Security Card Not Settle
lent Identification

Lincoln, Nebr., Sept. 15-Em-
phatic warning was given today by
Nebraska Unemployment Compen-
sation division officials that So
cial Security cards do not provide
sufficient Identification for CASH
ing checks or other finanial tran
sactions.
Many reports have come to the
Division of Social Security cards
being lost or stolen. In some cases
forged checks have been cashed or
credit extended on the basis of
POSSESSION of a Social Security
care.
These numbers have no signifi-
canoe beyond use as identification
of wage accounts established under
state unemployment compensation
agencies and the federal old age
program and should not be accept
cd by merchants as identification
by persons who seek to open ac-
counts or have checks cashed.
Neither should Social Security
account number cards be regarded
by employers as evidence that
young persons may b ehired in ac-
cordance with child labor require
ments, the warning continued.
Such Social Security cards are
frequently lost or stolen and might
come into the hands of the unscru-
pulous, it was pointed out.

such an alluring attraction and no.

ALTHOUGH | am on the Riv-
iera, news has reached me that
quite a number of American Ne
gro scholars are visiting London.
For example, there is Reed Peg
gram, Fellowship Scholar from
Harvard University and, on my
way through Paris l was informed
that Langston Hughes was just a.
bout to go to London. Then there
was Mr.. Alden from the Art De-
partment. There are several others
about whom I have no space to
write at present. If they make
the right contacts they will serve
a useful purpose in breaking down
some of the prejudice against our
race. I am sorry that l am not in
London to be of service to these
distinguished scholars.

SIN BUSI-
NESS MAN

The small business man has a
distinct place in the American eco
nomic orbit, DIR. Douglas Belle
moro visiting professor at the
University of Omaha, declared to-
day.
An ardent opponent of monopo-
ly, the visiting economist stated
that more than 81 per cent of all
economic activities are carried on
by partnerships.
"1hero is an absolute need for
tho continued existence of these
small enterprises because many
important fields are not well suit
ed to large scale operation" he
said.
DR.. Bellemore, an associate pro-
fessor of economics and account
ing at the University of Toledo,
has just finished teaching courses
in economics and government at
the University of Omaha's first
summer session.
The Toledo economist believes
that in agriculture, in retail SELL
ing, in industries a flexible" pro-
duct and in the professional SER
vices the small entrepreneur will
continue to be most important.
Agriculture will continue to be
tho little mans" filed because
most of the efficiencies and CO.
Monies can be had on the small
farm.
In such retail businesses as the
groeeyr store where personal rela-
tionship is a valuable factor, DIR.
Bellemore says the little fellow
has a good field and could "outsell
the chain stores if he would follow
certain practices.
"Small retailers should band to-
gether in voluntary associations.
Such association facilitates their
ability to buy and to sell.
'hey should put their business
on the same cash and carry ba-
sis as the chains. Overextension
of credit by small retailers has been
a major factor in many failures.
Finally, the small retailer should
standarize his products rather than
try to display a great variety of
brands"
AS an example of a FLEXIBLE"
industry, DIR. Bellemore names the
clothing industry which style plays
such an important role. The small
scale producer is successful in the
making of women's clothing be-
cause style and frequent variable
ty is the rule rather than stan
d%ardization.
""The small business man has q
chance wherever standardization
is not great"
