Showdown in Powell Dispute Heads to Thursday
Washington AP The revolt leader against Chairman Adam Clayton Powell says he has enough votes to win in the House Education and Labor Committee fight with Sam M. Gibbons. Gibbons plans a committee vote next Thursday on new rules to shift power to six subcommittee chairmen and claims support from more than half of the 31 members, including 13 of 21 Democrats. Powell refuses to disclose his tally while aides hint some defectors may back him. No sign of leadership intervention, and talks of a possible compromise linger though Gibbons rejects middle ground. The dispute centers on hiring, firing, and staff control and the path to bringing legislation to the House floor.
