Adam Clayton Powell, the Harlem political firebrand and first black congressman from the East, died at 63 in Miami after a long illness tied to a prostate operation.

Court Refuses Plea On Records
Missouri Supreme Court refused to order Agriculture Commissioner Dexter Davis to release to the Senate Appropriations Committee records about meat inspection. Senator Donald Manford of Kansas City said he might seek a subpoena if he gains 18 votes. The dispute concerns state vs federal control of the inspection program and funding beyond $500,000. Davis said records would be released but are confidential per federal order.
