Washington has become the
second city in the Nation as the
place for headquarters Of ma
tional organizations of all kinds
trade, professional. labor and
farm.
Commerce Department ex-
perts put the total number of
national non-profit organiza-
lions with their headquarters
here at 500 or more: They say
that the Capital is second only
to New York and ahead of Chi
cago, the other two cities which
attract the chief establishments
Of such groups.
In the District area there are
the headquarters of about $50
trade organizations. That is
about the same, or a few less,
than Chicago's number. About
$50 are counted in New York
and there are about 1,700 in the
whole country.
To the $50 trade organizations
IN Washington should be added
about 200 professional and semi
professional groups. Count in
the labor and farm organizations
and the figure for Washington
reaches the total of about 500
OF the $50 trade groups here,
20 are organizations which en-
ploy eight or more persons. For
the other 1870 the average en-
ployment is about three. 1t is
pointed out that the largest. the
Association of American Rail-
roads. has about 600 employees,
about equally divided between
Washington and the rest of the
country.
The Washington Board of
Trade. which is campaigning to
attract more national organiza-
tions to the city. has figures
which are about the same as
those of the Commerce Depart
ment. It has listed SO organiza-
tions which employ Is or more

u. {. Farmers
Losing Benefits
o! Social Security

North Carolina farmers are
losing money by not filing for
Social Security benefits. says
William Turner, State College
extension farm management
specialist.
The Social Security Admin
tration estimated several thous-
md North Carolina farm opcr-
|ators would be eligible for soci-
.ll security benefits as early rs
mid-l956. The number of farm
rrS who have filed claims for
these benefits in 1856 is so small.
however, that much concern is
noted over the possible loss OF
many benefits. Turner pointed
out.
North Carolina farmers IS
years of age or over should con-
tact their nearest social security
district office or area represent
alive in 1856 to protect their
benefit rights, advises Turner.
Since the year is rapidly near
ing a close, prompt action is ne
.CSsary. The Social Security Ad-
miniStration will accept your
benefit claim to establish month
iy benefit amount in case your
1856 farm income may be lower
than the 1855 farm income.
Many farmers were eligible
for social security benefits based
UPON work under law many
years years ago. such as defense
work in the World War II and
Korean War periods or even for
work as far back as 1897. BY
failing TO file i'm 1856 they are
losing these benefits month after
month. Turner added.
According to Turner, probably
the most important reason for
filing a claim in 1856 is TO pro-
tcct the family in case of death.
BY filing now, all possible
monthly benefits from mid-lg56
until your claim is completed
will be paid-to you or in the
event of your death, to your sur
vivors. Turner warns IL you do
not file your claim, these accum-
Iulated benefits are lost.
Farmers arc strongly urged by
Turner to take time, now, to
contact the Social Security Ad-
ministration and inquire Of their
rights under the law.

Assault On School PrincipuI
Sends FB Man To hiuh Court

FAIR BLUFF - A Fair Bluff
man has been bound over &c
Columbus County uperiol
Court ON charge of fcloniously
aSSaulting Pierce Dalton, prin-
cipal of Fair Bluff High School.
The action came in Fair Bluff
Recorders Court after witnesses
testified to the attack on Dalton
by Mutt Lovett, farmer and to-
baconiSt of Fair Bluff and Null
Inns, S. c.
The act came, according I,
evidence, after the principa
backed Fair Bluff teacher il
her demands that student
write u disciplinary theme OF
not return TO school, with Lovett
Iobjecting.
Mrs. Lovett told, on the wit
ness stand, that she went to see
the teacher and then to see Dali
ton. She was told that the youth
would be required to write the
theme before re-entering school.
Evidence showed she returned
home, called her husband who
was in Mullins and the couple
returned to the Dalton home.
Evidence showed Lovett ent-
cred the principals yard and
knocked Dalton down with a
blow in the face and then jump
ed on him and struck him other
blows. The attack halted when
Mrs. Dalton came out of the
LouSe. Mrs. Lovett, the only de-
Tense witness taking the stand,
said the principal struck no
blows but fell with his arms and
hands up, shielding his face.
Lovett is husky 2OO-pounder;
Dalton weighs about $50 pounds.
DR.. Thad Bethea of Fair Bluff
testified that the blows had in
.LCcted serious damage about
.Dalton'S head and face and hG>
fractured a bone in connection
with the sinus TO the extent that
an operation would have to be
performed. He also testified that
some Disagreement will result.
Also appearing for the State
was Fair Bluff Chief of Police
Hubert Stone, who told that
when Lovett was arrested by
himself and .Constable Major
Duuncy ne told them he attack
cd Dalton and would do il again
