WASHINGTON (J T A) — T h e
United States Navy, responding to
widespread protests, has reversed
an order that the names of officers
and crewmen of ships visiting New
Orleans in February be made
available to organizations planning
segregated Mardi Gras parties.
The protests developed when it
was learned that the Navy had is-
sued a memorandum describing
discrimination against Jews, Ital-
ians and Negroes in New Orleans
as "the way things are" and de-
claring that "we have to go along
with it."
The reversal was disclosed in a
letter from Navy Secretary Paul
R. Ignatius to Rep. Jonathan B.
Bingham, Bronx Democrat, one of
those who had severely criticized
the original Navy memorandum.
Protests also had been made by
the American Jewish Congress,
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai Brith,
American Italian Committee
Against Discrimination, Rep. Wil-
liam F. Ryan, Manhattan Demo-
crat, American Jewish Committee
and Jewish Labor Committee.
Secretary Ignatius wrote to
Rep. Bingham: "There is no ex-
cuse for discrimination. In the
past, the Navy has provided
private organizations lists of
officers and men who might be
invited to private events. These
lists were provided without re-
gard to race or origin. The com-
mandant of the Eighth Naval
District, which includes New
Orleans, has been directed to
ensure that his command does
not provide prospective guest
lists to organizations which prac-
tice racial or nation-origin dis-
crimination in the issuance of
invitations."
Four Navy ships will be in New
Orleans during Mardi Gras week.
Sources said it had long been
both Navy and Defense Depart-
ment policy not to sanction official
participation of units or individuals
in segregated events. The Defense
Department permits military per-
sonnel to attend segregated events
as private individuals, if they so

Increased Social
Security Income
Is Reviewed
Sam F. Test, district manager
of the U.S. Department of Educa-
tion, Health and Welfare of the
Social Security Administration,
with offices at 18500 Grand River,
announcing the increased Social
Security payments to begin in
early March, explained:
"The effect of the new legislation
is also to increase the benefits of
all future beneficiaries a minimum
of 13 per cent. A person whose
earnings under Sociay Security had
averaged $350 a month would,
under the old law, get a benefit of
$124.20 upon retirement at 65, or
$186.30 for himself and his wife if
she was also 65 upon his retire-
ment.
"Under the new law, based on
the same average earnings of $350
a month, his retirement benefit
will be $140.40 per month, or
$210.60 for the couple—$24.30 more
a month.
"The maximum retirement bene-
fit under the old law would have
been $168 a month ($252 for a
couple) payable to a worker 29
years old in 1968 and retiring in
the year 2004, with average earn-
ings of $550 a month, or $6,600 a
year. Under the new law, this
same worker can look forward to
a monthly payment of $189.90
($284.90 for himself and his wife).
Thus for these workers who have
been earning and who will continue
to earn wages of $6,600 a year or
less, the new amendments will
mean sizable increases in their
future benefit payments—and with-
out comparable increases in the
Social Security tax contributions
they were scheduled to pay under
the old law."
