Deputy Premier Mikoyan On Tour Of United States

CLEVELAND, Ohio, LR - Anas- tas l. Mikoyan, No. 2 man of the Kremlin, arrived in Cleveland to- day to start a 13-day coast-to- coast tour. He hustled off a plane and down couple lines of police. Several hundred picketing na- tionality groups were blocked back by ropes.
 Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland indus trialist, and his wife greeted Mi koyan, Mrs. Eaton speaking in Russian.
 Mikoyan told her it was very good to speak Russian with her, and solicitously advised the 75- year-old Eaton, who will be his host here, that he should wear a hat on his White-haired head, lest he catch cold
 Several hundred Iron Curtain country nationality groups had gathered at the airport. They car ried such signs as 'Blackmailer," !" "Mikoyan, your hands are red with Russian blood"
 Mikoyan inspected the cockpit of the Vic1ers Viscount and talked with the pilot and copilot during the flight.
 He told them one of his brothers was an airplane engineer. That was Artem Mikoyan, co-designer of the Mig series of fighters. He said also that he had one pilot son killed in the war and another son who is still a pilot
 After an overnight stay as the guest of millionaire Eaton, Mi koyan will go on to Detroit and the West Coast before returning to Washington January 19 for talks with President Eisenhower.

' AirInen Die In Barracks Fire At Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N. Y, R - Wind blown fire killed at least seven Student airmen and injured 13 yesterday as they fought like ami mals to escape from their barracks dormitory at Syracuse University.
 "It was like animals trying to get cut of a cage" moaned Sgt. Peter Bowling, 25, Kalamazoo, Mich, in his hospital bed.
 The one-story prefabricated bar racks housed 45 Air Force men assigned to the university to study Russian.
 Officials said the fire appar- ently started from a heating unit as the students slept.
 Winds up to 50 miles an hour whipped the flames into "a river of fire" said Donald Bowling, 19, Rochester, another of the injured.
 Peter Bowling, unrelated to Donald, told of trying to reach a fire extinguisher outside his room.
 But the fire and smoke were so great that I couldn't stand it," he told reporters. Everybody was jumping out of windows"
 Many of the men were cut by window glass.
 The 22-room, clapboard-type building, in the university's Sky top housing development on hill overlooking the city, went up like matchbox" Bowling said.
 The students had just arrived to take a nine-month crash pro- gram that stresses Russian. The program, established in the 1940's, is subsidized by the government for the Air Force.

ANCHORAGE, R - Strong northerly winds buffeted Alaska's $ largest city last night. Early re- ports indicated damage was wide spread, but not too serious. The winds continued today.
 The most severe blow of the season, racing gusts of up to 50 miles an hour, knocked down signs, posts and trees.
 Fresh snow which fell here over the weekend was whipped into iblinding blizzard-like fury, drift ing heavily across streets and highways and causing hazardous driving conditions.
 Anchorage area schools dis missed classes early and many office employees and store workers left their jobs to head for home. meetings and organizational af- fairs were cancelled.
 Brief power failures were ex- perienced in some sections, extra power line crews, along with fire fighting personnel, were alerted to stand by in case of emergency.
 Flight schedules into Anchorage were disrupted, with some planes being diverted to other fields in south central Alaska.

ISTANBUL, R - An explosion ripped apart two buildings includ- ing two newspaper plants, in the old central part of Istanbul Tues day.
 Police said IA bodies were re- covered and several more were believed still buried in the debris. They said 87 were injured.
 It was feared as many as 30 may have lost their lives.
 Three of the dead were pas sengers in a crowded bus which numbered past the four story bull dings at the moment of the blast. The bus was crushed beneath the debris.
 Other victims were sitting in a coffee shop on the ground floor of a small hotel across the street.
 Cause of the explosion was not determined, but the injured own CT of the building which housed the newspapers Istanbul Ekspczs and Yeni Gazete said it appeared to come from a warehouse in the rear where chemicals, including oxygen flasks, were stored.
 Bulent Gencer, secretary of the Yeni Gazete, said he had put his head on his desk for a short nap.
 T was dozing when suddenly I heard huge rumbling noise and felt myself falling, still in my chair like in an elevator" he said. T fell three floors and found my self on the ground floor"

Tempus Fugit

kAUCH WATER has plunged over the
W. dam of history since the birth Sept.
2, 1894, of the Hrvatska zajednica, today
the multi-million dollar Croatian Fraternal
Union.
This, then, is the Societys 65th Ami
versary Year, an annum we intend to de-
vote to a probe of its almost dim past and
report on these pages to the members of
the worlds largest fraternity of Croats.
. In beginning this historical review
(column 4, this page), we cannot get over
the fact that the Hrvatska Zaiednica in
1895 was in such dire financial straits as to
make it impossible to pay it's first death
benefit of S1OO out of it's assets Of the time
- S4252
The solution? Assess each of the 319
members of those days 80 cents, pay the
widow in full, and keep the Societys head
above water.
Today, almost 65 years later, the Gro
attain Fraternal Union can publicly boast of
more than 10000 adult and juvenile mem
bers, $27 millions in assets, and insurance
in force totalling better than $50 millions.
But there were to be many trials and
tribulations during the early years of the
Society before it was to become a solvent
order.
Those ordeals were to come in years
which spawned terrible depressions, two
world wars, one international crisis after
another, and other tests which tried mems
souls.
The pleasure of reporting this story will
be all ours as the weeks pass and bring
us to Sept. 2, 1859, the 65th Anniversary of
the Croatian Fraternal Union and the thres-
hold Of it's 10th Natl Quadrennial Conven-
tion in Detroit

The Corfu Declaration = Introduction
Yuqoslavia In World History

0NE OF THE principal
. causes leading to World
War I was the general crisis
of nationalities existing with
in the Habsburg Monarchy.
1t was manifest in the Mon
archy's strained re | a tt ons
with Serbia which through
the assassination Of Arch
duke Francis Ferd n a n d
brought about the declaration
of war.
The question of the Austro-
Hungarian relations with Ser
bia formed only a part of a
much bigger question, that of
the Southern Slavs. Its as
pect was twofold:
On one side, the Croats
had become increasingly
dissatisfied with the dual
istic organization of the
Monarchy; for their pOpu-
lation and their lands had
been divided between both
halves of the Monarchy.
Croatia and Slavonia en-
joyed scarcely respected au-
tonomy within the fold of the
st. Stephan Grown lands,
while Dalmatia and Istria
were merely Austrian crown
provinces.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, to
which the Croats had legiti-
mate claims, were never res
tituted to Croatia - but were
after their annexation gov

pleasantly surprised to drive
through a white-tiled tunnel

the downtown traffic conges-
ton. This certainly seems
like a good idea for other ci-
ties to take note.
After breakfast in Pensa-
cola, Fla, the route fol-
lowed the scenic Gulf coast
line down as far as Panama

time we were able to dis
card our winter coats and
enjoy the warm balmy
breeze.
We travelled to Ocala, Fla,
and lodged overnight at Mac

a garden setting. On Tues

Tammies started the day by
picking bags of tangerines off
