PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: I wasn't surprised when
ran into a lot of folks, as got
around to my favorite Spots, who
wanted TO know, WHAT DID
THEY DO OUT TO THAT REC
REATION CONFERENCE" and
although I got little wrought up,
because they should have been
there, I tried to tell them, as best
I could about some of the things
done at the conference. One thing
that was done out there won't add
any wind to the sails of us jack
Sonians who pride ourselves as
being in the biggest town in the
state, with most of the biggest
Negro leaders In the state here
with us, and that was, when they
organized that Mississippi Recrea-
ton Association, nobody from
Jackson was mentioned, let alone
elected to any Office, and that
was because none of the folks
showed any continued interest IN
the thing and wasn't there
when election time came. AS I
see it the Mississippi Recreation
Association may turn out to be i'm
portant in obtaining Parks and
Fairgrounds for Negroes in Mis-
sissippi, things in which Jackson
should take the lead, but how
could we, when we weren't there.

INSTRUMENTS ARE
SOUGHT HERE

An appeal to Wilmington citizens
to lend musical instruments to the
local USO's was made yesterday
by Albert G.. Weide7saul, mu-
sic and dramatics di ctor.
Music is one of the most vital
phases in the USO program" he
said, "but we do need instruments
especially a piano"
Mr.. Weidensaul stated that ev-
cry day some Ser &c man or wo-
man asks for musical instruments,
and he hoped that families that
have instruments which their sons
and daughters have left at home
when entering the service would
lend them to the USO.
I'VE will put them in first class
condition." he said, land will be
responsible for them.' They Will
be returned to the owners at the
end of the war or at any other
time if the owner requests it.
Instruments which servicemen
want, and which the club does not
have, are guitar, ,coronet, banjo,
drums, violin. clarinet and from
bones.

eys from general revenues to assure
minimum subsistence, is it sound thai
it should, through wage taxes, take
money out of wages which are only
sufficient for mere subsistence
| Would it not be more consistent with
| the principles of social security that,
in the case of workers whose earn
lings are insufficient to furnish them
with a recent livelihood and who
should be exempt from taxation, the
government should contribute to the
social insurance found to provide
benefits for all. Great Britain, and
virtually every other civilized country
in the world, has recognized the nee
essity of government contribution to
social security.
A Practical and Sound Program
While, as we have indicated above.
our position is that social security
should be financed through general
taxation, this, we appreciate, is a mat
ter of social policy on which a ma
jority of Americans must be con-
WINGED. For the present, and until an
appreciation of the soundness of that
position becomes general, we believe
that, at the very least, social security
should be financed in part through
government contribution from gen.
eral revenues. The National Lawyers
Guild, at it's 1943 convention, adopted
the position that the government
CHI f,.,I 70 %
quirements of the social security
budget.
Equally important, in our view, is
the Guild position with respect to the
necessity for exemptions in any sys
tenn Of wage taxes. The Guild posi-
in this regard, as adopted at its 1943
is that there should be
exemption from contribution of wages
which are at or below subsistence
level The principle here is clear.
Certainly no worker whose wages are
to provide him with more
those wages cut or reduced by wage
taxes.
Enactment of the Bill Is
Urgently Required In the Interests
of the American People.
We have, in the foregoing analysis,
presented the social security prob
ems which the bill is designed to
meet. We have also indicated re-
,pects in which the Sill might be i'm
proved.
Beyond any question, the bill is a
raluable and significant advance in
he march toward the achievement of
ocial security for our country. We
relieve that he bill, good as it is, can
,e improved in the respects we have
Indicated We believe, further, that
he effort to improve it must not be
permitted to delay the enactment of
he bill because of the enormous ben
fits which the American people would
erive from it in its present form.
We urge all Americans to rally to
he support of the bill and to the
fort to improve it.

Analysis of the
WACNER-MJ RRAY-DINCELL BILL
axd he SociaI Med Which Meets
Bv the NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD
and the Social Security

The bill still leaves it to the state:
to determine whether or not they viii
erect standards in conformity with {
federal standard as a condition o.
receiving federal funds. Suppose 6
state does not set up public assist
ance plan which meets the standards
proposed If it does not, then the
bill provides nothing for public as
sistance for that state. Suppose the
state sets up an inadequate system
which pays in benefits only a frac
| ton of the amount necessary to main
| tain life in health and decency. Then
| all the federal government would pay
would be its proportionate share of
these inadequate allowances. Today.
the Social Security Act authorizes the
federal government to pay one-half of
old age assistance payments by a
state up to $40 per month to single
individuals. Yet 1909 or more of
grants in each of SO jurisdictions were
less than the federally aided maxi
num-" Average payments for old
age assistance in seven jurisdictions
were less than $40 per month, and in
eighteen they were. less than $40 per
month, and in twenty-four they were
less than $50 per month.
1t is thus evident that if the states
fail to meet federal standards as they
have failed to take advantage of full
federal grants in the past, the only
result will be that the Americans liv-
ing in such states will not receive
the assurance of minimum security
which is the goal of the bill
If we have come to the realization
that unemployment insurance and
health insurance should not be on a
state basis but should be federalized,
why should we not similarly conclude
that public assistance should be on a
federal basis? There is no reason
why person who is unemployed for
more than six months and who has
exhausted his right to unemployment
insurance benefits should then be re-
ferred to local and state public as
sistance authorities. Under the pill,
the federal government would pay
1870 of the cost of public assistance
for many of the states. Why should
an unemployed person in state
where the federal government is pay
ing 1870 of the relief be compelled |
to turn from federal unemployment |
insurance to state system of public |
1t is no argument to say |
that the localities have detailed and |
intimate knowledge of the needs of
heir people, because a federal sys-
tenn is not inconsistent with local
administration. From
he standpoint of administration, all
he waste, overlapping and duplica-
ion of state systems could be avoided.
So long as the social insurance pro-
gram is limited to an insured portion
If the population, and a portion of
he population is in need of assist
lnce to be provided outside the social
insurance system, it is clear that a
unified public assistance
Program is necessary to assure mini
mum security for the American pao
lie.

/ Some time ago there was a very
striking cartoon in the London Daily
Herald which was reprinted in the
New York Times. 1t showed two
Nazi soldiers on the way back to Ger
many, each bearing big bag of loot
Behind them is ruined city whose
flaming buildings blaze against the
sky With fear in his eyes, one sol.
der is crying to the other, "But the
winds in THIS directionl"
Where blows the wind? The holo-
caust started as a small blaze Japan
moved into Manchuria We shrugged
our shoulders and said that the fire
was on the other side of the world.
Italy attacked Ethiopia and we said,
isn't it too bad?" The Nazis began
their persecution of the Jews-and we
shed crocodile tears and said, 1--WE
can do nothing we don't interfere
with the internal affairs of any ma
ton" Then Hitler's legions started
their relentless march over Europe
and we said: 1T does seem as though
Europe could clean its own house"
We should have known better-we
who have had experience with forest
fires, who know that a dropped match
or carelessly thrown away cigarette
can bring devastation to acres of tim
berland, engulfing farms and villages
as it spreads.
Where blows the wind? Ask those
who first bombed civilians-ask them
as they stand in their ruined cities
with their dead around them. Who
started all this? The German people
can suffer and complain, but they had
surrendered their bodies and souls.
even before the war began, and they
are now powerless to control their
destiny. Where blows the wind?
1t is right to be merciful-but not
right to be maudlin. Twice in a gen
