To Fight SobeIoff


By injecting the Peters case,
opponents of Sobeloff sought to
raise a doubt about Sobeloff's
own loyalty. Few took the allega-
tons seriously. But the Peters
reference and a quotation from a
Sobeloff speech were enough to
bring about a postponement. The
Senate as a whole was prevented
from acting until the next session
of Congress.
Eastland, a leader of the anti
Sobeloff clique, is chairman of the
Senate Internal Security Commit
tee. His Committee is an agency
for Investigating subversive infil-
tration of the Government. The
Associated Negro press, however,
recently charged that Chairman
Eastland completely closed his
eyes to the infiltration of fascism
within his own Committee. The
reference was to the a ct that
Ralph Baerman, former Washing
ton representative of Gerald L. K.
Smiths hate organization, was
employed on the Eastland per-
sonal office staff.
According to the files of the
B'nai Birth Authorization Lea
que, Baerman received money
from Smiths christian National
list Crusade" at the same time he
was on the payroll of Eastland.
A number of Jewish, Negro. and
labor organizations questioned the
employment of Baernan by the
Senator. Democratic Majority
Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, of
Texas, told Eastland that Baer-
mans continued presence might
affect Eastland's eligibility for
Craftsmanship of the Internal Sc
curity Committee. Baerman was
reluctantly moved.
Eastland'S thoughts on racial
matters have been quoted and
distributed by the Gerald l.. K.
Smith hate press. In one speech
on the Senate floor, Eastland at
tackled American soldiers of the
Negro race, alleging that Nazi
occupation forces in France be-
haved better than U. S. Negro
troops. After the Supreme Court
decision on school segregation,
the Senator accused the Court of
being "indoctrinated and BRAIN
washed by left-wing, Communist
front organizations"
The Washington Post an d
Times-Herald said editorially
that there was "ample reason" to
believe "the real objection of
Messrs. Eastland and Johnston to
Judge Sobeloff is that he argued
and won the school segregation
cases in the Supreme Court and
that they remain wholly unap-
peased by the fact that he advo-
Gated a course of statesmanly
moderation in applying the seq

cause he discharged it success

In shirt sleeves and summer

mood. While the orchestra

the spectators. munched hot

famed themselves.

watched the perpetual move

his temperature rose by the
minute. Repeatedly he glared
at the crowd. but they were
too busy eating to notice.
Before beginning the final
number. he turned once
again to give the crowu the
evil eye. AS he looked down
at the sea of faces, stuffed
with hot dogs. he suddenly
could take it no longer. He
clenched his baton and
stalked angrily from the

cried the frantic manager.

in chlorine and soda-ash manu-
facture, in steel making and in
other metallurgy and in syn
thetic rubber manufacture.
For food processing. canning
and preserving there is an in
creasing demand. Few realize
that so much salt is required in
soap and detergents. The great
increase in demand for rock
salt-used for highways, rail-
roads and dust and ice control
is needed during the winter
months.
Rock salt is stratified in
massively bedded rock. The
grain is fine, medium or coarse
usually the. color is white with
red or yellowish iron oxides.
Beds of salt were precipitated
in salt lakes or in lagoons. Ac-
cording to some, the great rock
salt deposits were formed in des-
erts where salt was brought to
the surface by either evapora-
ton or ascent of water. If the
desert was without drainage to
the ocean the salt would collect
in a salty lake like the Great
Salt Lake Of Utah. In some
places the thickness Of rock salt
beds exceeds 400 feet.
Rock salt beds found in other
parts of the world range from
Permian to Pliocene age and
some in the Salt range Of India
may be as old as the Cambrian.

ic activities.
The first concert by the choir
was given in the Spring of 1947,
and capacity audience immedi-
ately acclaimed the chorus a crit
ical success. During the first sew
eral concert seasons, the pro-
grams were made up of standard
concert works from the operatic,
classical, sacred, and contempor-
ary repertory. More recently,
the choir has enlarged its field
to include the active stage, hav-
ing presented Gay Nineties Re-
vue" and Menotti's "Amahl and
the Night Visitors" both in 1854.
The latter presentation was so
well received by audience and
critics alike that it was repeated
on television.
In the Fall of 1854, the choir
received its greatest tribute by
being one of ten choruses from
the United States invited to ap-
pear at the biennial convention
of the National Federation of
Music Clubs, held in Miami in
May, 1855. In order to raise the
necessary funds for this venture,

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS
Maximum Wages from Which De
duction is Made is $4,000

duction is Made is $4,000
Employers and employees are
reminded that the maximum
wages from which the social Sc
curity deduction is made has in
creased to $4,000 for 1865 and
succeeding years. Myron Mil
bouer, manager of the Delaware
social security Office at 813 West
Street, in Wilmington, said that
the 1854 Amendments to the So
cial Security Act provided for this
increase effective in 1855.
Milbouer stated that the in
crease in wage credits thus estab-
lished would mean higher maxi
mum benefits in the future for re-
tired workers and their depend
ents or for the survivor of these
workers in case of death. The
$4,000 maximum allowed before
1855 permitted maximum monthly
benefits of S9s.50 to a retired
worker while the new $4,000 max
imum can mean $108.5O to insured
employed or self-employed per-
sons retiring after mid-1956.
All employees who earn wages
of more than $4,000 in a calendar
year should make certain that the
new maximum is being reported
for them by their employers. They
can do this, the local manager
continued, by checking their pay
slips or by checking with their
employers.
"The social security administra-
ton also advises all workers to
check on their wage records each
five years. Post card forms are
available at all social security Of
fees for this purpose" Milbouer
added.

CHORAL GROUP
AT SEAFORD
SeafOrd Symphonic Choir to
Sing With University of
Delaware Group
ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Seaford Symphonic Choir
under the direction of Miss Julia
H. Wilson will join with the Choir
al groups of the University of
Delaware for concerts at the Uni
versity of Delaware on November
80 and at the Seaford High School
on December 1 at 8:15 pm.
Arrangements for the choral
programs are part of the Seventh
Annual Contemporary Music Fes-
tival at the university which this
year will feature the works of
Virgil Thomson, celebrated COM
poser, conductor and music critic.
In announcing the joint choral
program, Anthony ]. Loudis, chair
man of the music department, de-
clared, 1--WE feel especially FORUM
ate to have the assistance of the
Seaford Symphonic Choir for this
worthwhile musical undertaking.
These singers have been nation
ally recognized for their achieve
ments and I am confident that
they will contribute greatly to the
quality of the performances"
Mr.. Thomson himself will be on
hand to conduct some of his COM
positions which will be performed
by the Delaware Symphonette.
The Seaford Symphonic Choir
was organized in 1916 with a
three-fold purpose: to promote an
interest in choral music, to pro-
vide an educational and recrea-
tional outlet for its members, and
to develop an organization cap
able of artistic performance. That
it has to a large extent accom-
plished its purpose is evidenced
by the record of achievement it
has made during its ten year ex-
istence.
At its inception there was a
nucleous of some twenty interest
ed persons who were prime NOV
ers in the formation of the choir.
Constitution and bylaws were
adopted, director and accompanist
were chosen, and concert plans
and goals were set. From that
small beginning, the Seaford SYM
phonic Choir has consistently
grown in active membership until
at present it comprises some forty
participants, including members
not only from Seaford, but from
Bridgeville, Greenwood, George
town, fredericksburg, and Denton
AS nonprofit body, the Sym
phonic Choir was quick to estab-
lish itself as a service organiza-
ton, and offered it's talent to civic
clubs, church groups, service clubs
and schools. Sponsored in con-
certs by such organizations, the
choir has given performances in
large and small communities
throughout the Del-Mar-Va pen
insula, and has been the means
of raising many thousands of dol

$4,000 in life insurance death
benefit payments in the first nine
months of this year, compared

tute of Life Insurance reported.
The number of policies becoming
claims in the first nine months
was 5,098, which compares with
5,047 in the corresponding period
of 1854. "The tremendous rise in
life insurance buying and the in
crease in ownership since World
War II are reflected in these cur
rent payments" Holgar ]. john
son, Institute president, said in
announcing the figures. For the
country as a whole, death benefits
paid in the first nine months of
this year were S117, 1887, 900 great

among policyholders has actually

but life insurance ownership has
increased about 1876 percent in
these years." Death benefit pay
