RALEIGH, N. C.—(C)—Race-

tion was reduced to tak-
[fng a job as cldl'k of the court of

from his prejudiced books and
plays, but now “needs the
money” from his new job. He suc
ceeds a majj who retired at the
age of 9fi.

Social Security Board today a
caution that cards issued by the

Possession of an account card,
holds no particular significance
for othier identification purposes
or for the financial responsibility
of the individual, Mr. Stiacey W

e^ar;^’ of the Social Security
Board office at 116 1-2 S. Salis
bury Street ifT Raleigh, said.
Board wisf^ to ompEa-
size, Mr. Wade said, that under
the circumstances in which ac
count cards,, are designed to be
used it is against the employee’s
interests to use a card other than
his own. Account numbers are be

For purposes of the Federal
old-age benefits program, em
ployers, beginning next July, will
use account numbers in report
ing the amount of Wages paid em
ployees. These wages will be cre
dited to the individual employee’s
social security account. The a-
miount. of old-age benefits will
be based on tlj^t4^1^ amount of
individual employee in
covered emplojhnent after-1930
and tin tiihe reaches age 65, Mr.
Wade pointed out.
Employees' in industry and com
merce who do not have account
cards. M1\ Wade added, may be
obtained in the same way em
ployees who have lost their cards,
numbers were urged to apply im
mediately aC their local post of

NEW YORK, May 13,-^Noth
ing will be done about tVe blow
torch double lynching at Duck
Hill, Miss., on April 18, it was
declared last week by the Indion-
ola. Miss., Suhflower^T^estn.
-NotHmg will ever come of
any investigation the governor
^nd not &ne member of the mob
will ever be arrested,” the paper
says in an editorial. “We do not
ccndone lynching, but if two per
sons- ever deserved lynching, the
two 1>rutes at Duck HiII ricTily
deserved what they got. We have
no sympathy to waste on them.
None -whatever.”
This editorial was cited by the
NAACP as further proof, if any
were still needed, that the south
ern states—particularly in the
deep ^outfi—wilT n6l~ivef do
anything to stop lyching and
punish) lynchers and that, there
fore, a federal anti-lynching law
is necessary.
'The Jackson, Miss. Daily News
of whicH veteran Negro^
Colonel Frederick Sullens is
editor, declared editorially that
the outburst over, the Duck Hill
lynehings was “a lot of tommy-
rot.”
The Columbus, Miss., Dispatch
declared editorially that it was
sick ann tired” of the South be
ing blamed for lynehings and al
so that it was “sick and tired” of
of soinef««rttesm rtitOTS
with the' critics of the South.
These editorial expressions
from Mississippi represents the
opposite extreme from the edito
rials in more enlightened sectioni
of the South. As a matter of fact
the Mississippi editorials and one
or two from Alabama papers^re
th« worst editorials in the whol-^
country irt favor of lynching.
There is the birth of interest in
the sepia movie theme. "Imitation
of Life” may have begun it,
“Sanders of the River” may have
helped, “Green Pastures” uu-

himself as being highly gratified
over this action which allows

sion Society did not consider
Shaw University under its aus
pices.
According to the president the
additional ineome from the fund

Instances ifi which the cardj
are being retained by employers
>iavo been brought to the atten-
Thls has happened, Mr. Wade*ext
plained, in cases where employer#
held the cards sent to thorn by
post offices for distri'oution lo
employees, and where new em
ployees have given tlieir carda
to employers so that the account
numbers could bo recorded ca
the employer’s records. In, some
of these instances, Mr. Wada
said, employers have not knowa
what to do with the cards.
In these cases, and in all others
where account number cards are
given to employers, Mr. Wada
ei^hasized that ^ey ahould ba
turned over to eraployaes promp
tly.
Mr. Wade pointed out thiat
employees, in reporting theix
social security account numbers
to employers, need not give
lerr account carda to—eiaploy*—
ers. The only requirementj ha
sta^d, is that employees furnish
employers the account numbera
ion of the Board, Mr. Wade said.
