Polio and Birth Defects Branded As Cripplers Polio and birth defects. Both can be killers. Both are eripplcrs. At one time no one thlked or wrote about polio. Too horrible, too depressing. Wouldn't do any good anyhow. But then The National , Founda tion called on thb American peo ple to join in a partnership with science to eliminate this dread disease. Result: No more polio thanks to vacclfios developed through March of Dimes-financed research. Birth defects arc even more frightening than polio. At least 250,000 children are born with them each year. Thoy not only cripple the body, ttJey can also blight the mind. Isn't it about time j we took the "Top Secret" label off Ihe birth defect problem and recognized it as the national health fticnace it really is? Isn't it about tip»e we gave anguished parents more comfort than just changing the silbject when their birth dqfe& children are mentioned? %r Just as there was no need for all polio victims to become totally disabled, there is nerjr no reason to abandon all children born with birth defects to lives of Invalidism.

In a memorandum accompanying I the list, Mr. Wilkins cited as the authority for the move a resolu tion adopted at the NAACP's 55th annual convention in Washington, D. C., last June, calling upo the members and friends of the assoc iation to exercise their right Jf free choice ii» regard to products originating in Mississippi. "The Convention said Mr. Wilkins, "calls for a gen iiirt:, concerted effort in every branch to. see that (he economic protest against Mississippi - ism is widespread and effective." - The NAACP Director pointed J out that the task of doing the re search necessary to identify Miss issippi products 'Aas complicated by the fact that in many cases items manufactured in Mississippi by plants of national companies do not carry any distinguishing labels. Also, he said, sometimes. a pprt is made in Mississippi, to be assem bled elsewhere with other parts and -sold V -indication.at where the different parts were made. Nevertheless, Mr. Wilkins ad monished NAACP members to spread (he facts included oh the 11st throughout their community and to inquire about the ftailit of origin of the pfhMuCts Which might be produced in Mississippi. The NAA ,CP leader said the knowledge. that people are conceived, this will have an effect on distributors and retailers. Mr. Wilkins suggested that the NAACP units enlist the cooper ation of other organizations and churches to distribute copies of the list. "There can be no pride of own ership if it's "Made in Mississippi,'" declared Mr. Wilkins. The NAACP-eompilcd list Inclu des automobile tires, men's, wo men's and children's wearing ap-, parel, canned milk, cheese, build ing suplies and home furnishings.'
