Haynsworth was ready to defend himself against all charges. He said that he agreed with Supreme Court rulings outlawing separate but equal education and upholding the right of indigent defendants to counsel. But he declined to go into detail on these issues on the grounds that his comments could hinder him if he should actually sit on such cases. He did, however, rebut the conflict-of-interest charge vehemently. Stuttering slightly, he not only denied any impropriety, but also held that since his company was not directly involved, he in fact had an obligation not to disqualify himself from...
...coalition charged intimidation of the black community by the "White Hats," a 600-member vigilante outfit formed and deputized during the 1967 disturbances. It also presented city officials with a list of seven demands, including appointment of a black police chief and assistant fire chief and a near equal black-white ratio in all city jobs.

The protesters' ultimate aim is to rouse enough public and political pressure to compel all unions to give blacks equal access to skilled, well-paid jobs. In Buffalo and Chicago, the N.A.A.C.P. this month filed the first of a threatened series of federal lawsuits to block publicly financed construction until unions, contractors and the Government comply with equal-opportunity laws. Until that happens, warns N.A.A.C.P. Labor Director Hill, "there will...
...implication of this policy is supposed to be that although the Defense Department is sponsoring the research, the research remains apolitical or non- partisan because everyone will have equal access to it. But there is serious doubt as to whether this "equal access" is any more than a meaningless formula. Havward Alker, a professor of political science at M. I. T. who participated in the initial drafting of the Cambridge Project proposal, noted this week that although the Project is directed towards "methodological" research rather than towards applied research specific to the Defense Department, the fact remains that only organizations...
