Disability Rider
Offered Holders
If CT Insurance

A huge number of the veterans
holding National Service Life In
surance have not taken advan-
tage Of the opportunity to buv
low cost total disability income
riders to their CT policies. This
rider was first offered in 1858,
and since that time only about a
fifth of the policyholders have
applied for the rider.
Policyholders who have bought
rider and who become totally dis
abled from any cause before age
60 will receive a monthly income
of $40 for each $1,000 face value
of the insurance. Payments will
continue for the duration of the
disability regardless of its length.
After 60 the rider ceases to exit
for disabilities incurred after
that age. but continues to pay
for total disability arising before
age 60.
Veterans whose age at nearest
birthday is 40 or under may get
the rider without a physical
examination. Those older are re-
CURED to use the VA medical
application form filled out with
an examination by a VA doctor
or personal physician.

Whatever You Call It

WHETHER you call it Communism,
Socialism, or the Welfare State, the
result is approximately the same-more
government and less individual free
dom
THE men in high government office
are for the most part men of sincere
purpose and high ideals. There are
some exceptions. But the significant
point is that just because they hold Of
flee does not make them supermen.
They have no more knowledge, educa-
ton or integrity than the same men
have in local government or private
business But give them the helm
of the ship of state and their errors may
be disastrous to all Of us, whether it
is school administration, housing or well
fare benefits

and Henry Ford. II. chairman Of
the board of Ford Motor Co., re-
fused to accept the thesis that
archaeological advance is the
major cause Of unemployment.
And. both men were much more
optimistic of the nations ability
to meet the challenge through
the fnnctioning Of A relatively
free economy.
Burns was especially concern
ed lest massive government ac-
ton result in permanently higher
unemployment. He fOresaw some
segment Of the work forces BE-
coming more interested in I'M
employment benefits, retraining,
or moving all at government
expense - than in getting to
work as soon as possible.
Ford's concern was over what
seemed to him as committee pre-
occupation with a reshuffling Of
Jobs rather than with the crea-
ton of new Jobs. Maintaining
that the overall effect Of auto
NATION is to increase income and
expand job opportunities. he
said:
III We would help persons
displaced by chronological ad-
vance. we must focus our atten-
ton not on relief or even train
ing-though these, properly con-
ceived and administered. will
telp-but OH creating new jobs
for people who seek them and
can perform in them"
In specifics, Ford feared that
large-scale actions by the federal
government might destroy in
centives needed to stimulate pri-
vate economic activity and gen
eral individual initiative: that
federal establishment Of unem-
ployment compensation stand
ards would interfere with a
states determination Of its parti-
cular needs under prevailing
conditions. and that nationwide
re-training programs under 60
vernment sponsorship would
hamper the development OF local
programs tailored to existing
needs and individual abilities.
AS to arbitrarily shortening
the work week. Ford regarded
that not only as a confession of
defeat" but as actually harmful,
since it would retard growth
needed al this point in American
economic history.

Beware OF A
Rad Reputation
The above program is being
followed continually by young
home buyers who think nothing
of their reputation. But it is wise
for young married couple to
establish a reputation for bones
ty and reliability. This is very
important. Young people may
get married without money. but
they should have an insurance
policy upon which they should
never borrow and good Gre
dit.
The zeal estate men combine
into associations which report to
one another. The bank where
you as a new resident viii be
cashing your monthy check in
the new city will get a report
upon you from its correspondent
banks in the city you are leaving
So be sure to establish good
credit. Be able to refer to your
school principal and your minis
ter or priest - and especially to
your former employer. Be "above
board" in all your transactions
with your real estate agents and
with the storekeepers. Build up
good credit wherever you are
and save a little money each
month after paying your insur-
ance premiums, which should be
a MUST.

For Purchasing
The offering price for new va
cant houses has not yet been
broken in most sections; but the
terms of purchasing have been
severely cut. A veteran can

any money down: while any
young couple can get a home for
10 percent down, and a small
monthly payment. When the new

would pay for rent. only then
they would not have a new

Reverse Racial Flow

Reprinted From The New York
Daily News
Roert c. Weaver, who would
head the proposed federal de-
partment Of urban affairs and
housing. on Feb. 10 called for
a reversal of the trends that are
sending white populations to the
suburbs and bringing Negroes to
the cities.
He told the Federation of
Protestant Welfare Agencies at
the Hotel Commodore:
If these trends continue we
may see in some of our urban
areas the emergence of non
white m a joritie in central
cities, and the solidifying of
white majorities in the sur
rounding subrs.
Should this come about.
racial cleavages will be added
to the jurisdictional cleavages
that now divide our metropoli-
tan areas and the problems of
urban development will become
even more complex than they
are today"
AS an alternative, he said
cities should provide housing
that can attract whites back"
He said effective enforcement
Of laws banning racial discriri-
nation in housing would "open
our suburbs to those nonwhites
who can afford to live there and
want to do So"
Weaver, a New York Negro
who is federal housing admins
traitor. would become the first
of his race to be a Cabinet
member if President Kennedy's

ment WithStands Congressional
attack.
Another urban problem, Weav-
err said. is the fact that older
whites are not moving to the
suburbs. In New York City, he
said, the white population de-
clined 475,OO0 between 1850 and
1860. but the number Of whites

ing at the bit about spending
all his time keeping store rec
ords fer them tax agencies.
He claims things is worse
now than they was back when
the OPA was regulating prices.
He recollected that back in 1916
when the OPA removed price
ceilings on cowbellS, bullrings,'
horseshoes and cocktail shakers.
he wrote 'em that he didn't
have no cocktail shakers. They
told him to git some.
He said things has went from
there to worse and today he
don't know whether the tax
folks owns his business or he
owns it. All he knows fer shore,
he claims. is that he waits on
customer now and then when
he can find time from tending
his tax books.
He allowed as how he was
voting agin all candidates in the
next election and aimed to shoot
the first one that tried to leave
any cards or literature in his
store. He claimed the only po-
