tion, and the fields of legislation
in which he was most interested.
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-

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.

Rep. Powell Joins
Ike's Bandwagon;
Cites Civil Rights
Washington (U.R) Negro
Rep. 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. "I
am supporting the Stevenson
Kefauver ticket enthusiastically
and wish Mr. Powell would do
the same."
