President Gets Big Hand After Speech at Meet WASHINGTON, D. C. - President Lyndon B. Johnson won a rousing, standing ova- tion from the nation's Negro lawyers Thursday as he out lined recent Negro advance ment at the annual banquet of the National Bar Association in convention here. The President cited the record and declared: "We will match our record with any people-anytime in history." The President said much re mained to be done but closed on a note of high confidence when he told the cheering law yers: "I know that Americans, black and white, will prove they can be real soul brothers." The text of the President's speech follows: "Yesterday, along with my Cabinet, I heard a fascinating report about what is really happening in America today. The report came from a docu ment entitled "Recent Trends in Social and Economic Con ditions of Negroes in the United States." (The govern ment, you know, is famous for these catchy titles.) What we heard was a re markable story. Tonight, I want to share it with you and the American people. The report we heard does not say that everything is won derful for black people, or that they never had it so good. The report does not attempt to gloss over the gap that still sepe - separates white and black in this Nation. That gap do separates white and black in this Nation. That gap does exist - and it is widtf. But what we heard gives clear evidence that our society is on the move-that the gap is narrowing- that in the midst of crisis, encouraging changes are taking place. Almost unnoticed, large numbers of American Negroes, for the first time in our history, have begun to enter the middle class. Almost unheard of, large numbers- are breaking the old fetters of poverty and depri vation. Social Security For All Over 65 Urged DOVER (UPI) Reece B. Gardner, Ist District Republi can candidate for Congress said he wants to pay Social Security to anyone over 65 regardless of whether he works: "If Social Security is in fact old-age insurance, as the gov ernment claifs that it is, then I believe a man should get the money when it is due him, beginning in his 65th year," Gardner said. "He has paid it in. and ha should be able to get it out, even though he continues to work." Dr. Leon Wright Addresses AME Women Thurs. Dr. Leon E.
