No Negro is granted a guaranteed

NAZI RACIAL.
DOCT RINE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-(CNA)--
Official Nazi theories of superior
and inferior races are scathingly
denounced in a manifesto signed by
1924 American scientists, including
three Noble Prize winners.
The manifesto condemns ssthe
Fascist position towards science"
and the persecution of racial minor
tiles. 1t points out that the s'racial
theories which they (Nazi and Fas-
cists( advocate have been demolish-
ed time and again
American scientists, the manifes-
to states, "hold fast to their con-
viction, that, in the words of the
resolution adopted by the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science, Science is wholly inde-
pendent of national boundaries and
races and creeds and can flourish
only when there is peace and intel
lectual freedom" 1T stresses the ne
cessity for scientists to "educate
the people against the acceptance
Of all false and unscientific doct-
rines which appear before them in
the guise of science, regardless of
their origin"
Professor Franz Boas of Column
bia university, dean of American
anthropologists, in releasing the
manifesto to the press, assaileI Nazi
"racial science" as "racial nonsense
He warned of their spread by athe
agents of Fascism in this country"
The present outrages in Ger
many have made it all the more
necessary for American scientists
to take a firm anti-fascist stand. We
are sure that the great majority of
German scientists, and the German
people as a whole, abhor Fascism.
The thousands Of teachers and sci
entists who have been exiled since
Hitler came to power bear testi-
mony to the incompatibility Of Fas-
cism and science.
Our manifesto declares that we
scientists have the moral obligation
to educate the American people
against all false and unscientifc
doctrines, such as the racial non
sense Of the Nazi. The agents of
Fascism in this country are becom-
ing more and more active,and we
must join with ali men Of good will
in defending democracy today if we
are to avoid the fate Of our col
leagues in Germany, Austria and
Italy,

SECOND YEAR
OF OLD-AGE
ms. SYSTEM

| More than $4,000 workers in the
Lima field Office of the Social Secur-
ity Board are entitled to join today
in celebrating the second anniver-
sary of the establishment of the
Federal old-age insurance system.
This statement was made by Will
liam A. Ashbrook, manager of the
Lima field office, in summarizing
progress made in this area and in
the country ass a whole since the
social security program went into
effect on January /, 1887.
''Tn the nation as a WHOLE" said
| Mr.. Ashbrook, more than 10000
900 wage earners have applied for
old-age insurance accounts. Our
own office, since it was opened on
July l, 1887, has issued more than
10000 numbers for the residents of
the seven counties which serve. In
addition, it is estimated that more
than $4,000 social security numbers
were issued by post offices in these
seven counties before we began to
type numbers in our office in the
Cook Tower"
ANY worker who desires to know
the status of his social security
wage record for 1897 may get this
information by applying on post
cards which we will supply Mr..
Ashbrook added.
The Lima Office manager stressed
the Importance of the claims work
done in the area which deserves.
in the year 1888, 353 claims for
lump-sum benefits, or money pay
ments, now due the old-age insur-
anee plan and filed through our
Office, had been certified for pay
ment," Mr.. Ashbroog said.
Payments are now being made
to workers who reach age IS after
having worked in employment COW
cred by The Social Security Act.
Payments also are being made to
the heirs or estates of workers who
have died since January /, 1887,
after having been similarly en-
ployed."
Mr.. Ashbrook said that in the ma
lion as whole more than 265,000
such payments have been certified,
amounting to more than $11,000,-
900. The country-w average of
claims certified in November Of this
year was S64.36, he added.
The Lima field Office is one of
35 in Region v, which includes the
States of Kentucky, Ohio and Mich
igan. Headquarters Of the Region is
in Cleveland, G. Il. Parker being
regional director.

SOUTHERN
WHITES LAUD
SPEECH OF
DEAN PICKENS

GASTONIA, N. G., Jan. A.
(ANP)-A speech evoking consid-
cradle discussion here was deliver
ed here recently by Dean William
Pickens, director of branches,
NAACP, his topic being the .'Edu-
cational Equality" decision handed
down fortnight ago by the United
States Supreme Court in the Lloyd
Gaines University of Missouri dis
elimination suit, and which held
that the university must permit
Gaines to enroll as student.
Discussing the decision from
every angle, including its effect on
Southern states generally, Pickens
called uncompromisingly for equal
appropriations for education for Me-
gro students. Under such logic, he
said, the white Southerner is ex-
pected at best to be tolerant, espe-
cially when the spirit is friendly.
Impressed by Dean Pickens' ad-
dress, all Of the white persons pres
ent joined the NAACP and three of
them made commendatory speeches
the secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce, the editor of the daily
paper and a prominent minister.
the latter said: Dean Pickens GER
tainly impressed me when he said
that the only way in the world for
one man to keep another man
down is to stay down on him.
White as well as black will be bene-
fitted by getting the black man up
and encouraging his advancement"
Pickens described the Supreme
Court ruling as: "The greatest ju-
dicial life ever given to Negro edu-
cation in our public schools"
