Powell Libel Damages Slashed By State Court
The New York Court of Appeals cut Adam Clayton Powell's libel damages by 100000 dollars and left him a chance to wipe out the remaining debt. Powell's lawyers moved to challenge his ouster from Congress as Harlem plans to react with rallies and interim appointments. J Raymond Jones predicted Powell will remain the nominee for the seat, while Powell stays abroad in Bimini. The case stems from a 1960 broadcast calling Esther James a bag woman and left Powell facing 202500 dollars in civil penalties and contempt charges that influenced his congressional expulsion.
