House strides to avoid Powell back pay trial
House leaders seek to deter Adam Clayton Powell from pressing a $55,000 back pay claim by offering no partial payment. A court ruling on whether Powell can be paid hinges on lower court action after the Supreme Court ruled he was illegally excluded. Powell did not attend talks, signaling potential lawyers’ involvement. A retaliatory move to deduct funds from his pay may follow if he fights.
