EST ADVOCATED L 2 , a 4 5 RAISE FOR 4,725,000 Some 4,725,000 persons now receiving Old Age and Survivors’ insurance checks under Social Security, will re- ceive hikes in payments, beginning October 3, the Federal Security Agency has announced. Total monthly Social Se- curity payments will rise from $168,400,000 to $190,500,- 000, it was said, ; This increase represents 18 percent increase to re- tired workers and their families and to dependent survi- vors of workers. Persons now getting monthly benefit pay- ments need take no action to get the increase, since the increase is automatically provided by a new law passed \n the recent session of Congress, Republicans have charged that the Administration iimed the Social Security increases to coincide with. the election this year and the Democrats have retorted that the raises were provided by Congress and did not repre- sent a political effort, Whichever is true, the fact that 4,725,000 persons receiving Federal old age and survivors’ insurance checks are getting increases on the eve of the election might have some effect. The $22,000,000 to be added to the monthly payment is likewise certain to be felt in the business world. The economic effects, however, will not be realiz- ed in time to exert any influence on the November 4th election. : : FOREIGN STUDENTS iN AMERICA There. are now more than 30,000 foreign students being trained in this country, This information that there is a record high in the number of students from other lands being educated in the United States comes from a report by the Institute of Foreign Education. While there are foreign students in every state in the nation, the highest concentrations are found in California | and New York. Apparently, the most popular American schools are the University of California, Columbia Univer- sity, and New York University, each of which has over 1,000 students from foreign lands in the student body. - About one-third of the foreign students are women and the chief field of study for our foreign friends is en- gineering. To be more specific, South Asians and Near Easterners are apparently attracted to our engineering schools, while most European students are interested in studying social sciences and the liberal arts. Not only do students studying in America spend about $75,000,000 in this country a year, but we are also benefitted in that they get an opportunity to see and know America, which in the end promotes the objective of peace and understanding.

W: Mathu, leader of African members in the Kenya colony leg- jislative council, as arrests in the government’s drive against the se- cret anti-white Mau Mau Society — reached 101. { There was no immediate indica- tion of what connection, if any, Mathu’s disappearance had with the crackdown on the fanatic soci- ety that has been campaigning with fire and murder to drive the white man from this British East African colony. Police said Mathu was seen in Nairobi Tuesday and later sént a message that he would not attend a scheduled council meeting. The 101 natives rounded up 4s suspected Mau Mau members face t questioning about the. murder of 43! natives, the slaughter of many he: of white men’s cattle and wide- spread burning of buildings: and. crops throughout ‘the colony in re- cent months. The government launched its ! drive Tuesday with the support of a battalion of British troops flown in from bases in other parts of Africa. Among the first suspects arrested was Jomo “Burning Spear” Kenyatta, bearded presi- dent of the Kenya African Union. Police claim he is the real leader of the Mau Mau. | OLD DEBT PAID |.

Signature the writer letters and “THIS MAN LEWIS” Editor,, The Citizen: The local radio announcer says, “Fulton Lewis, Jr., and his night- ly analysis of the news.” That is not so. Instead, it is Fulton Lewis, Jr., and his nightly analysis of his hatred of the Democratic par- ty. Four years ago, this man Lewis attacked Truman and praised Dew- ey up to the night before Election Day. Oh, how jubilant was this man Lewis! He felt sure the Re- publicians were going to win, and, oh, how he exulted! I heard this man Lewis the night after the elec- tion, and his attempt to chortle away his disappointment over Dew- ey’s defeat reminded me of how Lord Haw Haw used to chortle over the Berlin radio while he abused the Allies, At that time F heard Key West- ers say Lord Haw Haw was the bitterest and most cantankerous speaker they had ever heard, this man Lewis in his nightly at- tempts to grow devil tails on Dem- ocrats and angel wings on Repub- licans is the bitterest and most cantankerous I have ever heard. If this man Lewis has a sense of humor, I have been unable to detect it, though, little more than a week ago, he pitiably tried to be funny about John Sparkman, the Democratic vice presidential candidate. As Key Westers know, Sparkman voluntarily made public his income- tax returns for eight years. Nixon, who has not given an itemization of that $18,000 “expense” account he got from California “friends,” who has not told where he got the $31,000 he paid on his Wash- ington and California homes, re- fuses to make public his income- tax statements. Former Postmas- other prominent Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, have called on Nixon to give an ac- counting, as Stevenson, Eisenhow- er and Sparkman have done, but Nixon still stubbornly refuses. And the longer he refuses the bigger becomes the WHY? in the public’s mind over his refusal. That is a true picture of Nixon and Sparkman, but how does this man Lewis view that picture? He lands Nixon as an able and a cou- rageous man and, unable to find anything to attack in Sparkman’s character, tries to be funny about him. This man Lewis, one night last week, after burying Nixon in bou- quets, chortled, “But where is Sparkman? Nobody knows where he is. He's lost---I tell you he’s lost!” and he chortled again, and again reminded me of Lord Haw Haw’s chortling.’ . Twice that day, at noon and |6 o'clock, I heard over WGBS that ; Sparkman was campaigning in ter General James A. Farley and | ee ee a THIS ROCK BILL It is interesting to note that es- timates for the repair of Clyde Mallory Dock now run as high as $100,000, Readers will recall these estimates ran around 20 to 30 thou- sand dollars before the dock pur- chase and while public opinion was still being sought in support of the deal. Readers will also remember that “This Rock of Ours” said: at the time that the dock was in bad shape and couldn’t be repaired for the amount being mentioned. Acquisition of the property was a good move though the purchase price. was entirely out of line with the City’s ability to pay. That is water over the dam however. If the ferries to Cuba become a reali- ty, the dock might liquidate itself during the years to come. Principle irritation stems from the fact that if the dock is going to cost $100,000 to repair now, the required work must have been known at the time of the purchase the docks thoroughly, they certain- ly could have used their influence to get the rest of the commission ers to hire an engineering firm to OF OURS mending Bernie Papy as an ad- visor for the City.
