Powell seeks restoration of salary and seniority in court
Rep Adam Clayton Powell asks a federal judge to restore about $35,000 in salary and 24 years of seniority lost after being denied his seat for two years. He also seeks overturning a $25,000 fine and challenges the House position on post election status and back pay. The Supreme Court previously ruled the House wrongfully denied his seat. Powell was reelected but the House withholds part of his pay toward the fine.
