Social Security
Information

"Due to recent changes in the
Social Security Act, many Kinds
countians past retirement age can
now draw benefits for some months
of the year even though they may
have high earnings" stated John
F. Pate, Manager of the Jackson
Social Security office.
In years prior to 1861 a person
who earned over $2O8O and worked
all twelve months did not receive
check for any month of the
year. Now, beginning this year,
it's possible for a person to earn
over $2080 and still draw pay
ments for some months of the
year.
The amount a person can earn
before losing benefits payments
for all twelve months depends
mainly on the amount of his So
cial security benefit. @
Mr.. Pate suggests that those
people past retirement age (65
for men -'62 for women) get in
touch with their local social Sc
curity office for further infor-
nation about this recent change in
the Social Security Act.

UNIVERSITY LEADERS AT
Ministers Institute

from Louisiana and Mississippi.
The theme, "The Ministry in the
Living Church" was developed in
lectures, workshops, and sermons.
DR.. Leon E. Wright, Professor of
New Testament Literature and
Language, Howard University, en-
rhasized the role of a personal
conformation with God in COM
pretending the religion of Jesus as
distinct from "the religion about
Jesus" DR.. Samuel H. Giles, Pro-
fessor of Church History at Nor
ris Brown College, set the theolog-
ical formulations of the church in
historic perspective to show the
existenial character of our cur
rent predicament.
The practical problems of the
Minister in his parish operations
were dealt with by two able lead
ers: DR.. Melvin Swami, Pastor,
fashionable St. Joseph A.M.E.
Church, Durham, North Carolina,
who is currently developing a new
pension program for the A. M. E.
Connection, presented a syllabus
covering major areas of Practical
Theology. Under the suggestive
heading "Shop Talk, DR.. R. M.
Stevens, President of Campbell
College, which was host to the
Institute, led provocative discus
sions on particular problems be-
ing encountered by the Minister
in his task.
Bishop Ernest L. Hickman of
Detroit, Michigan delivered the
keynote sermon. Citing the faith
of Caleb, he called the ministers
to lead the church valiantly into
involvment in the real concerns of
our time. Sermons were also heard
from DR.. Giles and DR.. Wright. A
communion service in the Chapel
of Meditation" was conducted by
Bishop Frederick D. Jordan who
presides over this area for his
church, and was in attendance dur
ing the entire period. DR.. Charles
A. Jones, Dean, Lampton School
of Peligion at Campbell College
was the very efficient director of
the Institute.

The CORE Posture And Negro
Citizenship

Since the Negro question came into more active
public discussion during the past two decades all kinds
OF organizations have sprung up advocates of civil
rights and Negro frst-cass citizenship organization be-
hind such facade have such fascination and appeal
to Negro conscences to preclude and render vulgar
and uncaed for examination of the background and
real posture of such organizations.
One such organization only recently organized be-
hind the facade of civil rights and Negro first class
citizenship In the Congress Race Equality (CORE),
chief backer and promoter of the Freedom Riders.
According to well informed sources the real posture
of the Congress Race Equality is to seek every op-
portunty to embarass the United States Government
using Civil Rights and Negro first class Citizenship to
support its real posture.
makes the organization far less concerned about Negro
rights than for the right time and opportunity to
barrass the United States government which may well
account for the fact that choose to begin the Free
dom Riders the of the Kennedy Khrushchev talks
attacking in which the greatest progress has
been made in the abolition of racial segregation during
the past few years. and where the evidences of peace

Those who have any knowledge of the recent his
tory of the south know that Negro progress towards
civil rights and first class citizenship have been brought
to abrupt halt before by such attempts at revolution
ary action Identifies the Freedom Riders and aside
from maintaining the CORE posture, the results will be
the from the action of the Freedom Riders and
start will have to be made in an area of already
evolving progress.
In conclusion having identified the real posture of
CORE, submit that there will be civil rights and
first class citizenship for Negroes any other groups

far better future by refusing to be identified with
CORE any other organization whose real posture
to embarrass the United States Government.

He Who Handles

a hole-in-one rating in the con-
sideration of the hard boiled facts

Several years ago during a press
conference held for me in San
Francisco as a visiting official of
the United States Government
was serving as the Special As
sistant to the Administrator of
Veterans Affairs a reporter
from one of the daily papers ques-
toned me on the causes of ra-
cial discrimination against Negro
citizens. In reply l said that it
had never been my belief that the
base of this unjust discrimination
against my group was so much
that we were "colored" as it was
that we were "poor." When my
statement subsequently appeared
in the press throughout the coun-
try, sociological hell broke loose
and a veritable storm of con-
tentious comment swirled around
my unbowed and unmoved head.
AS far as this conviction is con-
cerned,. my head remains in ex-
actly the same position now as it
did then.
One of the country's best known
financiers and myself were both

me loud and clear, so to speak,

the shots in our society were the
ones who handled the money last.
