are two full size, working tele-

students hear the dial tone, get
busy signals and, best of all, can
actually talk to another student

class may hear both sides OF the
conversation by means of an elec-

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS
Widows 62 Years Old Can Get
Benefits Back to November. 1856

Widows 62 Years Old Can Get
Benefits Back to November, 1856
A widow who was 81 years old
or over in November, 1856 can
still get her social security bene-
fits back to that month if she ap-
plies before the end of November
1857, according to Myron Mil
bouer, manager of the Wilmington
social security office.
Thousands of women in Della
ware have applied for benefits
since the Social Security Act was
changed to permit women to start
drawing their payments at age
so. Milbouer states, however, that
there are Undoubtedly many wom-
en- past age 62 who have not ap-
piled. A working woman or the
wife of a living retired worker
may not want to apply before she
is 65 because she would have to
take permanently reduced bene-
fits. The reduction does not apply
to the widow or depedent mother
of a deceased insured worker. She
can get the full amount of her
payments starting at age 81.
The Social Security Act permits
retroactive payments to eligible
persons for not more than one
year. If the husband died in Nov
ember 1856 or earlier and the
widow was already 81 in that
month she should apply by Nov
ember 80, 1857. If she applies
later she cannot receive all the
monthly payments she might have
received if she had applied ear
lier.
Milbouer mentioned that wild
ows who apply for benefits can
speed up their payments if they
bring proof of age and proof of
marriage when they contact their
social security Office. He pointed
out that a birth certificate is not
absolutely required for proof of
age. Any reasonably reliable doc
ument such as an old family Bible
or an old insurance policy show
ing the widows date of birth will
be useful.

the goal of turning out the best
product they can, and realize, that

Importance Of

Stressed

The success of Social Security
depends upon the correct posting
of millions of accounts, Edward
P. Blonston, manager of the MI

today. He urged employers and
self-employed individuals to file
accurate and complete reports.
These reports should show the
workers name and account num-
Der exactly as it appears on his

Social security offices spend
much time and effort to encour-

NEW ORELEANS,-Continued

two recently enacted Louisiana
laws designed to bar Negro stu

eligibility and good moral cha

Stitution of higher learning of the
State Of Louisiana"
In a decision handed down of
April Is, United States District
Judges Herbert Christenberry and
Shelly Wright declared the laws
to be unconstitutional because
their obvious intent =. was to
discriminate against Negro citi-
zens and thus to circurnvent the
equal protection clause Of the 14th
Amendment"
Immediately involved in the
litigation were Louisiana State
University, Southeastern Louisi-
ana and McNeese colleges. The
Negro students in whose behalf
the suit was filed are Miss Ar
nease Ludly, Jack Bailey and
Miss Alma Lark. They were re-
presented by NAACP attorneys A.
p. Tureaud Of New Orleans and
Robert l.. Carter of New York.
The litigation, Judges Christen-
berry and Wright declare in their
Joint decision, concerns another
attempt by the Louisiana Legis-
lature to preserve by law, segre-

tutions of the state. This attempt,
while more subtle than its pre-
decessor, nevertheless . fails be-
