A convention of the United Croats of America is scheduled to take place at the Hotel Commodore on Sunday, September 6th. It is called the Second Convention of Croatian Unity and according to a Croatian language paper published in Chicago (Danica - The Morning Star) Croatian representatives have been invited to attend from West Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Sweden, France, Austria, Great Britain, Venezuela, Italy and Chile.

According to well informed sources the United Croats of America which has a local branch at 552 W. 50th Street in New York and whose headquarters are reported to be at 3351 West Chrystal Street in Chicago, Illinois is allegedly a cover for members of the Ustashi Nazi organization which operated in pre-war Yugoslavia and which supported the Nazis on invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. With the success of the Nazi offensive the Ustashi were installed as a puppet government in part of Yugoslavia with its leaders Ante Pavelic and Andrija Artukovic, who now lives in the United States.

The Ustashi was responsible for the mass murder of Jews, Serbs and other ethnic and religious groups of whom about 700,000 were massacred during the Ustashi regime.
