ANA Urges Slash
I'm Vets Services

DENVER, Dec. 8 = An Ameri-
can Medical Association Committee
urged Congress to cut off almost
all government medical care for
veterans with non-service connect
ed disabilities.
The ANA proposal would limit
the use of free veterans admins
tration hospitals and facilities only
to ex-GIs whose diseases or in
juries were incurred while they
were in service.
The ANA proposal if adopted,
might bar the vast majority of
veterans now receiving VA care
from getting further federal medi-
cal aid.
Under the plan, the VA would
be permitted to care for few
veterans with non-service connect
ed disabilities-but only if they
served in wartime, suffer tubercu-
losis or neuropsychiatric disorders,
and are unable to pay their own
medical costs.
And even this service, the ANA
urged, should be held within the
limits of existing VA facilities"
In a prepared statement, the
AMA's Especial committee on Fed
eral Medical Services" said the

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. A.
While praising the role of the Con-

in the fight for civil rights, Thur
good Marshall, special counsel of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
reminded the 700 delegates attend
ing the labor convention here this
week that much remains to be done.
The policies of the national Clio
and its affiliated unions and the
civil rights resolutions they pass
are helpful, Mr.. Marshall said in
mis- address delivered on December

practice at the local level. GOTTEN"
he asserted, "there is a disparity
between the resolutions, between
The formal statements of policy,

DEAL FAIR WITH ALL AT
THE AGE OF 65 YEARS"

l am wondering will brains rule
the world
Since the love of God is in a fight
The love Of God in the whole power
of the world
Is the fixing of all brains right
To guide this world back into peace
1t takes the love of God to win the
fight
Brains will never give the world
peace
Until the love of God is fixed
right,
Brains are ruling the price of mems
goods
Brains are making men children in
their home
Brains have run thousands from
the 1armS
Now making the city their home.
Brains have just about forgot
Christ
Who died for the sins of mems life
Brains have put women in politics
And a very few men can rule their
wife.
Brains made law to pension the
old
At the age of S. years in their life
And the men that threw away all
they made
You pension such man and wife.
But the men that saved and bought
a home
Brains taxed them to death for the
price
To pension the ones that threw
away all they made
Now at 90, both him and his wife.
If brains made law to pension
at IS
Why not be fair with them all
The men that saved and bought a
home
Why not answer to his call.
Brains gave one a good time all
their life
And spent every dollar they made
Now they are SIS years old you see
In rocking chair, rocking in the
shade.
Why segregate the men that saved
and earned
They are due a pension as we'll
because the love of God knows all
you do
And somebody is going to hell.
Stop going to church just to be
When you won't deal fair with your
You may be living on easy street.
but you
Will never reach the promised land.

Even Santa Claus
Needs A Social
Security Number

Even Santa Claus needs a social
security number! If you are plan
ming on bein a professional Santa
Claus this year be sure to have
your social security card ready to
show your employer or you may
not get the job.
Employers are realizing more
and more the necessity of being
certain they have on their records
the correct name and account num-
Der of each person they employ,
and that that information be taken
from the social security card. EN-
ployers are, therefore, refusing to
hire people who cannot present a
social security card at the time of
hiring.
If you have lost your social secu-
rity card or your card does not bear
your correct or present name, con-
tact the Jackson social security of
flee. A change of name can be
made in just few minutes, and a
new card bearing your original
number issued to you immediately
If you have lost your card, how
ever, it will take week to ten
days to furnish you with a dupli-
cate.
Don't take a chance on losing
that Christmas job and disappoint-
ing yourself and the kiddies-be
sure your social security card is
correct and available to show your
employer. The Jackson social secu-
rity office is ready and available to
render any assistance necessary.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
by
W. +. Bond. Director Of Public Relofions
State Department Of Public Welfare

Money paid for intelligent sup
ervision in any business or pro-
gram very likely yields greater
dividends for services rendered
than does a like amount paid for
any other part of the cost of adj
ministration. A certain mercan-
tile establishment in the State en-
ploys $50 persons, As of whom do
not sell goods over the counter
and work mostly in supervisory
capacity. 1t is said that every
tenth man in an army is an Off
Ger of some kind. It takes several
coaches to train men to work to-
gether so effectively that they
can win games in a college foot
ball contest. The Public Welfare
Program this biennium will spend
approximately $62,000,000 State
and Federal Funds to help the
needy people of the State, ranging
In age ell the way from the cradle
to the grave, each one being help
ed under Federal and State laws
in accordance with his need. To
determine who is to receive this
help and to render other neces-
sary services, is a most respon-
sible. technical, and difficult job
demanding supervision of the
highest order to prevent dupli-
cation of effort and to insure JUS
tice to all those who apply for
assistance. It means continuous
training on the job of every work
er in the Welfare Program, which
is a rather large order for the
eight district supervisors charged
with this responsibility in the
Welfare Program.

organized labor to take a forth
right stand against segregation in
the South" He reminded the del
egates that "too many locals in the
South are conforming to local pat
terms and customs of segregation.
Too many locals are yielding to
this evil in their union meetings
and on the job. Organized labor
must insist on the immediate re-
moval of all jim Grow signs in
places where they work As
long as there is segregation in any
area of this country, we will have
a job ahead of US and we are sure
that the 'CIO must help win the
battle"
The work of the late Philip Muir
ray, Clio president and a member
of the NAACP board of directors
was praised by Mr.. Marshall. "Botf
the Clio and the NAACP," he as
serted, Twill move onward and up
ward cherishing his memory anC
fighting for the same principles
he gave his entire life for-that
no man and no group of men has
the right to hold any other mar
or group of men down"
Referring to the NAACP fight
to abolish segregation in the public
schools Of South Carolina, Nh
Marshall said that Gov. James F.
Byrnes "is wrong-dead wrong
when he says "that no Negroes
will ever go to a white public
school in South Carolina :. Byrnes
and Talmadge and other represent
atives of white supremacy belong
TO the yesteryears of history
they have no future; it is later
than they think"

700 Hear Walter
White AT Florida
MAACP Meet

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla,
Dec. - More than seven hundred
persons at the closing mass meet
ing Of the Florida State Confer
ence of branches of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People held here last
weekend heard NAACP Executive
Secretary Walter White declare
that the name of the martyred
Harry T. Moore "is as much a
part Of the everyday conversa-
ton in foreign countries as that
of Harry S. Truman"
Mr.. White told the delegates
that people all over the world are
still talking about the Florida
NAACP leader who was killed in
Christmas night hate-bomb blast
year ago.
The Florida State Conference
made history by electing as its
new president the youngest man
in its 11-year history-32- year
old William Fordham, Tampa at
torney. Replacing Mr.. Fordham as
legal redress chairman for the
state conference is Francisco Rod
riguez, one Of Floridas leading
criminal lawyers. Baxter Stretcher,
of Florida A. and M. College was
elected president of the states
NAACP youth conference.
In workshop sessions, and in the
resolutions adopted at the confer
ence, Florida NAACP members
dedicated themselves with increas-
ed zeal to the fight against en-
forced segregation. They recon-
mended that all Florida NAACP
branches work toward becoming in
terracial, that members decline to
use segregated facilities unless
absolutely necessary, and that
when such facilities are used, "firm
and consistent protest be made to
those parties and authorities re-
sponsible for the perpetuation and
enforcement of segregation"
Featured on the program was
the Jewish Chorus of Miami, with
more than thirty voices.
During the week, Mr.. White also
addressed meetings of NAACP
branches in Miami, Tampa and
Jacksonville. From Florida he pro-
ceeded to Georgia, addressing the
State Conference in Brunswick and
the Savannah branch.

A Negro Councilman Defends

Up IN Nashville, Tennessee the other day recently
elected Negro Council got whole lot of publicity for
speech defending racial segregation during which he
made the oft repeated statement that Negroes wanted
to be separated and apart and did not truly oppose
segregation such, long they able to obtain
equality in the separation that is segregation.
The newly elected Negro Councilman, like great
many other Negroes in all sections of the country may
be deeply sincere in the conviction which he states and
he is entitled to his opinion and will not join those
who would condemn him for taking such stand
Despite the action of the Negro Councilman how
ever segregation by law is the greatest handicap of
America today and the peoples of the world, neither
dent every day. is not going to follow the leadership of
the United States, and accept the American brand of
Democracy long Jim sign is hanging-up any
