Supplemental Funds
Await Action in Final
Moments Of Session

Congress .lastsnight was on the
verge of granting extra millions
of appropriations for District and
suburban purposes.
One Of the biggest items await
ing final action was an emergency
request by the District for $1.2
million to expand the District
sewer system in Rock Creek Park
and. to survey the problem caused
by the recent overflow that broke
main trunk lines and closed nearly
a score of picnic grounds.
This item was approved in a
conference report on the last sup
Elemental appropriation bill for
the old fiscal year. It was approved
later by the House but final action
was held up in the Senate.
Action on the supplemental con-
ference report, however, was held
up suddenly at. midnight In the
Senate last night when a fight
developed over restrictive language
governing use Of funds to be ap-
propriated for the Atomic Energy
Commission program.
On this key item in the sup
Elemental bill. the Senate at mid
night rejected the conference re-
port and insisted on a new con-
ference with the House.
Final Senate action was also
needed on the Army civil func-
tions bill, which includes money
for various emergency projects,
surveys of flood control
work at the Peace Cross, Bladens-
burg, Md.
The big supplemental bill also
carries appropriations totaling
$11.4 million to aid five non-prof1t
Washington hospitals to remodel
or replace their old plants. These
are the hospitals that did not par
ticipate in the washington Hos
pital Center to be built on the
grounds Of the Soldiers Home.
Under the amendment to the
Center Act and the supplemental
bill. matching money grants would
be made to Childrens, Providence,
Sibley, Casualty and Homeopathic
Hospitals.
The supplemental bill is devoid
of any extra money for District
government reorganization. for
which the city heads had asked
500, 900. And it carries $100, 600
of the $750, 200 the Commissioners
had asked for District civil de-
tense in the new fiscal year.

Congress Increases
Security Payments by
'S54O Million a Year
BY the Associoted Pres.

Congress completed action last
might on a bill increasing social
security insurance and public as
sistance payments by about $40
million year.
The House took the final ac-
ton, by a voice vote.
About eight million persons
would benefit Immediately, AZ
millions under social security in
surance and the rest under the
four relief programs for the aged,
blind, totally disabled, and for
dependent children.
The 1855, 900 persons now re-
ceiving old-age assistance would
get SIS month more. Retired
persons receiving government in
Isurance payments would receive
SIS or 1212 per cent, whichever Is
Igreater.
The bill also changes the insur-
ance formulas to increase bene-
fits for all those retiring in the
future.
Compromise Version.
The compromise version Of the
bill carries a two-year limitation
on the increased grants in the
four public assistant categories.
It raises from the present $50 to
SIS the amount Of earnings a re-
Icipient of social security insurance
payments can receive without los
ling his benefits.
A So monthly increase was ap-
proved for the aid to dependent
children program.
A conference committee knocked
out of the bill a House provision
permitting some employees of State
and local governments under their
own retirement plans to come into
the Federal program.
And it approved a provision to
give wage credits at the rate of
$3.50 a month to members of the
armed forces who went on duty
since fighting began in Korea. But
the compromise calls for the social
security deposits to be made out Of
the trust fund instead of out Of the
Governments g general Treasury
fund.
'Socialized Medicine
The bill calls for State agencies
to work out agreements with the
Federal Security Administration
for examinations of disabled per-
sons who wish to avoid having
their retirement benefits dimin-
ished during the period Of their
disability. The disabled persons
would have their Social Security
status frozen during their nom
productive years.
The bill. however, delays until
July l, 1858. the date on which ap-
tplications for such relief can be
filed.
1t was the provision for exami-
nation of disabled persons which
touched of in the House charges
by the American Medical Associa-
ton that it was "a step toward
socialized medicine" The bill was
subsequently revised to meet some
LOT the objeetions.ss
There il no hint or socialized
medicine in this BILL" Senator
johnson, Democrat, Of Colorado,
told the Senate yesterday.

Right Is Winning

Newell Dwight Hills, great
and prolific writer of yesteryear,
said in one of his most inspired
moments, Nothing is so obvi-
Gus as the Slowness of mans up
ward progress" This seems to be
especially true of things. relating
to the determined fight the Ne
gro is making for full integration
in this country.
Even with his hands tied be-
hind him the Negro is standing
up to an untoward situation, and
is fighting magnificently. The two
great political conventions just
closed In Chicago have been great
revelations as to the effectiveness
of the Negroes fight for Liberation.
That fight is not only being won
but being rapidly won.
The most potent problem that
confronted the delegates to those
conventions was that of civil
rights. AS an issue it would not
down!
1t would take super-optimist
to even dream of instantaneous
full integration under either the
Republican or Democratic ad-
miniStration. In years past the
Republicans had ample chance to
do something about the Negroes
Second-clasS citizenship but they
did less than nothing.
The Democrats Through the
years have had ample opportuni-
rty to manifest an effective inter-
est in the full integration Of the
Negroes; but it was not until the
coming of the immortal Franklin
Delano Roosevelt that any seri-
Gus attempt was made to inte-
CRATE the Negro according to
Gunnar Myrdal, the scholarly
Scandinavian, in his book, can
American Dilemma"
But the most encouraging de-
velopment is shown by the feist-.
ing of the civil rights question
upon the attention of the world
as was done in the recent con-
wentions. 1t was almost difficult
at times to believe what one saw
and heard as the two conventions
had to grapple with the grim
question of civil rights.
The extreme liberal and the
extreme conservatives u n d
themselves in utter disagreement;
this was true of both conventions.
Neither convention could satisfy
all concerned and this need not
have been expected in the very
nature of things. The situation
surrounding the drawing of party
platforms was not unlike that

groeS who gathered in Durham,
NC. in November, 1912 in what
is now remembered as that great
Durham Conference. Here the
current Southern Regional Coun-
ell had its genesis.
In that conference for the first
time in the history of the nation,
group of southern Negroes dared
to stand UP and speak as man to
man with the white South. The
problem confronting the Negroes
at Durham was one of making a
statement that all Negroes could
agree on but this was soon found
to be impossible.
The general conclusion was
forced upon us that getting
something done was far more i'm
portant than getting something
said, a point that is too often
overlooked in the interracial sit
uation. Saying things however
effectively can never. take the
place of doing things.
Nor should saying things hinder
doing things. 1t was even so with
the two conventions recently held
in Chicago, the party platform
which said too much would GER
tainly be placed in the position
of doing little or nothing.
After all, getting elected is the
great thing in politics. The Dem
cratic party which came into
power 20 years ago did not prom
Use the Negro much but it gave
him more than he had ever had
before. It made his civil rights a
burning issue and even today the
most bristling question of the day
is the question of civil rights.
+ Not only is the civil rights issue
foistered upon a thinking world
but it actually takes ssfilibusters to
defeat them. In other words the
enemies of civil rights are afraid
to risk a vote on the issue.
When such .impasse is reached,
the opposition to civil rights Is
about shattered and it is only a
matter of time. The big question
before the Democrats is getting
elected with a view of doing
@nething about civil rights ir-
respective of how little is said
about them.
Norman Thomas, the perennial
Socialist candidate, has fine
platform that says just about
wants said; but he cannot get
everything an oppressed group
elected.
Negroes must judge the future
by the past and help elect that
ticket that has meant most to
their cause, regardless of how
much the platform lacks Of sat-
isfying our eager aspirations.
Right is Winning. Our case is
being tried in the Supreme court
