VETS URGED
TO PAY UP
ASSURANCES

The special dividend on Ma
tional Service Life Insurance
which will be paid starting in
January offers veterans an OPP
crtunity to further increase the
investment in themselves and
their dependents.
By paying their insurance pre-
miums on an annual basis, or
even a halt year at time, vet
eran can realize substantial saw
ings in payments and simultan
eously remove the necessity of
paying each month.
Those veterans who have per-
mitted insurance to lapse can
have it reinstated by merely pay
ing two months premiums and
taking physical examination.
Those with service-connected
disabilities can take a physical
examination without having those
disabilities counted against them,
providing they apply before Dec
embmer 31st. They can also Sc
lect any amount of insurance
from $1,000 to $4,000 in multi
pies of $500.
In Cook County veterans can
receive assistance at the IVC
office located at 4703 South Park
way street in Chicago, Ill.

Economic conditions cause UNI
pleasant qualities to emerge in any
people; result - the struggle for
survival, the dog-eat-dog attitude,
the competition in business, which
all of the Greek people have been
forced into by conditions. But since
st. Paul entered Athens, Greece
has always been a place of mir
acles, said Mrs. Thompson. When
entering the country. it is with a
feeling of piety.
Moderation and harmony
has always been the theme Of
Greek existence, and their
background Of inherited cul-
lure Is the sustaining power
In their present day existence.
Throughout Mrs. Thompson's adj
dress was the vein Of humor that
makes her one of the most adj
mired columnists. Iniative 172. re-
fered to humorously several times,
brought laughter from her large
audience. Mrs. Thompson will write

NEGRO CRITICS
CIRCLE

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Leading
Negro critics and newspapermen,
spurred by the success of the three
current Hollywood films dealing
with stories of Negroes in Amer
lean life, have formed the Negro
Critics Circle, with Ludlow w.
Werner as executive secretary, and
at the same time expressed the
hope that standards of future pro-
auctions will be as high as Home
of the Brave" the first and thus
far judged best.
The Negro Critics Circle, par
alleling the New York Film and
Drama Circle, will be member
ship body and annually, after vote
has been taken, will make awards
to films, plays, books and other
creative efforts, both by Negroes
and dealing with stories affecting
them.
Forming the Circle at its incep-
ton were: Miss Lillian Scott, of
the Chicago Defender James
Hicks, NNPA correspondent in
New York and feature writer for
the American" and Nor
folk Journal & Guide;" Bill Chase.
of THE New York Age" George
Schuyler, of the Pittsburgh Cour-
ier;;" julius Adams, of the cam
sterdam News" Dick Campbell, of
the Sphinx" and Ludlow w. Wer-
ner, of the Oracle"
Expressing the belief that mo-
ton pictures and the theatre are
strong influences on the educative
processes of people and demo-
cratic process at work, the Circle
said 1t feels obligated to extend,
encourage and develop opportun-
tiles" for Negroes in those fields,
to assure full, purposeful partici-
patton of Negroes in the motion
picture industry and theatre on a
high level and plane"
After evaluating Home of the
Brave" Lost Boundaries" and
"Pinky." the Circle judged Home
of the Brave" the "best of the
three productions from the stand
point Of its social impact on racial
relations as the one film which
deals with the problem in the most
straightforward manner without
offense or apologies"

HOUSING:
Action Seen

Indications were that despite OPP
position from many quarters, the
administrators big new housing
bill would get out Of committee and
go to the house floor for action.
THE RULES committee. which
twice last year killed similar legis-
lation, had refused to clear the cur
rent bill. But Rep. A. J. SABBATH
3D., ILL., was predicting the COM
mittee would act to clear the meas
ure.
SABBATH was on fairly safe ground,
for under the new house "anti-
bottleneck" procedure adopted in
January, the multibillion = dollar
housing bill could be put to a house
vote over the rules committees
objections.
THE housing program, one of
President Truman's major cam
paign promises. vas approved by
the senate April 81 on a 81 to 10
vote. 1t then begged down in the
house.
The bill calls for a vast program
of slum clearance. low-rent hous-
ing and farm housing aids.
Laurel outlook., 1949-06-22
TRUMAN
Drops Curb Bill

There was one thing about Presi-
dent Truman-he was beginning to
develop the ability to recognize a
hint when he saw it. There have
been times when the President
seemed to suffer from an ability
to do that. but now it's different.
The President, obviously with an
understanding ear to the ground,
has decided he won't press con
gress to give him standby war
powers.
THAT'S not only wise of the
President, it's good strategy. par
ticularly since it would have been
impossible for the administration
to convince the 81st congress that
any such powers are needed.
However, there was an official
reason advanced for the change in
detectives. One authority described
the revision of plan as a quiet
standardization" of the national
security resources board on White
House orders. In other words, the
emphasis would be away from keep
ing the people agitated and alerted
for possible future war.
THE war powers bill would have
provided a detailed mobilization
act covering priority and seizure
powers, controls over prices, man.
power; production and transporta-
ton. 1t would, if enacted, go into
effect automatically on the declara-
ton of war emergency by congress.
Mr.. Truman was said to have
decided it would be inappropriate
to try to get such a law passed in
peacetime.

DEPRESSING:
Right Now

81 regret" the senator from
Maine said. that we are now in a
state of depression. 1t is not a thing
OF the future. 1t is right now"
After thus evoking the spirit of
the 1905. Sen. Owen Brewster an
nounced blandly that senate Re-
publicans shortly would sponsor a
50-million-dollar public-works and
relief-planning program ito meet
the growing Democratic depres-
sion."
THE BILL to be projected along
these lines would not in itself pro-
vide funds for public works, but
merely would finance the planning
Of a shelf" of such works to be
started when deemed advisable.
Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio. who
also is in On the deal, said that
what he had in mind was a bill
that would establish the framework
for federal grants to states if their
relief cases should reach a certain
percentage of their total population.
Said Taft: what we Republicans
want to avoid is the creation Of
another WPA like Harry Hopkins
ran"
Without trying to guess how much
relief spending might be necessary
under such a plan, Senator Brew
ster opined that would depend up
on just how bad this Democratic
depression gets"
Whether this relief bill" pro-
posal is sincere or whether it is a
cynical attempt to discredit the ad-
ministration in the face of the COM
ing 1850 elections. only time would
tell.
