Many Lose Social
Security Payments
Bylate Filing

March 31st, was the last day on
which persons eligible to benefits
under the new Social Security law
could put in an application and
have the payment retroactive to
September last year.
Mr.. M. B. White, Manager Of
the Jackson Social Security office,
says that good many eligible peo-
pie let this day go by and thus
cannot receive payment for Sep
TENDER, 1850. 1t is still not too
late for these people to file their
application and have the payments
go back to October, however, if
they put in their claim in April.
The reason for this back pay
ment is that the new law permits
the Social Security Administration
to go back six months before the
application was filed if the appli-
cant was eligible during those
months.
These payments are to workers
and their wives or widows past 65,
to their widows with young chill
dren, or to dependent parents.
Widows with young children where
the husband served in World War
II especially should look into this
and also persons over rs who are
still working.
Letters or postcards should be
addressed as follows:

Stop Pooling Yourself To He'll
There are only a few who obey
Gods will
Yet thousands has a will of their
own
Claiming they are a child of God
And expect to make heaven their

Gods house is fill with this and
that
Yet the Bible calls for love
So you have to get in the will of
God
If you. expect to enter Gods
Heaven above.
Jesus came and made it plain
To save the ones that was lost
And all who would believe on him
Will know that | am the boss.
He said whosoever believe on Him
Should have an eternal life as
we'll
And whosoever believe it not
Their souls are doomed to He'll.

For the sins of the people that were
lost
Some day in Him we must a.

"anti-admin1stration elections, un-
der the banner of the roster,
which is the Democratic emblem in
much of the South"
After series of conferences be-
tween Dixiecrats and Republicans
before the Republican and Demo
cratic national conventions in Chi
cago next summer, he proposed
new procedure if the Democratic
convention is controlled by New
Dealers "who, it is expected, will
nominate candidate and write a
platform which are distasteful and
perhaps repugnant to the South"
The procedure he suggests would
differ from state to state but
generally it would call for the
Dixiecrats to select presidential
elections "to run on the regular
Democratic ticket under the en-
blem of the roster but pledged to
the people not to vote for the can
didates nominated by the Demo-
cratic National New Deal Conven-
ton.
"These electors might be COM
mitted in advance to vote for the
Republican nominees if the pre-
liminary alliance-conferences es-
tablish the proper background for
such a move. Or they might be
what they call free electors,
simply committed not to vote for
Truman or any other welfare-state
candidate for President"
Asked what he thought office
holders and the federal machine"
might develop in the South as
counter-movement, Mundt said in
Mississippi, for example, they "will
put their electors on the ballot
under the donkey instead of under
the rooster just as they did last
time" n such an event, he pre-
dicted that the regular Democratic
electors in Mississippi will get less
than II per cent of the votes "be-
cause they got II per cent for
Truman last time"
Mundt said "in Arkansas, where
the governor is New Dealer and
may be able to control the cleo
toral machinery, it's entirely pos
sible that he will put the rooster
and the Democratic label over the
electors there who favor the Tru-
man group"
In that event, Mundt proposed
that the Dixiecrats in Arkansas
"hold a convention, select their
own electors, get a name call
themselves 'Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis Anti-Truman Democrats,
.Anti-Socialist Democrats or what
ever they want put their cleo
tors on the ballot"
"The Republicans will pull out,
or, if necessary in order to keep
the Republican party alive in case
this thing peters out - since there
may be some state laws that if
you don't have a man on the ballot
you can't continue the party =
they will put the Republican nom
inees on the ballot but the word
goes round that Republicans should
vote in the box where the anti
Truman electors are listed"

Dear DR.. Montgomery:

Dear DR.. Montgomery:
Reference is made to our letter
of 81 March, 1850, concerning the
enrollments in the junior ROTC
units at Carver High School and
West Phoenix High School.
You will recall that these schools
were given until l November, 1850,
to reach the legal minimum en-
rollment of 100 students. Each
school reached the minimum at
the opening of school last fall. It
is noted, however, that Carver
High School as of June, 1851, had
SO enrolled, which necessitates
placing the school on probation
for the year 1951-52.
The minimum enrolment re-
quirement is a legal one over
which the Department of the Army
has no power of waiver. Therefore,
it is hoped that Carver High School
will succeed in increasing and
maintaining the number enrolled
throughout the year to preclude
withdrawal of the unit at the
end of the 1951-52 academic year.
Principal W. A. Robinson says
that very determined effort was
made by the entire staff during
registration last September to get
as many boys as possible to regis
ter for Military. AS result 126
boys out of total registration of

Korea GI Loses Plea
For Change From IA

Draft boards are not required
to reclassify LAS who married
after their original classification.
even though, up to this year, al
wife was considered sufficient
dependency for ga (deferredl
classification, District Judge James
R. Kirkland ruled yesterday.
The jurist handed down his
opinion as he dismissed a petition
for a writ of habeas corpus filed
in behalf of a soldier now serving
in Korea, who sought release from
the Army on the ground that his
marriage, in 1850. should have
changed his draft status.
Under the Selective Service Act
as amended earlier this year, the
mere fact of marriage no longer
entities a registrant to deferred
status. but the action of the
soldier, Pvt. Robert L. Albertson
of Newport Beach, Calf, was
based on the law as it stood in
1850.
While Judge Kirkland noted
that each individual case must be
considered on its merits, he ruled
in general that due process Of law
does not require that this pc
titioner be relieved of his RESPONSE
bility to his Government as a
consequence of his own deliberate
|act. :"
The opinion continued: "It is
the ruling of this court that local
boards are not required to reopen
la case merely upon q showing that
one classified as la has married
since that classification. -"
The judge set January 8 as
date to hear arguments in three
similar cases.
