A white North Carolina ex-navy
man who attended school at
Chapel Hill, N. c., said 81 am
sick of North Carolina and those
people there who don't believe in
racial fair play. I have come to
Paris to get away from the things
| saw practiced there, and could
do nothing about. Many have said
I should have stayed there with
my liberal ideas and tried to help
those I came in contact with to
think more fairly. That's all right
to say, but those whites in my
home town are mean, and it would
take a lot of talking, and in many
instances, a lot Of fighting.

He ended by Saying, II know I

her why she liked Paris, "This en-
vironment gives one the courage

WASHINGTON Aug. Is (ANP)
Millions of Negroe workers will
receive increase social security be
efits if the House passes the Soc
ial Security Expansion bill which
was approved by the Ways and
Means committee last Monday.
The committee passed bill guar
antees old age pensions to thou
sands of self employed, domestic
servants, food professors, and to
staete and local government wor-
kers who are not now protected.
This will include the $4,000
Negro owners, perpetrators and
employees in retail stores, the so,
900 employed in processing food,
the 100000 Negroes employed
in domestic service, and $4,000
in local government.
This bill, however, does not inc
Jude farmers and farm workers
as was requested by President Tr-
man. Doctors, Lawyers and some
other workers were also omitted
from the benefits.
While this bill does not give the
President the broad social insur-
ance coverage which he promised
during his campaign, it does at
least give part of what he asked
for.
It is estimated that through

Social Security Bill up For
House Passage

this measure an additional 1000,
900 which President Truman had
anticipated.
There are now 100000 pc
ople holding social security cards
and if this bill is passed it will
bring the total number covered
by social security benefits up a.
round 100000.
The old age insurance will be
boosted from so per cent to $50
per- cent in some categories. This
will necessitate the increase of
social security tax from one to
one and one halh per cent.
1t was decided tentatively by
the committee that this increase
would become effective by Jan. 1
1850, and that the levey would in
crease to two and one half per
cent by 1860 and to three per
cent by 1865.
The bill provides that the re-
tirement age of IS yrs. be lower
ed to 60 for women. The totally
and permanently disabled persons
will receive the same benefits as
they would if they had reached
retirement age.
A retired person would be per-
mitted to earn as much as 5000
a month without loss of benefits,
and persons over rs would be
paid regardless of employment.

WILL INVESTIGATES ANCIENT ESKIMO RUINS

WASHINGTON, R-If you've thought all along that an Eskimo ruin was just a melted igloo, you are wrong, says the Smithsonian Institution.
 Hundreds of years ago EskimoS lived in villages with crude homes made of stone and Whalebone. And scientists from the SmithSon- ian and the National Museum of Canada plan to look for them this summer.
 The expedition will be headed by Dr. Henry B. Collins. of Smith sonian and J. F. Michael of the Museum. It will head for the Ca nadian Arctic archipelago where ruins on CornwalliS Island were first seen 100 years ago.
 The houses probably were built by prehistoric Eskimos of the Thule culture more than 500 years ago. Collins said.

 Government offices were closed yesterday for Ascension Day.
 This meant that official notice couldn't possibly arrive until an hour or two before 2:30 am. PST today-the scheduled time for the wedding.
 The mayor, anticipating crowds, had police endorsements to maintain order in the little village three miles from the chateau.

 The ceremony climaXed TO- month courtship-some called il a roadshoW romance-for Rita, 3l and the 38-year-old heir to mil lions. She has been Roman Catholic; he is Moslem.

Shanghai Runs Up White Flag

 It seemed to be only a matter of hours before this tough knot of resistance, which has delayed communist occupation of North Shanghai, would be wiped out completely.
 The trick was turned when the Reds got a flanking column be- hind the bridge defenders and made a simultaneous attack in front.
 At 5 pm. resistance from the Embankment buildings lower floor was continuing but tenants, including some 800 foreigners, were trying to get the nationalists there to quit fighting.
 Three persons in the Broadway Mansions said they saw a nation alist machine gunner firing from the Red Cross marked entrance to the Shanghai general hospital on the north bank of the creek at the Honan bridge.
 After the white flag was raised at the postoffice occupants tried unsuccessfully to call the atten- tion of the gunner to the flag. The whole city breathed a sigh of relief for the thousands of Chi nese civilians on the bund and north of SoochoW Creek who had been trapped since early Wednes- day. They had endured all sorts of fire.

SHANGHAI (P)-The red blan- ket of communism quietly envel- oped all of Shanghai today.
 The gunfire ceased. The last na- tionalist holdouts surrendered. Veteran troopers peacefully car ried Red rule into the northern part of the worlds fourth largest city.
 The communist occupation was complete three days after it be- gan. Red political officers began taking over the government of the greatest Asian commercial center and its 6,OOO,OOO people.
 The nationalist garrison of Woosung fortress folded up. The government evacuation fleet pull ed out, down the Yangtze and into the East China Sea.
 The ships left behind the na- tionalist troops who had failed to make the l0-mile mort h w r d march down the Whangpoo river escape corridor from Shanghai to Woosung. How many only the Reds would know after they had rounded them up.
 The Sharp-but minor-fighting for Shanghai really was over last night. But not until today did the handful of nationalist rearguards who made the final, mad stand in the heart of the city make up their minds to quit.
 The nationalists stayed as long as they did because they were afraid to quit.
 It was the foreigners trapped in the buildings with them who finally persuaded the last of them to give up.
 Communist troops came and got them this morning. And the thousands of suddenly freed civil ians-Chinese and foreign-burst out into what had been a no-man's land for 50 dangerous hours.

it. The calmest fellow in the Ar
mory was Corley.
Coach Flucie Stewart of the Terps
who depended on an all-sophomore
team due to the illness of Johnny
Edwards and Spence Wright's bad
ankle, was disheartened at the freak
finish, because his team probably
had played its best game of the
season. The Terps had a lot of
scrap, beating Georgetown off the
boards, and Bob Murray, Charley
Mack. Ron Siegrist, Smith and
Frank Armsvorthy formed a start
ing team that might remain as a

Nobody seemed to remember much

Georgetown and Maryland were
tied 51-an with a minute and q
half to play in their intra-city
clash at the Armory last night when
the Hoyas took time out. The
players hustled to their respective
benches for final word with the
coaches and the banter on the
Hoya bench went something like
this.
Get that ball, somehow" Coach
Elmer Ripley said" and hold it for
one last shot. If it goes in. they
won't have time to shoot, and If it
misses, I think we can beat them
in overtime. Now 60 to it."
A few seconds later the Hoyas
recovered the ball on a rebound
The Georgetown rooters among the
scant crowd of 1877 impatiently
yelled shoot, shoot, shoot" but led
by their smart play-maker captain
Ray Corley. the Hoyas paid no at
tention.
Corley slowly brought the ball UP
court, gave it to John Brown who
dribbled into the foul line, faxed
to John Mazziotta, then passed back
to Corley. Meanwhile the clock was
on red, signifying the final minute
and the seconds we're running out.
