Otherwise, they may, in some
cases, lose their rights to disab
ility payments and also their own
and their family’s rights to old-
age and survivors insurance pay
ments.
Any severely disabled person
who has worked under social se
curity for at least 5 years and has
been disabled for 6 months or
more should get in touch with the
Greenwood district office right
away. If he is between 50 and
65, he may be eligible for month
ly disability payments. If he is
under 50, he may be eligible to
protect his future right to dis
ability payments as well as the
rights of himself and his family
to old-age and survivors pay
ments
“To get social security disab
ility insurance benefits at age 50
or over, or to have your social
security record frozen,” Mr. Gun
ter said, “you must have social
security credit for at least 5
years of work in the 10 years be
fore you became disabled. At
least a; year and a half of tlfet
credit must be for work during
the 3 years just before your dis
ability began.
“In addition, you must have a
disability which, in the words of
the law, makes you unable to en
gage in any substantial gainful
activity. It must be the kind of
physical or mental condition which
will show up in a medical exam
ination or tests, and it must have
lasted for at least 6 months and
be expected to continue for a long
and indefinite time.” ,
Mr. Gunter emphasized that
any disabled person who feels that
he might qualify under these pro
visions of the Social Security
Act should get in touch with the
social security district office be
fore June 30 by letter, phone or
in person. If he is not able to do
so himself, someone else may
make the contact for him.
Funny but a man will give his
all to defend a woman against any
man but himself.

SERIOUS EVENTS IN
NATION’S CAPITAL
During the past week, we have
seen very serious events taking
place in two branches of the Fed
eral Government.
I refer to the action of tha
House of Representatives in its
passage of the so-called civil
rights bill—without a jury trial
amendment—and to the decisions
rendered by the Supreme Court in
the Communist cases.
Failure of the House of Repre
sentatives to provide in the civil
rights bill for trial by jury in
contempt cases probably will make
it more difficult for the amend
ment to be approved in the Sen
ate. Those of us who believe in
constitutional government now
face the most difficult legislative
task of our lives in trying to pre
serve what we have regarded as
guarantees in the Constitution.
OUTCOME OF BATTLE OVER
BILL UNCERTAIN
I would not attempt to predict
the outcome of the battle to pre
vent the passage of the civil
rights bill in the Senate. What I
can say is that I shall do every
thing in my power to fight against
this insidious legislation.
As to the decisions of the Su
preme Court, I want to discuss
two of them briefly.
COURT STRIKES AT COMMIT
TEE INVESTIGATIONS
In the Watkins case the Court
practically destroyed the effect
iveness of the Committees of the
Congress to fight Communism in
this country through the power of
investigation.
The Court has decreed that in
such hearings as those which
caused Alger Hiss to be sent to
jail that “no witness can be
compelled” to make disclosures on
matters which might not specifi
cally authorized in the resolution
which established the investigat
ing committee. If a witness de
cides that a question is not direct
ly pertinent to the work of the
committee, he is protected by this
decision of the Court from having
to answer the question.
Many facts about Communism
and law-breaking, which have
helped to protect this country from
Communists and outlaws, would
never have been learned in prev
ious investigations if this new de
cision of the Court had been in
effect earlier. More important, it
means that many facts we should
know about the enemies of the
people cannot be ferretted out in
the future if the Supreme Court
imposes its own restrictions on
the Congress.
REDS FREED ON FLIMSY
REASONS
Another decision handed down
by the Court caused the freeing
or retrial of 14 Communist lead
ers who had been convicted by a
California jury of advocating the
violent overthrow of the Govern
ment. The Supreme Court freed
five of the Communists and ord
ered a retrial for the other nine.
This order was issued on what I
consider to be extremely flimsy
reasons.
First, the Court said the Smith
Act does not define what is meant
by the word “organize” when it
uses it with reference to organiz
ing a group which advocates ov-
lent overthrow of the Govern
ment.
In prosecuting the case, the
District Attorney contended that
“organize” means the formation
of new cells or new units and that
the Communists were engaged in
such efforts. But the Court held
to the narrow view that “organ
ize” means original formation
such as the original creation of
the Communist Party in this
country.
Second, the Court ruled that the
District Judge failed to charge the
jury properly in that he did not
make a clear distinction between
advocating violent overthrow of
the Government as an abstract
principle and advocating it as in
the sense of taking action in that
direction.
MEASURES TO PROTECT
NATION WEAKENED
These decisions greatly narrow
the grounds on which action can
be taken to protect the Nation.
It seems that the Court is just as
determined to protect what it
says are the rights of Commun
ists as some members of the Con
gress are determined to deny the
right of trial by jury to some
citizens by passage of the civil
rights bill.
I still hope it will be possible
to save ourselves from both these
dangers. Perhaps the recent deci
sions of the Court will cause the
Congress finally to take action to
curb the power of the Court.

27th state having one or both
of these provisions. There are
27 states, to date, guaranteeing
the right of inspection of public
records, and 13 states with the
“open meeting” laws. They are
not identical laws and some of
them have specific qualifications,
but the net result has been a
gain for the people of those
states.
In almost every instance these
measures have been introduced
in the state legislatures, approv
ed and signed by the governors
mainly because of the intense
interest and support shown by
newspaper editors’ groups. In
some other states editors have
been rebuffed this year in simi
lar moves, but they should not
be discouraged.
The fight against secrecy in
local and state government is a
never-ending one and the people
in all states are entitled to these
guarantees. Sooner or later they
shall have them. As Governor
Ribicoff of Connecticut said on
signing the two bills: “F^ee
government cannot exist with
out a free press having access
to the news. The public’s busi
ness is everyone’s business.”

To My Fellow
Citizens:
In announcing my candi
dacy for the office of Mayor
of Newberry I wish to tell
yon something about my
self. Most of you know me.
I have been in Newberry for
26 years and have operated
a Radiator Repair Shop. I
am accustomed to hard
work. The people of New
berry have been good to me.
I. own my little business and
my home, no matter how
modest it may be.
I have been a member of the Newberry Fire Dept, for 15
years, the latter seven of which 1 have served as Assistant
Chief. I have nc definte platform to put before the people,
because I do not know what can be accomplished until, and
if, lam elected Mayor.
I do wish to say, h< > ' v ®Y® r * that I have received much encour
agement in my race. For this I am most grateful. Your contin
ued support also will be appreciated.
There are two things that I find the people of Newberry
want to know:
1. Why taxes continue to climb, after all the new commer
cial buildings have been erected as well as hundreds of new
homes recently around the city; and
2. What our tax money is being spent for. They want to
know why the City of Newberry does not publish quarterly
reports like the County of Newberry- Don’t we all want to
know this?
* If you honor me with this office, I assure you honest, sober,
conservative government. Vote for me and you’ll be glad
you did.
Sincerely yours.
