The members of "Prerado-

a very busy schedule which
will call for perseverance and
sacrifice so that the events
will be successful.
And Now, Forward!
Although we all live in this
modern era with it's many

behooves all members to
pledge themselves to faithful
attendance of rehearsals for
the next four months, during
which time only work and i'll

When we complain about

each and every one remember
that our organizations are

that it takes the combined ef-

Creating Interest
Group Is Seeking
National Support

PITTSBURGH - What's
in that old trunk that you
have stored away up there
among the cobwebs in the at
tic or down in that damp cor
ner in your cellar? Take a
look.
Maybe there's something in
it that can be used by the
Duquesne Tammies in their
future Tamburitza Hall. You
can help the Tamburitzans to
furnish and add the finishing
touches to the planned model
Croatian Room, the model Slo-
venian Room, or the model
Bulgarian, Roumanian, Hun
garian, Serbian, or Austrian
Room.
Look among your old pos
sessions and through those
old trunks and boxes.
There may be a Slavic
pillow case, an embroidered
tablecloth, All old picture, a
book, a simple pin cushion,
an old carved clock, or
something that you or your
grandparents brought with
them from Europe many
years ago.
Rather than to let these
objects get damp, then mould
and decay, and end up in the
trash can - think! - they
may be small, insignificant,
and worthless to you, but tC
us each object may be a mas
terpiece in itself of great cul.
tural value, to be preserved
for all time in TamburitZs
Hall for everyone to see.
Please Take A Look
Remember those old green
labeled records and those old
books that just collected dust
until you stored them in some
out-of-t f-the-way spot?
Remember that old embroi-
dered scarf or costume, that
ancient tambura, those things
that began to get thin, weak
en- in strength, or became un-
usable? These things will be
priceless to Tammie Hall be-
cause of their authenticity.
What makes a room warm
and comfortable? It's the
small odds and ends that ado
the color and warmth: a cue.
koo clock, delicate figurines
doilies, a small tea cup anc
saucer.
These small, original Oh.
jects are what the Tamburit.
zans are constantly searching
for to make Tamburitza Hall
a true-to-life picture of the
Slavic peoples and their sur.
roundings and handicrafts.
Help us to make Tammie

details ;. the only building
of it's kind in the world, a
part of which will belong to

bers." .
Now I don't profess to be
an expert and won't even at
tempt to venture a guess as
to what the above figure
would have been without the
1858 Membership Campaign,
membership or money-wise.
How ver, l definitely
cannet agree with brother
Grasha that his figures are
even close In the light of all
other factors which enter
ed the 1858 Campaign pic
ture.
Of course I wholeheartedly
favor Campaigns in one form
or another, so long as they
produce results.
But if they are not favor
able for the Croatian Frater-
nal Union as a whole, then a
change is most certainly in
order to remedy the situation
if at all possible.
What Society Spent
During our 65-year history,
we have steadily progressed
to the fraternal giant that we
are today. And the cost to us
in the. past was relatively
small to achieve that prog
ress.
In recent years, however,
the cost to tte Society has
been high and our adult mem.
bership has been steadily de.
clining.
On Dec. 81, 1858, the
adult membership of the
Croatian Fraternal Union
numbered 72,O42. On Dec.
81, 1858, just five years
later, we had exactly II ,293
or 749 members less. g.
For this progress the So
ciety paid it's Campaign Pro
posers and Lodge Secretaries
for the above years, the
grand - if not staggering
- total of $268,5O2.15, OF
more than a quarter million
dollars.
And yet we lost during that
period Of years exactly 74e
members in the Adult De.
partment.
What price "progress?"
Everything To Gain
To repeat what l said ear
lier in this article. it is very
difficult for me to believe that
the Croatian Fraternal Unior
would disintegrate if some
! revisions were made in oul
present system of conducting
Membership Campaigns.
Nor can anyone convince
me that our campaigners are
enrolling new members only
because of the monetary fac
tor involved.
AS members of a "House o.
Brotherhood" I sincerely be
lieve that there are many o.
us who are still willing te
work for the good and welfare
of the Society regardless o1
the returns we receive for ou1
efforts.
$. Our Campaigns pose a
problem in that they cost.
the Society q lot of money
and fail to keep the men,
bership Of the Adult De
partment from dropping
steadily.
There must be an answer tx
this problem, and it is oul
duty to find a solution.
In the meantime, nothing
should prevent any Of VI
from uniting in making th'
1859 Membership Campaign

class all by myself and give
me credit for not being afraid
to spotlight the so-called me
gative" after devoting most
of his article to criticism of
my again so-called negative
approach"
Negative approach to
what?
Are not the members of
the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on entitled TO know the true
and complete picture of our
activities, be those activi-
ties good or not so good?
Is it not our duty as Su-
preme Officials to let our
membership know Of this SO
that a remedy can be found
for the future good Of the So
ciety? i%
I think it is our duty to do

50. @f @
Why Disintegration?
In his Feb. rs article, bro
ther Grasha mentioned mem
bership losses of previous
years as being an annual oc-
curence. I will not take issue
with that statement.
However, that does not
mean that such a condition
should be allowed to continue
forever without someone try
ing to do something to cor
rect it.
In the very next para
graph, he makes the direct
statement that the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union would
now have 10000 instead Of
10000 members If no
Campaigns were conducted
since 1853.
He also implies that once
we do away with Membership
Campaigns we (CFU) might
as well lay down and wait for
certain disintegration.
Considering the pre- Sc n I
strength of the Croatian Fra
tenal Union, and bearing in
mind that there are ways
(Field Agents) of conserving
and adding to our membership
if we must change our meth
DDS Of operation, I cannot a.
gree with anyone who would
argue that disintegration is
to be the fate of our Society

Stocks Rebound
After Downturn

NEW YORK, Mar. 6 (AP).-
The stock market steadied after
an early downturn today. Key
issues bounced back from pre-
vious lows in heavy trading.
Stocks easily absorbed the in
itial reaction to yesterdays
move by the Federal Reserve to
restrict credit, brokers said.
They interpreted the upswing
as an indication Of the mar
ket's basic strength.
While prices generally re-
manned lower, pivotal issues re-
trieved part of their early
losses. United States Steel re-
bounded to 1926. down SO
cents. and General Motors to
$46.25, down 81 cents. Dupont
climbed $3.50 to 1928.
Rocket issues also came back
briskly. Zenith stood at $l29.50,
down So, and Thiokol at
$128.87, down SIPS, well above
earlier lows.

Americas reliance would be

Needs of AggressOr
On the matter Of possible

planned that any time a ma
ton organized as massive a
strike as it would need to de-
stroy hundreds of thousands Of
targets simultaneously here and
in the free world. it would be
virtually impossible to avoid
being observed and reported.
He mentioned the vast Sin
terchange Of communications
that would be necessary for an
aggressor to have and also
"just plain motions" in prepar-
ing for a surprise attack.
Mr.. McElroy said the most
dangerous possible situation
which would face the United
States would be If we relaxed
our guard after an enemy

U. 5. Assurances

NEW DELHI. Mar. 8 (AP).-
The new United States-Paki-
stan military pact touched OF
an uproar today In the Indian
Parliament with Communists
seeking an immediate debate.
Prime Minister Nehru stilled
the commotion by promising to
ask United States Ambassador
Ellsworth Bunker to clarity
what the treaty involves.
Mr.. Nehru said that Mr..
Bunker told the Indian Foreign
Secretary the agreement covered
aggression only as defined in
the Eisenhower Doctrine-in
other words, Communist agrees
sion-and gave assurances that
it added no new factors to the
India Pakistan disputes.
But Mr.. Nehru said he I'M
derstood the concern of Par
lament members and would
seek further assurances from
Mr.. Bunker. He had told a
press conference earlier today
he was still uneasy that Pakis-
tan might use against India
Americans arms furnished it
for use only against commu-

To bolster the anti-Commu-
mist Baghdad Pact, the United
States signed mutual defense
treaties in Ankara. Turkey,
yesterday with Pakistan, Iran
and Turkey. The United States
pledged to take "such appropri-
ate action. including the use of
armed forces, as may be mu-
tually agreed upon" in event of
aggression against the three
