Poles baffle riot police Dissident victim of Soviet
on Solidarity anniversary JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Olena Antoniv Krasivska,
WARSAW - Tens of thousands of Poles, braving
water cannon, concussion grenades and club-wielding
riot police here and in at least 10 other Polish cities,
rallied on August 31 in a massive outpouring of
support for the suspended Solidarity trade union on
the second anniversary of its founding.
Late-breaking government reports said that at least
two people were reported dead in the southeastern city
of Lublin, and scores of policemen injured in the
rioting. Over 4,000 people were reported arrested
nationwide.^
^ There were also reports of clashes in Gdansk, where
fv;v,the union was born, and in Wroclaw, Cracow and its
steel-making suburb of Nowa Huta. Government
spokesmen also reported unrest in Szczecin,Peremysh!
(Przemysl). Czestochowa and Rzeszow. Parts of
Gdansk were still said to be under the control of the
demonstrators late in the evening.
The protests, called by fugitive leaders of Solidarity,
came despite stern warnings from officials, who
deployed riot police, red-bereted paratroopers and
army troops, reported the Associated Press.
In Warsaw, the nation's capital, about 10,000
demonstrators defied martial-law authorities by
marching toward. Communist Party headquarters.
Pockets of young people reportedly chanted "Free
Lech Walesa," and "We want Lech," referring to the
interned leader of Solidarity.
The New York Times reported that the first tear gas
cannister was fired into the crowd about 4:17 p.m.
Helmeted police fought running battles with demon­
strators in several areas of the city, including an area in
front of the Sister of Visitation Church, where a floral
cross was laid out in the street.
The cross is one of two that have been established as
a symbol of resistance since the police built a wooden
fence around the floral cross marking the spot where
Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski lay in state.

GDANSK, Poland - Polish riot police beat
back thousands of anti-government demonstrators
in this port city where the Solidarity trade union
was signed into existence after a victorious strike
two years ago, reported The New York Times.
According to reports, clashes between police and
Solidarity supporters lasted for over four hours.
Police, equipped with truncheons, water cannon,
concussion grenades and tear gas fought with
workers armed with gasoline bombs and makeshift
clubs.
Reliable medical sources indicated that at least

The trouble began when riot police moved in on
housands of demonstrators in front of the Lenin
Shipyard, the site of the massive strike two years
ago that led to the formation of Solidarity. At least
300 of them retreated into the yard, by breaking
down a metal gate, The Times said.

smear campaign
whose husband is currently in exile, was the subject of
a vicious smear campaign in the August 18 issue of
Vilna Ukraina, a Lviv daily, which accused her of
stealing money from the so-called Solzhenitsyn fund,
set up by the Nobel laureate to aid families of Soviet
political prisoners.
The attack came in the form of a lengthy article
sardonically titled "Antoniv and Cleopatra," which
appeared on page three of the newspaper published by
the Oblast Committee; of the Communist Party of
Ukraine. The article was bylined M. Toropovsky.
Written in the sneering and vindictive tone typical of
Soviet pieces on dissidents, the piece charges Mrs.
Krasivska with misappropriating funds intended for
dissidents and their families, and squandering it on
frivolous indulgences such as travel and nights out on
the town.
The fund, officially called the Russian Social Fund,
was established by novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Dissident profile
Zinoviy Krasivsky:
undaunted by ill-health, exile
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Like
countless other Ukrainians of his
generation, imprisoned Helsinki
monitor Zinoviy Krasivsky, a 53-
year-old invalid, experienced the
wrath of the Soviet judicial system at
an early age.
In 1947, when he was 18, he was
sentenced to five years in a labor
camp after attempting to escape from
Kazakhstan, where he and his family
had been exiled along with thou­
sands of others from western U-
kraine.
Today, Mr. Krasivsky, a poetpnd
philologist, is once again in exile,
banished from his native Ukraine. A
biographical sketch of his life reveals
a man dedicated to the ideal of
Ukrainian independence and one
who, like many others, has paid
dearly for his nationalist convictions
and his courageous actions for his
country.
While serving his exile term, Mr.
Krasivsky worked in the mines where
he was severely injured in an accident
and declared an industrial invalid.
After completing his sentence, he
returned to Lviv, where he graduated
from the university and embarked on
his literary career. He published
several bibliographical works and
had prepared a historical novel.
In the mid-1960s he became one of
the co-founders of the ill-fated U-
krainian National Front along with
Dmytro Kvestko and the late Vasyl
Diak. The group openly advocated
Ukrainian independence through
non-violent, constitutional and legal
means.
The activities of the group were
limited to a memorandum sent to the
first secretary of the Ukrainian
Communist Party demanding Ukrai­
nian independence and the publica­
tion of a journal. Freedom and the
Fatherland.
Between 1964 and 1966, 15 issues
of the journal came out, and Mr.
Krasivsky was an important contri­
butor. Some of his verses were
published in the journal, the 14th
issue of which has just recently
reached the West (see The Weekly,
August 15).
In March 1967 he was arrested and
sentenced to five years' prison, seven
years' labor camp and five years'
internal exile under Articles 62
("anti-Soviet agitation and propa­
ganda") and 56 ("betrayal of the
fatherland") of the Ukrainian Cri­
minal Code.
Mr. Kvestko received a 20-year
labor camp and exile term. He is
scheduled to be released in 1987.
In 1971, a "cell case" was brought
against Mr. Krasivsky while he was
in the notorious Vladimir Prison for
"manufacturing and circulating,
orally and in writing, verses of a
nationalist content, in particular, the
poem 'Apocalypse.' "
As a result, early in 1972, he was
sent to the Serbsky Psychiatric
Institute for examination and was
'deemed mentally incompetent. He
was first sent to a special psychiatric
hospital in Smolensk, and in 1976 he
was transferred to a general psychia­
tric hospital in Lviv.
He was deprived of all his visiting
privileges during his confinement.

and subjected to forced "treatment"
with heavy doses of debilitating drugs.
While Mr. Krasivsky was hospita­
lized in Lviv, an Amnesty Interna­
tional group managed to place a call
to the facility and was told that Mr.
Krasivsky's health "was satisfac­
tory." An unidentified hospital
spokesman countered AI's assertion
that Mr. Krasivsky sounded men­
tally sane in his letters by remarking,
"But you are so far away."
His health deteriorating rapidly,
Mr. Krasivsky was finally released
from the mental hospital in 1978. He
was suffering from severe stomach
ulcers as well as from spinal and head
injuries.
Unable to practice his profession,
his movements were restricted and he
was required to remain in the care of
a psychiatrist. His two sons were
treated like social pariahs. Finally, he
and his second wife, Olena Antoniv,
formerly married to dissident Vya-
cheslav Chornovil, applied for per­
mission to emigrate, a request that
was flatly denied.
In the late summer of 1979, Mr.
Krasivsky joined the Ukrainian
Helsinki Group. On March 20,1980,
he was rearrcsted during the Krem­
lin's pre-Olympic sweep of dissi­
dents.
Although no charges were for­
mally brought against him, he was
accused of having feigned mental
illness to avoid completing his 1967
sentence, even though it was the
Serbsky psychiatrists who main­
tained he was insane. Because of this,
he was forced to serve the remainder
of his previous 17-year sentence,
consisting, of 10 months in a labor
camp and five years' internal exile.
He completed his labor-camp term in
November T980. He is currently in
exile in Perm, a city in northern
Russia. "
Because of his extremely poor
health, Amnesty International has
placed him on its "urgent action" list.

Rift in pro-Soviet ranks turns violent
as guerrillas report new military gains
KABUL, Afghanistan - A rift
between Afghan government army
officers and pro-Soviet president Ba-
brak Karmal may be turning violent as
several sources here have reported an
August 5 shoot-out in the presidential
palace between dissident military men
and those loyal to the regime.
The news comes amid persistent
reports that recent guerrilla attacks in
the strategic Panjshir valley north of the
capital have routed Soviet and Afghan
government troops. In addition, Afghan
freedom fighters recently stormed a jail
in the town of Kandahar, freeing 80
inmates.
According to The Economist, the
palace violence reportedly left eight
senior members of the Afghan Commu­
nist Party dead. Several reports said
that President Karmal himself was
wounded in the gun battle.
Those Afghan officers still left are
unhappy with the government's recent
decision to prolong the period of service
in the army from two years to three. The
decision has contributed to mass defec­
tions from the army to the ranks of the
urban guerrillas. The army had already
shrunk to a quarter of its former size of
80,000 men.
Radio Moscow, citing Graham,
dismisses supporters of Siberian 7
LONDON - For the first time
Radio Moscow has commented about
one of the Soviet Union's longstanding
nemeses: the "Siberian Seven," two
Siberian Pentecostal families who have
resided in the American Embassy in
Moscow for more than four years in an
attempt to emigrate to the West, report­
ed the East/West News Service.
During the August 4, English-lan­
guage broadcast, Soviet commentator
Boris Bolitsky referred to the Vash-
chenkos and Chmykhalovs as "some
Pentecostals." Mr. Bolitsky said he was
responding to a letter written by Allan
Moulden of Oldham, Lancashire, En­
gland. Mr. Moulden has long supported
the London-based Campaign to Free
the Siberian Seven. The letter was
addressed to Radio Moscow.
In response, Mr. Bolitsky accused
Keston College, a British religious
rights organization, of circulating false
information. At the same time the
commentator praised American evan­
gelist Billy Graham, citing his com­
ments as the "testimony of an unim­
peachable witness."

The unreliability of the Afghan army
has persuaded the Soviets to take the
brunt of the fighting in Afghanistan.
Some 8,000 Soviet troops and 4,000 of
their Afghan allies were forced to
retreat to the entrance of the Panjshir
valley during the recent fighting there.
Despite employing hundreds of ar­
mored vehicles, 20 aircraft and 200
helicopters in the battle, eyewitnesses
have reported that the Soviets failed to
kill or capture many of the 3,000 or so
guerrillas based there.
Increased frustration and the un­
reliability of their allies have led the
Soviets to be more indiscriminate in
their tactics. Hundreds of civilian
casualties were inflicted when Soviet
planes bombed Kandahar in January.
The Soviets recently destroyed six
villages north of Kabul, and are alleged
to have murdered about 2,000 peasants
in a sweep of Logar province to the
south.
Despite the recent airlifting of 10,000
additional troops into Afghanistan, the
Soviets are still able to control only the
urban areas and protect their installa­
tions in the frontier.
A spokesperson for Keston defended
the center's credibility. "We cannot
accept these accusations," she said.
"They are made without any evidence to
back them up."
Keston has, iirthepast, been slandered
in the Soviet press. The center spokes­
person regarded this as proof that the
truth was being reported. "These attacks
would not be made on us if we were
doing a bad job," she said.
In traditional Soviet style the Radio
Moscow broadcast made only a passing
reference to the Pentecostal families.
The reporter went on to say that Pente-
costals were a "sect" whose "rituals have
all too often had the most tragic conse­
quences in terms of human health and
even life."
The program explained that the
Soviet government had to be careful
before permitting the Pentecostals to
emigrate, ensuring that "these people
would be well treated over there (in the
United States)." Mr. Bolitsky cited the
fate of some sects and their members:
the "bloodbath of Jonestown in

ACTION ITEM
Letter to the editor of The New York
Times
The New York Times printed а
letter by George M. Raymond on
Monday, August 30, which made
reference to the efforts of Ukrainians
for independence from the Soviet
Union. In order to understand the
context of Mr. Raymond's com­
ments, the full text of the letter has
been reprinted as it appears in the
Times.
To the Editor
It is remarkable how little of the
recent enormous outpouring of words
concerning the "Palestinian" pro­
blem deals with the essentials so
clearly set forth by Ranaan Weitz
("Meeting Israeli and Palestinian
Needs," Op-Ed Aug. 18).
Reconciliation of all the peoples
inhabiting the territory of the old
Palestine Mandate and their ability
to co-exist in peace, rather than
"autonomy" or "statehood," is the
key. The problem will have been
truly solved when Palestinian separa­
tism is viewed with the same amuse­
ment as that with which the world
views Scottish separatism in Great
Britain, Breton separatism in France
or Ukrainian separatism in the
USSR.
Mr. Weitz's proposed federative
union is the most practical format
offered so far. The main obstacle is
the refusal of moderate Arab leaders
in Israel and the "occupied terri­
tories" to cooperate in the formula­
tion of constructive solutions out of
fear of terrorist retribution. Now that
the principal source of terrorism is
off balance, the objective of U.S.,
West European and U.N. policies
should be to create conditions that
would make it difficult for Arab
leaders not to cooperate and for
terrorists to achieve credibility.
. Thus, continued aid to Israel could
be used to nudge it toward full civil
rights, civil liberties and equality of
opportunity for its minority popula­
tions, backed by constitutional pro­
tections and non-discrimination sta­
tutes similar to our own.
Economic aid could be targeted to
those Arab communities west of the
Jordan River which agree to coope­
rate in the creation of a stable federal
structure. In addition to continued
military and technological aid, the
Orthodox altar boys hold conference
GLEN SPEY, N.Y. - The Altar
Boys' Conference of the Philadelphia
Deanery of the Ukrainian Orthodox
Church was held here at Verkhovyna,
the Ukrainian Fraternal Association's
resort, on August 23-26.
The annual conference, designed to
stimulate a greater awareness and
deeper understanding of the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church also offered a special
treat to the 34 altar boys that attended
for their dedicated service to the
Church. It was organized by the Revs.
Paul Hrynyshyn of Wilmington, Del.,
and Omelan B. Mycyk of Minersville,
Arab nations surrounding Israel
could be offered economic aid suffi­
cient to enable them to grant full
citizenship rights to the"Palestinian"
refugees living in their midst and
enable them to become full partici­
pants in the economic life of their
communities.
It is essential that this type of
pragmatism be substituted for the
ideologies which for 35 years have
nurtured among Israelis an insecu­
rity bordering on paranoia and
among the refugees a sense of se-
parateness from their political en­
vironment and a resentment against
Israel which could be allayed only by
Israel's disappearance.
In embarking on this course,
America would help stabilize the
Middle East and enable it to use its
natural resources to enhance its
civilization rather than for what will
become increasingly unnecessary
armaments and fortifications.
. Continued talk of "Palestinian
autonomy" and "statehood," on the
other hand, may have the side effect
of exacerbating separatist move­
ments elsewhere — as in Yugoslavia,
in Turkey, in Iran, in Iraq, in Spain,
maybe in Britain and in France —
and eventually perhaps even in
Texas.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Remind Mr. Raymond, in a
letter to the editor of the Times, that
following his logic the United States
should never have separated from
England in 1776.
2. The analogy of Ukraine with
various countries' separatist move­
ments is wrong. The USSR is a
political and economic union of IS
countries.
3. The Ukrainian SSR is the fourth
most populous country in Europe. It
is the second largest in area and,
according to the Encyclopaedia Bri-
tannica, is the 10th largest industria­
lized country in the world.
4. Equating the efforts of Ukrai­
nians for independence since the
defeat of the Ukrainian Republic is
highly insulting and an affront to the
millions of Ukrainians who lost their
lives for Ukrainian independence.

Over 1,000 attend UNA Day celebrations in New Jersey

SOUTH BOUND BROOK, N.J. -
Over 1,000 persons attended the 12th
annual New Jersey UNA Day held
Sunday, August 29, on the grounds of

The event was organized by the four
UNA districts of New Jersey, and the

Mr. Baraniuk officially opened the
day's festivities at 2 p.m. by greeting all
present. He then turned the program

Letters to the editor
Don't trust
Soviet scholars
Dear Editor:
It is incredible to read that the Soviets
see the United States as a source of false
information about the "d istinct brotherly
peoples" of the Soviet Union. One
cannot believe that "the Soviets are
miffed about the habit U.S. educators
have of lumping together all the various
nationalities of the Soviet Union." (The
Weekly, May 9, "Scholars focus on
academia's perception of the Soviet
Union, Eastern Europe").
An examination of a recently publish­
ed Soviet art book dedicated to the
1,500th anniversary of Kiev ("Mozayiki
і zhivopis drevnego Kieva, albom,"
Leningrad, Khudozhnik RSFSR, 1982)
reveals that! its Leningrad publishers,
under the direction of academician
Dmitri Likhachev, also share this habit
of the U.S. educators. Kiev, Galich,
Chernigov, Pereyaslav - they are all
the same: Russia, Kievan Russia, Rus­
sian culture with Kiev as its center.
This exclusive edition (its price, large
format, Russian and parallel English
text), apparently aimed at the diplo­
matic and fpreign markets, also con­
tains some prominent misconceptions
about Ukrainian history. Maybe it was
the fault of the Leningrad translator (Iu.
Pamfilova) to use the term Russia to
mean Rus\ but surely it was not acade­
mician Likhachov's "mistake" to por­
tray Moscow as an extension of Kievan
culture and to post-date the start of the
"younger Ukrainian" culture by 500
years, to the Baroque period.
U.S. scholars and politicians who
deal with the Soviets should learn to
identify the real source of false im­
pressions about the Soviet Union.

No such thing as
"pure scholarship"
Dear Editor
It was a pleasure to read about the
25th anniversary celebration of the
Harvard Ukrainian Studies Fund, as
was brought to our attention by The
Weekly's printing of Dr. Sevcenko's
commemorative address. One does not
have to be in agreement with every
institute policy and practice, as I am
not, in order to acknowledge that the
establishment of the institute — parti­
cularly in light of our historical record
of successes and failures — has been
nothing short of a minor miracle. And it
is for this reason that the names of
people like Mr. Chemych and Dr.
Pritsak will deservedly go into a Ukrai­
nian history.
This said, I wish to comment on two
points raised in the Sevcenko ad­
dress. First, Dr. Sevcenko argues that'
material support of the'Ukrainian
scholarly enterprise at Harvard is the
best investment of our community's
resources (because "pure scholarship" is
"our best political weapon"). Although,
given the occasion, it is not surprising to
find that Dr. Sevcenko expressed such
a view, I think it would probably be
more accurate to say that Harvard is use of the term "pure" scholarship is of
one of the best rather than the best course his belief that scholarship cannot

prise would have, and this, too, must be
a top priority for us. I am not implying
that Harvard ought to get less support
than it has been getting - i t both
deserves and requires more, particularly
so that it can continue to subsidize
projects such as the summer school It is
just that there are also other, more
direct political priorities, a point which
I trust would be acknowledged by Dr.
Sevcenko as well.
The second issue raised by the ad­
dress and provoking comment is both
more controversial and ultimately more
important than the first. The central
theme of the professor's address is that
in highly developed societies, there is a
fundamental division of labor between
"pure" scholarship and political acti­
vity, Le., that there are people, who
engage in one and others who engage
only in the second; and, furthermore,
that not only is this differentiation
desirable but that the "Ukrainian elite in
the diaspora is mature enough to afford
such a division of labor." j wrote a book about how certain types of
I have to assume that Dr. Sevcenko
considers the United States a Highly
developed society. If so, then his asser­
tions simply become incomprehensible.
Where did Henry Kissinger come from
if not from Sevcenko's own j Har­
vard? And where did Zbigniew Brze-
zinski come from if not from Colum­
bia? And these certainly are not excep­
tions. There are literally thousands of
men and women who have in the past
and will continue into the future to
circulate among academia, government
and the private sector. Furthermore,
the people who do so are highly prized
rather than looked down upon; and this
is true even in disciplines as theoretical
as philosophy. One of my philosophy
professors at Columbia had served in
the Johnson administration and every­
body thought that this was a real feather
in his cap.
So, it simply is not true that elites in
highly developed societies either engage
in or think it desirable to engage in some
sort of strict division of labor between
academic pursuits and politics of go­
vernment.
Then, there is the matter of the "pure"
scholarship that Dr. Sevcenko touts.
What in the world is pure scholarship?
Is there, therefore, such a thing as impure
scholarship? In all of my readings on
methodological issues relating to his­
tory or the social and natural sciences, I
do not ever remember coming across
the term "pure" being applied in con­
nection with scholarship or science in
any of the discussions. There are dis­
putes about what is and is not good
science or scholarship, or about what
the difference is between real science or
scholarship and pseudo-science or
scholarship, but not about purity. Thus,
for example, although people disagree
strenuously about whether Marx was
right or wrong about various things, no
one ever argues about whether his
scholarship was pure or impure, and
this despite the fact that of course every
one knows how political Marx was. -
Similarly, no one ever talks about the
physics, mathematics or chemistry
done during the atom bomb building
project of 1944-5 as "impure" science or
scholarship because it was ordered by a
government for blatantly military and
political purposes.
The real issue behind Dr. Sevcenko's
political. But what does this actually
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1982
parity?
Actually, concern about purity is
completely misguided. The reason that
no one other than Dr. Sevcenko worries
about it is because it is virtually im­
possible to distinguish between science
or scholarship that can have political
impact'and that which cannot. And
even in all of those cases in which it is
obvious that scholarship does have a
political dimension, as exemplified by
all of the works done on virtually every
major American campus which is subsi­
dized by the Defense Department, there
is little if any concern about the "purity"
of the scholarship so subsidized.
If, by chance, Dr. Sevcenko was
thinking of political scholarship as that
which is polemical, then even in this
case it is difficult to see how his position
can-be defended. I will cite but two ex­
amples.
' Several years ago, one of the coun­
try's leading political theorists, Michael
Walzcr (who at the time was at Harvard
but has since moved to Princeton),
wars are morally justified and others
not, and in which he argued that the wars
which Israel had fought fall into the first
category. Dr. Walzer is Jewish, so, was
he being political? I do not know, but
the point is that no one worried about
that. Some attacked his work while
others defended it, but this was done on
the basis of its merits and demerits
rather than on the question of whether
or not it was political.
And the last example pertains to
Lucy Dawidowicz. In 1981 she publish­
ed a book titled "The Holocaust and the
Historians" in which she denounces
much of the scholarship done around
the world on the Nazi Holocaust, other
than her own and that of a few others, as
being defective, dishonest, politically
biased and so on. The book is highly
polemical. Is it political? Once again, I
do not know, but whether or not it is did
not seem to be a concern to Dr. Sev­
cenko's colleagues insofar as it was the
Harvard University Press which pub­
lished the book.
The reason any of this is important is
that Dr. Sevcenko is a high official of
the Ukrainian Institute at Harvard and
thereby in a position to help shape
policy. It is highly counterproductive if
people such as he, who are in a position
to guide others, entertain illusions
about some type of imagined purity in
scholarship, when no one else does.
Are we, so to say, trying to be more
Catholic that the pope? Where Dr.
Sevcenko is of course 100 percent right
is when he says that scholarship
associated with the institute must be
first-rate and of impeccable quality. But
it is a huge mistake to think that first-
rate scholarship has anything to do with
some type of mythical purity. It has
rather to do with intellectual integrity,
power and imagination. But I am
certain that on this we would agree.

"The" Ukraine
is poor English
Dear Editor:
Referring to the letter from Mr.
Roman Zabihach, I suggest that no
discussion is necessary. The use of the
definite article "the"before "Ukraine"is
bad English.
I refer to the discussion of this matter
in the fifth paragraph on page 3 of
"Ukraine, Rus', Russia and Muscovy; A
Selected Bibliography of the Names" by
Andrew Gregorovich. The reference is
as follows:
"A list of seven titles has been in­
cluded touching on the question of the
7
use in the English language of the article
'the' before 'Ukraine.' This curious
problem has attached itself firmly to
English usage although 4he' is actually
superfluous, awkward and unnecessary
before the name Ukraine. The form the
Ukraine' is often used by persons whose
native language is not English.' The
Ukrainian language has no article and
the question of using it properly is
difficult for Ukrainian speakers. Signi­
ficantly all seven articles listed re­
commend use of the name Ukraine
without the.'"

UCCA: norightto
liquidate branch
Dear Editor:
The Ukrainian daily newspaper
America, issue No. 109, dated June 17,
published an announcement that the
current administrative board of the
Ukrainian Congress Committee of
America has taken steps to;dissolve the
Metropolitan Detroit Branch. In regard
to this arbitrary termination, the exe­
cutive board of Metro Detroit Branch
wishes to apprise the Ukrainian com­
munity of the following letter that was
dispatched to the UCCA headquarters
on May 21.
Dear Sirs:
Your letter dated 7th of April, 1982,
was received and studied on the 21st of
April, 1982. The thematic thrust of
liquidation in your letter was the subject
of deliberations during a General As­
sembly meeting held by our Detroit
Branch on April 30, 1982, having a
representation of 52 delegates and 33
organizations. The subsequent decision
that was unanimously approved was
within the compliance of UCCA By-
Laws, Article 5, Section 4, that indeed
the UCCA Administrative Body was
unduly and not legally established
during the 13th UCCA Congress and
that, therefore, the existing administra­
tion does not have jurisdictional autho­
rity to dissolve the Metro UCCA Branch
of Detroit.
This message was respectfully sub­
mitted, signed by the Detroit chairman
and two members of the board.
The decision to dissolve UCCA
branches in San Francisco, Philadel­
phia and Detroit is a capricious and
compelling indication that the leader­
ship in the UCCA is more interested in
exacerbating the 13th Congress conflict
than taking a posture of unification of
Ukrainians in UCCA affiliates.
The Metro Detroit Branch, with full
conformity of approved action by the
general assembly, wishes to remain an
active component of the UCCA struc­
ture, and in the interest of unification,
calls upon the existing UCCA admi­
nistration to change its immediate
position. We are urging that this body
apply all efforts, in the spirit of national
brotherhood, towards a common goal
of unity in the entire Ukrainian com­
munity of America.
, Furthermore, it must remain perfect­
ly clear that the Metro Branch of De­
troit was founded by an amalgam of
interested Ukrainian organizations in
June 1941 and was the first to enter the
UCCA framework on the national level.
The Metro Branch has fulfilled and
continues to fulfill the viable function of
a representative and coordinating
council. For more than 40 years, this

as Hadzhibej. Dr. Zyla further states
that the name Odessa stems from the
name Odysseus or Ulysses, who was
portrayed in Homer's "Baid."
This classical heritage, to some
degree, and to a greater degree the
seaport's reputation as a great export­
ing center influenced the choice of the
name Odessa in the United States. For
sure, immigrants chose the name "as a
reminder of their homeland city." Yet,
evidence shows that railroad officials,
military officers, businessmen and
settlers who obtained influence tended
to name areas after great cities of the
"old world" in order to raise the stature
and importance of settlements. Often
the characteristics of the land area
influenced its naming. In Odessa's case

Stuban sails the sea
^ scientist of Ukrainian extraction, is
Susan Stuban
SEYMOUR, Conn. - Susan Stu­
ban, a recent graduate of the Merchant
Marine Academy in Kings Point, N. Y.,
set sail recently as the third mate on a
deep-sea oil tanker owned by the Arco
Corp., which will make port in Alaska,
Washington and California.
The 21-year-old Seymour native was
one of 10 in her graduating class of 256
to get seafaring jobs. The other jobs
available were managerial positions,
something Ms. Stuban did not want to
do, reported the New Haven Register.
While on ship, she will work eight
hours a day, half of it navigating the
tanker. She will also supervise loading
and unloading of oil and supervise the
crew when the ship is anchoring. As
third mate, she will be the ship's chief
medical officer. There will be eight
other officers on board and about 25
crewmen.
Because only 44 percent of her gra­
duating class found jobs in the shrink­
ing maritime business, Ms. Stuban

Ukrainian camp snacks Young UNA'ers

featured in newspaper
NEW YORK - Writing about the
snack fare at several ethnic camps in
upstate New York, Daily News food
writer Carol Brock included a few
paragraphs on the Ukrainian Plast
camp in East Chatham, and several
culinary goodies found in the "care"
packages brought there by parents
on visiting day.
One of the snacks mentioned is
pliatsok, a fruit-filled pastry popular
in Ukrainian households. In addition,
Ms. Brock noted that some kids may
get pampushkу, dumplings with fruit
filling. Non-snack foods, she con­
tinued, include such Ukrainian
favorites as varenyky and kabanosy.
Besides including a recipe for
pliatsok, Ms. Brock gave a plug for
the giant Plast jamboree, which got
under way in East Chatham last
week.
