Social Security
Benefits Earned,
Not a Charity
Social security benefits .re
earned insuranoe, not a charity,
Paul F. Johnson, manager of the
ugene office ol old age and sur
vivors Insurance is not a dole,
but an annuity based upon the
wage earner's contribution, his
own by right of purchase, some
thing to he proud of.
He is disturbed by the fact that
some people apparently feel they
must apologize when they file
claim for these benefits. There
have been actual cases of wage
earners 65 years of age and older
who have lost benpfits by not
filing a claim when their only
reason was simply that they had
too much pride to admit they
were 65 years old and out of a
job.
Johnson urges that every wage
earner who has worKed in em
nlovment covered by the Socia
Security Act should, when he at
tains age 65, get in touch with
the social security field office lo
cated at Eugene. For the con
venience of those people residing
in tne Kosenurg area, a repre
sentative will be at the Oregon
State Employment Service in
Kosenurg mesday, renruary i,
between 8:30 a. m. and 12 noon.
Any person wishing assistance In
filing a claim for social security
benefits, or who has any question
concerning the Social Security
Administration, should contact
him at that time.

New South Progressing at Faster
Pace Than it Seems to Realize
By HAL BOYLE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 2a. i.V Ole Massa with the mint
julep in his hand don't live here any more.
Yes, suh, there was an Old South there really was. But now,
yes suh, there's a New South there really Is.
And the New South Is right here, springing up like dandelions,
getting purty as a speckled pup on a red wagon. Of course, those
hammerheads up nawth don't know the New South Is arriving.
But, you know, It's a funny
thing -a visitor gets the odd feel
ing the people down this way
don't realize how far they've
gone In the direction they're go
ing. They have a luncheon or a ban
quet, yes suh, they generally or
certainly do. And they generally
and almost certainly also will
have at least one speaker who
will discuss "The New South."
Well, it's a funny thing about
that secch. It is pretty likely to
bring up the roses and raptures
of the Old South. And everybody
gets chiiiiky-in-the throat anil misty-eyed
over the glamorous past.
And then the speaker, In a
brief and defiant llnale, comes
out flatly with a prediction the
"New South everybody's been
waiting for Is on the way, sure as
Justice."
Ancestral Tradition
As a Missouri-born stranger
whose folks got here from Ire
land too iate to get mixed up in
the America's famous family
ouanvl. I claim I am as unpreju
diced as a man can be who be
lieves Robert E. Lee got directed
to the wrong court house at Ap
piimmattox. My Immigrant grandfather,
who came from Southern Ireland,
slaved out of this foreign Ameri
can fuss until he learned that the
South had "lost." From then on
he rented his 17 children in the
faith that the South must have
been right. But he didn't blame
Abraham Lincoln or General
Grant. He blamed the British. He
knew they wen' responsible for
Southern Ireland's plight, and he
was sure they had a tropic al
lergy here, too.
All that was long ago If not
faraway, of course, and that Is
Guaranteed

what I think of when I hear these
grandsons of one of the worst
military occupations in history
talk about the "New South."
I have seen two recent Ameri
can overseas military occupations
in Germany and Japan and
I am sure they were softer than
the occupation the "pore South"
suffered. After all, if your
mother-in-law moves In, doesn't
she muscle there longer than any
body? But that brings mc bid; to ilii
real point which is, what hap
pens after mamtny-ln-law, moves
out ? Well, it is hard to realize.
And I think It is hard for the
South to realize that It is freer
than it knows and maybe going
farther than it understands.
There aren't so many leaning
tar and tin covered wood shan
ties on a hillside now. Brick
buildings are gong up, factories
are opening. People, black and
white, are coming home with
more take-home monev. Sch ol
buildings for the poor white, the
poor black, are rising in every
area. They ai-e wiping out the
long dark shadow on the slow
soft land.
The news should go north. It
Is Important news to all America.
Progress Is here arriving.

Federal Funds to Relieve
Storm Stricken Area
(Continued from Page One)
needed for the rescue work.
Reopen Highways
The funds are being used to
open highways and roads so food
supplies and water can be de
livered to stranded cattle, as well
as to snowbound rancher!. Flem
ing is to leave Monday for a tour
of the stricken area. He said new
reports of emergencies came
from Montana and Arizona and
he said he might make allocations
to those states later.
Gov. Peterson said that a con
gressional appropriation of be
tween $2.(X,000 and $3,000,000
was needed to relieve the des
perate conditions in Nebraska,
Wyoming and South Dakota.
About 135 bulldozers already have
been assigned to the Nebraska
blizzard area and more from the
Fifth army were on the way. But
the new snow blockade halted the
relief work.
Congress Is mapping plans to
boost by another 53,000.000 the
current fund available for relief
in 10 western states.
The new blast of cold air and
strong winds was most severe In
the north central states. But tem
peratures were below freezing in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, South
ern Arkansas, Central Texas,
Northern New Mexico, Northern
Arizona and Southern Nevada.

Red-controlled Pelping by Acting
President Li Tsung-Jen's special
representative. Commenting on
the demand, an informed Chi
nese source observed:
"LI Tsung-Jen may find some
way out, but we Chinese cannot
imagine what It will be."
No Peace Seen
This source added that the de
mand places Li "in an Impossible
position and ostensibly means
there will be no peace."
The Communists artillery em
placements are situated so they
can shell river, rail and high
way traffic to Shanghai, China's
industrial and commercial center,
150 miles east by soul.
With the Reds hardly five miles
north of Nanking, and across the
Yangtze, this half-abandoned cap
ital all but forget that today was
China's new year usually an oc
casion for celebration.
Li's representative also tele
phoned that the Communist de
mand continued detention of Ja
panese war criminals. He said the

"national paralysis" strikes.
The first step would be for the
president to appoint an emergen
cy fact finding board. Such boards
would have authority to make re
commendations for setlement.
Under the Taft-Hartley law In
quiry boards can report only on
tne issues without suggesting any
solution.
Procedure Given
Here Is the detailed procedure
for handling national emergency
strikes as outlined in the admin
istration's bill:
When the president found that
a national emergency is threat
ened or exist In a vital Industry
which affecH the public Interest,
he would issue a proclamation
saying so.
lhe proclamation also would
call on the disputing parties to re
train Irom a strike or, II a strike
had started, to resume work "in
the public interest."
1 lie president would appoint an
emergency hoard. The board
would start immediately to Inves
tigate the dispute and try to ar
range a settlement.
25 Days to Report
The board would have a maxi
mum of 25 days after Issuance of
the proclamation to report to the
preisdentt unless the board and
the disputants agreed to take
moi"0 time.
The board's report would In
clude its findings and recommen
dations. The report would be
made public.
The bill provides that prior to
the board's report and for five
days after it has been made:
"The parties to the dispute shall
continue to or resume work and
operations under the terms and
conditions of employment which
were in effect immediately prior
to the beginning of a dispute,
unless a change therein is agreed
to by the parlies."
There is no provision In the bill
for anv step by the government
after the 30-day "cooling off" per
iodthe 25 days the board would
have to report plus the five-day
waiting period after It reports.

Standing Reserves of Corn,
Wheat, Cotton Purpose Of
Measure by Senator Thomas
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. P
A bill to establish permanent re
serves of wheat, corn and cotton
was introduced yesterday by Sen
ator Elmer Thomas (D.-Okla.).
Thomas, chairman of the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, called
it an "ever normal granary" plan.
He said it would set "a price floor
for farm products" and also pro
tect consumers against "run-away
prices."
And the stockpiles, he added,
will be available for use in case
of drought, war or other emer
gencies. The bill provides that the per
manent reserve of wheat snail
be 400,000,000 bushels; of corn,
600,000,000 bushels; and of cot
ton 4,500,00 bales.
Commodities placed In these
permanent reserves, Thomas ex
plained, would not be counted as
part of the total supply in de-
terming acreage allotments, mar
keting quotas or price support
levels.
The stockpiles would be built
up through the support program.

Commodities placed under loan
and not redeemed later would be
made part of the permanent re
serves by the secretary of agri
culture. When the stockpile of any com
modity equalled the specified goal,
the secretary would hold a
referendum among producers of
whether quotas should be pro
vided for the next year's crop.
If the growers failed to
approve production controls, sup
port prices for the commodity
could be withdrawn until such
time as the stockpile was reduced.
The bill would permit federal
loans and subsidies to develop an
adequate number of warehouses,
elevators and other storage facili
ties. Thomas' bill also provides that
the 1949 wheat and cotton crops
shall not be taken into considera
tion in fixing any future acreage
allotments.
He said the purpose is to dis
courage large plantings of both
crops since surpluses are expected.

Stirton, but had shorter legs,
