Group Improvement
Urged At Dinner

KANSAS CITY, Mo. = I'M
provement within the Negro
race by Negro citizens them
selves was urged here at the
third annual dinner of employ
es of The Kansas City Call.
Roy Wilkins, now secretary
of the NAACP, but a member
of the staff of the paper in the
early 2Os, told the sixty guests
of publisher Ada G. Franklin
that the race must take sober
and realistic" action to i'm
prove the image of the race
now held by many Americans.
The speaker denounced the
distortions which he said were
being used by opponents OF Ne
gro equality, but called for a
frank examination of condi-
tions and for the adoption Of
more rigid standards in var
ious aspects of group life.
For example, ''our enemies

Changes In Your Social Security
MEN CAN GET BENEFITS AT ACE 62
By EDWARD F. SULLIVAN
BY EDWARD F. SULLIVAN

The new amendments to the
social security law, signed by
President Kennedy last week,
give men early benefit rights
similar to those women have
had since 1856. The change ap-
plies to men between 81 and
IS years of age, and is design
ed especially to help those who
are unable to find employment
because of their age or poor
health. A man now 62 to 65
years of age can start receiving
benefits with the month of Aug
ust. But if he retires before
he reaches age 65, the monthly
amount of benefit paid him is
reduced. He will continue to
be paid the reduced amount
even after he reaches IS. De-
pendent widowers and the de-
pendent fathers of workers who
have died also can get benefits
at age 81. Their benefits, like
those of widows and dependent
mothers, are not reduced. For
men who re etire early, the
amount by which their bene-
fits will be reduced depends on
the number of months for which
they will receive benefits while
still under 65. A worker who
retires and claims his benefits
as soon as he reaches 62 will
qualify for 80 percent of the
amount that would be payable
to him at age 65 based on his
average earnings up until his
retirement. If he waits until he
is 63, he will get 86 2/3 percent
of his full benefit; and if he
waits until "a, the amount will
be SO l/3 percent. The reduc-

HTA Inaugural
At Brandywine
Saturday, July Is

ment around BrandyWlne Race
way this week where a host of
the nations top four-year- r-old
trotters will gather for the in
augural of the rich Harness
Tracks of America trotting SER
les this Saturday, July 18th.
The series, a magnet for 33
major leaguers, has a total
value of $ll2,500 and will be
introduced at the big B" with
fitting pomp and ceremony.
Brandywine president Howard
Miller announced that HTA
President Donald D. MacFar-
lane and Executive Secretary
Stan Bergstein will be down for
the kickoff, as well as other
top brass from harness racing
circles.
The opening leg is worth
$l3,3 300. It's the first of nine
major stake events on the big
BIS" summer racing calendar.
From Brandywine, the H T A
tour goes to Worthwhile Downs
July 22); Scioto Downs July
29); Batavia Downs august
l9); and Monticello Raceway
(September p. Yonkers Race
way will host the ten highest
point winners in the series in
a $50,000 Final on September
18th.
Since the track opened this
past Friday night July 7th)
crowds have had more to cheer
about than just the races.
They've been loudly echoing
praises about the big BIS" new,
ultra-modern grandstand with
all its convenient and luxurious
features including the comfort
able stadium-style seats; three
levels for wagering; escalators
to and from the mutuel win
dows; and the new, huge cafe
terra.
The cleaning new grandstand
was constructed during the past
winter at a cost of $2,000,000
and enables Brandywine now to
accommodate comfortably, H.
600 fans nightly.
Last years H 7 A Trot here
was won in an upset by Duer
& Turner's Paleface Hanover
who clicked off a 2:02.l. The
time was just two ticks off Su
Mac Lads track record of D.
OLA, and with the calibre of
horses for this years contest
regarded the greatest yet, both
these marks could conceivably
be broken.
