Pendleton Defends Reagj
NEW YORK -- The Reagan administration was both h
criticized and defended during a recent television face-off p
on WNBC's "Positively Black" as Benjamin Hooks, ex- tl
ecutive director of the NAACP, clashed with Clarence
Pendleton, Reagan's chairman-designate of the U.S. h
Civil Rights Commission. n
Hooks charged that the president had wanted to fire n
three members^Qjf the commission "because he did not a
like their policies" and that the running dispute that
followed had "severely damaged" the commission. c<
"I don't sense that at all," said Pendleton, who" is "
black. "Even before I was appointed or nominated, the d
president said that he wanted to change the make-up of I
the entire commission."
Formed in 1957 as a bi-partisan, temporary research p
organization, the commission became the object

- Suit Charges TWA Wit!
NEW YORK -- The NAACP, in conjunction with the r
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), c
recently filed a suit in Los Angeles District Court against I
TrSnT W,orld Airlines in an effort to block TWA froip
terminating its skycap positions.The NAACP sought an <
emergency order after negotiations with the airline broke i
down. c
"A skycap is the airline equivalent of the railroad 1

Can you make instant coffee'with your hot tap water? 1
If you dan, and the granules.^ coffee totally dissolve,
your hot water tank is set tod high and you're courting a
painful scald. ?
There's no good reason to set home water heaters
above 130 degrees F. Let's analyze some of the bad \
reasons:
"My dishwasher needs 160 degrees water and my
washing machine needs 140 degrees." Wrong! E^rly
detergents required . water temperatures this high and
some appliance manufacturers still call for high
temperatures in their instruction manuals. But today's
dishwasher detergents will function beautifully at T20
degrees - and there are laundry detergents that work best
in cold water.
"One hundred twenty-degree water won't kill germs
like my 160-degree water." Wrong again. Even water at
180 degrees won't kijl many common household germs.
To sterilize something, you need temperatures above the
boiling point - and who washes dishes with steam? No,
you won't kill germs when you wash if you turn down

The previous commission's term expired at the end of
Jovember, and, following a compromise between the adlinistration
and Congress, it was agreed that the comlission
would be reconstituted with eight members, four
ppointed by the president and four by Congress.
Asked if it was necessary to take J^eagan's views into
onsideration as a commission member, Pendleton said,
I have never had any marching orders from the presient.

Hooks responded: "1 think every president appoints

etirement age from 50 to 55, which would have disqualified
many skycaps from receiving retirement
jenefits.
The suit grew out of complaints to NAACP General
Counsel Thomas 1. Atkins by the skycaps, who had been
nformed that TWA would eliminate their positions to
rut operating costs. All but one of the 200 positions are
ield by blacks.
"Thousands of jot^s are involved here, not just with
rWA, but with all other airlines," said Atkins. "The
arger issue, in addition to the 200 TWA jobs, is the hope
:hat other airlines with far more skycap employees would
be dissuaded from attempting to follow TWA's example
if the NAACP is successful in blocking TWA's actions."
e It Too Hot
your hot water tank. But you're not killing germs now,
cither.
\One hundred twenty to 130-degree watef is hot enough
for laundry and dishes ? just right for baths and showers.
Here's why: Higher temperatures can scald human skin
faster than you might imagine. One hundred forty-degree
water can scald in four to five seconds.
At 160 degrees, water will scald in only two seconds
and will produce a third-degree burn with irreparable
tissue damage in about 30 seconds.
How do you turn down water temperature? If you have
a gas water heater, simply turn the outside thermostat
dial to about 125 degrees. Some electric heaters have external
controls, too.
If yours doesn't, here's what to do:
To avoid electric shock, turn off the power to the
heater. Most heaters are on their own fuse or circuit
breaker. Then locate and remove the small access covers
on the skin of the heater - yours may have one or two,
depending on the number of heating elements.
When the access cover is removed, you will see an unbroken
sheet of insulation. Peel for a small screw through
the insulation; this is the thermostat adjustment screw. "
