President Names C. F. Haynsworth to U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. Troops Clash Tw with Enemy
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP)
— President Nixon named federal Judge Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. of Greenville, S.C., to the Supreme Court of the United!
States Monday, calling him “an eminently qualified jurist, scholar and intellect.”
Haynsworth, a 56-year-old Democrat from five generations of distinguished South Carolina lawyers, considers himself a middle-of-the-road jurist rather than a liberal or a conservative.

Reported Light
Probably no one is more aware of the difference between Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Betsy than Avondale Shipyard personnel.
During Betsy in 1965, Avondale had five ships beached by the high winds, and two $12 million ships under construction were sunk in the Mississippi River between Kenner and the main shipyard.
During Camille, however, the only damage was a small redwood fence which was blown over Sunday night, an Avondale spokesman said.
Not
just an occasional large tree, but acres of pine trees were broken and lying on the ground.
Some of the houses were damaged badly at Oak Harbor, which was on the fringe of the hurricane.
As we (another passenger and the pilot) flew over Clermont Harbor subdivision near Waveland, we were stunned by what we saw.
There was no way to describe what was beneath us: not one single building was left standing for as far back as 1,500 feet from the beach.
We flew along the beach from Clermont Harbor to Ocean Springs.
