This Is spite Of the non-dis-
criminatory policy established
by President Eisenhower under
his Committee on Government
Employment Policy.
This statement is made by Les
ter B. Granger, OF New York,
executive director Of the National
III n League, in a speech to be
delivered at the 18th anniversary
dinner of the Federal Of Civic
Association in Washington, ID. C.,
and attended by 500 top govern
ment officials and civic leaders.
Mr.. Granger asserted that the
lag between principle and practice
also deprives the Presidents Com
mittee on Government Contracts
Of a real opportunity for genuine
effectiveness in eliminating JOB

Traffic
Hats On
Street

Flying manh0leS flew high
and wide over Woodward ave-
nue. early Monday evening as
underground explosions shot
them nearly fifty feet in the
air along an area bounded by
Vernon Highway and Custer.
Latest reports are that no
one was injured by fhe vn-
expected explosions, thought
TO have been caused by
accumulated hydrogen gas
in underground tunnels.
A short-circuit at the Wood.
ward-Canfield Public Lighting
substation is thought to have
touched off the explosions.
Passers-by reported smoke biz
lowing from the station.
Two years ago, a similar ex-
plosion and flying manholes
periled pedestrians and motorists
on Woodward avenue traffic.
The first manhole blew off
about Z p. m at Alexandrine.
Others followed shortly al Brady
and Stimson.
DSR power lines governing
Woodward street cars were
knocked out from Warren down
town. Police communications sys-
TENS between the Woodward
station and downtown were
BACKED out for two hours.
The Detroit Fire Departments
communications system was also
impaired.
Michigan Bell Telephone COM
pany allowed police and firemen
to use their lines, which are sep
arate from the PIC set-up.
Flames and greasy smoke shot
skYward from several of the
manhoies.
Shortly after police, gas COM
pany officials and other emer-
gency crews were alerted, they
began 10 remove manholes which
had not yet blown up.
Expert observers point out that
allowing additional air to get into
the tunnel, probably kept more
manholes from blowing up and
possibly injuring unspspecting
pedestrians and motorists.
Woodward was blocked off by
police from Chicago Blvd. to
Vernon Highway for several hours
with traffic being re-routed onto
other streets.
Motorists, however, were al
lowed to cross the city's main
thoroughfare.

business along the Mack to War

Due To Amended Social Security Law

The amended Social Security
law makes it possible for the mil
lions already eligible or who will
become eligible for old-age and

Social Security benefits, earn as
much as $1,000 year, and still
receive payments for every month
of the year. In addition, a person
70 years of age may earn as much
as they please and still receive
benefits.
Under the old la W. in effect
through December 1854, social
security beneficiary could not be
paid benefits il he earned more
than $75 a month for work in a
job covered by Social Security. A
self employed person couldn't re-
ceive all of his monthly benefits if
his net income from his business
exceeded 5000 for the year. These
provisions applied to all benefit
