Million Russians
See U. S. Exhibit

MOSCOW, Aug. 8 (AP)-
The American exhibit today
rounded out it's second full
week. Nearly a million persons
are believed to have seen the
displays so far.
Howard Messmore, deputy
director, said he thought the
show has been playing to about
$1,000 persons daily. He could
have sold twice that many
tickets, he said, but sales are
kept to $4,000 daily to insure
control of the crowds.
Another $4,000 are thought
to be getting organization or
factory passes to the exhibition
daily.
From the first moment when
the visitors clutch for souvenir
lapel buttons to the instant
they plunge into the mail or
der catalogs on display, the
crowds are avid for informa-
ton and eager for f1rst-hand
contact with everything.

In Paris Fraud

PARIS, Aug. 8 (AP).-A
senior official of the American

than 500 million francs (about
81 million) of the firms money.
Named by a French magis-
trate at the Palace of JUS
tice was Martin Allen, 80, a
native of Philadelphia. He was
described as the company's

completely was Renato GrasSi,
a 36-year-old Italian from
Milan.
French authorities said the
two men were arrested on
complaint of the American
Express Co. The American Ex-
press Office in Paris was closed

Those alligators lie there
like a log and let the dog play.
Then they hit the dog with
their tail and eat him up" Mr..
Fields said.
Police said the alligators
must be captured alive because
firearms cannot be discharged
in the city. Attempts to trap
them have been unsuccessful.

Leisure Study
Given Grant

Washington area teen-agers
have been asked to take part
in a study Of leisure-time &C
tivities and interests that can
be used around the country to
chart teen-age recreation pre-
ferences.
Analysis Of the findings Of
the comprehensive question:
naire being developed here will
seek answers to such questions
as:
What relation is there be-
tween the kind of recreation
a teen-ager enjoys, his record
in school and his career plans?
What relation is there be-
tween his family and neigh
borhood and his leisure-time
choices?
To what extent do his fam
lily's education and interests,
the amount of money avail
able to him and the kind OF
equipment for recreation in his
home affect his choices?
How much do young people
take advantage of free or low
cost leisure time facilities?
How much does membership
in clubs and teams affect the
life of high school youth?
Joint Effort
The study is being carried
out comparatively by the
Health and Welfare Council
of the National Capital Area
and the University Of Mary
land.
Because of its potential ma
tional significance, the U. S.
Office of Education last week
granted the university 9 one
year, $4,000 special research
grant to complete 1t.
The University project is
under the direction of DR..
Harold Hoffsommer. chairman
of Maryland's division of So
cial sciences.
DR.. Edward B. Odds. program
development consultant for the
Health and Welfare Council, is
acting as a co-director.
1O-Year Project
Along with William H. Bart
lett, HWC recreation consult
ant, DR.. Odds also is the archi-
tect of hives project to devel-
op a general recreation plan
for the area with the Corpora
ton of 100 public and private
agencies.
The data on teen-age pref
erences will be included in
this overall 10-year projection
of leisure time activities and
resources for meeting them.
Plans for this overall prof.
ect we're released today by the
recreation subcommittee of the
District of Columbia Committee
for the 1860 White House Con-
ference on Children and Youth.
The full local committee, I'M
der the Craftsmanship of Mrs.

buttons to the national confer
ence in a meeting at 10 am.

The AFL-CIO charged yes
terday that many corporation
executives have made fortunes
overnight with virtually no risk
and with the aid of favorable
tax laws.
Practices such as stock OPP
tons, a study by the labor or
ganization's Industrial Union
Department said, have created
q new crop of millionaires
whose activities shave left a
trail marked by special privi-
lege. hypocrisy. tax avoidance,
inflationary pressure and stock
market abuse"
The AFL-CIO said its study
included examinations in de-
tail of stock option plans of
the Goodrich Rubber Co., Alu-
minum Corp. of America, Ford
Motors, U. S. Steel, General
Electric and General Foods.
Plan Explained
What is a stock option? 1t is
a plan under which a company
grants PERMISSION to an indi-
vidual to buy a certain number
Of shares at a set price. The
Individual may be an officer of
the company who had a hand
in granting the permission.
The option holder may wait
as long as 10 years before buy
ing any or all of the shares in
volved. This gives him time
to see where the stock values
are headed. Regardless of how
much the stock increases in
value, when the option holder
finally buys he pays no more
than the price set when the
option was granted. If the
stock value drops, he simply
declines to exercise his option.
The study gave this example
Of tax benefits under the option
plan.
President Smith of Com
pany w is granted permission
to buy 5000 shares Of "Y" stock
at sos a share. A few years
later the stock climbs to $3.50
a share. Smith takes up his
option, invests $475,000 and
gets assets worth $1.250.000,
thus making an immediate pa
per profit of SITS 900. When the
stock later climbs to. $400,
Smith sells his 5000 shares for
50 million. realizing an actual
profit of $1,525, 900 in all.
Law Changed
The study said: Smith now
Is in a position to enjoy an
additional privilege. Under the
law which prevailed prior to
1850. the profit he made the
moment he purchased the stock
($775,000) would have been
treated as part of his income
for the year in which the pur-
chase occurred and taxed at
ordinary income tax rates
(Which now run as high as 81
per cent?.
1.-THE remaining part of his
profit ($750,000), which re-
suited from a rise in value after
he purchased the stock, would
have been taxed at a maximum
rate of Is per cent like all
other gains from the sale Of

Born July 26, 1867, in Vrbovsko, Gro

travels through the Gorski Kotar section of
that Republic of Yugoslavia, Mrs. Jurkovic
joined what was then the National Croatian
Society on March 21, 1909, and has been
an exceptionally active member of the So
ciety for many years.
There is something rather remark
able about this Grand Old Lady, which
should be brought to the attention of every
interested member of the Society,"
At time when very few people of her
age are on the move, this 91-year-old fra
ternalist is the Treasurer of her Lodge and
unquestionably the dean of the Croatian
Fraternal Unions female Lodge and Nest

Remarkable indeed.
We wish it were within our domain to
pin an orchid on Mrs. Jurkovic and thank
her personally for her many contributions
to the Society and the Croatian Colony of
McKees Rocks.
We would also tell her - at the same
time - that at her ripe old age she puts to
shame younger members who see fit to de-
cline to accept a Lodge office; unless, of
course, it happens to be CFU Convention

and perhaps the bloodiest time, may lie just
ahead. Rebel Fidel Castro is by no
means the accepted leader of all those who
opposed Batista.

Salute To Gary

XiHY is 1T that so many of our people
w take so long to acquaint us with the
good they do in their communities?
For example: - We have just learned,
via an article on page 10 under the by-line
of Mrs. Sylvia Niksic, that prominent jur-
ist and television personality saw fit last
Summer to direct lavish praise at the Gary,
Ind, CF'U Junior Order Nest 10 Mothers
Club for sponsoring a series of Teen-Age
Dances which brought about remarkable
Improvement in the dress, decorum, dane
ing and morale of the youngsters.
Why is it that only now - many months
later - are we to learn of the tributes paid
this Mothers Club by Lake County, Ind,
Juvenile Judge Joseph Meszar and Chicago
Disk Jockey Jim Lounsbury for their spon-
sorship of undertakings which are aimed at
minimizing juvenile delinquency in one of
the great industrial centers of America?
No, there is nothing wrong with being
modest to the proverbial T.
But to keep from the readers of The
zajednicar the wonderful roles our people
and Society play in the improvement of a
city isn't - as they say - cricket.
On the other hand, it's better to learn
something good late than never.
AS in this particular case.
