Powell Threat: If Indicted He'll Blow Whistle
Adam Clayton Powell warned that if indicted he would blow the whistle on those who led his removal from the seat. He spoke from the Bahamas and planned a speaking tour of colleges across the West, Florida, New England and the Midwest as federal investigators decide on possible charges. Powell, longtime representative and former Education and Labor chair, did not name targets. He said he would talk with southern supporters he planned to visit in Los Angeles near the Watts district where riots in the 1960s left many dead.
