THE AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FEDERATION WASHINGTON D.C. CHAPTER held its annual June picnic on the 13th at the Benedek Olympic Farm in Maryland. Hungarians of the Baltimore and Richmond area joined those from the District for a fun-filled day. The hungarian GULYAS, cooked in the open was a great favorite, after which guests could excercise either in the pool, on the tennis court or go horseback riding.

Doorprizes included dinner for two at the Old Budapest Restaurant given by John Taba, local president, won by Mr. and Mrs. Szabados; in honor of flag-day and american flag contributed by C.

Bros went to Dr. Joseph Bonis; bathroom wall-paper donated by Alexander's was won by Szabolcs Szekeres, who commented: ..."but I'm renting only!" A book by Gabor Aron, hungarian author and a Christ head relief were also among the prizes.

The fall picnic will be held at the Taba Farm in Martinsburg sometime in September. It is going to be a three day affair, so prepare your tents. ******

We will keep in touch with Dr. Kuropas, who has very cordially extended to us an "open door policy" for mutual cooperation.

If any of our readers has an it item of interest about hungary or about any hunganian functions, please send it to the Ertesito in english and we will gladly transmit it or if it is of general interest, we will print it.

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER

A WORD FOR KOSSUTH

Not to the swift, nor to the strong The battles of the right belong,

For he who strikes for freedom wears The armor of the captive’s prayers,

And nature profess to his cause The strength of the eternal laws;

WASHINGTON REPORT

At a special press-conference at the White House with Dr. Myron Kuropas, Special Assistant to the President for Ethnic Affairs, (seated from left to right are well- known hungarian correspondent George Stirling, Mrs. Josephine Pulvari, Dr. Kuropas, and Cecilia Bros)

discussion centered on the lack of english news summaries in the ethnic press about activities in the ethnic community; the importance of the Holy Crown of St. Stephen to the hungarian people, the Sonnenfeldt blooper and a possible government matching funds grant for ethnic studies.

While he whose arm essays to bind And herd with common boutes his kind Strives evermore at fearful odds With nature and the jealous gods,

And dares the dread recoil which late Or soon, their right shall vindicate.

Boston Evening Transcipt, May 5, 1852.

Csaba Kúr, outstanding hungarian sculptor has enriched the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with his gift of a beautiful and life-like bust of world-famous hungarian composer Bela Bartók.

After the Center's Fine Arts Commission approved the bust, Mr. Richard H. Owens, Assistant to the Chairman, accepted it on behalf of the Kennedy Center.

Currently it stands in the Green- Room of the Concert Hall (where conductors and artists gather before concerts) until it can be put on permanent display for the viewing public.

Sometime during the fall of this bi-centennial year, it will be officially unveiled. The American Bartók Society, headed by well- known conductor Antal Dorati, will be making all the necessary arrangements .
