I Congolese National Army Film
Ideological Training Free World
Caux, Switzerland, aeptemner
25, 1962 — The first Congolese
National Army film to give
both military and ideological
training to its troops was shown
today at the Moral Re-Arma
ment World Assembly here. The
film, introduced by General Mo
butu, is a documentary that
shows the Army being trained
in MRA.
Entitled “You Can Count On
Us.” the film was made in Leo
poldville by MRA in associa
tion with the Congolese Army.
It features the officers and men
of the Army's crack regiment,
the First Paracommando Bat
talion. It was presented to the
Assembly by the Battalion's
Commander, Major Tshatshi,
who is attending the Caux As
sembly by order of his Com
mander-in-Chief, General Mo
butu.
The film deals with the train
ing and discipline ox the Army,
and the problem of subversion
of the troops by agents using
women, drink, drugs and money.
It shows how the Army can
answer this corruption and
bring unity and stability to the
country.
Major Tshatshi said that af
ter he visited Caux last year
he and his men had made this
film “to train soldiers in the
right ideas and to show the
leaders of our country how to
unite." The delegation last year
included Madame Kasavub:i,
wife of the President of the
Congo.
“Men of MRA,” said Tshat
shi, “gave us the idea that will
save the Congo. The world can
not be saved without the ideol
ogy of MRA. It will give us
victory, and because we have de
cided to live it, you can count
on us."
Information On
Social Security
One of the most frequently
asked questions at the Jackson
social security office is how
much can a person earn and
still receive retirement bene
fits.
John F. Pate, social security
district manager, reported that
the question is asked several
times a day. Although most
workers know that their social
security benefits will not be af
fected if they earn less than
$1200 a year, many do not know
that they may be eligible to re
ceive some benefits even when
their earnings exceed that a
mount. The 1961 amendments
to the law encourage people over
65 to supplement their social se
curity benefits by working.
Mr. Pate said that if you earn
over $1200, $1 of your benefits
(or your total family benefits)
is withheld for each $2 of your
earnings above $1200 and up to
$1700. For ever $1 earned a
bove 1700, $1 of benefits is
withheld.
In a recent case, a 68-year
old lady, who had been earning
120 a month, filed a claim for
social security benefits. Her
monthly benefit rate was $67
per month, and she had no de
pendents who were entitled to
additional benefits based on her
earnings. She is still working
and expects to earn $1440 in
1962. Since she will earn only
$240 over the $1200 figure, only
$120 will be deducted from her
benefits, and she will receive i
$684 from social security in i
1962.
Mr. Pate cited another case |

in which a man and his wife
were eligible for social security
benefits of 153 a month, or
$1836 per year. The man earned
$2900 in 1961, so $250 of his
benefits was withheld for the
first $1700 earned and 1200 for
the balance of the $2900 earned.
He and his wife still received
$386 in social security benefits
for 1961.
Each case is different. The
wise thing for the worker over
65 to do is to check with his
social security office, and elimi
nate any possibility of losing
benefits. “Don't dely—check to
day." The social security office
is located at 502 North Street
in Jackson. The telephone num
ber is 354-5474.

officers for the troubled areas.
In a survey of what was need
ed or what would be accepted to
effect integration, the Potomac
Institute found that the South
ern school administrators ques
tioned, 88 per cent agreed a
central bank of information
should be set up; 56 wanted
on-the-spot consultants who had
dealt with the problem previous
ly, and 59 percent hoped for re
gional desegregation confer
ences.
This survey, The Newsletter
says, prompted the Office of
- Education’s decision to aid al
ready existing organizations of
integration experts.
The biggest problem facing
legitimate consultants, accord
ing to The Newsletter, is a citi
zenry riled by outsider advice.
Some administrators feel they
can’t ask for help, even litera

tion.

Okla. NAACP..

for libel in a suit filed against
the former Oklahoma City
branch manager of the NAACP.
Held guilty of libel was Dr.
E. C. Moon, Jr., dentist, who
is now state president of the
NAACP. The action was
brought against Dr. Moon by
D. D. Pierce .Oklahoma City police
man. after the slaying of Albert E
Scott .a Negro, in the front yard
of his home on Feb. 14, i960
x,?™ar charges against two other
NAACP officials, Earl Temple lo
cal mortician, and W. E. McMur
ray, who was chairman of the N. A
A. C. P. executive executive board
at the time of the incident, were
dismissed by District Judge E R
Wallace. The NAACP was not
named In the adtion.
Hall and Porter contended that
the plaintiff failed to show evi
dence that Temple and McMurray
hand-signed the letter thpmselves
A $100,000 libel suit, lodged against
the Black Dispatch Publishing
company in the same case, was al
so dismissed by Judge Wallace after
he sustained a demurrer of de
fense attorneys Amos T. Hall ol
F. Melvin Porter. The
Black Dispatch Publishing company
publishes the Black Dispatch, a
nctKiy newspaper.
Pierce .a police scout car officer
at the time of the fatal shooting
had gone to the Scott home tc
question Scott about a hit and run
accident. Pierce claimed self-defense
in the shooting and was exonerated
by former Police Chief Roy Berg
man in 1960.
The suit grew out of a letter sign
ed by Moon which was written to
Bergman in 1960, following the fatal
shooting. In the letter Moon labeled
the shooting of Scott a “revolting
which the officer
termed Justifiable homicide.” The
aiso xeieired to the act as
a “lynching.” The Black Dispatch
subsequently carried a reprint ol
the letter.
Pierce filed the libel suit against
the NAACP officials and the Black
Dispatch, after he was exonerated
by the county attorney’s office fol
lowing an investigation.
In last week's action. Moon ad
mitted from the witness stand thai
he wrote the letter and includec
the names of two other officers o]
the NAACP, but he said the othei
officers did not authorize the u.s(
of their names.
Mrs. Scott claimed someoni
broke into the house and took tht
pistol after the shooting.
