After an extended tour through the South, South­west and Pacific coast, His Imperial Highness, Arch­duke Otto Von Habsburg, has returned to New York. He intends remaining here for a short time before leav­ing for Washington, D. C. Then plans on visiting the Canadian provinces of Que­bec, Manitoba and Saskat­chewan, he revealed in an exclusive interview in his New York hotel suite. Looking better than I have ever seen him look be­fore, the young pretender to the Austrian throne inform­ed me that despite the black prospect of the European war dragging itself out into a prolonged struggle, word that has been coming through from the people of the oppressed countries is hopeful, for, although Hitler has continued overthrowing the smaller nations, each one of his victories is turn­ing into a liability due to the lack of crops this year. He has to date been “collecting deserts,” for there will be no crops in the Balkans and the crops of Hungary will be the poorest in twenty years, all due, of course, to mobili­zation and the military ne­cessity for man power. Upon the possibility of the entry of The United States into the war, Otto made no comment. There was, however, the thought that if eventually America would be drawn into the con­flict our underlying strength and uniformity of spirit would be determining fact­ors, because to the Amer­icans Washington and Lin­coln live on today as surely as they did in their own time. They live on in a spirit that has been inbred and absorbed by Americans for generations. And it is this spirit, coupled with our great natural wealth and resourc­es, that will save The United States in the .end, be it from war or from absorption by an unfriendly power in the event of conflict. Regarding the article con­cerning the “Government­­in-Exile” movement, in the March 21st issue of the magazine Friday, which article caused no little amount of furore, His High­ness summed everything up for me in two words, and T quote: “It’s baloney!”--------------O-------------­BRANCH 428 NOTICE Milwaukee, Wisconsin Branch 428 will hold its regular meeting on June 11, 1941, 9:00 A.

BROGLEY Pittsburgh, Pa. May 22, 1941 Dear Director Brogley: On your last visit to our fail village, you asked me to write column on bowling and to con­vey to the. readers your idea ot having a Nationál Verhovay Bowling League next fall and winter. Please consider this open letter to you the column you re­quested. I myself think it is a great idea because for one thing it holds interest for a greater number of people, both as actual participants and as followers. However, I think you picked the wrong ‘guy’ for the job. My knowledge of bowling goes no further than a galloping horse on a merry-go-round. Last year I bowled consistently—consistently under a hundred. My bowling was so lousy that I figured on my fingers my average for the season, with the help of a few toes here and there. My trouble was, I think, in how I threw the “old pill.” My system was to push the ball beyond the foul line, and from there it. was on its own. Any strikes or spares were purely coincidental. Another thing I noticed was that most of the bails I threw were not used to high altitudes, because they always took to the valleys on either side of the alley. To tell the pure, unadulterated truth, my average for the season was 67 and three quarters, the three quarters being for the time my ball went three quarters of the way down the . alley before it went into the ‘gutter’. But all this is so much water over the dam, also irrelevant, immaterial, beside the point, and has no bearing on the case at hand. The case at hand being the Verhovay National Bowling League that we are going to have next year. It is an ex­ceptionally good idea because for one thing it furthers 'fraternalism in a more widespread manner, not only fraternalism between local branches but between the branches over all the country. You know, Mr. Brogley, if you had asked me to write about al­most any other sport I could have written a far more interesting letter. A couple of weeks ago, for instance, there was a run on the banks, the banks of every nearby, adjacent and surrounding trout stream in the immediate, and also other, vicinities. I was one of the happy throng that migrated streamward on open­ing day. I went to a popular fishing creek and, despite the fact that I arrived there at the crack of dawn, I did not get a suitable spot to fish in. The creek was so filled with guys in hip boots that I could not even cast my line till about one o’clock. The whole day I got one bite. I hooked into the radiator of an old Reo Flying Cloud and played it for seven minutes. It got away. But again, this letter is sup­posed to be about bowling and the national bowling league we are going to have next year. This national league is a splendid idea because it will arouse the competi ­tive spirit in many who otherwise would not play. And athletics is an integral ingredient in the building of a superior race. Take golf, for example, I am an ardent enthusiast of the game. This re­minds me that I do not have Verhovayak Lapja any clubs to play with this year. My wife broke all of mine in half to tie up her tomatoe plants. I wonder if you will loan me your clubs, some time when you are not using them, if you have any not to use sometime? I am going to break a hundred this year and prsbably half of your clubs, that is, provided you loan them to me, provided you have any to loan me. Anyway, all I will need is a driver and a No. 6 Iron, as I will probably spend most of my time in the sand traps and the rough. Which reminds me that I know a guy who is a sand blaster. He gets 76c an hour. (Just a minute, a last minute flash here tells me that this ‘guy’s’ plant just went out on strike for a 3c an hour raise. That means that .pretty soon he will be making 79c an hour.) All of this is by way of telling you that on my off days I do the same thing for nothing. I am very well-known at the local public links. The ground keepers follow me around and after every hole I play, they move the sand back <toito the traps. It usually takes me 175 strokes to make a round. I wish I could switch my bowling aver­age with my golf score. Then I would bowl .175 and shoot a 67 on the fairways, which would not be bad at all. But there I go wandering off the subject again. (I am wonder­ing if I have ever stuck to it?) which, if I am not mistaken (and I usually • am), is the National Verhovay Bowling League, which is an unusually good idea, or did I say that already? We could divide all the branches up geographically into, say, three or four groups, each group to have play-offs among its own teams until the best team in each group is determined, which teafn should receive a trophy or reason­able facsimile. Then the teams that win the trophies could have a play-off, the survivor of which would be recognized as the Na­tional Verhovay Championship Team. Here I have typed quite a big letter, and, although I have writ­ten very much at random, I have not apologized for anything or asked you to excuse anything, as is customary in writing a letter. So just to keep up with the custom, I will ask you to please excuse the fact that I did not stick to the point, in fact I did not even stay within the neighborhood of the point. If you don’t remember said, above, aforementioned, and heretofore referred to point was the Na­tional Verhovay Bowling Team which is to he inaugurated in the fall of 1941, or hadn’t 1 mentioned it to you? Well, it’s about time that 1 ended this elongated epistle, and, anyway, The Brooklyn Dodgers are invading Forbes Field and I want to go out and see our Pirates scuttle the “Babbling Brooks.” By the way, I think I will write a booklet on how to bowl, (and how not to start a bowling league.) The booklet on how to bowl I think I shall title, “How to Bowl in the Neighborhood of 300, the Vicinity of 200, around 100, Actually 67,” or “Learning the Manly Art of How One Can Get You Ten without Rolling the Well-Known ‘Bones’.” And by the way, if this letter gets any longer it also will be a booklet. Fraternally yours, John "Dirk” Fulop.--------------O-------------­BRANCH 366 NOTICE Cleveland, Ohio John Fritz, Jr., has re­signed from the presidency of Branch 366, due to the fact that he will be inducted into the Army in the near future.
