entangling operation.
The standstill bill has just been
through its committee stage in the
Commons and been given a third
reading.
But this was not achieved until
there had been some sharp ex-
changes on such questions as the
training Of South African troops
in Britain, the terms on which
South Africa could borrow money
In London, and the position of the
trusteeship territory of South
West Africa and the British pro-
tectorates of Basutoland, Bechuan-

On the question Of South African
troops, some Labor members said
they were not impressed by the
argument that Britain and South
Africa would still need to have de-
Tense arrangements mutually bene-
fetal to both.
A labor member, John Dugdale,
moved an amendment to the stand
still bill which aimed at withhold
ing the existing rights of South
African troops training in Britain.
Mr.. Dugdale contended that
South African troops were not in
effect training with the British
forces for the mutual benefit of
both countries.
He asserted that they were being
trained for possible action against

ote On
Social Security

Nobody wants to lose money.
Yet this is happening every day,
according to John F. Pate, man
ager of the Jackson Social Secu-
rity office.
This is true because many
people who have reached re-
tirement age do not seem to
know that they do not have to
quit work completely to get all
or some of their social security
benefits during the year.
Under the social security law,
if you are eligible for retire
nent benefits, you can earn up
to 81, 200 a year and get a bene-
fit check for all IL months in
the year. If you make more
than 81, 200, you will still re-
ceive a check for an month in
witch you do not earn more
than 500 or do not render sub
stantial services in seIf-employ-
ment.
In addition, even if you earn
more than $1,000 a year and
work all months in the year, you
may still get some benefit
checks during the year. For
earnings over 81 200 and up to
s1,700, benefits are withheld on
the basis of ST. in benefits for
each 81 Garner. On earnings over
$1,700, 81 in benfits is with
held for each ST. earned. There
fore, the benefits a person or
family can actually receive when
the person earns more than
$1,000 a year depends on both
his total wages and the total
amount of benefits due.
Mr.. Pate invited working per-
sons of retirement age to visit,
call, or write his office and
ask for the free pamphlet, "21
Questions and Answers about
Social Security Payments" The
office located at 431 North
Street. The telephone number
is Fleetwood 5-S687.

Mr.. Kaunda announced the

tails except to say Africans

Last week Mr.. Kaunda said
the plan has been suspended

wave of arson and sabotage.
Several Africans have been
killed and injured in clashes
with police. Mr.. Kaunda said his
patience was exhausted, but he
was still sticking to nonviolence

the territory.
The United National indie

Protestant clergymen, especially
Africans, have suffered many
casualties.
identification of sources on
Angola almost inevitably brings
down upon them the full weight
of Portuguese retaliation. How
ever, it can be said that al
though each of these charges
of Portuguese brutality is echo
ed by the Union of Angolan Peo-
Piles (UPA), the principal An
golan nationalist organization,
with headquarters in Leopold
vile, each allegation either orig
mated or is confirmed by a nom
UPA source. In no instance do
the charges listed here emanate
from the UFA alone. Other al
legations of Portuguese atroci-
ties, made by the UPA but of
which there is no confederation
from other sources, are not in
cluded.
Nobody, of course, suggests
that the APPARENT savagery
which is characterizing Angola's
colonial war is confined to one
what is often a terrorist war,
blocking the dirt roads, laying
ambushes in the 10-foot-high
elephant grass, and bouncing
ruthlessly on Portuguese mill
tary columns and isolate vii
lagos and homesteads.
The Portuguese killed to date
are believed to number more
than 1000. Estimates of the
Africans killed vary from Is, 900
to $4,000.
What is clear is that the UPA
has a steady courier service be-
5ween Leopoldville and the An
yolan Battle-Ground, and that If

african Rebels

Portuguese troops and African
nationalist rebels are locked in
q fierce guerrilla war.
Into this corridor already have
lied at least 10000 African
refugees from the strife and
ipheaval of Angola. Some are
in the hospital with verified
Ease histories of napalm- bomb

wounds.
This refugee figure is a con-
servative one. These 126, 900 are
spread across the lower Congo

Between Angola to the south and
what used to be French Equa-
sorial Africa to the north.
Now, however, there are new
although unconfirmed reports
of a flood of up to $4,000 more
refugees in the Kahemba area,
escaping before a new Portu-
gese offensive. 1t is charged that
aat one point Portuguese troops
crossed into Congo territory,
whether by design is unknown.
The figure of go, 900 new refu-

Exaggerated. But there is little
doubt there is some flow of
refugees in this area where the
Congo bulges southwark into
Angola.
Meanwhile it is charged by
more than one source that bomb

taken place along the frontier
routes used by refugees.
There are further allegations
that complete African villages
have been destroyed by the
