" led as the next man when we ran
across the Detroit News story Of JAM 4,
1858, in which Croatian Catholic Priest
was quoted as saying that more than
100000 Croats reside in America
The authority for the statement is Fr.
Francis H. Eterovich, an associate profess
sor of philosophy at St. Catherine College,
st. Paul, Mimi, and the author of a soon to
be released 500-page volume entitled - sig
nificantly - Survey of Croatian National
Culture
Here is book which we intend reading
from cover to cover, for we like very much
what FIR. Eterovich says about it: 1T is not
a tract promoting any faith or politics"
Which is something our people have long
yearned for

Fr. Eterovich's insistence that Amer
lea is the home Of more than 100000
Croats casts new light on many things of
concern to us as a newspaper editor.
For one, we now know that the Croatian
Fraternal Union = in spite of the fact that
it is the greatest organization of it's kind
in the United States - hasn't come any,
where near tapping it's membership poten-
tial in America
For another, we now realize that our
ness on the American scene.
In other words, the future of the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union is secure.

Artukovic Upset
By Supreme Court
Tribunal Weighs
YugOslav Charges

WASHINGTON -- Wit h
Justices Black and Douglas
dissenting, the U. S. Supreme
Court voted 7-2 Jan. 20, 1858,
that ex-minister Andrija Ar
tukovic of Yugoslavia be put
in custody of a United States
Marshal pending a hearing on
whether he should be sent to
his native land to face accusa-
tions of wholesale World War
II atrocities.
The Yugoslav govern
ment has long been seeking
custody of Artukovic. who
was Minister of the Inter-
ior in the Nazi Cabinet of
Ante Pavelic from April 16,
1941, to Oct. 10, 1912.
Artukovic has been ac-
cused of having ordered the
deaths Of thousands of per-
sons in Yugoslavia during
Pavelic's stay OH the political
scenes of those days.
Pavelic In Argentina
Currently residing in Long
Beach. California, Artukovic
some years ago won a ruling
from United States Courts in
California that the offenses
charged were of a political
nature.
That ruling, in effect,
held that the charges were
of a political nature and
that Artukovic was not ex-
traditable under a treaty
between America and Yu-
goslavia.
Continued demands by the
Yugoslav government result

preme Court to review that
ruling, but the highest court

Gently, they stirred up more
than the controversy over
the Klansmen's ideas Of
white supremacy"
For one thing, they re-
vived the aging specula-
ton about the lost colony"
of Roanoke and the mean
ing and origin of the word
"Croatoan" found burned
on a tree in 1891 at the de-
serted site.
Because of this word,
thought to refer to a tribe
of Indians who destroyed the
small colony, the Robeson
County Indians came to be
called "Croatans,' even
though they are now official
ly known as Lumbee Indians.
Latest to enter the debate
is John Prepolec, President of
the Detroit Croatian Board
of Trade, who contended that
"Croatoan" came from the
name Of sailors from Du-
brovnik, one Of the most i'm

on Croatia's Dalmatian coast,
now a part of Yugoslavia.

Dubrovnik, also called Ra-
gusa, sent sailors and ships
to all parts of the world, Pre-
polec explained.
A Dalmatian legend is that
ships from Dubrovnik sailed
westwards around 1910 with
a large number of refugees
from the Turks, who had
swarmed into the Balkans.
However, he said, one or
more of the vessels was
sunk off the hazardous
