Powell Ouster Put To Test As House Bars Powell
House bars Adam Clayton Powell amid a party line clash and a renewed push to seat the Harlem preacher. Powell’s absence at Bimini did not stop his aides from vowing a future court challenge, while allies predict his strong backing will return him to office. The vote split deep along party lines, with leaders warned the action could haunt the chamber in the months ahead. Powell’s exclusion faces possible court review and a likely special election to fill his seat.
