PRES. PLANS TO
EXTEND SOCIAL

WASHINGTON’ SpccifT:- rocom

extend Soci.il Security protection
to hundreds of ’thousands of Ne
groes rot now covered by the
legislation were promised by Presi
dent Truman in a t,dement on the
tenth anniversary of the Social
Security Act, August 14.
• # #
EXTOLLING the progress made
under the legislation, by which
40.0(H).000 workers are insured for
old-ace annuities and monthly
benefits to their wives and de
pendents and by which 36.000 000
workers are provided against wage
loss due to involuntary unemploy
ment. President Truman said:
"But while we have made prog
ress we still have a long way to
go before we ran truthfully «?ay
that our social security system
furnished the people of this coun
try adequate protection. Therefore
we should lose no time in making
our social security act a more
perfect instrument for the main
tenance of economic security
throughout the country.
‘*l expect to present to the
Congress specific recommenda
tions looking toward this ob
jective.
• • • **
"A SOI’ND SYSTEM of social
security requires careful considera
tion and preparation. Social se
curity worthy of the name is not
a dole or a device for giving every
body something for nothin''. True
social security must consist of
rights which ave earned rights—
guaranteed by the law of the land
Only that kind of social security
is worthy of the men and women
who have fought and are now fight
ing to preserve the heritage and
the future ot America.’*
Although more Negro workers
are covered by the Social Security
Act now than at any time in his
tory -due largely to their record
war plant employment—a large
number of Negro workers are in
cluded in the 12 to 15 million per
sons not protected by the act. Those
people arc employed mainly on
f mn.«. domestic service, non-profit
institutions, maritime service and
government.

The UAW-CIO contends that
such a system would wreck the
entire seniority machinery, and
suggests instead that veterans
work in the plants for a proba
tionary period. •
• • •
THE HAW meanwhile is still
pressing its case against the Un
employment Compensation office,
on the grounds that it is using its
powers to force workers to take
jobs at lower wages.
Informed sources in the nation's
capital say that the present effort
of the several states to take back
the unemployment offices, may
presto additional problems to mi
nority groups, and particularly
Negroes.
• • •
THESE SOURCES say that signs
are appearing that this "cushion’'
for unemployment which is bound
to‘develop during the changeover
from war production to peactime
activity is being used as a ham
mer over the heads of some groups
rather than as a benefit to them.
The CIO has recently protested
the alleged practices of UCC offices
in forcing discharged Negro work
ers from the army and navy war
contracts to accept lower paying
menial tasks.
