OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 1960 HARD WA RET sistant pastor. King, the Negro 'leader of the 1955 Montgomery boycott, is not only a discontented man but one of the most contro versial figures in the current southern racial upheaval. Rightly or wrongly, the young clergyman gets blamed for a lot that's going on - cur rently the wave of lunch counter sitdowns through which Negroes are combatting segregated eating facilities. "I had nothing to do with this phase," King says. "It started with four students in Greensboro, N.C., on the basis of their convictions. And the idea just caught fire. It's something you can't explain rationally." Attack on Custom Unlike the battle by Ne groes to break segregation barriers in schools, the lunch counter revolution has been an attack on custom rather than law, .. . .. The new 1 racial pressures have produced new tensions throughout the region. There have been more than 500 arrests in six states and a number of convictions, but only on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with the normal operation of busi ness. Georgia has a quickly enacted new law allowing a proprietor to order anyone off private premises. In Houston, Tex., a Negro was strung up by his heels and carved with the triple K of the Ku Klux Klan by a roving band of white men, ap parently to express their dis pleasure over lunch counter demonstrations in Houston. At Columbia, S.C., Negroes armed with clubs damaged cars at a driye-in restaurant for white patrons.

Others are Louisiana, Alabama, Mis sissippi and South Carolina. Sentiment is sharply divid ed on what to do about a school desegregation court order affecting Atlanta. The state administration re Persons Covered by Social Security Should Check for Proper Credit Persons in employment or self-employment covered by social security should make certain that they receive credit for earnings, Edward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Medford social security office, has advised. '.. . The "amount "of benefits which may become payable to the person and his depend ents or survivors are figured from the average earnings credited to the social security account. To become eligible for any benefits, a person must have been in work cov ered by social security for a certain length of time. If earnings are not correct ly reported, benefit payments to the person and his family may be reduced; if the work under social security is not reported, the person will not get credit for years which he may need to be insured at time of retirement or in case of disability or death. Years of Earnings Jacobson said that most people now reaching age '69 need to have at least 4Vfe years of earnings on their social security account. People reaching 65 later will need even more credits. A man born in 1906 or later or a woman born in 1909 or later will need 10 years of social security credit. For disability benefit payments (age 50 through 64) at least 5 years Passenger Traffic At Airport Down Passenger traffic at the Medford airport dropped near ly 1,200 persons last month from the total of a year ago, .according to the airport man ager s monthly report. Some 4.J17 passengers were counted at the airport during February, which is slightly above January's total of 4,242, but below February, 1959's total of 5,551. However, the total number of airplane landings and take offs last month, 4,039, is well above January's 2,986, and February, 1959's, number of 3,750. The majority of the flights were civil, 3,208 the next greatest number being air carriers, 789. Air freight during Febru ary totaled 14,074 pounds, slightly up from January, but below that of a year ago, when 35,658 pounds were recorded. Express was also down with 2,694 pounds recorded last month compared to 3,296 a year ago. Airport revenue last month totaled $3,814.

A number of organized groups and individuals in the legislature are urging a change in the state's rigid racial position so as to give local communities the final vote on whether to accept de segregation or close schools and turn to private education. of social security credit is needed, he said. An employed person should make sure his employer re ports his wages correctly. If he works for himself he should report his net earn ings when he files his income tax return and pay the social security tax on those earnings every year, Jacobson said. Failure to make a yearly re port can result in interest charges on unpaid social se curity taxes. Failure to re port can result in elimina ting social security insurance protection altogether. The law says that earnings must be re ported within three years, 3 months and 15 days after the taxable year in which they were earned. As an example, a self-employed person who failed to report his 1955 earn ings by April 15, 1959, can never get social security credit for that year.
