When he landed here, a woman pas
senger took him in her cab to Y.
M. c. A.
She lent him $3.50 for the nights
loding, and next day telephoned
him to go to the Committee on
Friendly Relations among Foreign
Students, 291 Broadway. The COM
mittee lent him $40 for bus fare to
California.
He got to Stanford just one day
too late for the fall term. But he
got a job as a delivery driver.
Then the family of DIR. John Eek
ert, assistant director of university
health services took him in. Schol-
arships helped him through the
balance of college and medical
training.
He was graduated with his medi-
cal degree in June, 1857, and in
termed for year at Kings County
Hospital in Brooklyn. Currently
he is studying at Columbia Pres
byterian Medical Center, pending
departure for Kenya next March.
The new fifty-bed hospital
which DR.. Njoroge hopes will be
entirely African-run and supported
in five to eight years-is planned
for a village called Chania. Thirty
three miles for Nairobi, it would
be on fertile land where it would
grow its own Good.
1t would be training as well as
treatment center, and would set
up clinics in villages where natives
have sometimes hitherto had to go
scores of miles for medical help.

so by 100000 to $1,000. The re-
suit was independence and, as
de Gaulle had warned, its conse-
quences.
Toure is making significant eff
fort to minimize the economic and
technical consequences for his peo-
pie, but already Paris has called
eff future investment by the
French Colonial Development Fund
in Guinea and has said the nearly
one thousand French civil servants
will leave this land within two
months.
The response by Toure showed
a moderation that is seldom asso-
ciated with new nationalism. He
declared he wanted Guinea to re-
main in the French monetary zone
and wrote President Coty asking
for special association" with
France.
The background of Toure and
most of the members of his Gov
eminent is Marxist by way of the
Communist-dominated French Gen
eral Confederation of Labor
But when Premier Krushchev
cabled Soviet recognition of the
Guinea Republic Oct. 5, the day
the new French Constitution was
proclaimed, Toure told Jean Ris-
terucci, the representative of
France for liquidation, that he
would not reply until he received
word Of French recognition.
The gesture was the more i'm
portant because the long Soviet
message is understood to have in
cluded an offer of economic and
technical aid.
Members of the Guinea Gov
eminent say they are prepared
to pay for independence by fore
going French Government invest
ment. But they want private cap
ital from the West to replace it
and develop the resources of the
land-thus far chiefly iron and
bauxite.
1t is clear ne is anxious for
help and sympathy from the free
world and he objects to what he
views as a French attempt to
isolate Guinea from other Western
powers by attaching the Commun-
list label to his Government.
European business men and in
dustrialists here are extremely
anxious that France continue to
support the new republic and thus
maintain stability. They take the
view that economic severity to-
ward Guinea as a gesture of pun
ishment" for secession will only
push Toure's Government into the
arms of the Communist world.
The problem for de Gaulle is
that if the independent state re-
ceives the same benefits as men,
bers Of the new community, the
community will have little reason
for existence and other territories
may follow Guinea's lead. The
chief advocate of excluding Guinea
from assistance appears to be Felix
Houphouet-Boigny, political lead
er of the Ivory Coast and Min
lister in the de Gaulle Cabinet.

1858 Changes
In Your Social
Security
By JOHN F. PATE
Manager of the Jackson Social
Security District Office

Security District Office
Ever since the enactment of the
original social security law, mar
riage or remarriage has often been
a reason for ending social security
benefit payments to dependent or
survivors of insured workers. In
many cases, it is still a cause for
the termination of benefits. The
law, as recently amended, however,
removes some of the restrictions.
For example, Mrs. Florence Jack
son, Cd, was widowed 2 years ago.
She has continued to live in the
home she and her husband bought
soon after their marriage, and has
been receiving $81.40 a month as
social security widows benefit.
Naturally, she's been lonely and
has welcomed the friendship of
Frank Brown, a lifelong neighbor.
Frank, 72, and widower for many
many years, lives in a small furn-
ished room, on the income from
the monthly social security checks
paid to him because he was depend
ent upon his son, Bill, when Bill
died number Of years ago.
Recently, it has occurred to Mrs.
Jackson and Mr.. Brown that it
would be both pleasant and SEN
sible for them to marry and spend
their remaining years together.
Until just a month or so ago,
however, their marriage would
have meant financial disaster be-
cause it would end social security
payments for both of them. Under
the provisions of the social secur-
ity law, benefits paid to the de-
rendents of a worker-to his child,
to his widow Cor widower), or to
an aged dependent parent stop
when that dependent marries.
A change in the social security
law will now make it possible for
them to go ahead with their mar
riage plans. Under this change,
a dependents social security bene-
fit payments will not stop is he
or she marries another person who
is also receiving social security
payments as dependent. A wom-
an receiving widows benefits can
therefore marry person who, like
Mr.. Brown, is getting dependent
parents benefits, or she can ma; ry
someone who is eligible for bene-
fits as a dependent widower or as
the disabled son or daughter of a
retired or deceased worker.
Marriage to person who is not
receiving social security benefits
will still end the beenfits rights
(present and future) of depend
ent-beneficiary. But another change
in the law will help dependent-ben
eficiaries who marry persons who
are now or who may soon be get
ting old-age insurance or disabil
ity insurance benefits. Until now
such a marriage would have end
ed the dependents benefits and ht
or she would have had to wait a
least 8 years to get benefits as
the dependent of the new spouse
or in the event of his death, shc
would not have been able to qualify
for benefits as his widow unles.
the marriage had been in effect fol
at least l year.
The 1853 amendments to the
law remove these periods. Some
one like Mrs. Jackson could there
fore marry a man who is getting
old-age insurance benefits ant
qualify Immediately for wife's ben
efits based on his social security

Actually, only the first Is mentioned

. Counting the current meetings, the
Supreme Board has three semi-annual ses-

While we have no vote in the Supreme
Board, we are one of the groups two Re-

of opinion which mark these gatherings
merely attest to the independence Of the
group.
