S. Security
Amendments
Are Praised

AFL-CIO President George
Meany today hailed the comppre-
hensive amendments to the So
cial Security Act introduced in
the House of Representatives by
Representative Aime j. Forand.
Meany said:
"The proposals of Mr.. Forand
are necessary, sound and en-.
lightened. The plight of Amer
iea's older citizens, caught be-
tween rising prices and fixed
incomes, is one which most GER
tainly deserves prompt and SYM
pathetic attention from Congress
when it convenes in January.
'The AFL-CIO has long urged
many of these proposals. We con-
gratulate Mr.. Forand, who has
once again demonstrated under
standing Of the problem and has
proposed a sensible solution.
I'VE are especially pleased
with his proposals for meeting
the often prohibitive costs Of
disqualification for those receiv-
in social security benefits. We
are confident this proposal viii
enlist widespread support.
''It is obvious these improve.
ments will require an increase in
the contribution rates. Organized
labor is prepared to pay the adj
ditional costs. We believe the
new benefits are worth it."

Work to Register Negroes


Knoxville College professors,
former student, and an Unitar-
ian Church worker started a
canvassing project in the North
West section of Knoxville TO get
Negroes to qualify as voters b.
permanently registering at the
Court House.
Working In their spare time
they carried 70 persons down
town and returned them to their
homes during a two week period.
Already folk are talking about
the idea and It seems that the
movement will gain momentum.
Now that this experimental ef-
fort has proved fruitful II Is
hoped that Negro ministers, civic
and fraternal organizations will
continue the job of getting
Knoxville's 1000 potential Nc
gro voters qualified. Around
1000 of the local $4,000 Negro
population are registered and
qualified voters.
