Paderewski, a recipient of the Legion's Distinguished Service Award in 1926, was the single largest contributor to the Legion's endowment fund for disabled veterans and the orphans of servicemen.

Donovan, in a letter to American Legion National Commander Michael J. Kogutek, referred to the Legion's 1980 Na- tional Convention Resolution No. 9 which urged federal clerical support for the state direc- tors. The Director for Economics of The American Legion said Donovan's action "can be con- sidered a victory " for The American Legion, but will require monitoring in the future to forestall renewed efforts to transfer the secretarial positions to the states.

Box 1055 Country Ir dianapolis, Indiana 4(i20t; (317) 1535 841 1 FOR USE 7-3-81 WASHINGTON, D.C. (ALNS) — American Legion National Commander Michael J. Kogutek dedicated a bronze plaque to the memory of Ignace Jan Paderewski near the Polish pianist and patriot's temporary resting place at Arlington National Cemetery June 29, the 40th anniversary of Paderewski's death. Monsignor Eugene Bilski, director of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, gave the opening and closing prayers at the 2 p.m. observance, speaking in Polish and English. Commander Kogutek, the first Polish-American to head the nation's largest veterans organization, said he was proud to be part of implementing Resolution No. 177 of the Legion's 1980 National Convention authorizing the Legion's Paderewski plaque. He also spoke in both languages. Paul Hume, music editor of The Washington Post who, with his late wife was co-author of a biography of Paderewski, told anecdotes about the great musician illustrating his generosity to "ordinary people." One was about his refusal to hold a Stanford University student — Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States — to a contract the youngster couldn't pay in full. Another was about a backstage music lesson Paderewski gave to a 7-year-old Missouri lad — Harry S. Truman. Color guard units from General Joseph Haller American Legion Post 95 in Baltimore participated in a wreath-laying ceremony while a transcript of a 1923 performance by Pader- ewski of his own "Minuet in G" was played. Polish Ambassador Romuald Spasowski personally placed another wreath before Paderewski's casket. When he died in 1941, Paderewski was president of the National Council in the govern- ment-in-exile of Nazi-occupied Poland. President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered that as a mark of honor, his remains be temporarily placed at Arlington National Cemetery until he could be buried in a free Poland. The coffin was placed in the base of the Mast of the battleship Maine — a Spanish-American War monument near the Tomb of the Unknowns — which was opened for the Legion ceremony. Mylio Kraja, Executive Director of the Legion's Washington Office, was master of ceremonies. In introducing the Post music critic, he noted that Hume, had played a part in the 1963 dedication by President John F. Kennedy of a bronze marker noting the presence of Paderewski's remains. The Legion's plaque, which flanks that one at the top of the steps leading to the Maine memorial, is inscribed: The American Legion IN MEMORY OF IGNACE JAN PADEREWSKI ARTIST, COMPOSER, MUSICIAN, STATESMAN PATRIOT, HUMANITARIAN AND FRIEND OF AMERICAN WAR VETERANS MAY HIS SOUL REST IN THE PEACEFUL FREEDOM HE SO WANTED FOR HIS HOMELAND OF POLAND FRANK MOMSEN MICHAEL J.

Box 1055 li ciianapolis, Indiana 4G206 ja (317) (',35 841 1 Paderewski ceremonies cont'd Paderewski prevailed on President Woodrow Wilson to make an independent Poland one of his famous "14 Points" for peace after World War I, and became his country's first 20th century prime minister. The famed composer and piano virtuoso was also the largest single contributor to an endowment fund created by The American Legion in 1925 to aid disabled veterans and American war orphans. In gratitude, the Legion presented him its highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal. Paderewski's gift to The American Legion's endowment fund for disabled Doughboys and American war orphans was $28,500, the entire proceeds of a 1925 concert tour of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. A spokesman at the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Statistics told ALNS the 1926 dollar had a purchasing power roughly equivalent to $5 in 1981. Thus it would take more than $140,000 to match Paderewski's donation today. Among those attending were Maj. Gen. Robert Arter, commander of the Military District of Washington; retired Lt. Gen. Edward Rowny, named to be the Reagan administration's special representative and chief negotiator for arms control and disarmament negotiations; Peter Bridges, director of the State Department's Office of Eastern European Affairs; Raymond J. Costanzo, superintendent of Arlington National Cemetery; Aloysius A. Mazewski, president of the Polish American Congress, and Jan K.

Hentkowski, second vice commander; Mrs. Bernadette Wiermanski, president/arts of the Polish Cultural Club of Washington; and many other Polish American community leaders from across the country. The ceremony was taped by Radio Free Europe for possible broadcast to Poland.
