JERSEY CITY. N.J. -The March issue of Reader's Digest contains an article on Walter Polovchak, the Ukrainian boy who became the center of a complex legal battle when he chose to remain in the United States rather than return to the Soviet Union with his parents. The article, written by John Barron, a senior editor, is titled "Never I Go Back," the words Walter spoke to Chicago police in 1980 when, as a 12-year-old, he ran away along with his 18-year-old sister, Natalie, to avoid going back to the Soviet Union with his parents.

Mr. Barron chronicles the Polov­ chak case beginning in 1979. when Michael and Anna Polovchak, along with their children, Walter, Natalie and 5-year-old Michael, arrived in Chicago from the Soviet Union to begin a new life with the help of relatives. After managing to save some S8.000, the elder Polovchaks decided to return to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1980, prompting Participants of the annual meeting of the Metropolitan Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the United States.

Today, just over threeyears after the Illinois Appellate Court over­ ruled the juvenile court ruling that made Walter a ward of the state and thus, in effect, granted custody to the parents, the case is still in litigation. Because the so-called supremacy clause in the U.S. Constitution makes the granting of asylum by the federal government inviolable by a state court. Walter has been allowed to remain in the United States, although the ACLU continues to maintain that Walter was too voting to be given asylum.

Ukrainian Faces and Places

Shcherbytsky comes calling by Myron B. Kuropas

The visit to the United States of Volodymyr Shcherbytsky, first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU), presents an opportunity for Ukrainians to publicize the plight of Ukraine.

No. 9 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, MARCH 3,1985 9 Ukrainian Avantgarde Theatre Group debuts with "Duel" by Wsewolod Sokolyk TORONTO - "Duel."a play written and directed by Marko Stech, pre­ miered here on February I. The play was staged by members of Toronto's Ukrainian Avantgarde Theatre Group. 1 or most of the 17 actors and sup­ porting cast of 18 musicians and singers. "Duel" was their stage debut. All of the members of the troupe are teenagers or young adults in their early 20s. "Due!," a play written in the spirit of the avant-garde, is a social commentary on human languor and indifference towards life and other human beings. - Woven around Vasyl Symonenko's poem "Ту Znayesh...," the play depicts a conflict of the inner-self, a conflict of illusion versus reality. In particular, Mr. Stech chose to focus on the third verse of the poem: "Everything in life is for you. the fakes, the meadows, thesteppes, one must hurry and live, one must hurry and love, I warn you don`t let it go by." The play opens in the living room of a young couple, mired in their indif­ ference, who, it seems, live together as a matter of courtesy or ponvenience. "She" is portrayed by Orysia Hanushev- sky.
