Another controversial retire.

workers engaged in hazardous
occupations. such as FBI and
Treasury agents. certain Bureau

Some of these employees OBJ
jected to the fact that their
salary contribution was increased
from 6 to 612 per cent under the
new retirement law, despite the
fact that their 2 per cent re-
Itirement computation rate was
not increased. Therefore, theil
annuities will remain the same
even though they are paying
more of their salaries for retire
ment benefits. They would like
perhaps a 21a per cent retire
ment computation formula.
On the other hand, some
members of Congress pointed out
at the time the retirement bill
was under consideration that
these employees will benefit in
the form Of greater family
survivorship benefits. They also
declared that these employees

Quit

There times when doubt and encouragement
confront the most valiant - when we seem to be
up against stone wall in which there is no gate We
see way out of our immediate problems, and these
swamp us mentally physically - and spiritually.
Then is the time to stand still and take stock of the
situation, not in panic, but in quiet determination to
look at things effectively to place them in their proper
perspective and to sort out what is the real stumbling
block.
1t was Shakespeare who said Our doubts are
traitors and make lose the good oft might win
by fearing to attempt" Centuries before him, Seneca
had said "a great pilot sail when his sail is
rent To both the for defeat - for doubt and
discouragement - action.
When those three enemies confront you they
do all of US, at times, think not What can I do?"
Rather, say to yourself-"What l do?"
There may not seem to be way out, but there is
always way up It is dark looking down, but there
stars in the sky Pause and look up Pray not for
relief but for guidance Still your soul for while and
then return to your problem You will be better able
to what you should do.
Consider the difficulty whether it be in work,
or health, or in relationships with others not
stumbling block, but opportunity oppor-
tunlty for you to gain In strength in the solving A
challenge to your God-given intelligence.
If you tackle your difficulties in this manner, you
will be shown what to do. You will be enabled by first
mastering fear to face the issue squarey and to
make your own decisions honestly and wisely.
Be not afraid of the outcome. If you analyze it,
your fear will be found to be of your ability, not
ahead. You can't find the way out without moving
toward it. Don't be afraid of doing too much Don't
give out 1t is better to out than to rust
out.
The best way out of difficulty is through it. So
decide what to do - and do it. But don't quit!

where the people are unwilling to

What have integrated schools in
other sections been worth to the
Negro? Have you ever thought
about the fact that a Negro can
attend mixed school in most Of
those states, but few of those states
will hire him as a. teacher? The
State of Connecticut does not have
25 Negro teachers. The City of
Albany, the capital of New York,
the home of Harlem, employs only
three Negro teachers. The city of
Newark employs 220O school teach
ers. but only 70 of them are Ne
groes, and none is a principal.

of the separation of the races at

further word to the Negroes Of

If you accept this opportunity,
it will mean better days for all

The address was concluded with
remarks on the subject of segre-

History shows that the first
white man ever to be legally hang
ed in Mississippi was executed for
the murder of Negro slave.
| repeat that while we, the peo-
pie of Mississippi, are unalterably
determined as a matter of right
and justice that the necessary rules
of society shall be maintained, we
do not any more approve of vio-
lence and lawlessness than you do.
We ask you to remember that
by reason of the number involv-
ed, this problem is more acute here
than in any other state in the I'M
ion. 1t is not something which
can be viewed with complacency
or ignored, and if you lived in Mis-
sissippi and knew the full situa-
ton, you would look upon it as
we do.
Despite all the propaganda which
has been fired at us, the country
can be assured that the white people
of Mississippi are not a race of
Negro killers. Official statistics
for the state of Mississippi for
1854 show that in that year, the
last for which we have figures
available, eight white people were
killed by Negroes and only six Ne
groes were killed by whites, while
1872 Negroes were killed by mem
bers of their own race. In other
words, there are 80 times as many
Negroes killed by members of their
own race as by members of the
white race.
Now, for a word to those loyal
Negro citizens of Mississippi who
love their state and who are I'M
willing to be made the victims of
propaganda from professional agi-
tators.
| must remind you that when
one searches the entire history of
all nations, peoples, governments,
and minority populations there will
be found examples of extinctions,
enslavements, torture, and exile,
but there cannot be found one
single instance where a govern
ment has forced one race against
its will to integrate' with another
With all due respect to the
