Powell and Williams trade racial bias claims in Senate clash
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell accuses Sen. John J. Williams of racial prejudice while Williams denies race as motive, saying the issue is government spending. Powell cites a deed restriction tying to Aryans. Williams says he bought property in 1952 and has no intent to leave, noting Supreme Court rulings on such clauses. The dispute follows Williams accusing Powell of misusing funds for housing projects and Powell defending his finances and a European trip with staffers.
