Federal Grand Jury Dropped Powell Case Still Faces Seat Challenge
A federal grand jury investigating Adam Clayton Powell was allowed to expire without indicting him on misusing about $4,000 in funds. Congress foe Rep H R Gross vows to oppose Powell’s seating, while Powell contends he would return as a freshman if re elected. The Supreme Court agreed to hear his challenge to the House seating, with potential constitutional implications. Powell faces a pending 1960s contempt conviction, fines, and restitution payments related to other allegations.
