The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1953-03-19

Speaking of the unpopularity
of Social Security taxes the
Chicago Tribune observes that
many an immigrant Of gene
ration ago is returning to the
old country and life of COM
parative luxury on United
States social security pay
ments.
That is a report from the
Social Security bureau itself.
Over $4,000 retired workers
have already left this country
after becoming eligible for
social security payments and
the number grows greater each
year. No matter where he goes,
as long as it is not behind the
Iron Curtain, Uncle Sam sends
his payment to him!
Edward J. Sinder, manager
Of the old age and survivors
insurance field office in Brook
Ign. clearing house for Euro
pean claims, estimated in a re-
cent interview that $5,364, 900
will have been sent overseas
this fiscal year alone. Until
very recently checks could 60
to all countries except Russia
but a Treasury Department
ruling dropped a barrier over
places where there was no
reasonable assurance that the
individuals involved would get
the checks.
More than 40 percent of those
returning to the old countries
came from Italy. The natives
leave but native Americans
leave too. An Italian wrote a
social security investigator in
his native tongue: Many
thanks for your bounty. Glad
to hear you are well. l am
feeling much better and am
enjoying the sun on the Ri
viera."
The man, a former mason
worker, gets $6850 month
on social security. His 16-year-
old daughter is also eligible
for payments as a dependent
and his wife. This could add
up to a maximum of $3.50 UNI
der the law.
If the Italian family were
getting the $3.50 maximum it
could be turned into 93,750 Ira
a month. The average Italian
workers income is around co.
900 Ira monthly so he
would really be doing alright.
What worries me is what's
going to happen when we all
start drawing social security!

African Leaders Win
Point Against French,
British In UN Case

NEW YORK, (GlobaD.-Repre-
sentativeS from the rich and stra-
logically located Togoland achieved
another step toward independence
and re-unification last week when
the UN empowered the Togoland
Joint Council to work out plans for
the educational, social, political and
economic welfare and for unifica-
tion of the West African Terri
tories.
Appearing at the UN week ago
were five Togolanders who had
come here to plead their case be-
fore the Seventh General Assembly.
These included C. G. Antor, S. E.
Olympic, H. Anku Morny and Jo-
seph Eyenpoh Mbinadong.
Togoland, which is sandwiched
in between the British Gold Coast
and French Dahomey, came under
control of Germany after many
years Of independent under the rule
of tribal chieftains. After World
War l, Great Britain and France
were given trusteeship over the
Territory and proceeded to split it
in two, with Great Britain control
ling that section that lay adjacent
to its Crown Colony; the other Sec
ton, newt to Dahomey, being taken
over by the French.
Since that time the Togolanders
have struggled to regain their in
dependence and to reunite thir
country, and in 1851 appeared be-
fore the UN in Paris to seek re-
lief. The Trusteeship Council then
proposed the establishment of a
Joint Council and recommended
that the British and the French en-
sure that the scope of the response
bilities of the proposed Joint Coun-
Gil be sufficiently broad to enable
the Council to exercise its function
with respect to all questions of
common concern to the people of
the two Trust Territories, includ-
ing questions of political, social, eco
nomic, educational and cultural
life.
In accordance with the UN pro-
posal, the British and the French
arranged for a meeting to estab-
lish the Joint Council, but when the
group gathered in Lone, capital of
Togoland, it was discovered that
the French had chosen Is hand
picked representatives, and the
British, six. The agenda had been
limited to a discussion of frontiers.
1t was specifically stated that no
other matters could be discussed
unless it was agreed to by three
fourth of the members of the dele
CATION. Seeing the impossibility Of
the situation, and realizing nothing
could be accomplished, three of
the representatives in the delega-
ton withdrew and the meeting col
lapsd. 1t was decided to return the
matter to the UN at this session.

New T elephone
Service Goes Into
Effect Jan. 18th


New metropolitan telephone serv-i
ice with direct customer dialing
of over 95 per cent of all intercity
calls in the Salt River Valley will
become effective at 1901 am,
Sunday, January 18, according to.
H. K. Richmond, district manager
for Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company Under the me-
tropolitan plan, all calls within the
prescribed area to or from the
Phoenix zone will be dialed direct
ly on a toll-free basis. In addition,
customers in the other zones will
be, able to dial all telephones in
zones which adjoin theirs on the
same basis.
The introduction of metropolitan
telephone service here represents
the last step in seven million dol
lar program that required almost
two years to complete. Richmond
said that this new telephone system
would provide Salt River Valley
telephone users with one of the
most modern and finest telephone
systems in the country Six new
central office buildings have been
built and euipped, thousands of con-
ductor miles or cable and conduit
have been added, and a complete
new telephone numbering system is
being established to make metro
politan service possible.
All of the telephone numbers in
the seven zones that will make up
the metropolitan area, Phoenix,
Litchfield-To Tolleson, Glendale, Sun
nyslOpe, Scottsdale, Mesa-Tempe,
and Chandler, will conform to the
prefix numbering plan, each zone
being identified by one or more
prefixes similar to those now in
use in Phoenix. Higley and Super
stition, although not a part of the
metropolitan service area, will
have a similar numbering system
and will also have certain toll free
dialing privileges into neighboring
zones of the metropolitan area.
A new telephone directory will
be delivered throughout the area
: just prior to January 18, listing
the thousands of new and changed
telephone numbers. For the first
time, the alphabetical section will
list all subscribers in the metro
poplitan area as well as Higley and
Superstition in just one section re-
gardless of which zone the tele-
phone is in. However, easy identi-.
fication will still be possible since
each zone will have it's own prefix
designation.
With the Introduction of metro
politan service, the local rates for
calls from pay telephones will be
standardized at ten cents through
out the area. The ten-cent rate has.
been in effect in Phoenix and Mesa
since early in 1852. The monthly
charges for different classes of
telephone service in the metropoli-
tan service area will be comparable
to the present Phoenix schedule
following the cutover.
