The nation’s oldest and prob
ably most widely known civil
rights organization, the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, caus
tically denounced Nixon’s
choice.
Hayasworth’s nomination is
nothing but “another political
payoff to the racist senator
from South Carolina...and I’m
referring to Sen. Strom Thur
mond,’’ exclaimed Atlanta
NAACP representative Morris
Dillard.
“Judge Haynsworth’s record
indicates that he is a reaction
ary, that he is anti-black, that
he Is anti - labor,” Dillard re
torted and then vowed," we’ll
fight the appointment, both lo
cally and nationally.”

FTC Overules
Textile Objections
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
Federal Trade Commission has
overruled the objections of the
textile industry in reaffirming
the FTC’s policy of investigat
ing mergers involving textie
firms.
The commission voted 3 to 2
to give high priority to investi
gations of mergers by textile
firms with SIOO mlllon or more
in assets or by nontextile firms
with sales or assets In exces
of $230 million and a substan
tial market position in another
industry.
The commission said the poli
cy could affect only one-half of
one per cent of the firms in the
industry and only five firms
would feel any impact.
FTC Chairman Mary Gardi-
ftentwkij fried
“READY WHEN YOU ARE"
ership Conference was less bit
ter but just as critical.
The President’s nomination
“means we are trying to take
the nation back to legal con
struction which emerged at a
time when our nation had a to
tal population of less than 4
million and represented only
one ethnic group,” said The
Rev. Andrew Young, SCLC's
executive vice president.
“We should be broadening the
base of our Constitution to in
clude protection and opportuni
ty for the many racial and eth
nic groupings which have done
so much to make America
great,” Young added.
Summing up his comments,
Young said “at a time when
our laws need reconstruction.
President Nixon seems to favor
so-called constructionists.”
ner Jones, who dissented, said
the five most affected firms
would be the ones most likely
to have the greatest impact
upon competition in “their hand
to hand combat” with Burling
ton Industries of Greensboro,
N. C.
Burlington was the nation’s
52nd largest industrial corpora
tion last year with safes of $1.6
billion. Its closest rival in the
textile industry was J. P. Stev
ens of New York, the 106th
ranked industry with 1968 sales
of $963.1 million.
The other four industry lead
ers—lndian Head of New York;
West Point-Pepperell of West
Point, Ga.; Cannon Mills of
Kannapolis, N. C.; and Dan
River Mills of Danville, Va. —
are much farther down the
scale.
The commission said it reaf
firmed the policy because of
critical .recent developments in
the textile industry.

Cotton-Lined Gloves
Relieve 'Dishpan Hands'
B y WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
Q—ln my work, my hands
are constantly in and out of
hot soapy water. Now my
fingers are splitting and
peeling. Can this be pre
vented?
A— This condition, some
times called dishpan hands,
is often kept going indefinite
ly by overtreatment with
strong disinfectants or anti
biotic ointments. If you must
put your hands in water con
taining a soap or detergent,
you should wear rubber
gloves that are lined with
cotton. Remove the gloves as
soon as you are through and
put them where the inside
lining can dry out. They
should be replaced with new
ones at frequent intervals.
Q—My doctor says I have
carpal tunnel syndrome in
both hands .-'What does this
mean? Would an operation
cure it?
A—This is a burning dis
tress in the thumb, index,
middle and half of the ring
finger plus the correspond
ing two-thirds of the palm.
Later there may be weak
ness in this area. It may be
caused by anything that
presses on the median nerve
as it passes through the tun
nel formed by the muscles
and ligaments of the wrist.
It may be associated with
arthritis but, in many cases,
the underlying cause cannot
be found.
If treatment is sought
early enough, an injection of

hydrocortisone repeated
weekly for several weeks
may cure it. If it is chronic
and growing progressively
worse, the pressure on the
nerve should be relieved by
a surgical operation.
Q—-My doctor says I have
trigger finger. He gave me
two injections of hydrocorti
sone and said that, if this
doesn’t help, he may have to
operate. What causes this
condition and what is the
best treatment?
A—The cause is a thicken
ing of one of the tendons of
a finger or a narrowing of
the tendon sheath. In this
condition, closing the fist
causes a snapping sound. In
most cases, relief is ob
tained by an operation to in
crease the size of the tendon
sheath.
Q —What harm may result
from a woman eating about
a teaspoonful of sand a day.
Will her system eliminate it?
A—There will be no harm
from this if the sand is clean.
It will not be digested and
will be eliminated without
any trouble. It may be, how
ever, that her system lacks
iron.

US Says North Viet
Guilty Os Unconcern
By JOHN F. SIMS
PARIS (UPI)—A U.S. Official
at the Vietnam talks said today
North Vietnam was guilty of
"cruel unconcern” toward hun
dreds of families by refusing
information about its American
prisoners of war.
The official, a member of the
U.S. negotiating team who
asked not to be identified, said
the United States has made
repeated approaches to North
Vietnam on the subject to no
avail.
According to U.S. officials,
the United States has the
names of some 1,350 American
servicemen listed as killed or
missing in action in Vietnam
but that only about 340—most
of them pilots—were known to
be prisoners of the Commu
nists.
The negotiating team official
said the North Vietnamese
“will not even give us a list of

prisoners that are being held,
thereby showing cruel uncon
cern to hundreds of wives and
families.”
However, since the last U.S.
appeal to the Communists,
which was ignored, more
information about the plight of
U.S. prisoners in North Viet
nam has come to light.
Three servicemen returned to
the United States two weeks
ago from captivity in Hanoi and
filled some of the gaps in U.S.
knowledge of what is happening
in North Vietnamese prison
camps.
But it fell far short of giving
a full picture.
The U.S. official said the
Communist attitude was one of
“gratuitous cruelty,” especially
since the information “cannot
have any effect on the war.”
He suggested Hanoi felt it
was "exerting some sort of
pressure on us and our people

condition.” He added, “but
that’s absurd if you know the
United States.”
The U.S. delegation at the
deadlocked talks constantly
keeps the prisoner question in
the forefront but to no avail,
the official said.
“It’s a very bad situation,”
he said. “We are constantly
complaining about it, but they
just won’t budge.”
