Powell Stands Good
Chance Os Seating
WASHINGTON (UPD— With
the House’s case against him
dismissed by a federal grand
jury, Adam Clayton Powell
stands a good chance of taking
his seat In the next Congress
with only minor opposition.
A three sentence Justice
Department announcement late
Monday said the grand jury
Investigation of Powell’s alleged
mishandling of $42,000 in
congressional funds had ended
without an Indictment when it
was ‘‘concluded that available
evidence did not warrant
prosecution.”
‘‘The Department of Justice
did not recommend an indict
ment,” the statement said,
“and none was returned.”
The allegations, drawn up by
a House committee that Investi
gated Powell's financial affairs,
formed the core of the charges
on which the House voted
March 1, 1967, to deny him his
seat in the 90th Congress.
The investigating committee,
headed by Judiciary Committee
Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-
N.Y., had charged Powell used
public funds for personal travel,
falsely certified transportation
vouchers, filed false reports on
the amount of U.S.-held foreign
currency he spent while travel
ing abroad, and had “wrongful
ly and willfully” appropriated
public funds by permitting his
wife to draw a salary on his
payroll without performing offi
cial duties.
Informed of the grand jury
action, Celler said: “I personal
ly feel that Powell should be
permitted to take the oath. One
of the reasons why he was
ousted was that he failed to
make good certain alleged
misappropriations of $42,000 as
chairman of the House Educa
tion and Labor Committee.
“But apparently that charge
has fallen so there’s no
substantial charge against
him.”
Noting that Powell was twice
re-elected by his constituency
after denial of his seat—ln
April, 1967, and again last
month—Celler said ‘‘the views
of the constituents, while not
paramount, are highly impor
tant and I think must be
seriously considered by Con
gress. He should be admitted.”
Rep. H.R. Gross, R-lowa, said
however that the grand jury
action "certainly” did not
change his opposition to
Powell’s being seated next
month.
BUSMAN’S HOLIDAY
MEXICO CITY (UPD—Rey
naldo Pacheco and Jose Rodri
guez, jailed for stealing a bus
from its terminal, told police
they just wanted “something to
pawn so we could buy a drink.”
Police observed they ap
parently already had enough to
drink, since the bus was filled
with passengers when they
began driving it off to the
pawnshop. The owner of the
busline saw the theft and
caught up with them.
