Branch 132 Member Is Candidate For U.S. Senate JOHN S. GONAS, member of Branch 132, South Bend, Indiana since 1943, is running for office of United States Senate. Here is an exerpt from Mr. Gonas stating his achievements and goals. Before I mention part of my program, I want to state that I am very grateful to our Party and citizens for the past support given me in electing me representative and Senator, County Judge of Probate-Juvenile Court, and also Judge of Indiana Appellate Court. I am grateful to our people for the honors I have achieved and have received from the International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England (Men of Achievement), my biography will appear in all leading libraries and capitals of the world, including the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C. Also, by the American Biographical Institute, Personalities of America to appear in the Second Edition for “distinguished political achievement”. While serving as Judge of Juvenile Court and on invitation of the late Dag Hammarskjöld, Secretary General of the United Nations, I participated in the first United Nations Conference on Crime and Delinquency in Geneva, Switzerland, 1955, where I learned that the answer to the problem is preventive programs. On my return, I inaugurated a preventive program in our county and had the lowest delinquency rate in the state and nation. (See HEW Statistics, 1956). For sometime I have been requesting that our President and the National Administration and also the Governor and his administration enact a preventive program for problems created by man can be solved by man. I recall a foreign psychiatrist made a statement that nobody will beat you Americans, you will beat yourselves. Since the Republican administration, both state and national are not concerned with the future of our country and our children, the Democratic Party must take the lead in preserving our democracy, for the future of our children who are the America of tomorrow. Many of our citizens who know of my work with anti-crime have asked me to run for the legislature since state and national bodies have not taken any action. After reading the press lately Juvenile justice is a failure, 1,000 youngsters committed to institutions each week, when asked, 71% of our citizens stated they would prefer protection rather than jobs, billions are being spent to construct prisons and people fear to attend church services for fear their premises would be robbed. Our forefathers built churches and schools where today we are building more prisons. The preventive program would save taxpayers $20,000 a year for each inmate. Many of our educators agree that it is cheaper to prevent than to punish. This preventive program, if presented to the voters, would bring victory to our Party. I, therefore, appeal to you and the Democratic Party for your support to bring back our state and nation to the days of our forefathers. I agree we Advertising Power Any business without an advertising program is like winking at a girl in the dark. He knows what he’s got to offer, but she has no idea he even exists. have to take an interest in domestic problems, taxes and inflation, but our history tells us that they have been solved in the past and the present problems will be solved, but we must act now to preserve our democracy and save our children which is the America of tomorrow. I look forward to your support and approval of the State Committee. Yours for Democratic Victory, John S. Gonas In Memóriám LÁSZLÓ KERESZTI The Board of Directors announce with profound sorrow the death of László Kereszti, a former member of the National Auditing Committee. Mr. László Kereszti was born in Budapest, Hungary in May 1903, however, his family moved to Nyíregyháza and he considered this to be his hometown. Mr. Kereszti came to this country in 1939 to visit the then New York's World Fair. He had been an employee of the OTI, a Hungarian insurance organization. László was prevented from returning to Hungary because of the German invasion of Poland; he remained in New York where he became a member of Branch 23, Rákóczi. He was appointed full time Office Manager by Rákóczi and held that position until Branch 23 merged into William Penn, Branch 48. He continued, however, to serve as an Officer of the Branch. He was awarded the Illustration Citation for more than 35 years of dedicated service to the Association. He served three terms as a member of the Auditing Committee and during his last term, he served as Chairman. After leaving the Association's employment, László worked in the Export-Import business. László left no family except his large William Penn family. His dearest friends outside the William Penn family were Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Carl J. Sutter of Staten Island, New York, who were to him more than a brother and sister. We extend to them our dearest sympathy on the loss of a good friend and we mourn a most dedicated fraternalist.
