De Gaulle Shuts Market Door To Britain Again
Paris reports President Charles de Gaulle will indefinitely bar Britain from the European Common Market, despite Harold Wilson’s mission to argue for entry. The clash reflects a broader battle between a French led Europe inward and a British led Europe outward. Wilson returns with only a France promised consultation after April, after French elections, as Rome hosts a market summit.

Powell challenge to House authority over seat
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell and his lawyers argue the House lacks constitutional power to deny his seat in Congress. The special committee, chaired by Rep. Emanuel Celler, will hold public hearings and set dates, with a Feb. 23 deadline to report. Powell continues to receive pay but cannot vote or speak. Powell faces possible focus on a New York contempt conviction and use of House funds, while he proposes profits from a new album to offset the judgment.
