He supports proposals for pen sions for World War I veterans. Porter said, based on their in come needs. He said the Bradley report on veterans pensions is headed in the "wrong direction," and criticized the Eisenhower administration for its stand on veterans legislation. His three primary interests, if elected, he said would be enact merit of a new. fair labor law in place of the Taft-Hartley law; new processes in the security- loyalty program to provide that those accused of violations would be faced by their accusers and not saddled with guilt with no chance at defense; and the issues of war and peace, which he de clared Ellsworth has neglected.

Adam Clayton Powell (D N.Y.), a leader of the House civil rights bloc, has thrown his sup port to President Eisenhower in a surprise election-year move. Powell announced after a 25 minute conference with Mr. Ei senhower that he will support Mr. Eisenhoyer for reelection be cause of his stand on civil rights and because of his great prestige among the Western powers of the free world. Once Backed Stevenson Powell, one of three Negro House members, supported Adlai E. Stevenson for president in 1952. Chairman Emanuel Celler of the House Judiciary committee, a fellow New York Democrat and strong civil rights advocate, called Powell a "turncoat." He said Powell "should be deprived j of his seniority rights in the House as a Democrat." j Took Pleasure Jaunt Celler said in a statement that ' when Powell's civil rights bill : was called up for debate in the House the New York congress-1 man "went to Europe on a pleas- ure jaunt." I Rep. Charles C. Diggs (D- Mich.), also a Negro, said in De troit today he does not plan to join an "independent Democrats for Eisenhoyer" movement. "I don't plan to be influenced by anything Mr. Powell does or says regarding endorsement of the GOP ticket," Diggs said.
