In accordance with Bylaws item No. 145e, the UNWLA Ex ecutive Board decides on the visits of National Board Chair men to various Regions. These visits must be arranged with the President of the Region in which the Chairman plans a vis it or a conference. Ill Reports Branches have reports at their annual meeting. In most Regions they use the same reports for the Annual Conference and also for the press or OUR LIFE. Re ports should fulfill a special pur pose, inform about problems and be worthwhile. A Branch annual meeting is j the place for detailed reports. At the Regional Annual Conference, the President and Chairmen re port on the work of the entire Region, based on the Branch re ports. In addition to citing stat istics in the reports and discus sions, more attention should be given to an evaluation of the work accomplished — strong and weak points. The UNWLA Executive Board receives the Branch reports, the Regional Chairmen reports and the minutes of the Regional an nual conference. All of these combined give a picture of the work of the organization which is then presented at the Annual meeting of the National Board which meets in late Spring. In connection with this last item — it was directed in the past, that Branches have their annual meetings in December and January — Regional Coun cils, at the beginning of the new year. Lines of communication — written, personal, and in the form of reports logically follow ed, must become routine in the organization. The UNWLA Executive Board will make every effort to get materials out on time. Reminders on separate items will be published in OUR LIFE under Headquarters News — atid Headquarters will send out reminder letters when deadlines are missed.

Early in 1968 the New York Times and other newspapers dis closed a story about a Ukrain ian journalist, Vyacheslav Chor novil, whose letters and docu ments were smuggled to the West. In the fall this collection was translated into English and published by McGraw-Hill (the Ukr. edition appeared a year earlier here). This book has a foreword by Zbigniew Brzezin- ski, and a concise and detailed introduction by Prof. Frederick C. Braghoorn. V. Chornovil, now 35 years old, was active in the Komsomol youth leadership. As a profes sional journalist he covered the trials of Ukrainian intellectuals in 1965. He was shocked by the horrible absence of justice in the Soviet courts, and even refused to testify as a witness at such trials. In 1966 he wrote a de tailed and documented protest (74 pages in this book) to the Public Prosecutor of the USSR. Chornovil was soon arrested and at a secret trial on November 15,1967 was sentenced to 3 years of hard labor. Besides his bold protest, the second part of this collection consists of documents, 'letters,, es says and poems collected by Chornovil from twenty Ukrain ian intellectuals who were im prisoned after secret trials in 1965-66. Chornovil even included letters that these men and wom en wrote home to their relatives or public officials; Among them is a shattering letter, a petition written by the wife of another journalist, S. Karavansky, ask ing the authorities to execute structions, procedure directives, newsletters, etc.) should be placed in the Branch and Re gional files, and transferred to each succeeding President. Ivanna Rozankowsky Vice President her husband, rather than let him suffer so much by continuous re imprisonment (claiming the need to “reeducate” him). The com mon “crime” that Chornovil and the other Ukrainian scholars, writers, journalists and a paint er have committed, was their love for their own country, and some minor demands or hopes for the possibility of a more just treatment of non-Russian cul tures and intellectuals in the So viet Union. This book documents an amaz ing, or rather an almost suicidal boldness of desperate men, who demanded for themselves and other Ukrainians only that, which is promised by the Soviet law. Their personal risk is only to be admired, since it is obvious what awaited them after such frankness. Chornovil’s documen tation is indeed a most unique and strong manifestation of the Soviet policies towards non-Rus sians, who make up almost half of USSR’s population. E. Crankshaw of the London Observer, wrote that this is “the boldest, the most scathing, the most able indictment of the abuse of authority that has come out of the Soviet Union,” while Z. Brzezinsky notes, that this book is a “deeply moving human document, and the element of human tragedy which it express es transcends even the most im portant political issues.” L. M. L. APHORISMS BY HRYHORIY SKOVORODA Is it not love that unites, builds and creates, just as en mity destroys? * The nature of beauty is such that the more hindrances one en counters on the way, the more one is drawn to it — just as in the case of that noblest and hardest metal which, the more it is rubbed, the more it shines. * Falsehood depresses and is re actionary, that is why the desire is so strong to fight against it.
