Sokolsky the Powell phenomenon it is of historical importance to note a political trend which while currently it is limited to new York City shows signs of developing in All the big cities of the not the. It alight be called the Powell phenomenon. It deals with the political position and attitudes of Adam Clayton Powell jr., a negro Clergyman and member of Congress. Powell is a Brilliant orator holds degrees from three universities is pastor of the largest negro Church in the world is a member of the House of representatives from Harlem and although a registered d Socrat asserts the authority of political Boss of the negro and puerto rican voters of new York it is not beyond probability that lie can become the Boss of both tile Republican and democratic parties in new York county where the negro and puerto rican vote could produce an absolute majority. Powell got into difficulties with the Federal authorities when certain political and Church assistants of his were charged with income tax violations were tried and convicted it was part of this situation that developed an income tax Case involving Adam Clayton Powell. Jr., and his second wife Hazel Scott the pianist who lives in Paris. Powell who had always been a Democrat who had often supported left Wing movements in Harlem threw his party Over in 1956 and endorsed tile candidacy of president Eisenhower the cry of a Deal went tip throughout new York the Assumption being that Powell had made a Deal with the Republican party to swing the Harlem negroes and puerto Picans from the democratic party to the Republican party. U o j a such deals cannot of proved one Way or the other nothing came of the excitement except that it took a Federal grand jury in new York 14 months to bring a True Bill against Powell which set is to be Overly Long for such a process. In fact Thomas Belam the assistant United states attorney who handled the matter resigned from government service because he has contended unit tile pressures put on him to drop the matter were unseemly and unethical. After 14 months the grand jury threatening to ignore the department of Justice and seeking its own information and even employing its own counsel an indictment was handed Down Stead of Hie Powell Case being tried threats were made against Bolan and also against William Buckley or. Editor of a the National review a Lor providing the grand jury with information which any citizen May do. Powell was thus Able to establish among his constituency the fact that although he is a Democrat he is an untouchable among the republicans. He then demanded negro Solidarity behind him. This was expressed at a meeting of the Republican new York county committee s executive committee in which one of tile negro Republican leaders of Harlem took the open position that if the democrats refused to nominate Powell for Congress the republicans would have to do it or the negro Republican leaders w Ould have to leave their party. This assertion of negro Solidarity was based on the statement that if one negro is indicted All negroes Are indicted. Vol. 80. No. 129 it.
