House Reduces Powell's Power
Washington. The House Education and Labor Committee voted 27 to 1 to curb Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's authority as chairman. Powell would keep the chair but lose power to delay bills, hire staff, and dispense funds. He would share floor action with six senior subcommittee heads and lose control of about 30 staff and a quarter-million dollar budget for the remainder of the session. The move targets Powell's policy influence and is seen as a rebuke of his use of power.
