HOW MUCH SOCIAL SECURITY
WILL YOU RECEIVE AT IS?

Retirement payments under the
Social Security Administration
Federal Old-Age and Survivors In
surace program are made: % Ia
you at age 65 or later If you are
fully insured under the program
and meet the retirement test; (2)
to your wife If she, too, has
reached IS; and go for any child
rem under Is, natural or adopted
The base amount of your retire
ment benefit payments is defin-
itely related to your average dur
ing your entire period Of employ
ment. In addition. percent is add
ed to that base amount for each
year that you have earned 5000 or
more on jobs covered by this pro-
gram.
Benefits OF retired individuals
range from a minimum of $40
a month to a maximum Of S44.8O
a month at the present time.
II your wife or child Is qualified,
each receives an additional pay
ment equal to one-haIf of your
benefit.
These retirement benefits are
payable only to workers who have
acquired fully insured" status
under this law through a substan-
cial period Of employment. In sur
vivor cases, which we will discuss
in a later article, it is possible to
make payments based upon a rela-
lively short period of work. How
ever, for retirement payments it
must be established that the work
er is fully insured" Here is what
that means:
You must have worked in COW
cred jobs approximately half of
the time between January l. 1887,
and the time you reach IS. How
ever, once you have acquired 40
quarters Of coverage that is, 10
full years in covered jobs-you
have become fully insured for life.
This does not mean, however, that
the benefit amount stands still. If
you continue to work in covered
employment after acquiring 40
qualifying quarters of employment,
your benefit. generally speaking,
increases. If you leave covered en-
Ployment. it decreases, just as it
does If your wage in covered en-
ployment falls substantially.
Many employees nearing the
retirement age are concerned
about whether or not their
monthly benefits from the social
security plan will be suspended
II they have other Income. The
rule IL simple.
Monthly insurance under social
security may not be received for
any month during which the ben
eficiary earns SIS or more in work

fit is suspended for any month in

MOTION PICTURE URGED TO GIVE
NEGROES BETTER ROLES, ERIC
JOHNSON GIVES MUCH HOPE

lures urging that Negroes and
other minority groups be por,
rayed In authentic roles In motion
pictures, was presented to Eric
johnson, president Of the Motion
Picture Association of America
last Thursday, by John Brantley
Wilder, outstanding artist OF
Philadelphia
In line with President Truman's
Idea Of importing democracy to
the world, Wilder pointed out the
essentially Of having minorites
pictured in true roles on the sceen,
as moving pictures are chief source
OF displaying democracy abroad.
The young artist stated three
reasons for protesting against the
type Of roles usually assigned to
colored actors and actresses in
films. As an artist he said, he was
interested from the standpoint of
art. Secondly, he declared that he
was interested because Of his de-
Vouon and respect for his race:
and third, because Of his great
belief in democracy, He, therefore,
Bpearheaded this movement to get
citizens to sign a protest against
the present Hollywood practices.
This petition was significant
In that these names were obtained
chiefly in a reactionary city like
Philadelphia rather than in a more
liberal place like New York. Among
the signatures appearing on this
scroll was that Of the mayor of
Philadelphia. A number of minor
ity groups including Italians,
Chinese, japanese, Jews and Cath
ohcs Joined with Negro citizens
In this campaign.
johnson said that the faults of
America are being greatly ex-
Rggerated by our enemies abroad
and that America must have fair
treatment for all OF its minority
groups. He stated that the asso-
citation is working very rapidly
to achieve these goals.
Tho motion picture industry
has made some progress In the
last few years declared the ~.
ISOLATION executive. He pointed
out that Jane White, daughter
Of Walter White, Is now In HOl-
lywOod working on the script Of
''Pinky.
johnson further stated that the
moving picture association is now
carrying on a court case against
the city of Memphis for its CEN
sure Of the picture Curly, be-
cause 1t portrayed some Negro
boys playing roles equal to those
played by other citizens.
They expect to carry this case
70 the Circuit Court Of Appeals
and one to the U. 8. Supreme
Court II necessary. II is their
purpose, declared johnson, TO es-
tabllSh freedom Of speech OF all
peoples.
Wilder made 1t clear that he
was neither Directing to Negro
comedians In pictures nor protest
ing Negroes acting in the role Of
maids, pullman porters or in other
service occupations, but he was
requesting that Negroes also be
given the role Of doctors, lawyers,
politicians or other professions,
on some occasions.
He stated that he was greatly
encouraged by the conference with
Johnston.
Edgar G, Brown president of
the National Negro Council, who
was present at the conference, was
high in his praise OF the ath-
tude taken by the motion picture
executive on this question Of min
