P. New York, June 23. — The Roosevelt administration’s social security bill which passed the Senate by a 76-6 vote June X9th, provides practically no social se curity for Negroes, declares a statement from the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored people. Most colored workers, are eli minated entirely from the bjll by its omission of farmers, farm workers, domestics and casual labor from its benefits. A few thousand Negroes who are on regular industrial payrolls in the North may receive some benefit, but they will be but a drop in the bucket so far as the grand total of Negro wrokers is concerned. There is no safeguard in the bill anywhere against race preju dice in its administration, al though the N. A. A. C. P. and other organizations opposed the legislation vigoriously on this and other grounds. Charles H. Houston appeared before the Sen ate Finance committee last wintet a”'1 spoke in opposition to tin bill for the board of directors ol the assoeaition.

Ans: Yes,—she will again send you the money to return HOME on Just as long as she has one penny she will share it with you and you should appreciate her more than you do. After all. she is your HALF SISTER and she has certainly proved herself to be one peach of a girl compared to your own sister. L S- F—Is it best for my hus band and myself to move to our selves ? Ans: It seems to me that your household is rather pleasant—and since both of you like it fine with your mother-in-law there is no need to move. She will never cause one MJ MUTES TROUBLE for you and him if she is partial to anyone she will show it in your favor It would hurt her terribly if you de cided to leave P.

Scores Missionaries in Crisis Article Quotes Mussolini’s Paper to Show Old Religious Cry Being Used in Campaign to Conquer Euthiopia. New York. June 2o.—Writing under the subject, “The Mission ary Racket in Africa," in the July Crisis, out this week, George Pad more scores the part the priests and ministers played in bringing the Dark Continent under im perialistic rule, and links past history to the present effort of Italy to conquer Ethiopia. Quoting an Italian newspaper believed to be the official voice of Premier Mussolini as saying 'The Cross now stands at the frontiers of Abyssynia, and soon it will march ahead of our gal lant troops, the torchbearers of fascicts civilization; let no one seek to block our path,” Mr. Pad more declares: “This is how Mussolini’s mouth piece is trying to arouse the sym pathies of the Christian world for his imperialistic venture against the last independent black state in Africa. This, however, is not the first time the whites have !eloaeked their predatory designs against colonial peoples by ex ploiting religion.’’ The article traces the conquest and annexation of Uganda and shows the prominent part played by the missionaries in the cam paign. Other articles in the current number are “Swan Song of De mocracy.’’ by Ernest Calloway; The Negro and Low-Rent Hous ng,“ by J. P. Murchison; “The Gilpin Players,’’ by William Pick ens: also a story. “Masquerade,” by Isabel M. Thompson, and a sketch of Mrs. Mary McLeod Be thune. winner of the 1954 Spin i igam medal. Newly-created Honors at Hampton and Their Winners Hampton Institute, Ya. June 23. —Students at large may be inter ested to know something of the background of those who receiv 1 ed their degrees of Bachelor of Science with the newly designat ed honors, at Hampton’s recent commencement. They came from the East, Southwest, Middle Atlantic and the Virgin Islands, and were students whose backgrounds are such as to indicate that there are thousands of other students from other parts of the country who can do just as well, if they will apply themselves as did these honor students. The list follows: Highest Honors “Degree With Highest Honors” Miss Jane Tuitt. Christiansted, Virgin Islands. Miss Tuitt, born in Christiansted, demonstrates again, what has been often re marked, the tendency of foreign Negro students to lead in the winning of honors in our schools. Whether this is due through foun dation training in the foreign schools, a more serious applica tion to study by the foreign Ne gro student ,a greater apprecia tion of opportunities offered in our schools ,or a combination of all of these is not easily detrmin ed. It can not mean lack of abi ity on the part of the American Negro students, as their honors i list in various colleges abundant ly testify. But the fact remains i that the foreign Negro student is generally found among the win ners of high honors in American schools. Miss Tuitt, a trifle more mature than our average college student, was not only exceptionally bril liant, but had a very sane out look on life, was well-balanced in judgement, and would never be classified as a giddy, frivolous student. She received her initial train ing in the public schools of the Virgin Islands. At Hampton, in addition to membership in vari ous student organizations, she was. president of the T. W. C. A. For the terms 1933-34 and 1933-35, the held honorary scholarships and her majors were science and mathematics. Degree With Honors A running comment on the five students who received their “De gree With Honors,” would in clude the items listed below: Lois V. Anderson, born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas; educated in the public schools in Pine Bluff; member Glee Club : Phillis Wheat ley Association; president Girls’ Athletic Council, 1935; majored n business. Janie Mann: born in Phoebus, Virgina, educated in Hampton. Virginia Church organist a numb er of years member of choir, ma jored in Physical Education and English. Merritt Wilson: bom in Phila delphia : educated in public schools in Philadelphia. Letter man Basketball: 1933 and 1934; majored in Physical Education | and Social Studies. Lillian Paxton: Teaches in Roanoke, Virginia. Has been at tending Hampton Summer School for 14 consecutive years.

June 23.— There must be equal opportunity for all sutdents and no color dis crimination at Michigan State College, teh State Board of Agri culture decreed on June 11, fol lowing protests made by the Na tional Association decreed on June 11, following protests made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple and Attorney Oscar MT. Baker of Bay City. Micihgan. Their complaint to the board was based on the barring of Albert H. Baker, Attorney Baker's son. and James McCrary, another colored student, from practice teaching at the East Lansing ihgh school and the Central grade schools in Lansing. The board s decision means that this discrimination will not be ended. Both studtnts were taking •ourses in sociology and economics whcih require ‘‘practice teach ing” at the two public schools tamed. Each student is supposed o take his turn in actual teach ing but the two colored youths were prevented from doing so and allowed only to sit and r‘ob serce. ’ One teacher frankly ad mitted that a colored student tould not actually teach. For his reason young McCrary was only able to be a “B” instead of <rn “A,” as did the white students who actually taught. McCrary las been a star half-back on the Michigan State football, and Bak *r has played end.

Subject Discussed by Masters of Arts at Hampton Institute Hampton Institute, Ya., June 23.—The deep interest taken here in the welfare of schools ,their pupils and courses of study is rather pointedly indicated by the fact that each one of the four candidates for the degree of Master of Arts at commencement had presented a thesis that dis cussed one of these topics, at least. The list follows: Sanford P. Bradby, “A Com parison of Beading and Achieve ment, in the One-teacher the Three-teacher and the Six-teacher Schools, of Eleven-year old child ren in the Negro public schools of Aiken county, South Carolina.
