Powell foe demands reopening of Powell case
Rep. H R Gross says the Justice Department whitewashed the Powell grand jury dismissal and will urge the incoming Nixon administration to empanel a new grand jury. Powell faced charges over misuse of funds while chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee and was ousted from the 90th Congress but re-elected to the 91st. The grand jury was dismissed for lack of evidence, with civil action still possible. The Supreme Court agreed to hear Powell’s seating case, with a ruling expected next spring.
