Social Security Bill Getting Axe

What happens when the rd-Democrat Iaft-Republi-
can combine controls congressional committee exhibit
ed this week when first made of what
has going behind closed doors of the Senate Finance
Committee considering improvement of the Social Security
system
The House last year passed bill which, although it did
not give President Truman all he had requested proposed
many real improvements in the system The Senate commit
ee which progressves of either party few and far
between, put off hearings until this year For nearly
month the committee has been holding executive sessions
almost daily but far it has taken only those sections
dealing with which workers should have Social Security
The House bill would bring about II million work
under Social Security protection including millions OF
farm workers The Senate committee has decided only
million workers should have the benefits leaving the
farm workers outside despite the pleas of mao farm
ganizatons
Even more serious the Senators say they are against
House proposal which would repeal the Infamous Gearhart
Bill of the worst acts OF the goth (Worst Congress.
This suddenly removed about TOO 900 workers from
Social Security the ground that they independent
contractors though had been paying Social Sc
curity taxes for years.

u. OF d. Maintains
Policy On Negroes
Regulations Permit Entry
Only In Engineering
Study

Trustees of the University of
Delaware, in a letter to 80 mem
bers Of the senior class at DeIa-
ware State College, have informed
the students that, under present
regulations, the engineering course
is the only one at the university
open to Negroes. The State Col
lege seniors sought admission To
the university after their school
was dropped from the accredited
list of colleges.
In statement this week, the
university officials referred TO an
earlier decision of the trustees on
separate Negro and white schools
in Delaware in that il is ga public
policy that should not be departed
from by the board Of trustees of
the University of Delaware, unless
required to do so by a paramount
authority.
The university's regulations, the
statement added, forbid any student
from spending only one term at the
university and then graduating. A
student must, in effect, spend one
year of the four college years at
Newark in order to graduate.
Negro students may enter the
university for a course leading to a
degree when that course is not fur
nished in any educational institu-
ton provided by the state within
the state. Under this setup. one
Negro student is studying engineer
ing at the University Of Delaware.
Other Negro students, with grad
uate status, have studied in sum
mer or evening classes.
