WHEREAS the murder of 14year old Emmett Till was a brutal
lynch act made by me who wish to enforce medieval practices OF
segregation, and
WHEREAS such an act, unpublished by the state in which the act
was committed, tends to serve notice on the country and the rest OF
the world that the State of Mississippi refuses to adopt standards of
justice and common humanity, and
WHEREAS the hasty and thoughtess decision of jurors who
tried the two men, who obviously were guilty, demonstrates the lack
of regard the State of Mississippi has for the traditions of justice
which have evolved through the struggles of common people in this
country, and
WHEREAS the decision of the jurors was al act that shocked the
rest of the nation into realizing that a profound injustice is being
done to the Negro people and all humanity, and
WHEREAS it becomes obvious that, if justice is to be done, it
must be done by a higher authority than the State of Mississippi,
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLVED by the delegates to the District

day Of October that we demand President Eisenhower call an emer-

Explain Some
Benefits OF
S. S. Program
Many Have Failed To
Take Advantage Of
Survivors Insurance
Monthly Payments.

There are many residents Of this
area who are survivors Of workers
who died between July 1, 1910 and
August 81, 1850 who are not re-
ceiving survivors insurance month
ly payments because they have not
yet taken advantage Of the bene-
fit rights specifically provided for
them in the 1854 amendments to the
Social Security Act. This is the
conclusion Of Myron MilbOuer, man
ager Of the Wilmington District
Social Security Office after a re-
Gently concluded survey.
The manager pointed out that a
recent change in the law will
now permit the payment Of monthly
benefits in many cases to qualified
survivors where none we're payable
before. He emphasized that the
deceased worker must have had at
least one year and a half Of work
under social security, and that
rnere must now be a survivor eli
gihle to receive such payments.
These survivors would be a child
still under the age of Is, the mother
Of such a child, OF the workers s
widow if she is over 65. In some
instances the parents Of a deceased
wage Garner may be eligible if they
were dependent upon him for their
support.
