President Ford Hosts Ethnic Media UPA POW's Request Camp
Representatives At White House Inspections, Religious Freedom
NEW YORK, N. Y . - Two former soldiers
of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)
now serving 25-year sentences in various
Soviet penal colonies asked Moscow autho­
rities to allow international humanitarian
organization to inspect the prison camps,
and the third UPA prisoner of war requested
a Belgian priest to help him get permission to
read the Bible.
Copies of the three separate letters, all
written this year, were received here by the
press service of the Ukrainian Supreme
Liberation Council (abroad).
The two letters requesting camp inspec­
tions were signed by Vasyl Pihorodetsky, a
one time member of the UPA general staff of
Gen. Taras Chuprynka, and Dmytro Basa-
rab.
"By signing the Helsinki accord and by
declaring to the entire world the ideas of
peace, peaceful coexistence, and humanism,
the Soviet Union should substantiate these
words with actions," wrote Pidhorodetsky.
Problems and issues of domestic concern in relation to specific interest and pursuit of He said that the International Red Cross

letter addressed to "world humanity, people

Soviet political prisoners requested letters of
support from the West, according to the
"Smoloskyp" Ukrainian Information Ser­
vice.
The letter is replete with descriptions of
their incarceration and the harassment they
endure. They charged in the document that
they were unjustly arrested, tried and
sentenced.
They said that the sole reason they were
imprisoned was because they "did not think
the way others told them to think."
The political prisoners, all confined in the
Mordovian prison camps, listed three major
requests of the West, among them was:

they themselves requested such privileges,"
he concluded.
Basarab said he is joining the move for
international inspection of camps because
the "villainous acts of the camp administra­
tion have grown to extreme measures."
He said that for an appeal he wrote to
government officials, but did not send out,
he was confined in solitary for ten days.
"Personally, I do not have any hope of
being released alive, but I want my voice to
be heard at least once before my death,"
wrote Basarab, who is suffering from a heart
ailment. "Then maybe others will receive
lighter sentences and a more humane
environment will pervail."
In addition to Pidohorodetsky's 25-year
sentence, he also received an extra six years
without freedom.
Stephan Mamchur, who was arrested
only in 1957, wrote his appeal to a Belgain
priest, who is member of the Secretariat of
the International Committee on Security
and Cooperation in Europe.
He complained that since his incarcera­
tion he was denied permission to read the
Bible, and any religious material he did
possess was burned.
When he demanded his religious rights^
which are guaranteed by the Helsinki
accord, wrote Mamchur, he was bruskly
rebufted by the camp administrator who
received his letter.
"I ask you, Reverand Canon, to convince
the Soviet government to allow me to have a
Bible in the camps. This request is blessed
both by God's and man's laws," he wrote.
"demand the end to political repression and
scorn, and the practice of political banish­
ment."
They also requested that Westerners write .
letters to the leaders of the Soviet Commu­
nist Party demanding that the USSR abide
by the Final Act of the Helsinki Accord and
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"Demand our release as a practical sign of
their adherence to the above mentioned
treaties," they said.
They asked that letters be sent to them
with return receipt requested.
The letter was signed by Ukrainians; A.
Yuskevych, V. Ovsiyenko, V. Chornovil, V.
Stus, Z. Popadiuk, Y. Mykytko, and Jewish,
Georgian, Armenian, Estonian and Russian
political prisoners.
The first rally in Sunday's two-part action
was held at the Cenotaph where a solemn
wreath-laying ceremony was held.
Among the speakers were: John Huyda,
president of the Winnipeg UCC branch.
Anthony Yarimovitch. UCC executive
board member, and Rev. Semen Izyk.

On Soviet Arms Build-Up
OTTAWA,Ont.-On Thursday, Octo­
ber 7, the day after president Ford
declared during his debate that Eastern
Europe is not dominated by the Soviet
Union, the Canadian Committee of the
European Captive Nations, Ottawa
branch, organized a lecture on the theme:
"Is the Western world holding Its Own?"
This was held in the new Latvian House
and attended by the presidents, former
presidents and executives of the local
organizations of the Byelorussian, Czecho­
slovak, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian,
Lithuanian, Polish and Ukrainian back­
ground. Senator Paul Yuzyk was also in
the audience.
The lecture was presented by L. J. Zink,
a columnist of the Toronto Sun and former
free-lance commentator of CBC, whom the
branch president, W.H. Pent, introduced
to the audience.
The lecturer presented the balance of
the forces between the western and
communist worlds. He contended that for
the present day conflict we have to
consider two main factors: first, the
means and armament, and second, the
strength of the will of the people and their
leaders.
The Soviet Union has made great
advances in nuclear, chemical, and con­
ventional offensive warfare. In 1972 some
defence analysts in Washington predicted
that the Soviets were planning to intro­
duce 15 new ballistic missile systems
during the decade to 1982. They were
laughed to scorn.
Photographic evidence has been acquir­
ed which suggests that the Soviets are
deploying 10 new land-based ballistic
missiles and three new submarine-launch­
ed missiles. There is also evidence which
suggests they have managed the techni­
que of reloading missile silos, which will
make the task of monitoring any new
SALT agreement even more difficult than
before. The USSR surpassed America in
nuclear throw-weight in 1967; in the total
inter-continental missiles and submarine-
launched missiles in 1970; and in equiva­
lent megatonnage in 1974, said Mr. Zink.
Go v. Carter...

Detroit, Mich, and Atlanta, Ga., accepted
an invitation to meet with Mr. Carter at
Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Friday,
October 15, along with several other ethnic
representatives.
Dr. Borowsky is past president of the
Ukrainian Graduates Club of Detroit and
Windsor, a co-founder and acting chairman
of the Ukrainian American Bar Association,
and has previously appeared on nationwide
television in condemnation of Soviet atro­
cities perpetrated against Christians in
Ukraine and throughout the USSR.
In his brief conversation with Mr. Carter,
Dr. Borowsky asked if he agreed with
Averell Harriman's statement on the 'Today
Show" about the U.S. having no real interest
in Ukraine.
Mr. Carter emphasized in his reply that
Mr. Harriman did not go the the Soviet
Union in behalf of candidate Carter, does
not speak for him, and that Jimmy Carter
speaks for himself. Mr. Carter was then
asked if he supports the principles of human
rights and the right of self-determination for
the people of Ukraine and all the peoples of
the Soviet Empire. To this Mr. Carter
replied:" absolutely, and I always will."
To further clarify his position on this
subject, Dr. Borowsky was provided with
the following position statements which
have been articulated publicly by Mr.
Carter.
In a major foreign policy speech delivered
to the Chicago Council on Foreign Rela­
tions on March 16, 1976, Mr. Carter stated:
"I think that it will strengthen our country
the eyes of the Soviet Union and in the
s of the world and in the eyes of our own
le, if we had an unequivocal commit-
to preserving human rights all over the
within the Soviet Union, behind the
THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY

As for defensive preparations the
Soviet Civil Defense was elevated to the
status of a separate service of the Armed
Forces with the same standing as the
Army, Navy, and the Air Force.
The Soviet Civil Defense service in­
cludes over 600,000 personnel, who are in
turn responsible for surperivising compul­
sory training programs that involve, on a
part-time basis, most of the industrial
workforce. As for industrial dispersion,
since 1966 over two-thirds of ail new
industrial plants have been built outside
the major urban areas. The populace is
now equipped to go underground at short
notice. Some 84 underground command
centers are said to have been completed
around Moscow alone, including four huge
bunkers for the Politbureau and two for
the KGB.
Vast supplies of food are being stored
underground. Outside the city of Kharkiv,
for example, a huge underground silo with
a capacity of 200,000 tons has been
constructed.
America has been contributing directly to
this war chest through the grain sold to the
Soviet, said Mr. Zink.
At a conservative estimate, over 20
billion dollars has been spent on hardening
missile and radar sites during the past five
years. Some missile silos have been
hardened to resist pressure of up to 2,500
pounds per square inch which makes them
the hardest man-made objects in the
world. Comparable silos in America are
constructed to withstand pressures of
only around 175 pounds per square inch.
The second factor, the will for the
defense on the part of the West, is
systematically weakened by the free
press, symphatetic to the leftist causes,
aided by some church affiliations and
various peace movements, said the lectur­
er. While the Soviets are now arriving at
strategic and power superiority, the
Western world may soon be faced with the
choice of surrender or destruction assert­
ed Mr. Zink.
The lecture was followed by a question-
and-answer period and a lively discussion.
Iron Curtain, in countries that ought to be
free and within the rest of the world as well."
"I personally believe that the Soviets
would probably respect us more if we
insisted on our basicv principles in foreign
and domestic affairs that relate to our own
Bill of Rights, to our own Constitution and
one of the main reasons that people have
come to this country over a perio of years."
Mr. Carter said that among the Soviet
actions against ethnic minorities in Eastern
Europe our government should protest are:
"I think that there is good opportunity for
us next year, when we reach the time for the
assessment of the Helsinki progress to point
out in very strong terms that the Soviet
Union has not lived up to the agreement to
permit freer access of Eastern European
citizens toward the free world, nor has it
given the individual human rights that
ostensibly the Soviet Union had agreed to
grant."
"We must reiterate to the Soviets that an
enduring American-Soviet detente can not
ignore the legitimate aspirations of other
nations."
In a speech delivered before the Polish
American Congress on September 25, 1976,
Mr. Carter stated:
"It should be clear by now that I have a
sharply different view from that of Ford and
Kissinger of what our goals should be with
respect to Eastern Europe. I have repeated
consistently that our vision must be one of a
more pluralistic work and not of a Commu­
nist monolith. I take issue with a policy that
essentially ignores Eastern Europe. We must
remember that is not an area of stability and
will not become such until the Eastern
European countries regain their indepen­
dence and become part of a larger, cooper­
ative European framework."
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1976
HAGESTOWN, Md.-Rrecently Ukra­
inian press services in the West received
many reports about increased religious
persecution in Ukraine, along with the
heightened wave of general anti-Ukrainian
repression.
The anti-religion drives of the KGB were
mostly aimed at the destruction of churches,
harassment of priests and faithful, and the
suppression of religious practices.
The following instances of religious
persecution were reported by News From
Ukraine, a quarterly published here by the
Ukrainian Division of the American Friends
of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations.
^ In the Ivano-Frankivske region in
Western Ukraine in the town of Pecheni-
zhyn, teachers in the school did now allow
their students to go to church during Easter.
They kept the students in the classrooms
until six in the evening. When the students
wanted to partake in traditional church
ceremonies in the evening, the teachers,
under direction of the city officials, stood by
the church doors and would not let the
students enter. This action resulted in
several fist fights between the students and
teachers.
^ In April of this year in the city of Lutsk
in north-Volhynia western Ukraine officials
levelled an old Orthodox cemetery contain­
ing the remains of people from the city as
well as from the whole Volhynia region. The
gravestones were removed and the graves
were levelled by bulldozers. The site was
later turned into a park. There were rumors
that the graves of several historical person­
ages of Ukraine were included in the
destruction.
^ During the past Easter season the
Communist party began another crackdown
on the underground Catholic church in
Ukraine. Roadblocks were set up through­
out several regions in Western Ukraine and
the police stopped all cars, buses and
motorcycles in order to look for priests.
Those who were caught were subjected to
various abuses and indignities. Several were
beaten, and one priest lost his hearing after
receiving such a beating. Orthodox priests
Underground Leaflet Calls for Independence

are also persecuted. One Orthodox priest in
the Lviv area was stabbed several times by-
three men and then hung from a ladder near
his house. In many villages an organized
wave of robbery and destruction took place
in the churches immediately before the
Easter season. No attempts were made by
officals to apprehend the criminals.
^ The church of St. Peter and Paul in
Lviv has been closed and boarded up
notwithstanding the historical value of the
church. During the year eighteen churches
have been closed in the Ivano-Frankivske
region in Western Ukraine under various
pretexts by the authorities.
^ During Easter in Kiev police posted
themselves in front of Orthodox churches so
as not to permit young people to enter them.
All those who tried to go into church were
detained by the police and then placed into
police vans. Over 200^ persons were taken to
police stations in this manner. Among these
were several Komsomol members.
^ In June a Ternopil court in Western
Ukraine sentenced two men, Mykhailo
Ozerny and I.H. Stulkivsky, to prison terms
for their activities as Jehovah's Witnesses.
The court accused the men of "anti-Soviet
propaganda" and sentenced Ozerny to 5-
years in prison and his "helper" Stulkivsky
to 3-years. Ozerny was arrested in 1965 and
sentenced to 6-years in Mordovian concen­
tration camps for "anti-Soviet nationalistic
propaganda and agitation." After serving
his term, he had been subjected to constant
harassment by the KGB. In passing the
present sentence on him, the court had noted
his past record of "nationalist propaganda."
^ Until recently there were three Othodox
seminaries in Ukraine: in Kiev, Lutsk, and
Odessa. Both the Kiev and Lutsk seminaries
have been shut down. The Moscow council
of religious affairs has been creating difficul­
ties for those who wish to study theology. In
many instances Ukrainians who want to
attend the Odessa seminary are sent to
Zagorsk or Leningrad in Russia, while
Russians are sent to Odessa. In the Odessa
seminary almost all instruction is done in
Russian.
The lull text of the leaflet is as follows:
Ukrainian Independece!
Moscow plunders the natural riches of
Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Central­
ism is coercion. The policies of Ukraine
should be and will be made in Kiev, not
Moscow.

your own house, then fight for Ukrainian
independence!

Ukrainian organizations took part in the
afternoon ceremonies.
The new building was also the site of a
meeting of the Ukrainian National Council
at 5:00 p.m. that day. Chaired by Ivan
Kedryn-Rudnytsky, the Council's president,
the session was attended by Mr. Liwytzkyj

League of Ukrainian Patriarch Josyf Blesses
New Church In Mississauga
Catholics Meets in Convention
MT. POCONO, P a . - T h e 38th annual
national convention of the League of
Ukrainian Catholics convened at Mt. Airy
Lodge, Mt. Pocono, Pa., October 15th
through the 18th, with mother nature
providing a spectacular background of color
foliage and cool sunny days.
There were many innovations introduced
at this convention besides the regular closed
and open business sessions. In keeping with
the new apostolic image, invitations were
extended to all recognized Ukrainian Catho-
li: lay organizations to participate, and
special meetings were arranged for this
purpose, thus strengthening the bonds
among church organizations.
It was the first time in LUC history that a
"Lay Person of the Year" award was
presented for outstanding contributions to
the Ukrainian Catholic Church of America.
A panel of judges, consisting of five religious
and five lay people, was charged with the
responsibility of reviewing the many re-
sumes received.
The recipient of this year's award was
Joseph Novak, a parishioner of the Patron-
age of B.V.M. Church in Cleveland, O. His
pastor is Rev. John D. Oryshkewych. Mr.
Novak is also the national treasurer of LUC.
The award, a beautiful Ukrainian hand-
carved plaque, was presented by the
League's president, Anna Kupczak.
The South Anthracite Council, hosts of
the convention, had many interesting fea-
tures to break the heavy business schedule.
On Friday evening, the conventioneers
were invited to an "Old Time Ukrainian
Wedding and Reception." The gifts that
were presented to the bride and groom were
auctioned off on Sunday afternoon, with the
proceeds going to the Bishop Stock Burse
Fund.
Reporter Analyzes U.S. Stand on Eastern
Europe in View of President's Statement
WASHINGTON, D.C.— In an analytical
article about foreign affairs in the 1976
Presidential campaign, Leslie H. Gelb wrote
in the Tuesday, October 26th edition of The
New York Times that statements and
misstatements about Eastern Europe by
both candidates has made that area of the
world a campaign issue for the first time
since 1952.
Gelb wrote that the campaign speechmak-
ing is more intended to capture ethnic votes,
and that the rhetoric rarely coincides with
actual policy.
"The consensus among officials and
politicians is that the issue is a spurious
one—that is has more to do with ethnic
politics and votes than actual differences of
policy," said Gelb. "Eastern Europe, like the
Middle East, is generally regarded as one of
those issues where public speechmaking and
private reality rarely, if ever merge."
Gelb went on to say that politicans and
diplomats "have always felt that they have to
say they are doing everything in their power
to free 'captive' nations from the yoke of
Soviet domination. Privately, the policy
discusstion has been more complicated."
President Ford's remark that there
is "no Soviet domination of Eastern Eu-
rope," and Jimmy Carter's statement that he
"would not go to war in Yugoslavia if the
Soviet Union sent troops" placed that
portion of the world in the spotlight for this
campaign, said Gelb.
The Democratic candidate's statement,
however, is viewed "as being in a different
and more serious category," said The Time's
reporter.
"The issue there is not one of 'liberation'
as in the rest of Eastern Europe, but how to
maintain Yugoslav independence from the
Soviet Union," wrote Gelb.
Gelb said that since the end of World War
II, the United States has made attempts to
make life easier for the people of Eastern
Europe. But U.S. foreign policy was also
never to challenge Soviet military control
and never to acknowledge this American
attitude, added the reporter.
THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY
After the auction, members and guests
were entertained by the Byzantine Male
Choir of Mi nersville, Pa. There was a
magnificent Ukrainian cultural display in
the lobby of Mt. Airy Lodge. Each chapter
of the So. Antracite Council had display
tables loaded with embroideries, wood-
carvings, ceramics and "pysanky". The
comments of the other guests at the Lodge,
some of whom had never seen Ukrainian art,
were highly favorable.
Bishop Basil Losten was the main cele-
brant at the Sunday Pontifical Divine
Liturgy, with Rev. John Stevensky, Rev.
Andrew Baunchalk and Rev. John Bi-
lanych, concelebrants.
In his sermon to the members, Bishop
Losten reminded of the three categories
forming the framework of the Catholic
Church: the Church Triumphant, The
Church Suffering, and the Church Militant.
Members and guests participated in the
Liturgy by singing the responses.
The members of the League voted that the
sports rally in 1977 would be hosted by the
Baltimore Council, and in 1978, by the Ohio
Council. Next year's convention will be held
at the Ramada Inn in Clar, N.J., hosted by
the Garden State Council, and in 1978 by the
Western Penna. Council in Pittsburgh.
The activities of the 1976 convention were
brought to a close by a banquet and ball
Sunday evening at which Fr. J. Stevensky,
the League's national spiritual director acted
as master of ceremonies.
Steve Postupack and Paul Hancher, co-
chairmen, and the entire So. Anthracite
Council provided LUC members with an
excellent convention, focus the organization
on the spiritual, cultural and social aspects
which are the theme of the League of
Ukrainian Catholics.
Many high level officials, wrote Gelb, feel
that if Americans would challenge the Soviet
Union on Eastern Europe it would be the
same as if Moscow challenged the U.S. in
Latin America.
Gelb admitted that senior U.S. diplomats
have unofficially told the Kremlin leaders to
ignore campaign speeches about freedom
for Eastern European nations.
"From about 1952, Americans learned to
live with a situation in which the leaders
preached liberation of Eastern Europe only
to stand by and mourn as Soviet troops
crushed rebellions in East Germany in 1953,
in Hungary in 1956, and in Czecho-Slovakia
in 1968," wrote Gelb.
He said that this line of thinking was
politically acceptable until 1975 when
President Ford refused to meet with Alek-
sandr Solzhenitsyn on Dr. Henry Kissin-
ger's advise, and signed the Helsinki agree-
ment, whereby the U.S. pledged to respect
the inviobility of European borders and the
status quo of Eastern Europe.
"Not seeing Mr. Solzhenitsyn was widely
viewed as a political blunder, but accepting
the Helsinki accords was generally regarded
by experts as an honest acknowledgement of
the facts of life," he said.
Gelb wrote that the so-called "Sonnen-
feldt Doctrine" which called for more
"organic relations" between the USSR and
Eastern Europe caused more troubles for
President Ford.
He said, however, that the policy, which
has been in existence since the presidency of
Richard Nixon, is designed "both to avoid
uprisings in which the United States could
do nothing to help and to make Moscow
more tolerant about East European dealings
with the West."
U.S. officials, said Gelb, felt that detente
could serve an independent Eastern Europe
better than a policy of "bridge-building."
"The new Nixon-Kissinger policy of
weaning Eastern Europe toward the West by
detente was tricky and subtle, and thus
politically vulnerable," wrote Gelb.
While Eastern Europe has been in the

New Yorker Protests Soviet
Exhibit In San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.-George W0I0-
shyn, a young New York attorney who is in
San Antonio for Army Reserve training in
For Sam Houston, staged a one-man protest
against a Soviet exhibit here Friday, Octo-
ber 8, "in order to tell the truth about
Siberia."
The exhibit, which will last through
November 4th, attempts to dispel the notion
that Siberia is a barren wasteland. A team of
14 Soviet scientists and other personell are
showing scientific research and resource
development in Siberia.
Mr. Woloshyn told The San Antonio
Light that the exhibit at the Hemis Fair
Plaza was "designed and produced by the
KGB's organ of propaganda" and is intend-
ed to impress people with the "wonders" of
Soviet progress and growth.
"But this is not true," charged Mr.
Woloshyn. "Siberia is where the Russians
have imprisoned millions of people."
The young New York attorney stationed
himself outside the Museum of Transporta-
tion and handed out leaflets that read:
"Welcome to Gulag Archipelago: Grave-
yard of Millions."
In it he cited the repressions which are
currently going on in the Soviet Union.

Reunions Are For Reminiscing,
Say Kobasniuk Tourists Of 1976
by Helen Perozak Smindak
KERHONKSON, N.Y.—Excited chatt-
er, delighted cries of recognition, kisses,
handshakes and bear hugs blended into a
potpourri of Ukrainian togetherness at
Soyuzivka last weekend, October 23-24 as
alumni of the 1976 Kobasniuk Travel group
tours gathered with families and friends for
the agency's annual "Tours to Ukraine"
reunion.
Almost 300 persons - some from as far
away as Florida and Michigan — filled the
Main House and surrounding villas for the
two-day reunion that has become a tradi-
tional weekend at Suzy-Q.
Saturday, guests viewed tour members'
photos and films and relived their visit to
Kiev, Lviv, Poltava, Uzhhorod, Chernivtsi,
Kharkiv, Ternopil and other Ukrainian and
Eastern European cities. Slides were shown
by iPetro Bolonny of Mt. Clements, Mich.,
John Luchechko of Jersey City, Luba
Maziar of Maplewood, N.J., and Andrew
Farmiga of Clifton, N.J., while a color film
of Poltava (with narration and music
included) was shown by Mrs. Ulana Babiuk
of Rochester, N.Y.
Jbi the evening, tourists, decked out in
semi-formal dress, continued their remini-
scences and recollections of meetings with
relatives in Ukraine over cocktails and hors
d'oe4ivres at the bar and during dinner and
dancing in the "Veselka" Pavilion.

THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, OCTOBER31, 1976
"This is sort of a one-man protest. I didn't
think I'd have the courage to stand out there
like this, but somebody has to do it.
Somebody has to tell the other side of the
story," he said.
Mr. Woloshyn said he contemplated the
action for four days. At first he thought that
protesting "would not be a very popular
thing to do." He also feared the possibility of
inviting "bad will" from local residents.
"Finally after a great deal of soul- search-
ing, I decided if the Soviets could stand up
for their principles, I could express my views
too," he said.
Reactions to the protest were mixed wrote
Roddy Stinson in the San Antonio Express
Monday, October 11, but Mr. Woloshyn
said that he had a right to distribute
literature at the exhibit.
"If the Soviets had the right to set up their
propaganda on American soil, I had the
right as an American citizen to stand outside
and freely express myself," he explained.
He said his purpose in the protest was to
show that Americans "are concerned about
the way the Soviet government conducts
itself...that we're not naive about their
tyrannical system. And I think I've done
that."

Philadelphia TV Station To Air
Special Program on Ukrainians
Special Two-Part Documentary
Set For November 5 and 12
PHILADELPHIA, P a . - T h e heritage of
the Ukrainian people involves a paradox of
places and things — from the homeland to
the settlement in Shamokin, Pa., from
intricately-decorated Easter eggs and com-
plex folk dances to intense political demon-
strations, from devotion to the Church to an
equally religious devotion to the family.
With the Ukrainian population 50,000
strong in the Delaware Valley, Channel 10's
award-winning documentary series returns
for a new season with a special two-part
program on this unique culture: "Eye On...
A Struggle for Identity," Part I: "The
Legacy," Friday, November 5, (7:30-8:00
p.m.), Part 2: "The Inheritors," Friday,
November 12 (7:30-8:00 p.m.).
Filmed over a 10-month period in places
as diverse as Washington, D.C., Shamokin,
a resort in the Ca^skill Mountains in New
York and the Ukrainian pocket in Philadel-
phia, "Eye On..." investigates the history of
the Ukrainian people in Part 1 "The Lega-
cy," and charts the future of the Ukrainian
culture in America in Part 2, "The Inherit-
ors."
"The Legacy" shows the difference be-
tween the Ukrainians' two major migrations
to the United States: the first one of the
peasant farmers arriving in the late 19th
century, who mostly settled around the
mines of upstate Pennsylvania. They largely
merged into the ethnic mix of America
forgetting the language of their homeland.
The second migration was of political
exiles after World War II who were intent on
keeping up Ukrainian traditions, culture
and language. In addition, they are political-
ly active, being very concerned with politics
in Soviet-ruled Ukraine and with American
foreign policy.
Carteret Orthodox Parish
To Mark Triple Anniversary
CARTERET, N.J.—Solemn observance
of America's Bicentennial, the Centennial of
the settlement of the Ukrainian immigrants
on the American soil and the 65th jubilee of
the founding of the St. Demetrius Ukrainian
Orthodox Cathedral will take place on
Saturday, November 6, with a banquet-
dance starting at 5:00 p.m. in the St.
Demetrius Ukrainian Community Center
and on Sunday, November 7, with a Pontifi-
cal Divine Liturgy starting at 9:30 a.m. in the
St. Demetrius Cathedral.
An anniversary committee, with Archbi-
shop Mark and the Very Rev. Peter Melech
as honorary chairmen and Andrew Hedesh,
president of the board of trustees and church
committee as chairman, Charles Stokes as
co-chairman, have been working diligently
for several months in planning for these
three anniversaries. Also, sub-committees
on the anniversary jubilee book, cultural
concert program, dance and refreshments,
decorating, banquet-dinner, and tickets
have been making every effort to see that the
observances are disnified.
Neighboring Ukrainian Orthodox parish-
es, headed by their pastors, as well as the
representatives of local municipal and state
government, the Democratic and Republi-
can parties, U.S. Senate and Congress, and
Ukrainian religious and civic organizations
are expected to participate in the celebra-
tion.

"The Inheritors" looks at the ways Ukra-
inians in America try to preserve the legacy.
Ukrainian children are encouraged to
belong to Ukrainian scout troops, to attend
Saturday Schools that teach Ukrainian
language and customs, to vacation at
Soyuzivka, the Ukrainian National Assocai-
tion's estate in the Catskills and to "come
out" at the Ukrainian debutante balls.
The inheritors are politically militant,
which is illustrated by their demonstration
last summer near the Soviet Embassy in
Washington for the release of Valentyn
Moroz.
"Eye On..." also shows exclusive film
footage of the first American conference
given by Leonid Pliushch after his release
from a Soviet psychiatric "hospital." Ukra-
inians in the Delaware Valley added their
voices to the intense public outcry heard
around the world that instigated Pliushch's
release.
And, "Eye On..." looks at the religion, art
and literature that are a large part of the
backbone of the Ukrainian community.
Visits to both Catholic and Orthodox
churches show how religion preserves the
Ukainian traiditions.
There is beautiful film footage of the folk
dances and crafts, embellished by the
plaintive music of the bandura.
"Eye On...A Struggle for Identity" is a
production of the Program Department of
WCAU-TV: Geoffrey Haines-Stiles, execu-
tive producer; Erna Akuginow, producer;

president of the board of trustess and church
committee, will act as master of ceremonies.
Prof. Dimitri Zazworsky and Mrs. Har-
old Luczak are in rharge of the entertain-
ment program which will consist of Ukrain-
ian American songs, Ukrainian folk danc-
ing, and a few numbers by the St. Demetrius
junior orchestra.
During the banquet the pioneer founders
of the church and the fallen heroes of the
parish during World War II will be honored
in a special dedication ceremony.
After the banquet, the dance will begin at
9:00 p.m. to the tunes of the "Rhythm and
Brass" band.
The religious observance will begin on
Sunday with the escorting of Archbishop
Mark from his residence to the Cathedral by
a procession with church banners, sub-
deacons, altar boys and clergy of the New
York-New Jersey Deanery. He will be
welcomed at the entrance of the Cathedral
by Mr. Hedesh with bread and salt and by
the Rev. Melech, assistant pastor, and
Protodeacon Volodymyr Polischuk, with
the cross and holy water.
After the ceremony of the yestment of the
Archbishop, the Divine Liturgy will begin
with the St. Demetrius Church choir, under
direction of Prof. Zazworsky singing the
responses. The sermon in Ukrainian and
English will be delivered bv Archbishop
Mark.
After the Divine Liturgy, brunch will be
served for ail participants in the St. Demetri-
us Center.
On the occasion of these festivities a
jubilee book has been published, which is
dedicated to the three anniversaries, to the
founders of the church and to the fallen
heroes of World. War II.

Three Ukrainians Vie For Public Office
(Three Ukrainians Americans are currently in the race for various public offices, both on the Federal and State levels. They are: Stephen
Postupack, candidate for the U.S. Congress from Pennsylvania's sixth Congressional District, Alice Sivulich, candidate for the U.S.
Congress from Pennsylvania's 15th Congressions District, and Borys Antonovych, candidate for the Illinois State Legislature. Below we are
reprinting their photos and excepts from their platform.)
Stephen Postupack
Stephen Postupack, 45, was born in
McAdoo Pa., and currently resides in
Tamaqua. This is his second bid for the U.S.
Congress. Mr. Postupack received the
Republican Party nomination and was
endorsed by the Republican National
Heritage Groups (Nationalities) Council.
He is active in the Ukrainian community and
cooperates with many Captive Nations
groups in the State and country. Mr.
Postupack is also an avid sportsman and
environmentalist, and has been noted in
various federal publications for his work
and contributions to conservation. He is
married to the former Nancy Yankowicz,
and the couple have seven children, all are
members of the UNA.
Sen. Taft Is Supported By Cleveland
UCCA In Re-Election Bid
CLEVELAND, 0.—Sen. Robert O. Taft,
Jr. (R.-Ohio), a long-time friend of the
Ukrainian people and staunch supporter of
the Ukrainian and other captive nations'
causes, has been given a strong endorsement
by the Cleveland chapter of the Ukrainian
Congress Committee of America in his bid
for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
In announcing the endorsement, the
UCCA chapter here, headed by Atty.
Bohdan Futey, cited Sen. Taft's genuine
interest in the needs and concerns of the
Ukrainian community and his efforts in
behalf of Ukrainian dissidents behind the
Iron Curtain.
A proven friend of all captive nations, of
Central and Eastern Europe, Sen. Taft said
he belives that Soviet adventurism must be
resisted if the world is to find true peace. He
supports and encourages the aspirations for
freedom, independence and national self-
determination of all peoples and does not
accept foreign domination over any nation.
On August 22, 1974, Sen. Taft became one
of the first U.S. legislators to publicly
request the president to intercede on behalf
of Valentyn Moroz.
"I have long supported the administra­
tion's policy of improving relations with the
Soviet Union. But I have also believed that
we cannot, as a price for improved relations,
be silent about Soviet abuses of basic human
rights. The resolution I introduce now is
concerned with such an abuse: the imprison­
ment of Mr. Valentyn Moroz," said Sen.
Taft on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
The Ohio Senator also received the
Shevchenko Freedom Award January 1974
from the UCCA for his persistent appeals on
behalf of Ukrainians.

Alexander MyshuhcL..
(Continued from page 6)
These confusions came about when the
artists became closely associated with the
musical life in Poland, Italy, or Germany
and their own origin became somewhat
obscured, even redundant, for reviewers
or later biographers. Myshuha and Kru-
shelnytska, for example, were often
depicted in press notices as Poles. At the
same time, however, they and Menzinsky
were regarded by their own countrymen
as exemplary Ukrainian patriots.
Life and Career Highlights
Lyric tenor Alexander Myshuha was born
on June 19, 1853, in Novyi Vytkiv, Western
Ukraine, and studied with Walerian Wysoc-
ki (teacher of S. Krushelnytska, A. Didur,
Josef Mann, Eugenia Strassern) at the Lviv
Conservatory, later supplementing his
training in Nice and Milan. Like the other
Ukrainian singers, he enjoyed a long and
impressive career. Myshuha made his debut
in Lviv, 1880, when he appeared in Moniusz-
ko's "Haunted Manor." In 1883 he appeared
successfully at the Forli Theatre, Italy, in
Flotow's "Marta." The press was enthusias­
tic, and Myshuha continued touring the
country appearing at Milan, Turin, Nice and
Florence with both popular and critical
acclaim.
In 1883-84 he was back in Lviv with a
contract at the Polish opera house there and
in 1884 started his extremely successful
appearances at the Warsaw Grand Theater
as first tenor. His regular Warsaw appear­
ances lasted untif 1892 and after that year he
was to return to the Grand Theatre many
times as guest artist.
In 1912, the now aging singer was invited
to sing at the 700th performance of Mo-
niuszko's "Halka" at the theater where his
performance of the part of Jontek was
considered ideal.
Here Myshuha enjoyed not only excep­
tional audience approval but also critical
adulation and here both fans and reviewers
put him on par with Caruso and Battistini.
Critic Josef Reiss claimed Myshuha was
unsurpassed in his interpretations of Mo-
niuszko's opera.
Myshuha's successes in central Europe
included Vienna and Prague. In February
1885 he guested at the Vienna Imperial
Opera in leading parts "Favorita," "Rigo-
letto" and "Lucia di Lammermoor." His first
appearance as Fernando in "Favorita" was
on February 5th. Up to that time Myshuha
sang in Italian, Polish and Ukrainian, but in
Vienna he was required to perform in
German. The press had reservations as to his
accent but otherwise the reviews were
excellent.
"Neues Wiener Tablatt" of February 6th
spoke highly of the tenor's supple and
resonant voice, while "Neue Freie Presse"
(same date) noted the sweetness of tone
adding that "his singing showed excellent
Italian training by which Myshuha could
deliver all the fine lyric parts with taste and
feeling."
(This and the following quotations are
from the Kiev 1971 collection about Myshu­
ha, discussed later.)
Another paper, "Wiener Abenpost"
suggested renewing the opera's repertory
with Myshuha as first tenor. On February
10th Myshuha sang the part of Edgar in
"Lucia" and on the following day "Neues
Wiener Tagblatt" noted with surprise an
unprecedented phenomenon the night be­
fore at the Imperial Opera - applause
before an open curtain. The singer became a
sensation and all seats were sold out. The
influencial critic Edward Hanslick wrote in
"Neue Freie Presse" on March 17,1885, that
"Myshuha captivated his audience with the
sweetness of voice, filled with wondrous
purity of sound and also with his tasteful
delivery...the part of the Duke in "Rigo-
letto" is his best and deserving entirely of the
tumultuous applause received."
In all, Myshuha sang nine leading roles in
Vienna. His success there may be demon­
strated by the fact that the directors of the
Imperial Opera permitted him to sing in
Italian after his initial appearances. (Ger­
man was at the time the official language of
that opear house.) Until that time only
Adelina Patti was granted a similar gesture.
Continuous Fame
Bound by contract with the Warsaw
Opera, Myshuha still made guest appear­
ances elsewhere for he seemed to be continu­
ously in demand. In the 1880's he managed
also to get away to Paris and study with the
celebrated Italian singer Giovanni Sbriglia.
In 1887 Myshuha sang at the Prague
Opera and his success there may have
surpassed his reception in Vienna. "Prager
Abendblatt" of July 14, 1887, described his
performance thus: "Myshuha appeared as
Faust (Gounod) and demonstrated his
facility especially in the aria in the garden.
This wonderful singer put everything into
the part and showed such a span of nuance
and such accomplished use of his wondrous
schooling and artistic taste that his appear­
ance can be considered a real masterpiece of
belcanto." In Prague, Myshuha also appear­
ed as Manrico in "Trovatore" and as Don
Jose in "Carmen" with similar success.
"Narodny Listy" of July 16,1887, noted that
general critical opinion put Myshuha on par
with the greatest singers of all time.
In the period from 1885 to 1905 Myshuha
appeared in many opera houses of Europe
opposite Battistini, Bellincioni, Boronat,
Krushelnytska, Lilli Lehmann and others.
There is much material extant on his St.
Petersburg, Kiev and Lviv performances.
He is believed to have toured London, Paris,
Rome and Berlin but the documetation on
these tours has not been made available.
Myshuha chose his repertory from the
lyrico-dramatic genre and was most success­
ful in the parts of Jontek ("Halka"). Lensky,
Canio, Faust, Cavaradossi, Romeo, Fer­
nando, Turiddu, and Werther.
Leoncavallo heard Myshuha's Canio in
his own "Pagliacci" as performed on Sep­
tember 20th, 1892, in Milan at the season's
opening and presented the tenor with the
score of the opera complete with an inscrip­
tion describing his own "boundless satisfac­
tion with Myshuha's magical singing."
In later years Myshuha taught voice at the
Lysenko Musical-Drama School in Kiev
(1904-11), also opened classes in Warsaw's
Fr. Chopin Advanced Music School (1911-
14), and in Stockholm. Some of his students
claimed their teacher's voice remained
virtually unchanged in later years but this is
disputed. There is evidence that Myshuha
sang in concert with some success even after
World War I. His last performance was in
Freiburg, Germany, on November 2, 1921,
about four months before his death there.

Women Share Culture With Syracuse Residents Gold CfOSS Raises
SYRACUSE, N.U.—Styles may come
and styles may go, whipped by the whims
of capricious fashion designers and fabric
houses.
But one group has managed to follow its
own cultural sense of fashion for almost
2,000 years, while keeping its hemlines
constant and its. genders intact.
Members of the Women's Association for
the Defense of Four Freedom of Ukraine
showed clothing of exquisite materials:
Deep, rich furs, wispy lace, delicate silver
and gold embroidered thread, rich silks,
brocades, velvet and intricate, painstaking
handworked designs.
It was part of a fashion show Saturday,
October 16, beginning at 8 p.m., in the
Ukrainian National Home, the first time
such an affair featuring historical dress
has been sponsored by Ukrainian women.
The show reflected months and years of
work by a group of Syracuse women who
have fabricated a collection of Ukrainian
costumes featuring finely worked details
handed down from generation to genera­
tion.
It's doubtful the haute couturiers of the
top fashion houses in Paris could come up
with anything like it, wrote Paul Walker
in the September 26th edition of Syra­
cuse's Herald-American Empire maga­
zine.
The article was accompanied by 11
black and white photos and one color
cover shot.
The handiwork of these women - who
spend many evenings sewing by machine
and more so by hand - is not just
hemming, basting, and tacking. They
practice a Ukrainian form of embroidery
which produces some of the most beautiful
and intricate designs ever worked on a
piece of plain material.
After they go to work on a garment, the
value may increase by hundreds of dollars
should they decide to sell it.
While traditions and skills practiced by
other cultures may have disappeared, the
work of the Ukrainian seamtresses is still
as evident and as skillful as it ever was.
Their collection of clothing worn by
Ukrainian women as long as the third
century is probably one of the most
beautiful ever seen by Central New
Yorkers.
"One hundred years ago, the first
Ukrainian pioneers came to this country.
We believe it is appropriate in the
Bicentennial year to show this country
what we have done, too," said Maria
Karpyszyn, coordinator of the Women's
Association - Syracuse Chapter.
Mrs. Karpyszyn (who prefers to be
called Maria) is also vice-president of the
Bicentennial Committee.
"Because of the deprivation of the
Ukrainian people under Communist rule
- tney cannot express themselves - we
do г:ч, want to lose our identity, so we've
dec і led to show our culture and history to
the American people," she said.

The "Ukrainian Culture Tour in Cleve­

an area of the first Ukrainian settlement
in Cleveland, and then proceeded by
Parma where the group visited St.

Both priests briefly outlined the early
history of their respective parishes and
explained the meaning of the beautiful
mosaics and iconostases found in both

fully embroidered vestments whose ex­
quisite workmanship astonished all pre­

On the bus, Marusia Popovich, Ukrain­

the history and background of the first
Ukrainian settlements in the United

taught the group to sing two Ukrainian
folk songs.

For Our Children
VESELKA - THE RAINBO W
The Fox And The Crane
Once upon a time, a fox and a crane
lived as neighbors in a forest. One day,
they met and the crane said to the fox:

'If you let me stay with you during
the winter, I will teach you to fly."
"Very well," said the fox.
The fox took in the crane and both
them lived in the fox's den until one
day the hunters learned that both the
fox and the crane lived together in the
den. As soon as the hunters began
digging his hole, the fox asked the
crane:
" H o w many thoughts do you have
in your m i n d ? "
" T e n " , said the crane, " a n d y o u ? "
"One".
" H o w many thoughts do you have
in your mind?
"Nine and y o u ? "
"One".
And once more the fox asked:
" H o w many thoughts do you have
in your m i n d ? "
"Eight and y o u ? "
"One."
And so the fox kept on asking the
crane how many thoughts he had in his
mind and the crane kept on answering
one less each time, until the fox asked:
" H o w many thoughts do you have
in your m i n d ? " and the crane replied:
"One."
The crane also asked the fox how
many thoughts he had in his mind, and
the fox replied: " O n e , " and then asked
the crane " A n d what is that one
thought?"
"Well, it's like t h i s , " replied the
crane. " W h e n the hunters finally dig

lying there as if it was dead. They pick­

" H o w about that, the fox has alrea­

Let's find the fox."
They had no sooner spoken these
words when the fox ran out of the hole
as fast as he could. Immediatedly the
hunters took after the fox and the
crane flew away.
After this incident the crane and the
fox became very close friends. One day
they were together and the fox said:
"Since I took you in for the winter,
teach me how to fly!"
"Very well," said the crane, "Sit on

crane's back and the crane flew a litte
higher and let the fox go.
Upon asking again whether the fox
like to fly, the fox replied: "Yes, very
much." Again the crane told the fox to
sit on its back and again it flew up into
