By George Saucer

Only nine years ago. the Ship
ley Terrace area in Southeast
Washington was uninhabited.
In a city bulging with people.
an enterprising builder devel-
oped the area and citizens be-
gan moving into the attractive
brick homes and apartments.
The area built up so fast that,
according to residents, it some-
times took an argument to con-
vince taxi drivers the new adj
dresses really existed.
In 1947, the Shipley Terrace
Citizens Association was formed
to push for public improvements.
improvements Speeded.
Gaylord M. Gurtz, president
of the association, estimates that
association efforts brought street
lighting, sidewalks. trash collec-
ton and street surfacing that
normally would have come six
or seven months later.
Surveys were made to con-
vince the Capital Transit Co.
the community rated more bus
service. The police were re-
minded to make more frequent
checks of the new residential
area.
Gerald w Russell, past pres
ident and one of the founders
of : the association, was, along
with Mr.. Gurtz, one of the first
t13 families to move into Shipley

us. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Judge Henry
A. Schweinhaut, refused to grant

Schweinhaut said then he would
have dismissed the suit except
that he felt the Federation
should have an opportunity to
present its argument.
David c. Colladay, one of the
Federation's attorneys appeared
at the brief court session yester-
day to give assent to the dis
missal. Mr.. Colladay already had
stated publicly that the Fedora
ton did not intend to pursue its
effort to obtain an injunction
since 1t would no longer be ef-
fective.
The dismissal had been re-
quested by the District, through
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman, at the time
Judge Schweinhaut ruled against
the injunction plea.
The Federation still is seeking
court action to alter integration
procedures. The civic group, a

ConmunismCourse

The University of Maryland
Diamondback, student news
paper, suggested editorially yes
terday that a course in COM
munism be taught at the uni
versity.
Citing a similar course offered
at Duquesne University, Dia-

suggested that an understanding
of communism is necessary In
order to fight it. ,
"We realize, that, as things
stand now, instructors are open
to rather vague criticism once
communism or any rough colored
subject is mentioned in the class
room. But we must know more
about communism and methods
used for its operation. We should
prepare ourselves to challenge
with valid arguments any .girn-
mick the Reds may fabricate."

KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Time is an important element
where social security insurance
benefits are concerned.
To begin with, the time you
have worked in employment OF
self-employment covered by the
law determines whether or not
YOU are insured at the time OF
YOUR retirement or death.
The time when you retire at
age Is or later and make a claim
for monthly benefit payments is
equally important. This is be-
cause the date of entitlement
affects the benefit rate of pay
ments to you and your family.
A variation of several dollars
a month in benefit rates may
occur if a claim is made, for
example. on June 80 instead of
july /, or vice versa. If it should
happen that claim made on
july / should have made the day
before, nothing can be done to
correct the disadvantage.
!. In - case of the death of the
insured breadwinner, the total
benefits payable to the survivors
depends on the time the claim IS
made. A delay can cost each en-
titled member of the family one
or more months insurance bene-
fit payments. This is because
back payments can be made for
only six months from the time
claim is made.
Here are two timely remind
ers: % The survivors of a de-
ceased insured worker should
get in touch with the social
security office without delay
(2) If you are an insured worker
and are nearly or past age 65
60 to your social security office
before deciding on the time o.
your retirement.
Mr.. Herman R. Frame, Socia
Security Field Representativ'
from the GAINESVILLE office, hold
office hours in Caldwell tn
second and fourth Wednesday o
each month. He has office hour
at the Patriotic Room at tn

YOUR
ELECTION
h-
LAWS

The Primary Election on May
4, this year, is in fact two cleo
tions, both held on the same day.
There is an election for the
Democratic party and one for
the Republican party. Under the
Ohio laws, in order to obtain a
ballot, the person must be a
qualified elector and be a mem
ber of the political party. for
whose ballot he or she calls.
Later, we shall discuss party
affiliation and the test of party
membership, which may be new
to some voters and will be OF
general interest to the electorate.
The Primary Ballots this year
will contain large numbers on
the back l for Democratic ana
2 for Republican. ThSe numbers
have been allowed by the Legis-
lature in order to facilitate the
handling of voted ballots. When
the voter has marked his ballot,
he folds it in order that this
number is seen, hands it to the
election official in charge OF the
ballot boxes, who in turn tears
off the stub, and deposits the
ballot in the box containing the
same number.
There is one thing to always
bear in mind: At a Primary
Election, because there are two
separate ballots, it is necessary
for the election officials to ask
which one you want, but IN
voting both at the Primary and
General Elections your vote is
secret! Don't let anyone tell you
that someone will know for
what candidate or what issue
YOU voted. This is not true.

Bud pushed me ahead of him out of
