Page 10 THE EIGHTH TRIBE February, 1977 Letter to the Editor:— January 12, 1977 Dear Sir: I am renewing my subscription to The Eighth Tribe for three years. Also, I want to ask you if you can please let me know whatever happened to the Col. Michael De Kovats Commemoration Medal which was to be issued by the government for the Bicentennial. The Bill #S 371, was unanimously approved by the Senate. Senator Harrison Williams of New Jersey introduced the bill to provide for the striking of medals commemorating the contributions by individuals of various ethnic bavkgrounds who contributed to the founding of the United States of America. In the bill, Senator Williams named Col. Michael De Kovats who gave his life for our independence in America. This was to be done by ARB A (American Revolution Bicentennial Administration) Director named John Warner. Article was written by Z. B. (Rt. Rev. Dr. Zoltán Beky) in the Fraternity magazine, 1975. I wrote a letter to Dr. Beky on this matter April, 1975. His response to me in a letter of June 11, 1975, advising me the medal was not ready and would be available the first part of bicentennial year and would be advertised in the Hungarian newspapers but no mention was ever made regarding De Kovats medal. Mr. Chomos, I am so upset over this and am wondering if this was a hoax played on the Hungarian people by the ARBA and by Senator Williams, and also, what happened to Bill #S 371 which was approved by the Senate. Now to me and my thinking, this must have been the biggest joke pulled on our Hungarian heritage for one of our great heroes who gave his life for this country. I, for one, am very proud of my heritage and I know there are many more true Hungarians who feel as I do, and would have been so proud to purchase and own a medal of our Hungarian hero who gave his life for our independence in America. I am truly, truly saddened — the great Bicentennial has passed — and no one knows anything of this medal which was promised and passed and approved by Bill #S 371. Mr. Chomos, is it possible for you to find anything on this matter? I would sincerely appreciate any information possible. Sincerely, and a very happy 1977 Mrs. Paul Beke Cleveland, Ohio 44134 if2EiQQQHEiQQQQQQQQEjQí2Ef5í2E2í2í2É2í2f2Bf2E(2f2(2f3Qf2Qf2E2f!
