Metro SATURDAYJULY12, 1980 PAGE 18 THE EVENING SUN A priest is trying to give Slavs a voice 1 3,000 people added to city's census count I pi ftIM 1 I 4 I is leading efforts to attract delegates from around the country to the Slavic-American National Convention at the Convention Center Aug. 22, 23 and 24. According to its backers, the convention will be the first national gathering of Slavic-Americans in several decades. Slavs include persons of Bohemian, Ukrainian, Polish, Byelorussian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Macedonian, Ruthenian, Bulgarian and Russian descent. Father Dornic is pastor of St Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church, housed in an old brick structure wedged between rowhouses in Fells Point.

From his rectory, a sparsely furnished second-floor apartment next door to the church, Father Dornic explained his philosophy of the plight of Slavs in America. The 46-year-old priest said discrimination against Slavic-Americans can be especially acute in the corporate world, where a name on an employment application can immediately identify a person of Slavic background. "We are a minority with a visible identity of a minority, similar to color," Father Dornic said. "Before you know that Joe Brown is black, Continued on Page 5, CoL 1 By Mark Parrent More than 20 years ago, the Rev. Ivan Domic came to the United States to escape brutal religious repression in Czechoslovakia, where he had been involved in the "underground church" for five years.

But, after living in this country for several years, he says he began to notice another, more mild form of oppression. It was not directed at religion, nor was it necessarily an active policy of the government It was, to him, an oppression and discrimination that had its roots in the minds of many of the people. The victims of the bias have one thing in common, according to Father Dornic: Their roots are in the Slavic nations, a group of countries now behind the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe. Father Dornic claims that almost one in four, or 50 million, Americans are members of this minority group. Unlike other minority groups, however, the Slavic-Americans don't have a powerful lobbying organization nor are they beneficiaries of government-sponsored affirmative action programs.

But Father Dornic is trying to change that and sees the organization of a national voice for Slavic-Americans as a first step. Toward that goal, Father Dornic By Nancy Minkoff Some 13,000 people have been added to the city's population count, according to Mayor Schaefer, and additional residents are expected to be added next week. The addition was good news to the Mayor, who has been extremely disturbed by preliminary census figures showing a drop in the city's population from more than 900,000 in 1970 to less than 740,000 counted so far this year. Mayor Schaefer insisted at a press conference yesterday that the city's population is about 810,000 people. Although a vast number of people still have to be found to meet the Mayor's population estimate, the recent addition, which came from the West Baltimore census office, is encouraging.

Janet Tippitt, who heads the West Baltimore office on Calvert street, said the 13,000 were not counted in the fig-ores presented to the Mayor two weeks ago because the original numbers included only the people who were counted between April 1, the day census forms were mailed, and May 29. The people added to the tally this week were counted after May 29. Evening Sun photo Wevman Swagger REV. IVAN DORNIC Organizing first Slavic-American National Convention Rocks and bottles thrown Mary Taylor, head of the East Baltimore census office on Commerce street, said more people will be added from her area next week. They are people who live in homes that were listed as vacant after the initital census process began, she said.

They were discovered during follow-up operations. Along with the most recent additions, officials from both the east and west offices said others will be counted before the census operation comes to a halt in August. The numbers released to the Mayor so far are part of a local review program whereby local officials are given a preview of census findings so far. The officials can study the numbers and recommend areas that they feel have been undercounted based on building permits issued, aerial maps and other planning department devices. At a press conference yesterday Mayor Schaefer said the East Baltimore census office told him that "mechanical problems'' within the office may have contributed to the undercount.

Tom Marudas, an aide to the Mayor, told the press conference that the city has never felt the mailing lists the bureau used in its mail-out and follow-up procedures were comprehensive enough. The lists are a combination of old and updated mailing lists from large mail-order houses. In an effort to make sure that the city covers all of the territory the census bureau covered, and some that it may not have, Mr. Marudas is organizing a task force of city workers to can vass neighborhoods and seek out people who never responded to the census. Also, the city planning department is carefully scrutinizing the numbers in an effort to justify to the bureau that mistakes have been made.

The studies already have shown several blocks that were overlooked by the bureau. A complete and accurate count of the city's population is important because billions of federal dollars are divided among jurisdictions throughout the country based on population as deter mined by the census. The numbers also are used to draw state and federal political districts. Since 1950 the census has shown a decline in the number of people who live in the city. But this year's decline marks the largest population drop in 30 years.

Haynes The Harford Opera Theater's new production of Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" has about everything going for it a fine and extremely talented cast, first-class direction, good sets and lighting, and a well-equipped, comfortable hall. Everything except one vital element an audience. Last night's performance went on before a pitifully small turnout that failed to fill the center section of the auditorium of Harford Community College in Bel Air. At most, only 125 seats were filled.

Those who stayed away missed a "Don Pasquale" that would do credit to many a major opera company such as the New York City Opera. In fact this reviewer is willing to go on record as stating it is one of the finest musical experiences he has had in 50 years of concert and theater-going. What makes the Harford production so outstanding is its cast There are only four persons in vocal roles, but they all sing superbly and act with equal ability. Almost without exception they are seasoned opera performers. To begin, the name lead is handled by Steve Williams, a gifted 28-year-old bass-baritone, who portrayed to perfection the doddering old Don Pasquale who gets tricked into a fake marriage with a shrewish young widow.

Elena Clancy, the widow Norma, has a marvelous full-throated coloratura soprano voice and has looks to match. She handled the traditional Donizetti trills and runs with amazing ease. In the role of the scheming Dr. Mala-testa was David Troup whose baritone is a perfect match for that of Mr. Williams.

The two formed a hilarious comic team that kept the audience roaring. Ernesto, the lover of Norina, was given a highly capable interpretation by tenor George Murray. As an ensemble, the four were magnificent with a perfect blend of voices. There was nothing left to be desired. CLOSE TO THE HARBOR Federal Hill Historical Area 405 GRIND ALL ST.
