SECURITY NUMBERS
BEING DISTRIBUTED
Post Office Is Mailing Per-
manent Records to En-
! ployees in City

Numbers for individuals are now
being forwarded to workers served by
the Henderson post office for their
participation in the social security
act, and the process is being carried
on as rapidly as possible.
A corps of stenographers has been
at work at the post office for several
days entering names on the number
cards, and these have been completed
in sufficient quantities now to per-
NIT their return to employers for dis
tribution.
The rule being followed is to send
the number cards back in the same
manner as they were sent in to the
post office. That is, if they were for
warded in blocks by employers they
will be returned in the same way. If
sent in individually, they will lie mail
ed back to individuals.
The job is far from complete, de-
spite the feverish efforts at speed in
disposing of the task. Two or three
weeks ago the post office ran short
of blanks for individual workers to
fill out giving data about themselves
and a supply ordered at that time had
not been received at the post office
today, thus delaying the work in its
early stages for a great many people
A second request has been made for
a fresh supply Of the cards.
Several weeks may be required to
complete the entire job here, it was
estimated by Postmaster j. r. Tea
que who is in charge of the prelimi-
naries here. When the records have
been completed, they will be forward
ed to the regional office of the So
cial Security Board in Baltimore
which serves several states in this
section of the country

FASCIST TREND
IN u. s, is seen
IN FORUM HERE
Six Speakers at Kirshbaum
Take Text From Novel
by Sinclair Lewis.

Fascist tendencies in the United
States were considered today by an
audience that heard six speakers
discuss Sinclair Lewis novel, 1T
Can't Happen Here" last night in
Kirshbaum Center.
The speakers, appearing under the
auspices of the American League
Against War and Fascism, were
Rabbi Elias Charry, Miss Ruth S.
Martin, social worker; Miss Mar
garet English of the American Stu
dent Union, De Paw University; the
Rev. M. w. Clair Jr., Simpson M. E.
Church pastor; Joseph H. Friend,
Indiana University extension pro-
lessor, and Tristram Coffin, Indian
apolis Newspaper Guild president.
Treatment of Negroes in the
South, strike breaking tactics, the
tanning of racial hatreds and ac-
tions of the Liberty League and
William Randolph Heart, as a pub
Usher, were described as tending
toward FaSclSm.
Jewish Persecution Noted
Rabbi Charry said that Fascists,
attempting to hush the cries of the
people for freedom and food, hit
upon a scapegoat to prosecute.
THE most terrible thing about
Germany is the way Nazis make
the Jews feel toward themselves.
The Jews are not given the sur
cease of death, their agonies must
be prolonged by humiliation and
degradation" Rabbi Charry said.
Miss Martin said that under a
Fascist state women would lose
their independence and become
used for breeding and housekeeping
only, and Rev. Clair said that Ne
groes would be robbed of their
property and placed in ccncentra-
ton camps.
Youth First Victim
Miss English told of meeting an
anti-Nazl German youth, who
told her the only salvation of Ger
man youth was the overthrow of
Hitler. She pointed out that it is
the youth that is first called to
fight Fascist wars.
Prof Friend said that profess
sional men were forced to prostitute
their talents for the Fascist state,
and Mr.. Coffin pointed out that
honest newspaper men were among
the first victims of "the armed ter
rorism of Fascism"
"Fascism can not stand the light
Of objective analysis and criticism,
SO the Fascists must crush the free
dom of the press. Newspaper men
in Fascist countries who dare to
speak the truth are imprisoned,
murdered or deported," Mr.. Coffin
said.
