WCFU launches campaign for release of Shukhevych, Svitlychny

TORONTO — The Human Rights Commission of
the World Congress of Free Ukrainians based here
recently announced that it is launching a campaign in
defense of two Ukrainian political prisoners, Yuriy
Shukhevych and Ivan Svitlychny, both of whom are
reported to be in extremely poor health.
As part of its action, the WCFU commission sent
separate letters to U.S. and Canadian government
officials urging the to "use strongest possible pressure
to persuade the USSR authorities to release these two
men on humanitarian grounds."
The letters were signed by Canadian Sen. Paul
Yuzyk, commission chairman, and Mykola Moros,
executive secretary. In addition, the commission
included short biographies of the two men with details
pertaining to their cases.
In asking for the release of Messrs. Shukhevych and
Svitlychny, the commission noted that both men are
entitled under Soviet law to be released on medical
grounds. Article 100 of the RSFSR Corrective Labor
Code states that prisoners suffering from serious
illnesscan have their sentences commuted. ` '

According to Keston News, the Rev.
Bronius Laurinavicius, a 68-year-old
member of the Lithuanian Helsinki
Group which monitors Soviet com­
pliance with the 1975 Helsinki Accords
on European security and human rights,
died instantly when he was struck by a
truck in the Lithuanian capital last
November 24.
The two eyewitnesses say that shortly
before the accident the Rev. Laurinavi­
cius was approached by four men as he
stood on the pavement. It appeared that
he did not know them and did not want
to speak with them. Two of the men
then grabbed the priest by his arms and,
as the truck approached, suddenly
threw him into its path.
At the time of his death, the Rev.
Laurinavicius was the only member of
the Helsinki group still free. Eight other
members are currently serving labor-
camp terms.
Shortly before he was killed, the Rev. to press Soviet authorities to allow them was a tourist here in May 1977.
Laurinavicius had confided to close
friends that he was being shadowed by
the KGB, and that there had been two
previous attempts to have him run over.
Three days prior to his death, articles
attacking the priest appeared in the
daily newspaper Tiesa, the Lithuanian
edition of Pravda.
The Rev. Laurinavicius was the third
Lithuanian priest killed under suspi­
cious circumstances in that Soviet
republic in a period of 14 months. The
Rev. Leonas Sapoka was found brutally
beaten to death in his home in October
1980. According to reports, bruises on
his body indicated that he had been
tortured.
Several months earlier, the body of
the Rev. Leonas Mazeika, 63, was
found in his rectory with multiple stab
wounds. He was a member of the
unofficial Catholic Committee for the
Defense of Believers' Rights.
In addition to the murdered priests,
six others were reported accosted and

More and more Soviet diplomats face

expulsion for espionage activities
WASHINGTON - A recent State
Department study reveals that more
and more Soviet diplomatic and busi­
ness personnel are being booted out of
host countries for engaging in espionage
and other subversive activities, reported
the June 14 edition of The Wall Street
Journal.
Although it is difficult to obtain an
exact number because many Soviet
diplomats are expelled quietly to avoid
unnecessary embarrassment or for fear
of inciting the Kremlin to retaliate in
kind, the State Department reports
that, so far this year, 11 countries have
given the heave-ho to 19 Soviet repre­
sentatives, including a few quasi-official
employees of Aeroflot, the Soviet
airline.
Last year, the report says, 30 Soviet
representatives were expelled world­
wide, most on espionage charges. The
year before, 116 were kicked out, but
that number is misleadingly high,
because 100 of them were expelled in a
single housecleaning by Pakistan.
The Journal reports that the United
States recently ousted a top Soviet
military officer for obtaining classified
information. Canada expelled a Soviet
official after charging that he offered a
businessman "large sums of money" to
buy sensitive, restricted technology.
Even tiny Singapore recently booted a
Soviet diplomat for posing as a Swedish
journalist and trying to buy security
information.
In February, Great Britain tossed out
a Soviet trade official but didn4 an­
nounce the expulsion until April. In
Indonesia, however, the process turned
messy when the expulsion of a Soviet
official was marred by an airport brawl
between Soviet diplomats and Indone­
sian security aides.
Although lack of hard data makes it
impossible to compare recent statistics
with those of previous years, U.S.
analysts agree that the number of recent
departures is bigger than usual. One
State Department analyst said that
there is "sort of a boomlet there," the
Journal reported.

Another disastrous grain harvest has Soviets groping for solutions
NEW YORK - With its economy
already reeling from last year's poor
grain harvest"- so poor that officials
refused to disclose exact figures for the
first time in many years — the Soviet
Union is bracing itself for yet another
disastrous wheat crop, reported The
New York Tunes.
With the summer season just be­
ginning, reports from the vast wheat-.
fields stretching from Ukraine to Ka­
zakhstan indicate that the spears of
winter wheat are stunted and withered.
Experts have estimated that this
year's harvest will total only 158 million
tons, which would be the worst output
since 1975's calamitous yield of 140
million tons. The figure is some SO
millions ton. below the target set by the
Soviet current five year-plan, and
presumes a normal rainfall and sun­
shine for the balance of the crop season,
factors that are anything but certain.
The Times reports that in Ukraine,
the Upper and Lower Volga regions and
in Central Asia, good rains are needed
urgently to offset the terrible effects of a
spring drought. Farther north, in the
Moscow region, last year's searing
summer, the hottest in 100 years, has
been followed this year by a blustery
May and June, with nighttime tempera­
tures dipping below freezing.
Traditionally, the Kremlin has attri­
buted the country's poor harvests to bad
weather rather than on such factors as a
bloated and highly centralized bureau­
cracy, inefficient storing and distribu­
tion systems, the unavailability of spare
parts for farm machinery and poor
allocation of manpower.
But at a special Central Committee
meeting last fall and again at the 26th

by Dr. Myron В. Kuropas
CLEVELAND - Fifteen Carpatho-
Rusyn and Ukrainian community acti­
vists met at John Carroll University on
June 12 to continue the dialogue ini­
tiated in Pittsburgh and New York City
earlier this year.
Host for the Cleveland meeting was
Dr. Michael Pap, director of the Insti­
tute for Soviet and Russian Studies at
John Carroll University.
Following brief welcoming remarks
by Dr. Pap, John Y. Hamulak, secre­
tary of the Ukrainian Engineer's Society
of America, commented on the success
of the cooperative endeavor "I have
attended all three meetings," he stated,
"and ! am very impressed with the
progress we are making. I never would
have believed that we could come this
far in such a short time."
Dr. Paul Magocsi, president of the Car-
patho-Rusyn Research Center and
associate professor of the Ukrainian
Studies Chair at the University of
Toronto addressed the gathering next
and commented on the need for each
group to know each other better. "My
views," stated Dr. Magocsi, "are essen­
tially the same as those published in The
Ukrainian Weekly (see Mr. Magocsi`s
remarks published on May 23). Our
respective communities need to be re­
educated."
Contending that many Ukrainians
"still teach their children that Carpatho-
Rusyns are in some way traitors to
Ukraine," Dr. Magocsi concluded that
such a perception will serve no useful
purpose. "We are two separate people
that can learn from each other," be
stated. "Ukrainians have been very

THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY
Leonid Brezhnev said that agricultural
planners should stop blaming the cli­
mate for repeated crop failures, and he
unveiled a series of proposals aimed at
stimulating the agricultural sector, the
primary one being more government
investment.
But Western experts agree that Mr.
Brezhnev's proposal of pouring one-
third of all government monies into
agricultural development between 1986
and 1990 isjust a modified version of his
1965 reform program, and does not
address the chronic problems plaguing
Soviet farm production for nearly 20
years.
Almost every Western study, the
Times said, has concluded that a real
surge in output will never come until the
bureaucracy surrenders some of its
power and makes room for initiative by
the thousands of state and collective
farms, as well as by the industries that
supply them with machinery, fertilizer
and other essentials.
Although the mechanism of central
planning led to dramatic increases in
agricultural yields under Stalin, today
the system is sagging under its own
bureaucratic weight which has led to
mismanagement, lost production, stag­
nation and waste.
A recent study prepared by the
Central Committee and disseminated in
Eastern Europe, reveals that a startling
one-fifth of the grain harvest - more
than 30 million tons, even in a bad year
like 1981 - is lost to spoilage, either by
late harvesting or inadequate storage
and distribution. Similar losses have
also, effected half the potato crop.
The statistics on farm equipment
indicate that poor maintenance, a lack
of spare parts and shoddy construction
have left the USSR with only 2.4 million
national heritage and Carpatho-Rusyns
can learn from them, especially some of
our priests who tend to feel uncom­
fortable with their Rusyn national
culture."
"Carpatho-Rusyns can discover that
nationalism need not be evil and deve­
lop greater pride in their Rusyn heri­
tage. Ukrainians, however, should
refrain from attempting to convince
Rusyns that they are really Ukrainian
because even if we do share the same'
roots, this is irrelevant. Today, we are
not the same people," he said.
Dr. Kuropas, supreme vice president
of the Ukrainian National Association,
stressed the importance of cooperation
but cautioned against re-opening the
debate about who is Ukrainian and who
isn't. "Our past relations in America
have not been good, and to dwell on
them will serve no useful purpose,"
stated Dr. Kuropas.
"This is a topic for historians to
wrestle with. We should think about the
future and concentrate on that which
unites us. One way to begin is to engage
our energies in the pursuit of common
cultural enterprises which reinforce our
common pride. We must do this, how­
ever, as equals with equals," he noted.
Jerry Jumba, a Rusyn cultural worker
in the Diocese of Parma discussed his
work in the Rusyn community and
commented on the growing interest
younger Rusyns have in their traditions.
"I've had great success in involving our
youth with their Rusyn heritage," he
said, "and they are really excited about
what they've learned."
Similar sentiments were voiced by
James Senderak, a member of The
Carpathians, a Carpatho-Rusyn folk
ensemble, and Carrie Oris, a Rusyn

of 1981, 100,000 fewer than the number
of vehicles produced by the Soviet
plants between 1976 and 1981, the
Times said.
Consistently poor grain harvests have
also had an adverse impact on the
quality and supply of meat and poultry
because, unlike the United States, the
Soviets still rely heavily on grain feed
rather than high-protein feedstuffs. The
result is disproportinately poor feed
conversion ratios which, simply put,
means that the Soviets need much more
feed to fatten their livestock compared
to their counterparts in the West This
reliance on grain, coupled with the
Soviet use of inferior or mediocre
breeds, result in a low productivity
potential and, in the end, low-grade
meat and not enough, of it.
' A recent article on Soviet agriculture
published in Foreign Affairs concludes
that a Soviet hog takes eight to 10
months, in some cases over a year, to get
finished for slaughter, and not five to six
months as on a good Western farm. In
1980 Soviet cattle were delivered for
slaughter at an average weight of 772
pounds as compared to 1,000 or 1,100
pounds for an American beef steer.
Soviet cows yield 4,850 to 5,070 pounds
of milk per year, as compared to an
average of 11,875 pounds for American
cows.
Because grain plays such an integral
part in the Soviet agricultural system,
Soviet leaders have put a premium on
boosting the harvest, but for the most
part, their approach has been primitive
and counterproductive. For example,
since 1977 there has been a marked
increase in the number of hectares
sown, but merely expanding the areas to
be planted to include.marginally fertile

Dr. Pap addressed the issue of mani­
pulation by "our common enemies, the
Russians and the Hungarians, who had
and have everything to gain from our
two groups remaining estranged. We
can learn from the past and make
certain that we will not be manipulated
again."
S. T. Brinsky, general counsel of the
Greek Catholic Union, also voiced
strong support for future cooperation.

land has done little more than put a
strain on water resources, fertilizer,
herbicide and harvesting capacities, and
allowed more grain to rot in the fields.
In addition, the over-expansion of
grain areas has led to a neglect of
fallowing and roughage production, so
necessary for feed.
In addition to poor seeding practices
and bad planning, the dismal Soviet
grain harvest also reflects weaknesses in
the state and collective farm systems,
including improper use of manpower
and low productivity.
Today, for example, the Soviets
employ a staggering 10 times more
workers per land unit than their Ameri­
can counterparts, or about 5.6 workers
per 100 acres of arable crop land. But
with little or no profit incentive, the
average Soviet farm worker spends
more time and effort tending his alloted
private plot and livestock than he does
on government farms, which leads to a
dismal worker/productivity ratio. In
all, these private plots have accounted
for roughly 18.5 percent of total crop
production and an impressive 31 per­
cent of all animal production between
1976-77, according to the article in
Foreign Affairs. By 1980, the private
sector occupied only 2.6 percent of total
arable land, but owned 30 percent of
all cows and roughly 20 percent of all
other livestock. Fifteen to 20 percent of
private output is sold.
The agricultural system's failures
have been implicitly recognized for
years in the praise that Soviet academic
journals have given to economic re­
forms in Hungary, the Times reported.

The early summer showers did not
stop the sports competition, which
started at 10:30 a.m. The soccer teams
of Chornomorska Sitch, (teams A and
B), the South Orange Cougars and New
York Ukrainian Spo`rts Club competed,
with the Cougars winning first place.
Volleyball teams - both men's and
women's - also played to the delight of
the spectators. They included men's
teams of the South River Club and
Northern New Jersey, and women's
teams of Maplewood, South Orange,,

First-place trophies were presented to
South River and Chornomorska Sitch.
The outdoor entertainment, how­
ever, due to start at 12:30 p.m. was
delayed until 2 p.m. because of technical
difficulties caused by the rain. Such
performers as the "Muzychne Dosh-
kilia" (pre-school music school), the
Ukrainian Dancers of Fresh Meadows
and the two-man band of Alex Chudolij
and Dorko Senchyshyn entertained on­
lookers between 2 and 5 p.m.
As people gathered on the steps, they
watched the "Muzychne Doshkilia," a
group of children age 3 to 5, who
through introductory eurhythmies and
music appreciation acted out fairy tales.
The group, from Irvington, N.J., is
directed by Marta Sawycky, and this
year is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The Ukrainian Dancers of Fresh
Meadows, under the direction of Olga
and Ed Wojcik, performed various
Ukrainian dances which were loudly
applauded by the interested festival-goers.
The festival really got swinging as

As the music got under way, the two
musicians asked the audience to clap to
the beat, sing along and dance. It didn't
take much coaxing before the dance
floor was echoing with the sounds of
stamping feet. Those who did not
dance, did indeed clap to the music and
sing along.
Before the festival-goers knew it, it
was S p.m. and time for the evening
program to begin. As the people were
ushered into the amphitheater, the
curtain was unveiled and the opening
notes of "The Star Spangled Banner"
resounded. The Surma Male Choir

As the people were still shuffling to
their seats, the Ukraina Dance En­

stage with a dance titled "Greetings."
The number ended with the dancers
raising large cards that spelled out the
words "Vitayemo" and "Welcome."
The group then performed 'The

Next to be greeted with tumultuous

Soyuzivka spruces up for summer season

Soyuzivka, the Ukrainian National
Association's year-round resort located
m the Sha-wan-gunk region of the
Catskill Mountains in Kerhonkson,
N Y , was bought by the UNA in May
1952. Once the Andrew Foorde Sanato-
rium, the estate was originally pur-
chased with the intention of being used
as a home for senior citizens, but plans
soon changed, and it has served as an
attractive, relaxing resort during the
summer months and as a popular place
to hold weddings, conventions and
parties during the off-season.
This, the 30th year for Soyuzivka,
brings a few changes and a few new
faces. Once again it promises to be a
relaxing, laid-back summer for va-
cationers who come to take in the sun,
enjoy the view and get together with old
and new friends, for, as the saying goes,
"There's no place like Soyuzivka."
Like every summer resort, Soyuzivka
undergoes a facelift before the crowds
arrive for the opening festivities. For the
past three months, a small staff of
workers has been using the old elbow
grease to get the place into shape.
The 65 rooms stand vacant for a
better part of the year, thus they all need The management this year will include a new face, George Prokopec, (top, right) who moved into the estate in

'Even Chemnyi is getting ready for the summer season," Mr. Kwas says.
"We've put him on a diet." Chemnyi is Soyuzivka'e 9-year-old collie mascot,
as familiar to Soyuzivka vacationers as Mr. Kwas himself.

Soyuzivka officially opens its summer season this 4th of July weekend with
a variety of events. Besides basking in the warm sun (Mr. Kwas promises good
weather) visitors can enjoy the scenic countryside and watch the USCAK-
East tennis tourney during the three-day weekend.
Anya Dydyk will emcee a special Independence Day concert program
featuring diverse musical and vocal talents, in addition to a traditional

Highlights of Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening will be dances to the
music of Alex Chudohj and Dorko Senchyshyn (formerly the Soyuzivka

In continuing the report on the remaining three days of Conference VIII you will
recall that Sheriff Walter Kwas and his deputies were searching the region of
Soyuzivka-Ukraine - Lviv, Poltava, Chernivtsi, Uzhhorod, Kiev and surrounding
area - in search of a missing woman on that memorable night of June 1. The posse
emerged victorious - they found Julia.
Prior to this adventure, Mr. Kwas emerged victorious at still another momentous
affair. He had left Soyuzivka on May 23 for the UNAConventionin Rochester and
returned on May 29 as supreme advisor. Mariyka Hankewych, assistant manager,
headed the contingent of well-wishers upon his return from the 30th UNA
Convention.
The UNA seniors were privileged to meet the new supreme advisor at Conference
VIII and to extend best wishes for many happy years in his new UNA position.

Another hero in the sheriffs posse included George Joseph Prokopec, the new
manager of Soyuzivka. During an interview with Mr. Prokopec, it was learned that
he was born in 1941 in Cracow, Poland. His Ukrainian father and Czech mother
had been students at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow before their marriage.
When Mr. Prokopec was 2 years old his parents moved to Opava, Czechoslovakia,
where he received his formal education, culminating his studies (with honors) at the
Hotel and Hospitality Technological University at Marianske Lanse.
In 1968 Mr. Prokopec emigrated to Sarnia, Ont., where he continued his
profession and now, in 1982, Soyuzivka is privileged to have George Prokopec as
its manager. Welcome, George, and sincerest wishes from the UNA seniors for a
happy and rewarding career at Suzy-Q.
Having taken care of our heroes of Tuesday night, we proceed to...
Wednesday morning
Wednesday of every conference is set aside for a trip, and every Wednesday of
every conference week it rained to some degree. Remember the "good luck"that was
promised to the wearer of the one low heel and one high heel the same day Julia
disappeared? It worked! The tradition of rainy weather was broken for the first
time; dawn brought warmth and the sun's radiant glow.
Olha Saluk and Dr. Roman Baranowsky supervised the trip to Albany. Walter
and Catherine Kozak of Union, N.J., (formerly of Bayonne, N.J.) were attending
their first UNA seniors conference. This is how Catherine reported the trip:
"Two buses left Suzy-Q at 8:45 a.m. About IS minutes en route a sing-along was
started. Sheets with about 50 folksongs were supplied by John Wolsonovich of
Youngstown, Ohio, and the singing continued until we arrived in Albany at 10:30
a.m. We lunched at picnic tables/benches set outdoors at the Empire State Plaza.
Soyuzivka management had provided each tourist with two huge sandwiches, soda
pop and apples.
"Our first stop was at the State Capitol where we visited the Executive^Assembly-
Senate Chambers and saw the million-dollar 'staircase.' We walked along the
Concourse to the Cultural Education Center (Museum) and met another guide by
the name of Joel. His grandmother was Ukrainian, and he lives on East 11th Street
in New York City.
"We sang all the way home and marched off the buses at 5 p.m. singing, 'Hey, tam
na hori ...'. We all had a most enjoyable day."

We would have gladly watched it a second time.
Thursday morning
This was the speak-your-mind session. Topics introduced were: the proposed
condominium at Soyuzivka (the seniors had repeatedly voted down the
condominium project); the formation of additional UNA seniors dubs throughout
the United States and Canada; the desire for an apartment-type seniors complex; the
suggestion that UNA seniors keep in close touch with the senion staff through Soyuzivka`s Chel Andrij to the coronation table. Prolonged applause resounded as
letter-writing; the explanation that June 1982 is too late to request that dividend the surprised Andrij was led to the stage. Queen Marion had to stand on her toes to

the upcoming year; determining a suitable location for the hoped-for seniors
complex; and, finally, what happened to the 530,000 that was raised in the 1930s,
possibly 1940s, too, for the UNA seniors home.
Answers to the last question came from Maria Chuchman and Stephen Kuropas.
IN MEMORIAM: Dr. Halyna Noskowska Himiak, widow of Volodymyr
Hirniak and member of the executive staff of the UNA Seniors'Association
since its inception, died Tuesday evening, June 8, at her home in Long Island
City, N.Y.
It was Dr. Hirniak's last wish that in lieu of flowers UNA seniors might
wish to make a contribution to a church in need of extensive renovations.
Please make check payable to: Epiphany of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic
Church, 434 - 90th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, Fla. 33702. Mark check; Church
Renovation - in memory of Dr. Halyna Noskowska Hirniak.
SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 1982 No. 26
Mrs. Chuchman corrected the figure from S30,000to 576,000. "The UNA branch
secretaries took part in the fund-raising program; I know because I worked on that
committee. When Soyuzivka was purchased it was deemed to be too large for the
small number of applicants who had applied for residency at the 'home,' and the
premises were turned into a resort for Ukrainian youth."
Mr. Kuropas explained why the fund-raising was curtailed. The new
immigration pleaded that funds were needed to help the suffering freedom fighters
in Carpatho-Ukraine, as well as for the Ukrainians who had fled the Communist
invasion of Ukraine. The seniors home fund drive was frozen at 576,000.
Thursday afternoon
The UNA Chairman for Seniors, Mr. Kuropas, presented the speaker of the
afternoon, Walter Sochan, UNA supreme secretary, as well as Anthony Dragan,
Svoboda editor-emeritus.
This was the first seniors' conference addressed by Mr. Sochan. He brought
greetings from the re-elected supreme president, John O. Flis, and the entire
executive committee at general headquarters.
Following his speech Mr. Sochan answered questions posed by the seniors. With
his softly spoken words and kind demeanor, Mr. Sochan captivated the audience.
Our supreme secretary spoke convincingly and honestly when he said: "The UNA
announced the building of the 50 condominium units because we have no funds for
anything else." Simply stated, honestly delivered.
"Sixty applications have already been received and we propose to begin work in
the fall. There is only the matter of the land. It now appears that the land under
consideration for the project at the present time is too steep a location and the UNA
is trying to acquire land adjoining the original site in order to avoid construction of
the project on a hillside. This situation is currently under study," he explained.
Mr. Sochan appealed to the grandparents that they insure their grandchildren,
"to whom they would be able to turn over the assets of the organization and the
organization itself," in the UNA.
When questioned later about the monies that had been collected for the seniors
home, Mr. Sochan confirmed that 576,000 was indeed collected "But,"
explained Mr. Sochan, "this is far below what is actually needed to begin work. 51
million would be a more realistic figure."
The watchword: wait patiently until the economy of the country improves and
then watch the UNA go into action)
Thursday evening - banquet and coronation
The head table was elegantly decorated with floral garlands. Fresh flowers
accented each individual table. The guests were beautifully attired; they had put
their best feetforward. It was a gala affair.
Dr. Baranowsky was toastmaster. He had prepared a program to measure up to a
Broadway show.
Seated at the head table were: Dr. Mykola Cenko, Semen and Helen
Chornomaz, William Nagurney, Sylvester and Maria Martiuk, Ivan and Natalia
Bazarko, Dr. Roman Borkowsky, the Rev. Dr. Bohdan Volosin, Alexander and
Lydia Hanas, Dr. Stephania Baranowsky, Mr. Kuropas, Mrs. Chuchman; Dr.
Baranowsky and Marion Burbella (sharing the microphone).
A prayer by Father Volosin officially opened the banquet.
Paula Riznyk was chairlady of the coronation ceremony, the first item on the
program. She was assisted by Mira Powch. Both ladies were asked to come to the
microphone.
This was Mrs. Riznyk`s recognition night. The UNA seniors were recognizing
her 50 years of dedicated service on every executive level in the Ukrainian Gold
Cross. Mrs. Powch presented the corsage, which Mrs. Burbella pinned on a
surprised Mrs. Riznyk, to which was added a short speech in honor of the occasion.
The honored coronation chairlady now proceeded with the ceremony. She placed
seven cards bearing the names of February birthday ladies in a large silver box:
Tatiana Zaliska, Eugenia Triska, Mrs. Riznyk, Catherine Kozak, Catherine Hale,
In another silver box she placed four cards bearing the names of February
Each box was lifted high in the air. One card was drawn from each box.
The results: Catherine Hale — queen; Yaroslav Saluk - king.
Volodymyr Senezhak and the King of Conference V, Mr. Kuropas, escorted Queen
Catherine VIII to her throne.
Queen (Conference II) lidia Yaciw and Queen (Conference VII) Lydia Hanas
escorted King Yaroslav VIII to his throne. Queen (Conference I) Marion placed the
crowns on the regal heads.
Mr. Senezhak proposed the toast; everyone joined in a mighty "Mnohaya Lita."
But wait there was still a third crown.
King (Conference VI) Kwas and Mr. Prokopec were dispatched to escort
It was proclaimed: "The UNA seniors crown you King-Chef Pierre of Soyuzivka.
May your reign among your subjects be long, and happy. Mnohaya Lita for King
Andrij - Chef Pierre!" A tumultuous "Mnohaya Lita" was sung for King Andrij.
The previously crowned royalty escorted the newly crowned royalty back to their
tables, while King-Chef Pierre, crown on head, retired behind the screen to his
chefs paradise.
In order to minimize words and to accentuate the cultural program at the
. banquet, the following format will be introduced:
I - The Cultural-Artistic Ensemble Dzvin: Anna Pleskun, Rosalia Kavur,
Tamara Lykholay. Comedy presented on Veselka stage by Andriy Pleskun,
Yaroslav Kavur of Dzvin.
II - Vera Studney of Hillside, N.J., for the second year in a row donated prizes
which which have enriched the seniors' treasury. This year's amount: 5126. Lucky
winners were Irena Russnak of Rochester, N.Y. - first prize, a doll in Ukrainian
dress; Maria Barahura of Woodhaven, N.Y. - second prize, a doll in Ukrainian

SECRETARIAL MATTERS
'Resolution

The Committee on Secretarial Matters confirms that the UNA needs new, more
attractive certificates and a reform of dividend payments, nevertheless does not
present these as recommendations, because it is aware that the UNA Executive
Committee has begun work on these matters.
GENERAL MATTERS
' Resolution
Whereas, it is a historical fact that one of the fundamental purposes of the UNA
is total commitment to provide every possible form of assistance to our brothers
and sisters in Ukraine in their valiant struggle for self-determination;
Whereas, a detailed and accurate understanding and perception of Ukraine and
its heritage by the peoples of the world is crucial to this valiant struggle;
Whereas, here in the United States, we are witnessing a prevailing and
systematic misrepresentation of Ukraine, its history, culture, religion and heritage
- as seen in our public school system, in our communications and news media, in
our government, and in virtually every other sector of our country;
Now, be it resolved, that it is the position and sentiment of this 30th Regular
Convention of the Ukrainian National Association that the Supreme Assembly of
the UNA, within a period of six months after the 30th Convention, shall establish a
special operational body composed of UNA'ers and funded by a minimum of
15,000 per annum, whose sole purpose would be to combat the prevailing
manifestations of misrepresentation and misinformation about Ukraine.
о Recommendation
Whereas there has never been a Ukrainian or Slavic judge on the Supreme Court
and courts of appeal, and only three on the district courts of the United States, and
only two cabinet department heads since the founding of the republic, and
Whereas under President Reagan, out of 460 top-level executive appointments, not
one person is of Ukrainian or other Slavic descent, and
Whereas under these circumstances actions such as those of the Justice
Department in unjustly harassing and trying in an un-American and illegal manner
in denaturalization cases Ukrainians and other Slavic Americans and East
Europeans, bound to damage irreparably the proud American judicial system, are
the unfortunate and shameful result;
Therefore, be it resolved that the Ukrainian National Association apply informa­
tional, advisory and other appropriate and timely efforts in the most
effective ways to obtain assignments to judicial and quasi-judicial bodies or
commissions, and to policy-making and control positions in all worthy aspects of
American life so as to promote the raising of Ukrainian and other Slavic Americans
to the first-class citizenship which is their entitlement.
' Recommendation
To appea1 to the governments of the United States and Canada to focus attention
of world opinion on the fact that it is not the United States or England or other free
nations who are the imperialists, but on the contrary, it is Moscow which enslaves
SUNDAY, JUNE 2 7 , 1 9 8 2 MiS
dozens of European and Asian nations, preventing them from developing freely
and independently.
The UNA confirms that the Russification of Ukraine today has assumed
threatening proportions. This matter should be brought to the attention of world
opinion and should persistently be reminded of it.
'Recommendation
The UNA condemns the confirmation by Billy Graham that there is no religious
persecution in the USSR, but on the contrary, there is freedom of religion.
'Recommendation
The UNA appeals to its membership and to the whole Ukrainian community to
actively prepare together with Ukrainian Churches for the celebration of the
1,000th armiversary of the Christianization of Ukraine. The 1,000th anniversary of
the Christianization of Ukraine should leave a lasting remembrance in educational-
publishing circles and should cement the Ukrainian community for the coming
thousand years.
'Recommendation
The entire Ukrainian community should duly mark the 50th anniversary of the
forced famine in Ukraine, thereby pointing out this'threat of Moscow imperialism
to all'enslaved nations.
'Recommendation
The UNA should encourage the Ukrainian community to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the birth of composer the Rev. Kyrylo Stetsenko, whom the USSR
calls a Russian composer.
a Recommendation
The UNA sends greetings to all veterans of the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent
Army), who for 10 years, continued to fight for independence. It (the UNA) calls
to all of its members to honor the 40th anniversary of the UPA, together with the
whole Ukrainian community.
' Recommendation
The convention appeals to the Supreme Assembly of the UNA to take further
steps toward the return of solidarity in the Ukrainian community, including the
resumption of its proper place in the UCCA by the UNA.
'Recommendation
That the convention go on record as expressing appreciation to the authors of the
519-page book "The Ukrainians of Maryland" for their inclusion in said book of
well-researched analyses of the Ukrainian National Association. Said coverage
includes a reproduction of a three-page letter on the stationery of Svoboda dated
February 25,1936,fromthe then-editor F,mil Revyuk to the well-known journalist
H.L. Mencken. Other data include ` photos and histories of the UNA branches in
Maryland, citations of publications of the UNA a historical sketch of the UNA
and the inclusion of an honored cartoon by John Rosolowicz which depicts
confusions about Ukrainian nationality.
The book is a rich source about Ukrainians in America, not only in Maryland,
and is appropriately advertised as the most comprehensive state history of any
Slavic group in America.
EDUCATIONAL FUND
'Recommendation
Delegates to the 30th Convention of the UNA recommend the creation of an
Educational Fund of the UNA to support our educational system: schools,
summer camps, youth organizations, parents who cannot afford to pay for the
education of their children in Ukrainian schools, camps; training courses for
teachers, publication of educational material and all other educational aids
needed for education.
Such Educational Fund would be created out of voluntary contributions. The
30th Convention recommends that UNA members voluntarily pay SS per year and
per family (or household). The convention also recommends that branch
secretaries collect these contributions and that Svoboda editors encourage the
fund-raising campaign among their readers.
UNA BY-LAWS
' Resolution'
The convention approves the appointment of a special committee, composed of
Sen. Paul Yuzyk, Bohdan Zorych, John Hewryk, Ulana Diachuk and Nestor
Olesnycky, to formulate a proposal for an amendment to the by-laws, regarding the
establishment of a board of directors of the UNA in Canada, and its functions
which must be approved by the Supreme Assembly in the fall of 1982, in order to be
included in the UNA by-laws at the earliest permissible time.
'Recommendation
UNA District Committees, during the many years of their functioning, have
completely proven their worth, therefore we recommend that the By-Laws

'Recommendation
Special awards should be given to unassigned branches for organizing larger
numbers of new members, because they are not included in any UNA district, where
they can compete for prizes; neither do they have any representation.
The Supreme Assembly and the Supreme Executive Committee should consider
the need for representation for unassigned branches, namely, that one of the elected
supreme advisors should be elected from the unassigned branches and be their
representative.

(Condnued from page 2)
He abandoned his hunger strike on
the 37th day on June 18 when a French
doctor warned that his body was be­
ginning to suffer irreparable damage,
and when Soviet authorities granted his
wife a visa to visit him in Moscow. Ms.
Zobel arrived on June 20 and was
scheduled to leave on June 23, still
unsure whether her husband will be
allowed to join her in Dusseldorf.
Mrs. Azure, the other member of the
original hunger-strikers, is a 30-year-
old physicist from Vladimir who was
married to a Frenchman, Armand
Azure, in 1979. She resumed eating and
returned to Vladimir on June 2 after she
had been advised to resubmit her
application.
Her previous applications to emi­
grate had been rejected on the ground
that she once lived in Arzamas, a city
off-limits to foreigners. She has re­
peatedly said that she had not lived in
the city since 1972.
The use of the hunger strike as an
effective means to prod the Soviet
bureaucracy into action appears to be

More and more...
(Continuedfrompap 2)
Some U.S. officials, the Journal
reports, also think the Soviets are
getting caught more often because they
are getting sloppy as they expand their
espionage operations. One expert points
to the case of a high-level Soviet spy
expelled from the United States in
February after meeting with an Ameri­
can double agent to receive supposedly
secret U.S. documents in the parking lot
of a Virginia shopping mall.
FBI men were biding nearby, waiting
for the exchange to take place. When it
did, they swooped in, expecting to nab a
middle-level Soviet functionary. In­
stead, they caught Vasily I. Chitov, who
is a major general in the Red Army and,
according to the U.S. government, a top
agent in the GRU, the Soviet military
intelligence agency.
The Journal reported that another
factor in the rash of recent expulsions
could be the strained relations between
the USSR andthe West as a result of the
Soviet-backed crackdown in Poland
and the continued Soviet presence in
Afghanistan. Publicly expelling diplo­
mats, experts point out, is still a popular
and effective means of showing official
displeasure at another country's poli­
cies.
U.S. officials also insist that the jump
in expulsions indicates that there are
more Soviet agents at work than before.
The U.S. government estimates that one
third of Moscow's 800 diplomats in the
country are actually full-time intelli­
gence officers. One Justice Department
spokesman, Richard Willard, charged
in a recent speech that the FBI, which
was once able to match hostile intelli­
gence agents one for one in this coun­
try, is now outnumbered three or four to
one.
Earlier this year, a published report in
U.S. News and World Report quoted an
unnamed FBI agent as saying that the
ratio is more like 10 to one.
Many of these pseudodiplomats
spend much time snooping around
Capitol Hill, attending public hearings,
petitioning for access to data under the
Freedom of Information Act, and court­
ing congressmen and legislative aides in
the hope of ferreting out information.
In a celebrated case last September, a
Soviet diplomat walked into the office
of Rep. David F. Emery (R-Maine)and
asked for the congressman's public
statements on his alternative plan for
deploying the MX missle.
An aide in the office, John Rabb,
turned the man away, The official
turned out to be Yuriy Leontov, whom
the FBI identified as a GRU agent.
The Indonesian case is another
example in which Soviet indiscretion
seems to have backfired and created
embarrassing publicity. According to
the Journal, Indonesian officials caught
an assistant Soviet military attache
named Lt. Col. S.P. Egorov passing a
camera and film to an Indonesian
military officer at a Jakarta restaurant.
The government gave Col. Egorov 48
hours to clear out but tried to handle the
matter quietly. But when he arrived at
the airport with his wife and two aides,
Alexander Fincnko, an Aeroflot official
and a known GRU agent, and G.M.
Odariuk, a political attache at the
embassy, a fracas broke out.
When Mr. Fincnko tried to accom­
pany Col. Egorov to the plane, Indone­
sian officials stopped' him. A scuffle
broke out during which Indonesian
officials claim Col. Egorov punched a
security guard, while his wife bit, kicked
and scratched another.
The brawl resulted in Indonesia
asking Messrs. Odariuk and Finenko to
join their colleague in returning to
Moscow, the Journal reported.
