Powell Plans Court Action to Restore Seat
Harlem preacher Adam Clayton Powell intends to seek federal court relief within a week to force the House to seat him. He was excluded from the 90th Congress after a House vote and has signaled a bid for the vacancy, while critics cited payroll padding and misuse of funds. Powell, vacationing in Bimini, called the decision a second Dred Scott ruling and said little beyond arranging legal steps. Congress previously voted to exclude him 222 to 202 with penalties. a separate vote 248 to 176 supported excluding him from membership and notifying New York Governor Rockefeller of the vacancy. Powell’s lawyers argue constitutional grounds. others predict a court challenge. Representative Emanuel Celler suggested Powell would pursue immediate court action.
