Little TO Keep Secret
That an American newspaper

has been kept tightly closed to
resident Western diplomats
typifies the new Iron Curtain

tensions"
Inside there seemed to be little

win not put Detroit out Of busi-
ness for some time to come. The
plant is. however. an impressive
accomplishment in q country
without industrial background,

other than those fresh from the
nonmechanized countryside.
All but two Of the biggest body
sections are now made in Poland.
An engineer guide showed of
the giant presses which. when
construction is complete, will
stamp those pieces and complete
the gradual substitution Of Pol

gan when the first Warsaw was
assembled here In 1851.

DISABILITY PROTECTION
Workers Have New Kind of Pro-
lection Under Provision

Workers Have New Kind of Pro-
lection Under Provision
Delaware workers have a new
kind of disability protection under
a new provision in the 1854 |
amendments to the social security !
lava means of keeping their So
cial security rights intact during
a prolonged period of total dis
ability.
The new provision, according to
Myron Milbouer, manager of Del
aware social security office at S13
West Street, Wilmington, works
like this:-If you are totally -dis-
abled for work months or more
and your doctor believes that your
disability will continue indefin-
itely, you should apply to have
your social security record ''froz-
en- for the period of your disabil-
ity. When the time comes for
figuring up the monthly benefits
payable to you when you reach
65, or to your survivors in case of
your death, the years when you
were disabled, and therefore not
working, will not be counted
against you. In determining
whether you have met the work
requirements, and in figuring the
benefit amounts, the effect will be
the same as if you had reached 65
on the day your disability began.
THE provision keeps your old
age and survivors insurance in
force if you should become totally
disabled, just as many life insur-
ance policies provide that your in
surance rights will not lapse dur
ing a period of total disability"
Milbouer stated. He added, 'The
OASI program is financed by the
two percent deducted from your
wages plus the matching two per-
cent the company pays. If you
have no earnings, the payment of
the social security taxes stops.
But by taking advantage of the
disability freeze" provision in the
new law, you can protect your
benefit rights while you are un-
able to work."
There are, of course, some con-
ditions to be met in order to quail
ify for this disability freeze:
The worker must have a record
of fairly long and steady work
under social security: 5 years of
work out of the 10 years before
he was disabled; 11s years of
work in the years before he was
| disabled.
His disability must be one that
can be determined by medical evil
dence. 1t may be either severe
mental or physical disability which
makes him unable to do any sub
stantial gainful employment, or it
may be blindness.
He must apply to have his earn
ings record frozen while he is dis
abled and after he has been dis
abled 6 months or more.
A person who becomes blind or

automatically; an application must

Whites Boycott
Mixed School
In hoxie, Ark.

Hoxie, Ark. Nov. 81 - Integral
ed public schools reopened here
Monday without an incident, but
with high rate of absenteeism.
Most of the rs Negro pupils who
have been attending the formerly
all-white schools since July were
on hand, but only about half of the
white high school and junior high
school students were present when
classes resumed over a vacation
for cotton picking.
Supt. X. E. Vance estimated that
smaller percentage of the ele-
mentary school pupils were in the
classrooms.
He said it was possible some par
ents of elementary grade pupils
were keeping their children at home
for a few days "just to see what
is going to happen"

Negroes paying poll tax, register
ing and voting, and to encourage
the others to do so. The census
will be conducted with volunteer
workers and for that cause many
will be needed so as to narrow the
scope of work for each individual.
1t is hoped that there will be a
worker in each city block where
Negroes live, thereby limiting each
individual canvass to not more than
20 or 80 families.
This work will not take on the
aspect of political activities. 1t
will be patriotic in nature, seeking
to inspire in each individual can
vassed a greater love for God,
country and fellowman. Its OBJ
jective will be to strengthen moral
values, thereby insuring sound
progress. Churches, civic and fra
ternal organizations, clubs and bus
mess organizations will be asked
to cooperate in this venture. The
progressive voters league is a nom
partisan organization seeking to
inspire in each individual greater
love for country, respect for others
and self and the recognition Of
God as the Father of mankind who
has made the things of this world
for the mutual use of all people.
President James A. White opened
the meeting Tuesday night with
the reading of the 32nd chapter
of Numbers which was used as a
theme of the meeting. The march
to full freedom by Negroes in
America was likened to the depar-
ture of the Israelites from Egypt
ian bondage. Negroes in Jackson
were compared with the two tribes
who wanted to settle down on the
east bank of the Jordan where
there was no fighting while their
brethren fought to inhabit the
other side. "God told Moses to
tell these selfish people," said
White, chat you must help drive
out the enemies of God before you
will be allowed to enjoy this fer
tile land, and by coincident is tell
ing Negroes today that they must
arm themselves with the ballot in
order to drive the enemies of God
from among u.s."
A large crowd responded favor
ably to suggestions from Mr.. A.
R. Hicks, Mr.. Sam Bailey, Rev. A.
w. Wells, Mr.. John w. Dixon and
Mr.. Robinson on how to make the
census a success.
A delegation from Rankin county
was present to get information for

St. Mark Fourth
Baptist Church
To Observe 101st
Anniversary
Nov. 1928, 1855

New Orleans, La. Nov. 81 -
The old historic St. Mark Fourth
Baptist Church, Rev. E. ]. Thomp-
son, Pastor having passed the CEN
fury mark of its existence is pre-
pairing an elaborate program in
the observance of the 1O1 years
church anniversary. This church
was organized in 1854 during slav-
cry days and was established on
Mark Street (now Magnolia) near
Tulane Avenue, by Rev. Robert H.
Steptoe who had been ordained by
Elder Fletcher, pastor of the Coli
scum Place Baptist Church, white.
The Rev. Mr.. Steptoe, a talented
man, was one of the slaves owned
by a white family named Sheppard
who came to New Orleans from
Virginia bringing their slaves with
them years before the Civil War.
The Sheppard family recognized
Robert H. Steptoe's talents and his
religious attitude, gave him an edu-
cation and freed him. This same
family owned the first building
occupied by st. Marks Fourth Bap-
fist Church.
In 1850 the Negro congregation
from the Coliseum Place Baptist
Church was organized into a church
under care of Elder Fletcher, white
This congregation had 62 members
and was received into the Missis-
sippi Association, white. On March
%, 1854, the Rev. Mr.. Steptoe re,
moved it from the guidance of Ed
er Fletcher and organized St. Mark
Fourth Baptist Church which was
Incorporated in March 1855, for q
years. After the war, members OF
