Powell urges third party after losing seat in Congress
Adam Clayton Powell, NY Harlem representative, loses his seat as a House committee investigates his qualifications. He calls on Black voters to form a new independent political force while urging white allies to join him in seeking a third party. The House votes 364 to 64 to defer Powell until the nine member panel reports in five weeks. Powell retains pay and staff during the inquiry. Roy Wilkins of the NAACP says Powell did not receive a fair deal and calls for even treatment across the House.

Slander suit against Premier Bennett continues in Vancouver
The British Columbia slander case against Premier Bennett advances after a dismissal bid failed. George Murray argued the words were not slanderous. Jones contends the premier’s remarks at a 1965 Social Credit meeting and subsequent events justify the accusation. The hearing covered Jones’s firing, his bid for commission chairman, and a lengthy office sit‑in after dismissal.
