Meredith Challenging Powell In Harlem Race
Austin Scott reports in New York that James H Meredith, 33, an independent Democrat, seeks to run as Republican for Powell's seat in a special election on April 11. Local sentiment skews against him across Harlem, with few supporters and warnings from Jackie Robinson and party figures about a poor showing amid racial tensions. Separately, six Britons were wounded by a grenade at an Aden outdoor dinner party, with attacks blamed on pro-Egyptian nationalists after a similar cocktail party blast last week.
