San Pedro Celebration
(Nastavak sa strane 9)
March. She also brought a gorge-ous
centerpiece of fresh autumn
flowers donated by "Flowers by
Florence" florist shop in San
Pedro.
Mark Hallerand his wife Frankie,
a photographer by profession,
hung up beautiful scenic pictures
of Yugoslavia taken by Frankie
while on a trip to Yugoslavia with
her husband. (Frankie is an Ameri-can
who loves our culture and
customs — thanks to her husband
Mark for this).
Tte festivities were to start at
4:00 p.m. but people were already
to arrive at 3:00 p.m. proving our
people were anxiously awaiting a
joyful gathering. They were greeted
at the door by Karen (daughter of
Joann and Drago Mladinich) and
Pero and his wife Jelena Kuzma-nic- h.
After the social hour and dining,
Milan Vranis, former vice president
of the Croatian Fraternal Union of
America in Pittsburgh, and now a
California resident, introduced our
guests. Invited but unable to
attend were Stepan Miosic, former
editor of Nase Novine in Toronto,
Canada, and the Consulate General
of the SFR of Yugoslavia in San
Francisco, with tooth transmitting
their regrets and wishing us well
and much success.
We were honored with the pre-sence
of the Honorable Judge Roy
Ferkich, a native San Pedran; Mr.
Joe Zaninovich who was employed
with the Star Kist Tuna Company
until his recent retirement and his
wife, Mrs. Zaninovich; Mr. Rudy
Svonnich, President of the Yugos-lav
American Club of San Pedro;
Mr. Brad Dexter, Hollywood actor
and film producer and his wife,
Mary Bogdanovich Dexter and her
sister Nina Bogdanovich Tritanic.
Both Mary and Nina are the
daughters of the late Mr. Martin
Bogdanovich. Their father contri-buted
to the growth of San Pedro in
so many ways. He was the owner
of the Star Kist Tuna Company.
Today in San Pedro, there is a new
park called the Bogdanovich Park
located on 25th Street, east of
Western Avenue, near the fire
station. This park is being readied
into an athletic park for soccer,
baseball, etc. per information rece-ived
from the local San Pedro
newspaper, the News Pilot. It is
expected that a dedication will be
made in the near future. Hopefully
there will one day be a biography
written on this great man if there is
not one in the process already.
Milan Vranes read a news release
from Taniug of New York indica-ting
that Brad Dexter will be
producing a feature film on Tito
which will be a co-product- ion
between a U.S. company and Mr.
Cvetkovich of Kosutnjak of Belgra-de,
Yugoslavia. The film will be
based, at least in part if I unders-tood
correctly, on the writings of
Sir Fitzroy Maclean on Tito.
Sir Fitzroy Maclean was Church-ill's
emissary to the partisans
parachuting into Yugoslavia during
World War II and in time, knew Tito
quite well.. One of his first books
on Tito was "The Heretic" later
writing "Escape to Adventure"
describing his adventures with the
Yugoslav Partisans. It is my under-standing
he has written several
books on Tito included is "Dispu-ted
Barricade", and his last book
recently published is a "Pictorial
Biography of Tito".
Impromptu speeches, which we- -'
re very well delivered, were made
by Brad Dexter and Joe Zaninovich.
Ljubo Vukmanovich pitched in for
Nase Novine as did Drago Mladi-nich.
Monetary donations for Nase
Novine were accepted. A list of
donors and amounts will be submi-tted
in a forthcoming article in
serbo-croatia- n by Ljubo Vukma-novich.
Distributing Nase Novine anni-versary
booklets was another co-mmittee
member, none other than
our dear Cika Marko Kramarich.
In our midst were John and Mary
Veljacich of Los Angeles CFU
Lodge 177; Toni Wright of Holly-wood
CFU Lodge 865; Nikola
Kirinich of Sierra Madre with his
daughter and son-in-la- w and the
people of San Pedro were also
happy to have John Gega with us.
For a moment we saw Mate
Glavan with his wife and then he
was oft again overseeing that
everything was going well and
getting the room cleared of tables
for dancing.
Pete Mazich, 17 years old (bless
his young heart — he performed
beautiful) was a one man orches-tra.
Suddenly in the crowd, a deep
voice sung out "Yugoslavia" belo-nging
to one of San Pedro's
handsome young men. As he
approached the foot of the stage,
still singing, more handsome yo-ung
men followed, one-by-on- e,
joining arms around each other and
singing while Pete Mazich started
up the music and then the whole
room of people joined in on the
song "Yugoslavia".
Right after that, these young
men started the Tito Kolo without
music and dancing to the rhythm
of their deep strong voices. Every
time they would sing the words
"Siri Kolo" (meaning join in the
circle to enlargen it) another young
man would join in. What a glorious
sight this was!
Pete Mazich then began the
music. A lovely lady, Branka,
encouraged by the crowd, sang a
medly of our spngs. (Branka, I'm
sorry I failed to get your last
name). Most of the people danced
while others talked and sang at the
bar, The two brothers, Joe and
Omed Gilic, and Tony Fiamengo
worked so diligently and voluntari-ly
contributed their services at the
bar.
During the affair, Mrs. Julia
Miholancan's colorful costume
from Posavina which she was
wearing was admired by all.
To this writer, the highlight of
the affair was watching Drago
Mladinich really enjoying himself.
He was singing everytime I looked
at him. I was happy to see his
whole family together. I had alrea-dy
met his lovely daughter, Karen,
but today met his handsome sons,
Philip and Thomas with his lovely
wife, Milica.
The Committee expresses their
heartfelt thanks to all the lovely
people that attended this affair and
for making it joyous. Apologies are
made for the inconvenience caused
when additional tables had to be
set up and for not calling table
numbers in order to avoid a long
queue at the buffet. Thank you all
for disregarding these and any
other faults that might have been
overlooked.
The committee also thanks eve-ryone
mentioned herein for their
voluntary services performed with
a special thanks to Mate Glavan.
Thank you San Pedro Yugoslavs,
for today was the day this writer,
being a new resident in San Pedro,
fell in love with your warmth and
friendliness shared with you on the
celebration of these two big events
— Ziveo Dan Republike — Zivele
Nase Novine.

Protest
§panskih
novinara
MADRID(Tanjug) — "Nece nas
uSutkati" — to je geslo oko osam
tisuca Spanjolskih novinara koji su
u petak navefier sudjelovali u
protestnom marSu u Madridu i
Barceloni, braneci "pravo na slo-bod- u
Stampe". Vodece politi6ke
stranke, izuzev vladajuce UCD i
sindikalne centrale, solidarizirale
su se s novinarima.
Neposredan povod za ove svoje- -
vrsne protestne marSeve novinara
bila je osuda na kaznu strogog
zatvora u trajanju sedam godina
reportera Xaviera Vinadera. On je
proglaSen krivim jer je u izvjeStaju
o "prljavom ratu" koji potresa
Baskiju, naveo imana vlasnika dva
bara gdje su se redovno okupljali
ultradesnifiari.
Dvojica vlasnika ovih barova
kasnije su bili zrtve atentata ko-mand- osa
baskijskog separatistic-ko- g
pokreta ETA. Sud je пабао da
je Vinader pokazao "profesionalnu
nebudnost", zbog Cega je sada
osuden iako nije imao nikakve veze
s pokretom ETA.
Novinari su uputi'i protestno
pismo vladi u kojem istiiu da su
zabrinuti zbog teSkih ograniCenja
slobode Stampe u Spanjoiskoj.

Madarska zagovara
siru suradnju
BUDIMPESTA(Tanjug) —
Centralni komitet Madarske
socijalisticke radnicke parti-j- e
(MSRP) pozitivno je ocije-ni- o
rezultate nedavnog pos-jet- a
madarske parlamentarne
delegacije Jugoslavije isti-cu- ci
da je ona dalje produbi-l- a
svesfranu suradnju dviju
zemalja.
U okviru vanjskopolificke
rasprave na plenumu CK
istaknuto je da je u razgovo-rim- a
delegacija dviju parla-mena- ta
u Beogradu potvrde-n-a
"zajednicka zelja za dalj-n- ji
razvoj madarsko-jugosla-vensk- ih
odnosa".
Centralni komitet madar-ske
partije izvrsio je, tako-de- r,
analizu medunarodne
situacije pri cemu je, kako se
vidi iz saopcenja i pratecih
rnaterijala, izrazio umjereni i
oprezni optimizam u pogle-d- u
mogucnosti priblizavanja
glediSta udaljenih pregova-racki- h
strana u Zenevi. Ma-darska
partija smatra da u
naporima za popuStanje za-tegnut- osti
veliku ulogu i
mogucnost imaju vlade Za-pad- ne
Evrope, a u torn
sklopu i Socijalisticke i Soci-jaldemokrat- ske stranke. Ma-darska

ATENA (Tanjug) — Ruko-vodstvo
Generalne konfederacije
rada Gr6ke, koje je izabrano na 21.
kongresu odrzanom od 3. do 5.
oktobra na Halkidiku nametanjem
liCnosti vladajuce desnice, raspu5-ten- o
je u srijedu u Ateni odlukom
ovdaSnjeg suda.
Zahtjev za raspuStanje nezakoni-t- o
izabranog rukovodstva uz pomoc
porazene desnice Nove demokraci-j- e
podnijele su sudu u Ateni
sindikalne organizacije radnika i
sluzbenika дгбке elektrodistribuci-j- e
i zrakoplovne kompanije "Olim-- .
pic Airways".
RaspuStanje rukovodstva i po-ni§tava- nje
izbora 21. kongresa
Generalne konfederacije rada shva-cen- o
je u Ateni kao pofietak
procesa u stvaranju slobodnih
spremnost za suradnju s tim
partijama smatrajuci da se u
kontaktima s njima mogu,
ne samo razmijeniti i uskla-di- ti
misljenja i gledista, vec i
stvoriti uvjeti za povremenu
zajednicku aktivnost.
Inace, Madarska i dalje
smatra svojom osnovnom
polaznom pozicijom u me-dunarodn- im odnosima su-radnju
u okviru "socijalistic-ke
zajednice".
Centralni komitet MSRP
istodobno je razmatrao i
izvrsenje ovogodisnjeg priv-redn- og
plana i usvojio smjer-nic- e
za plan u 1982. godini.
Centralni komitet ocjenjuje
da u krajnje slozenim i
teskim medunarodnim uvje-tim- a
privredivanja, koji isto-dobno
jaceotkrivaju izvjesne
slabosti domace privrede,
rast nacionalnog dohotka i
proizvodnje ne moze biti visi
ni u iducoj godini od jedan
do dva i pol posto.
Osnovna madarska preo-kupacij- a,
kako je izrazena u
smjernicama plana za iducu
godinu, jeste da se osigura
ravnoteza u vanjskotrgovin-sko- j
razmjeni i ocuva zivotni
standard gradana na sadas-njo- j
razini.
RaspuSteno rukovodstvo
gr6kih sindikata
demokratskih sindikata koji ce se
zauzeti za dru5tvene i politiCke
promjene i osigurati samostalan
razvoj sindikalnog pokreta deset-Ijecim- a
sputavanog u sistemu vla-davi- ne
desnice.
Prvostepem sud u Ateni u srijedu
ce odrediti privremeno administra-tivn- o
rukovodstvo Generalne kon-federacije
rada, koje ce rukovoditi
sindikalnim pokretom do konstitu-iranj- a
slobodnih i demokratskih
sindikata zemlje. Sve progresivne
snage Grfike pozdravile su odluku
suda, a posebno spremnost da se u
buduci smdikalni pokret uklude sve
demokratske snage bez obzira na
politicku opredijeljenost, s izuzet-ko- m
biv§ih huntista.
