PAGE TWO THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. a, FRIDAY,' JANUARY 21, 1953 r::r;:::::::3ic:i WHAT IS . TAKING PLACE BY ' UNITED STATES SENATOR The situation with regard to lynch ' ing in the United States hardly justi fies the time the Senate is giving to the anti-lynching bill. However, as it was brought forth primarily for vote-gathering purposes in Northern and Eastern states, - Southern Sena tors have been forced to come to the defense of law enforcement officers in their respective states. Nowhere in the country is there 'to be found more able and efficient men than those who -enforce state, county and municipal laws in the South. A Fed eral anti-lynch law would be a reflec tion on these officers and all possi m, ,r I . u.: j t s Fortunately, the debate on the anti-j m0"1 PrPose. d something about lynching bill comes at a time when! that? Certainly it is of more na the Senate is awaiting a conference1 tio,,al concern tha" the ""fortunate renort on the farm bill and action on! other measures pending in the House. Thus, Southern Senators are carrying on their fight without, up to the pres ent time, serious delay to much-needed and important legislation. Perhaps never before has the Sen ate given such time to the control of a non-existent problem. Lynching is ho longer a real problem. Greater progress has been made in control of lyncnmgs tftan in pemaps any otner the week-end with Mr. White's moth form of crime. In 1901, there were er MrS- Henry Winslow. Mrs. Wins- 130 people lynched in the United j States. In 1936, there were nine. North Carolina had none. What oth er crime has been reduced so rapidly ? Who reduced it? Not the Federal Government, but vigilant law en forcement officers in the Southern states. One feature of the proposed anti lynch law would provide an indem nity for the families of unfortunate lynch victims. What about funds for the families of Federal officers killed by gangsters? The govern- the Oliver Deciding on power is important business for the modern farm. So before yon buy any tractor, or even a team, see and drive the Row Crop 70". Inquire, test, compare. Two years ago the "70" first appeared new in its 6 cylinders, its automotive advances, it streamlines. More than a new tractor, the "70" was then as the "70" is today, a new idea in farm power.

Yesi be xraae i our amies in un an uuver iTacior - ; t Save Time Hertfcrd, N. ti : ; ment provides none,-' Yet, the legis lative controsity known as" the anti lynch law is being given attention.. as if it were designed to control a na tional problem, instead ; of ; to get votes for the sponsors. --. ' - ' 'This is being done at a time when the South is tKe safest part :of ; the United States for .law-abiding people and in a section where law-abiding Negroes have their greatest number of friends. What is really proposed is to "lynch" the Constitution and its guarantees of states' rights solely for vote-gathering purposes. - Any such idea is, of course, extremely distasteful to Southern members of Congress schooled in the traditions of the South. ? During 193$ there were forty-four instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Thirty-nine of these were in Southern states. Here is evidence of what officers in the South are doing to prevent lynchings at the risk of their lives. The Feder al Government could not do the job better, Since the year 1862, there have ben 4'673 P16 ,vncned in Ignited States, according to available records. While nine people were lynched in 1936, nearly 40,000 wert killed in careless and negligent high way accidents. This is a national i Droblem. Does the Federal Govern ivnenmgs oi nine persuiis for which they would have, in most instances, been executed by the state. Congress in the anti-lynching bill is endeavoring to make a legislative mountain out of a local mole hill.

C. WHAT'S WHAT SOCIAL' SECURITY As another service -to its leaders. The 'Perquimans .Weekly each., week will give authoritative answers to questions on the Social ' Security Law. By special' arrangement with Mr. George N, Adams . in r: Rocky Mount, N. O, th Social Security Board has consented to pass ,on the accuracy: of answers to Questions on Social Security, which may be asked by employers, employees, and others, through The Perquimans ,,, Weekly Address inquiries to the Editor. An swers will be given here in, the order in which questions are received. This is an informational service and is not legal advice or service. In keeping with Social Security Board policy names will not be published. Question: I was 65 years old on JUt-ember 18, and had a ; Social Se curity card, but haven't received my heek yet. How do I go about get ting what is due me under the Social Security Act ? Answer: You should get in touch with your Social Security Board Field Office, give them all the information you can regarding your Social Secur ity record, end make a formal claim for your old-age insurance. The amount you will receive will be 3 percent of your total wages in cover ed unemployment since December 31, 1936, and the time you attained 65 years of age, which in your case was December 17. After the Social Se curity Board has determined, from the wage record kept under your Social Security account number, the amount due you, certification of your claim will be made to the Treasury Department. Your check will then be mailed to you from the Treasury of the United States. Question r If my employer doesn't report my Social Security taxes, will I be able to collect my old-age insur ance upon reaching 65 years of age, or if I should die would my estate be able to collect it under these circum stances ? Answer: The amount which will be paid you under the old-age in surance provisions of the Social Se curity Act does not depend on the amount of taxes collected .from you or paid by your employer under Title VIII of the Social Security Act. The amount yon receive will depend on the total of your wages earned in cov ered employment after December 31, 1936, and before you become 6, years of age, or die. But the empltfjrer who does not obey the law and report the amount of wages paid, each em ployee, put his employees at a dis advantage because the Social Security Board will not have a record of those wages when it comes time to compute the amount the Board should pay each worker under the old-age insur ance provisions of the law.
