Press review U.S. Army officers mark Ukrainian independence Shcherbytsky speaks on Ukrainian culture

KIEV — The state of culture in Soviet Ukraine was the subject of a recent speech by Volodymyr Shcherbytsky, first secretary of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR, to a joint session of the republic's creative unions and societies. Excerpts from the speech were reprinted in Radianska Ukraina, the official organ of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR published here. Among those in attendance were Pavlo Zahrebelny, head of the Ukrainian Writers' Union; Vitally Kordtych, well- known poet and editor of the journal Vsesvit, as well as officials from unions representing composers, artists and architects. Mr. Shcherbytsky reiterated the oft-repeated need for all Soviet artists to stress the accomplishments of Soviet society rather than its Ukrainian members of U.S. and Canadian military at annual Ukrainian Independence Day commemoration in drawbacks.

Efforts will be directed initially towards establishing efficient channels of communication with New York USP as well as implementing the ideas for 1985 activities. In a think-tank type session, over 31 suggestions were made concerning more USP activity in local Plast events, contact and coordination with other Plast branches, active participation in the Ukrainian community, and social and sports- oriented gatherings.
