Social Security Job For
Employers Do Important
Workers In Their Plants

Many workers are unaware of the
job their employers do in helping
carry out the provisions of the So
cial Security Act.
The employer not only collects
and pays social security contribu-
tions but is required to give wage
receipts to all persons in his en-
ploy; that is, if the work is covered
by the provisions of the Social Sc
curity Act.
The wage receipts or wage state
ments must be in writing and must
be in a form which the employees
can keep. A salary check bearing
the required information about an
employees wages is not enough be-
cause the worker has to relinquish
the check when he cashes it.
Often, however, the employer
gives the worker his check with a
detachable stub, with the wage
statement on the stub.
The employer, in a wage state
ment, is required to give his name,
the workers name and social Sc
curity number, the amount of
wages, the period for which the
wages were paid and the amount
of the employees social security
contribution.
The statement must cover at least
one three-month period calendar
quarter) and not more than one
year. 1t must be furnished to the
employee not later than the last day
of the second calendar month fol-
lowing the period covered by the
statement, except when the en-
ployee leaves his job. In that event,
the final statment must be provided
when the wage payment is made.
For further information get in
touch with Miss Margaret F. Boil
ton, manager of the Dayton, Ohio
field office of the Social Security
Board.

CONFERENCE TO listen
TO NEGROES ON
COLONIAL AFFAIRS
Continued from page II


Such commission would, in the
recommendation of the council, have
as its function, in addition to those
advanced in the proposals of the
NAACP, the promotion of "the
fullest measure of international CO.
operation in securing for all colon
ial areas the modernization of the
enemy, including industrialization
wherever practicable; improvement
of education, health and other social
services, transportation, communi-
cation, and other similar matters.
To this end an international fund
advanced by these two organiza-
tions are new. Nearly all of them
are already the declared policy Of
the major trustee nations of the
world. There should be little diff
Guilty in establishing the law of in
ternational responsibility over col
onies.
Some Empires to Object
The real battle will probably re-
volve around attempts by some of
the empires to avoid having the
principles of equality and controls
applied to all the colonies-espe-
cially theirs.
In this relation the intelligence
of the Negro bodies in using their
influence with the L. S. delegation
to advance depends in support of
the fundamental issues involved
rather than any immediate and un-
selfish gains reflects great credit
on the maturity of thinking among
their leaders.
Such a program Of recommended
tions indicates clearly that our
leaders are thinking beyond race
that they realize that the Negro
cannot march forward except to-
gether with all men Of all races and
nationalities.
Negroes can we'll be proud of
such men.

Plea 10 Home Front
Is Made by Stimson

Secretsry Of War Stimson de-
clared today that "our great purpose
is to maintain the momentum of the
present operations in a tremendous
effort to bring the war in Europe to
a prompt conclusion"
Addressing special appeal to
workers at his weekly press confer
ence, Mr.. Stimson asked the press
to convey the following message to
the public:
Here at home the Army is oper-
atlng under the heaviest pressure
IN an effort to meet the insistent
demands of various theaters. At no
time since We have been in the war
has the pressure been so heavy and
the requirement so great, and at no
time has it been so important that
we meet these demands without de-
lay or discussion.
Our great purpose is to maintain
the momentum of the present opera
tions in a tremendous effort to bring
the war in Europe to a prompt con-
clusion. Although the postwar dis
.cuSslons now under way are of the
greatest Importance to this and all
other countries, we must always bear
IN mind there can be no postwar
action until We achieve a victory
There can be no real economies in
lives and dollars until we bring this
fighting to successful conclusion. -

little of the basic structure was

The old caretaker, who spoke ex-

was first hit in the raid of June 26.

since.
FreScoes in the sanctuary were

valuable pictures, statues, vestments

Stained-glass windows were removed
early in the war and taken into
Central Germany to a place of safe
keeping.
In the deep shelters beneath the
cathedral about 1000 civilians had
taken refuge. They could not have
found better sanctuary. Through
the day other civilians came to join
them and wait until the war passed
them by.
The miracle of the Dom probably
will become legend, and people
will say its fragile loveliness is in

Murphy, Back in U. S.
Expected 10 Discuss
Allied Rule in Reich
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Ambassador Robert D. Murphy,
Gen. Eisenhow's ranking adviser on
German affairs, has returned from
Supreme Allied Headquarters to
confer with President Roosevelt and
other American officials.
The exact nature of his mission
remains unexplained, although it
comedies with an approaching new
period of operations and civilian
control inside Germany The State
Department says only that Mr..
Murphy is making one of his
periodic trips back to Washington.
There is reason to believe. how
ever, that one of the critical ques-
tions now to be answered is: What
attitude should be taken by Allied
military authorities toward general
cleanup and reconstruction work in
Germany with view first to speed
the march to victory and second to
lay the foundation for long-range
control and paciflcation of Ger
many.
To a considerable extent, Mr. Muir
phys advice should be a determining
factor in fixing policy on this issue.
In order to provide common policies
over Germany and allow for CO.
ordination with the other Allied
powers it must be tied in with the
decisions at the Yalta Conference of
the Big Three Tt is considered rrob
able, therefore, that much of Mr..
Murphy's work will concern the
Yalta talks.

Twelve members of the Ranger

Roosevelt today as they prepared
for Nationwide tour of war
plants.
The President shook hands with
the two officers and 10 enlisted men
who were introduced by Gen. JOS

Army Ground Forces.
Mr.. Roosevelt was particularly in
terested in the new Philippine liber-
alton ribbon worn by the men and
examined closely that of Capt
Robert W.'Prihce, 25. Seattle, Wash.
ranking officer in the group. Mr.
Roosevelt said it was the first time
he had seen the ribbon.
The IL men were part of a group
of 121 Rangers and Alamo Scouts
who joined with $50 Filipino guer-
rillas for the raid on the stockades
in which they wiped out the JAP
