Powell Leads Democrats Against GOP Antipoverty Revisions
In Washington the House opened a week long debate on the administration's 1.75 billion antipoverty bill led by Adam Clayton Powell with Democrats united to defend it against Republican calls for changes. The measure, facing about 114 amendments, aims to curb poverty while Republicans argue inflation is driven by the program and propose local and private funding shares. Powell pledged swift progress and unity, while Sam Gibbons praised the Job Corps and Neighborhood Youth Corps as essential components amid calls for tighter control of committee powers.
