ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1959-05-13

The U. S. has, for example, some 1.3 billion
bushels of surplus wheat on hand, for which
the citizens pay out millions of dollars in
storagecosts alone. But beyond that, there
is the moral absurdity of this nation being
swamped by it's own farm abundance while
millions of people in poorer lands go hun
cry or ll-fed.

Eleventh Convention

. The 11th Convention of
the National Croatian Society
(NCS), forerunner of the
Croatian Fraternal Union of
America, was held Sept. 9-24,
1912, in Grossman Hall, Kan
sas City, Kansas.
The chairman had barely
got the Convention under
way before a motion was
made to deny admittance to
reporters of the newspapers
"Narodni List" and "Rodo-
ljub' for uncomplimentary
articles aimed at NCS Off
GERS. Unanimously agreed.
Still in a mood to let the
chips fall where they may,
the Delegates next adopted a
resolution bitterly condemn
ing the Austro-Hungarian
government for it's treatment
of the Croatians within the
borders of that once power
full nation.
Feared Dictatorship
. NCS Financial Secretary
Gjuro Gjurovic got the first
ovation from the Delegates
when he reported the Society
to have 30,174 members in
473 Lodges and assets of
92,9O6.96.
President Pavao Hajdic in
his report to the Convention
said II that the NCS would
be much greater in member
ship if Organizers were put
on the payroll; y that the
new Home Office Bldg. at
1912 Peralta Street, North
Side Pittsburgh, cost $4,000;
81 that certificates were is
sued to all members since the
last Convention; ~ that the
printing of the Zajednicar
was now satisfactory to all
concerned.
President Hajdic then took
a pot shot at the draft of the
bylaws before the Delegates
to the 18th Convention.
He condemned in no un-
certain terms sections GEN.
tralizing broad powers in the
hands of the Chief Executive
of the Society = who was
henceforth to be permanent
ly stationed at the Home Of
flee - and warned that this
could only lead to a Dictator
ship and utter disregard for
the rights of the members.

Board Takes Beating

. Criticism seemed to be
the No. 1 pastime during this
16-day conclave.
Honorary NCS President
Petar Pavlinac started the
war Of words by blasting the
Home Office for delays in
sending out Lodge assess
ments. In fact, he argued
that there was evidence of
mismanagement.
Former Financial Secretary
Josip Marohnic kept the ball
rolling by picturing the Su-
preme Board of those days as
a group Of men dedicated to
battling each other.
Other Delegates got into
the act by aiming their Sum
day punch at Editor Of the
Zajednicar Don Niko Grsko-
vic "for devoting too much
space to ancient history and
religion and very little to the
cause of labor"
The Supreme Board took
some more jibes from the
floor for permitting the divi-
sion Of Lodge 20; for ignoring
contradictions between the
Croatian and English texts of
the NCS Bylaws; for shut
ting it's eyes to a Lodge with
a membership of over 700 op-
Grating with only 81 in the
ranks of the Society; for Gre
ating so much turmoil among
the Lodges and members that
the High Trial Board had to
act on a record number of
! 245 cases between this and
the last Convention; and so
on, almost ad infinitum.
Future American Weep
. Among the dignitaries to
address the Delegates to that
Convention of 81 years ago
was the Hon. John R. Mar
shall, Democratic candidate
at the time for the Vice Pres
ident of the United States of
America.
! With the late, great Wood
row Wilson at the head of the
ticket, Mr.. Marshall was to
make the political grade in
November of 1912 and do so
with ease.
| After Mr.. Marshall had ta-
ken his leave, the Delegates
heard a resolution from the
NCS Lodges in California de-
manding a division of the So
ciety into districts, each dis
trict to have it's own treasu-
ry and certain rights. The res
/, olution was rejected by an

Youth Captured
In Auto Chase
Put on Probation

An 18-year-old youth, who
figured in a lengthy auto chase
with police last May. yesterday
was given three years probation
at District Court for simple
assault and unauthorized use OF
the automobile.
He is Wayne c. Splitter, for
merly of the 5000 block of Shell
by drive, Oxon Hill, Md.
The simple assault charge
grew out of charge of assault
with dangerous weapon,
which had accused Splitter OF
attempting to run the automo-
bile toward Police Pvt. Steve
Powanda of the First Precinct
who had halted him after a
chase through the downtown
area.
Splitter then fled. abandoned
the car and later was captured
by Prince Georges County po-
lice and turned over to WASH
ington officers.
Splitter recently had pleaded
guilty in District Court to the
lesser charge of simple assault
and to unauthorized use of the
automobile
Judge John J. Sirica sus-
pended imposition of sentence
in placing Splitter on proba-
ton. AS a condition to proba-
ton, however, the judge Or
dered restitution in the sum of
$500 for damage to the auto
mobile. He ordered payments
of SIS a month until the total
is paid.
Shortly after his capture
Splitter drew Jail sentences al
Municipal Court up to 60 days
for reckless driving and fol-
driving without a permit. Spit

that they enjoy success in their
profession. And, in order to be
successful, one has to give the
people what they want instead of
what they need" Although
this is often true, I feel that it
represents the highest form of
hypocrisy but makes for very
lucrative enterprise.
You were not wrong when you
assumed that we were dissatis-

will not see the advances that
you have envisioned until many
of those who have assumed lead

You were not wrong when you
assumed that moral leaders are

assume that the entire fault for
