getting drunk.
 Whether he drank himself scott free of a drunken driving charge still is undetermined City Court Judge Francis A. Sobieski said after Wednesdays courtroom ex- hibition that he probably will hand down a decision today.
 Rose hoped to prove that a reading by the city's drunkometer was no accurate measure of a mans ability to hold his liquor and still drive car safely.
 His Daily Pint The 44-year-old manager of an apartment house.. who likes his pint of spirits every day, was ar | rested Dec. IS. Tested by the drunkometer, his reading came up .246. A person who gets a reading of .150-which indicates 15O/100s of l percent G015%) of alcohol in the bloodstream-is considered drunk within the meaning of the law.
 Sobieski agreed to let the 238- | pound Miamian drink to a .246 | reading in his courtroom after Rose and his attorneys challenged the accuracy of the drunkometer
 Rose came in for the drinking bout with three pints of an 86 proof blended whiskey. After taking series of visual and re- action tests in lieu of an actual driving test, Rose began hitting the bottle. 1 Talking Much Louder
 He drank almost a pint and half in about AZ hours. He had several cups of coffee during that time and half a sandwich at lunch
 But he never got drunk. The Judge halted the tippling test af- ter the 2Oth shot and Rose took drunkometer test. The reading was .122, shy of the drunk" min imum and less than half the reading officers reported the night he was arrested. At this point he was slurring his words bit and talking much | louder, but he still was able to navigate without any particular Stagger or sway.

When the Winds Right Whale Will Be Burned

BLOCK ISLAND, R.I., R- Town officials have figured out what to do with the 60-foot whale which was blown ashore last Monday night.
 Because there isn't enough beach to bury it, authorities de- cided to haste it with kerosene, pile driftwood around it and burn it. They said they'll wait until the wind is blowing away from the town to do the job.

stead Of using a staff, he has

cultures and the former Inca

been revived in the fascinat-
ing beauty Of his painting"
Shadow OF Dinaric Alps
The vicissitudes of life dur
ing the past two decades have
wrought strange and unpre-
dictable changes in the lives
of millions Of people.
When Kristiar krekovic
was born in 1901 in Koprivna,
Bosnia, Yugoslavla, in the
evening shadow of the Dina
ric Alps, how improbable it
seemed that the maelstrom of
war would one day cast him
upon far-away Peruvian
shores!
y But there were many tram
quill years before that fate
full bombing of Belgrade when
the commodious home over
looking the Danube, built for
his wife, a noted French pi-
anist, was demolished and the
fruits of his life's work burn
ed to ashes.
He was busy painting
murals for civic buildings,
painting portraits of royal
ty-Queen Mary of Eng
land, Queen Maria of Rou-
mania and King Gustaf v
Of Sweden.
He was dreaming of a pa
latial cultural center, dedica-
ted to freedom and tolerance
among nations and religions,
where philosophers, law-giv-
ers, and humanitarians of all
races, creeds and countries
might be memoralized in mu-
raj paintings.

BORN IN kOprivna, Bosnia, Yugoslayia,

in 1901, Mr.. Krekovic it seems, is relatively
unknown to our people here in the United
States Of America and in Canada
In fact, we had never heard Of this ex-
ceptionally talented painter until our atten-
ton was called to him by Mr.. Milan Vaskov
proprietor of Superb Engravers, South Side
Pittsburgh Pa, and an avid follower of
Yugosavs who have made good one way
or another in the world.
Himself of Serbian descent, Mr.. Vaskov
counts that day lost when he cannot run
across something good to say for the people
of his nationalistic background.
Hence his pleasure in calling our atten-
ton to Mr.. Krekovic and his suggestion
that we publish the life story of this great
painter for the edification of the readers of
the Zajednicar.
Since we are no less proud of our ma
tonalistic background, we do so gladly.

THE BETTER OFFS were finally

stripped of their excuse two years ago.
For it came to pass at the Philadelphia
Convention of 1855 that the Delegates voted
to increase the maximum adult and juvenile
insurance ceiling to $4,000. . ~
Now any eligible prospect up to the age
of 40 years may insure himself, or herself,
up to $4,000 - while any present day
member may increase his or her protection
to that point provided he or she has not
passed the 10th milestone in life.
True, there are those who can afford
more than $4,000 in insurance.
But these are not legion on the Ameri-
can or Canadian economic scene not in
these times of the inflated dollar and an
unprecedented high cost Of living.
Still, the Society definitely does write
$4,000 certificates and offers them for the
consideration Of those who can afford such
protection. No one can offer anything bet
ter along the line for the monthly cost in
volved.

$4,000 Ceiling

T here was time when so-called better
off, eligibles for membership in the
Croatian Fraternal Union SHE'D away from
affiliating with its ranks because they could
not get adequate life insurance coverage'
with the Society.
Their argument was lame one, to be
sure, for until 1855 the Society offered as
much as $4,000 coverage to those eligible
for protection under its wing.
And yet there was no standing in line
at Lodge meetings waiting for Secretary
to write the $4,000 ceiling allowed under
the Bylaws which prevailed before the
Convention of 1855

WASHINGTON, D. G.. -
In the sixteenth century when
the Spaniards conquered Peru
they put an abrupt end to an
extraordinary civilization that
had developed in the high
lands of the Andes.
1t had it's origins in the
tenth century when the In !
cas-, one of many tribes liv-
ing in the region, took pos
session of the tWO-mile-
high valley of Cusco.
Thus began pattern of
conquest that, by 1884, when
the chief Inca fell victim to
the trickery Of Pissarro, had
produced a wealthy, well-or-
ganized EN- pire. stretching
from what is now Colombia
to the northern part of Chile.
1t covered almost 100000
square miles and included de-
sert and jungle, coastal low
lands and the upland valleys
and snowcapped peaks Of the
Andes cordillera.
Incas Great Organizers
The IncaS were great or
ganizers; they created an en-
pirc that was tightly knit
economically and politically.
They were excellent build
ers although they had no
wheel, no mortar and no iron
tools = and many of their
fortresses and other struc-
lures still stand despite the
earthquakes common to the
region.
However they left less evil
dence Of themselves and their
culture in the sculptural en-
bellishment Of their imperish-
able stone walls than did the
Mayans of Central America.
Excavations in the ruins Of
prehistoric Peruvian cit c S
and studies by Philip Aims
worth Means, Wendell c..
Bennett, Julio G.. Tello (an
Inca descendant and other
archaeologists and scholars
have helped to pierce the
gloom of the centuries.
And now comes kristian
krekOvic, a painter who,
after exhaustive study of
the aut horities, has
brought the legendary and
living inhabitants of this
fabulous land to life in
series of monumental can
vases which had their first
United States showing at
the Smithsonian Natural
History Building in Wash
ington in 1855.
Krekovic, a native Of Bos-
MIA, fled the Balkans during
the war, sought refuge in the
Americas, and, having become
enamored with the culture of
ancient Peru, finally made
Peru his adopted country
through citizenship.
Legend Of Nance Capac,
In presenting the artist at
the opening, His Excellency,
Ambassador Senor Don Juan
Bautista de Lavalle, Peruvian
Representative to the Organ
ization of American States,
remarked:
Gas we look on the paint
ings hung here, there
comes to mind the symbolic
legend of Nance Capac,
sent to earth by his father,
the Sun, with the mission
of civilizing his people and
uniting his brothers in the
tasks of peace.
Nance Capac carried a
golden staff, with instructions
to traverse the land and to
found the capital of his en-
pire where the staff disap-
peared into the earth.
Il think that we may say
that krekOVic has fulfilled

HONORING THE Society's membership

in Canada, the 1857 Campaign aim is to see
the writing of Sc millions in new and in
creased adult and juvenile life insurance,
task of major proportions.
But not an impossible task if the proper
cooperation is Forthcoming.
Not at all impossible if the Society's
expected 1857 legion of Field Workers con-
centrate on writing adequate amounts of
new and increased life insurance instead of
settling for the signing of new applicants
unwilling to go beyond, say, the 81 o00-
mark In protection
There is no such word as impossible"
In the lexicon of our Society
There never was never will be.
