THE JUDGE asked the old man
if he wanted to take the stand and
explain his side of the matter or if
he wanted to ask the witnesses any
questions. He said no to both ques-
tions.
THE JUDGE charged the prose
cutting witness with the cost of

free to go home. He picked up his
old hat and hurried from the court
room. At the door, the judge called
him back.
THE PROSECUTING witness

He took the knife out of his

STYLE Auto builders say
womenfolk are exerting an ever
increasing pressure on future style
trends. In fact, the original glove

even the non-skid tire can all be
labeled to some extent as early
examples of the "woman's touch"
Since the women is becoming

MORE PEOPLE USING THEIR
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Raleigh, March.-Exhaustion of
benefits is being watched carefully
by the Employment Security Com
missions Unemployment Insurance
Division as an index to the extent
and degree of seriousness of un-
employment in North Carolina,
said ESQ Chairman Henry E. Ken
dali today.
Under North Carolina law, a
worker may receive his benefit
check up to &c weeks of total UNI
employment in his benefit year.
Depending upon the amount of his
available wage credits, the worker
can qualify for weekly insurance
benefit amount ranging from $11
for wages of $500, to $32 for
wages of $4,000 or more during the
base period. This formula provides
insurance benefit amounts in pro-
portion to the wages paid the indi-
vidual worker during his base per-
iod.
Figures show that 3,797 unem-
ployed North Carolinians exhaust
ed their benefits during January,
an increase of 20 percent over the
same month last year.
After an individual exhausts his
benefits, he cannot file another APP
plication until ~ he has finished
out his benefit year Ga 52-week
period), and (2) had earnings of
as much as $500 in the two quar-
tiers Immediately preceding the
earlier claim, Kendall explained.
Employment Security records
disclose, however, that the average
claimant falls far short of exhaust
ing his benefit rights, even in per-
iods of economic recession. Of the
176,5O0 workers drawing a first
check in 1857, only 32,400-18 in
each 1O0-drew the full &c weeks
of potential entitlement. The av-
erage number of weeks paid per
new claimant was SO percent;
more than 1850 filed an initial
claim but resumed employment be-
fore receiving payment. Pay
ments for 1857 to insured workers
under the State program totalled
more than 1884 million, with the
average weekly payment to the
totally unemployed averaging $751;
81.

For Open Occupancy:
Anti Defomofion
League Speaker
Cites Gheffoes

One of the major arguments
presented before the st. Paul city
council in favor of open occupancy
last week was inadvertently omit
ted from this newspapers report

Speaking in behalf Of the Anti

Chapters of B'nai Birth was
Leonard Rappaport, st. Paul ac-
countant, who said, Experience
under the European despotism
gave rise to the word ghetto. The
threat of that institutions birth
in our city-implicit in restrictive
policies in housing demands our
strong opposition.
Rappaport pointed to the dan
gers 10 all citizens resulting from
a closed housing market; the
breeding Of slums, the absence OF
intercultural relationships, and the
attending MISUNDERSTANDING be.
tween people Of differing back
grounds which leads-in many in
stances-to community crime.
With these points in mind, Rap
paport informed the council that
"B'nai Birth joins forces with all
other groups dedicated to the err
adication Of restrictive practices
and agreements which prescribe or
limit residential occupancy on the
basis Of religious or racial differ
ences."

Moc kinnon Denies
He Attended Meeting
Jim Grower Addressed

Republican gubern atorial
candidate George MacKinnon
this week issued a statement
on the Fairmont, Minnesota
meeting where he and other
Republican candidates ap.
Peared on a dinner program on
which F. II. GieselSing a White
Citizens Council leader from South
Carolina was advertised to speak
and did address the meeting.
Mr.. MacKinnon's statement
said:
Il never attended any meeting
where any segregationist spoke.
Any accusation that I did is false,
and merely another example of
false DEL propaganda.
My record, ana that OF the Re,
publican Party, is that we favour
equal opportunities which segre-
gationists would deny. In fact, as
long ago as 1947, when 1 was a
member of congress, I personally
drafted the Civil Rights provision
Of the Federal Labor Act. This
provision guarantees Negroes a
job where a union that excludes
them has a union shop agreement"
Technically this paper has
learned that Mr.. Mackinnon was
correct to a partial degree because
the South Carolina speaker F.. H.
Gieseking spoke after MacKinnon
had left the hall II could stin be
argued with accuracy that he did
attend the same meeting with Gle.
seking.
The Martin County Republican
committee advertised the appear
ance Of Gieseking along with Mr.
MacKinnon and Anchor Nelson in
Freedmen publicity issued by
county chairman d. J. r. Nicker-
son and appearing on the front
page in the August Is, edition of
the Fairmont Daily SENTINEL.
II Mr.. MacKinnon and his staff
read the SENTINEL they should
have discovered the White Citizens
Council man was to speak.
Republican leaders in the state
have admitted the appearance of
segregauonist on a party pro-
gram was a bad mistake. Blame
for the debacle has been assigned
to several different people in
Martin County, but no names have
been given.

with F. II. Gieseking. an avowed
segregationist. There was no men,
ton that it was to be a political
rally followed by an educational
meeting"
Hem enway last week had
charged that COP gubernatorial
endorsee MacKinnon and COP
candidates Anchor Nelson and
Stafford King had appeared at the
same rally with Gieseking, a resi-
dent of South Carolina. GieseIxing
spoke against indignation Of public
schools.
"MacKinnon's denial is both
weak and hackneyed. It's the typi-
cal I've been a bad boy routine
/ was there, but / left before the
trouble started"
'MacKinnon's statement is a
blatant attempt to rewrite the
facs to serve immediate needs. 1t
leaves unanswered a number OF
important questions that Mime
sotans would like TO have ex-
planned.
Why did the Republicans in
vite Gieseking to speak at a Re
publican rally, and why did COP
candidates speak at the rally
knowing that a segregationist
would be doing the same thing.
IF the truth were known, il
would show that the conservative
element which has captured the
Republican party in Minnesota is
working closely with the conserva-
tive, reactionary South.
This certainly is indicated by
the vote in Congress on the Ken
nedy-Ives Labor Bill which would
have eliminated much of the rack
eteering in labor today. Yet the
