Childs, Clinton Negro, pro prietor of Childs Funeral Home of this city, has submitted to The Chronicle for publication a let ter from Sheriff C. W. Wier of Laurens County, referrnig to a lie deioetor—test--takw -by- ClvikL in an effort to refute certain rumors that have been circulated in this area among the Negro population linking Childs with the disappear ance of one Bill Anderson some months ago* Stories appeared in newspapers several weeks ago pertaining to the mysterious disappearance of Anderson, Negro of the Mount ville section, about a year ago. He has not been seen in the commu nity'' where he lived since that time and no explanation has been advanced for his disappearance. The newspaper stories were in reference to the reported finding of several articles of clothing said to belong to the missing man. Following, is the letter to Childs from Sheriff Wier: “During my investigation on the disappearance of Bill Anderson, I found a number of rumors among the colored papulation that you had disposed of the body of Bill Anderson. “After talking to you about these rumors you volunteered to take a lie detector test. This test was given to you on May 27, 1957. at the South Carolina Law En forcement Division at Columbia, S. C. The result of this t*st was as -follows. I quote: 'It is.the opinion oi the examiner ^at this subject has no guilty knowledge about the disappearance of Bill Anderson. Submitted by J. Frank Faulk of the S. C.

Disabled Workers Urged To File For Security Benefits June 30 is an important date for disabled people, Miss Martha Pressly, district manager of the Greenwood distract office of the Social Security Administration, reminded today. Miss Pressly stated that the June 30 date this year has par ticular significance for an esti mated 700,000 disabled workers in this country. These are dis abled people who have worked long enough under social security to be eligible to have their rights to future benefits for themselves and their families protected—of this 700,000 about 400,000 people rrtho?? between 50 and 65 years of age—are eligible for monthly disability insurance benefits be ginning with July. Many of those eligible have not yet ap plied. "The aim of the over 500 dis trict offices of the Social Security Administration at this time is to get in touch with these disabled people prior to the deadline date of ^une 30 and assist them in fil ing applications,” Miss Pressly stated. Anyone who is now disabled for work and has not worked since September, 1954, will lose his disability rights under the social security law if he does not apply by June 30. If a disabled worker does not make his appli cation until July or later, his future benefits may be substan tially reduced or lost and he may not be eligible for the monthly disability insurance benefits pay able to disabled workers 50 to 65 years of age. * Disabled workers who believe they are eligible should get in touch with their social security district offices now to protect their rights.
