Reject Use Of
Troops In South
BY Myra Tanner Weiss

With a carefully prepared
statement on civil rights, Adlai
Stevenson, the leading candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for President, tried Feb. IL to
appease the outraged cry of in
dignation that followed his COM
ments the previous week. At a
press conference, in Portland,
Ore, he tried to wish the civil
rights issue out of the 1855 cleo
ton campaign. He had hoped,
Stevenson said, that accomplish
ments in civil rights would re-
move this issue from the poll
tical arena I still consider
this not only possible but es-
Sential."
:. On Feb. 7, in Fresno, Calf,
Stevenson expressed fear of up
setting traditions and habits
older than the republic" In ad-
dition he admitted that if elected
President he would not use fed
eral troops to enforce the Con-
stitution in the South.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has turned deaf ear to the
demand for federal protection
against the raciSt terror in hte
South. Now Stevenson has made
it clear that he also would do
nothing.
other Democratic hopefuls for
the presidential nomination, de-
magogically took a more vigor-
Gus stand for federal interven-
ton. But all of them ducked the
key issue of federal troops to
the South to protect human life
and the civil rights of the Negro
people.
Gov. Hartman met this issue
on. radio interview program,
Feb. ,12, by saying, "The ques-
ton of federal troops going in
and enforcing federal law hasn't
ever come up at ALL"

another one of those wide open
sessions, which will have the
spectators talking about it for a
long time. .-
The case of John M. McKinnon
who twas charged with assault
with a gun on Mrs. Gertrude
King was probably one of the
top cases of the days session.
The incident, which occurred on
Saturday night at 442 NV. Goth
Street, Apt. 7, was one of the
most involved hearings witnessed
in the local court in quite some
time.
Mrs. King told the court that
McKinnon threatened to shoot her
with large gun, becauSes she in
terceded when McKipnon was at
tempting to shoot her son, over a
, matter which dates back to De-
cember / of last year. Mrs. Kings
son had wrecked McKinnon's car
on December l, and according to
McKinnon had refused to pay for
, the repairs of the same. A series
of arguments arose of the matter
Of paying for the repairs OF the
car. The gun in question was on
display in court.
McKinnon denied pulling any
gun or threatening either Mrs.
King or her ron. Mrs. Kings
ughter, who is a common-law
wife of McKinnon, sided with him
during the hearing and testified
against her mother. A grandson
of Mrs. King, also testified dur
ing the hearing, and reluctantly
said that he did see McKinnon
with gun in tusSle with Mrs.
King.
It was a long drawn-out hear
ing, which presented a most pa
thetic relationship. 1t was a case
of daughter against mother, in
favor of her husband.
Following the long hearing,
Judge johnson found McKinnon
guilty and fined him $500 or 30
days in jail.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:

Important Changes In Social Security
BY George v. O'Brien, Mgr. of the Social Security Office
Room 305, Highland Building, Pittsburgh 6, Pa.

This is the first of a series
of six articles explaining some
of the important changes
made in the old-age and sur
vivors insurance program be-
cause of the 1856 Social Sc
curity Amendments.
Today, I want to give a
summary of the three most
important changes designed
to strengthen our Federal in
surance system.
Effective with November
1856, benefits will become
payable to women when they
reach age 62. Survivors ben
efits for widows and depen-
dent mothers will start with
a payment for November
which will be received early
in December. These payments
will be the same as those they
would have received under the
old law at age IS. Beginning
with November 1856, retired
women workers and wives of
retired workers can get pay.
ments at age 81. However,
these payments will be less
than the amount payable at
age IS.
