LABOR Struggle in Dixie Hymning the gospel of unionism with tent-revival fervor, 900 millworkers in Henderson, N.C. (pop. 14,500) last week observed the first anniversary of their strike against the Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills with hand-clapping choruses of Onward, Christian Soldiers and Solidarity Forever. Carrying U.S. and Confederate flags, joined by hundreds of gift-bearing sympathizers, members of Locals 578 and 584, Textile Workers Union of America, jammed Henderson's National Guard armory, raised the rafters with well-tuned pentecostal voices and stood reverently as Mrs. Nannie Hughes, a millworker for 45 years, besought the Almighty...
MOROCCO The Malady of Meknes Cripples, many of them children, stretched helpless legs last week in the bazaars of Meknes (pop. 200,000). In the city's 4O0-bed hospital, some 650 more Moroccans, with symptoms ranging from muscular atrophy of hands and feet to complete paralysis, lay crammed together in crowded quarters.

His dismissal was scarcely an adequate answer to his argument, but answers did come from all sides. No one maintained that TV or the pop music business had a monopoly on shady practices; as the Christian Century pointed out, neither the press nor other media could afford to feel complacent...
Doll or Trust? With virtually every other pop music figure holding pieces of music-publishing firms, why did ABC take action against Clark? Obviously, to avoid the charge that Clark was "riding" or "hyping" songs published and recorded by his firms on the Bandstand program. Although Bandstand played some of Clark's own tunes that became hits (Tallahassie Lassie, Okefenokee), he and Mammarella insist that they were played only because they were popular already. But Clark has also spun his Way Down Yonder in New Orleans, which is just now beginning to climb into the big time. Clark insists...
