SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS INCREASED
The July 1, 1969, increase in
the base pay of members of the
Armed Forces will mean an au
tomatic increase in dependency
and indemnity compensation
(DIC) payments to approxi
mately 160,000 recipients of
monthly DIC checks, the Vet
erans Administration announc
ed recently.
DIC payments are authorized
for widows, unmarried children j
under 18 (older if attending '
school or helpless), and certain
parents of veterans who died as J
the result of military service.
Payments equal $120 a month,
plus 12 per cent of the monthly
basic pay currently being re
ceived by a serviceman whose
rank and years of service are
the same as those of the deceas- [
ed veteran.
In addition, the VA said, pay- !
ment may be increased where
there are two or more children,
up to $28 a month for each child
in excess of one depending on
amounts to which the family
may be entitled under certain
Social Security and Railroad
Retirement provision*.
DIC beneficiaries need not ap
ply to VA for the increased
monthly payments since the 1
new rates have already been
computed by the Veterans Ad- j
ministration and will be re
flected in the checks which VA
will send out at the end of July. |
JENSEN WRONG ABOUT BLACK IQS
SAYS LINGUIST IN SPEECH AT A&T
Charges of the genetic in
feriority of blacks to whites Is
due more to misunderstanding
than to facts, according to a na
tional authority on Negro dia
lect.
Dr. William A. Stewart of the
Education Studies Center in
Washington, D. C. was in
Greensboro Thursday and took
issue with recent racial state
ments of Harvard University
psychologist Arthur Jensen.
"Jensen's theory is due to a
lack of understanding of the
problems," said Stewart. "He
hasn't assessed some of the
more important reasons why Ne
groes don't do as well on stand
ardized intelligence tests."
Stewart, who also teaches a
course in Negro dialect at Co
lumbia University, spoke to 30
college teachers attending an
eight-week linguistic workshop
at A&T State University.
"The evidence that Jensen is
using is weighted," said Stew
art, "but most linguists know
that the differences in perform
ances are due mostly to lan
guage and cultural differences."
To bolster his own theory,
Stewart and several other lin
guists have started a project to
administer intelligence tests to
black pupils in Philadelphia,
both in dialect and in standard
English. The scientists want to
compare the pupils' perform
ances each way.
"We believe that these inner
city kids will do better when

they can take the test in dialect,
something they understand, and
when the tests themselves are
administered by blacks, rather
than by whites. We can already
see some differences."
Stewart said that some of the
misunderstanding that surrounds
the study of language is due to
white liberals and middle class
Negroes.
"They just don't believe that
there are cultural and language
differences," he added. "They
don't like to talk about differen
ces because when people talk
about differences, they become
identified with racism."
Stewart said that the stand
ardized intelligence tests in use
today "are based on white
norms." "Based the tests on
white norms and then give them
to white and Negroes and I
would be surprised if the Ne
groes didn't make lower scores."
He urged the teachers to study
language more. "When the Eng
lish of the children you teach
doesn't sound like that of the
teacher, it simply means the
child speaks differently. It does
not necessarily mean the child's
language is bad."
