Adam Clayton Powel( (D-N.Y.): "Docs it bother you to be . called an adult delinquent?" Powell's handsome tan (ace broke into an elfin smile. - "No," he replied. "Not at all." A bland indifference to notoriety is one of the un common traits that have made Powell the most talked-about member of the 88th Congress. Not since the heyday of the late Sen. Joseph R. McCar thy (R-Wis.) has a lawmaker managed to stir up so much controversy as Powell, The urbane, 54-year-old Negro leader has outraged some Americana and delight ed others, by zestfully pursu ing the rarely combined ca reers of playboy, preacher and politician. Disregards Convention His genius for trampling on conventional ideas of how minister and - or a congress man should behave has been expressed in n flittering vari ety of ways. ' Item: He hat hung a sign on the door of his congressional offices telling visitors, in ef fect, to go away.

When criti cized for all of this, he blithe ly acknowledged: "I think nepotism is wonderful."

And It'i been that way for yesra.To be blunt about It, ' Cordon's is England's biggest selling gin as It Is Americas and the world's. Why? Probably because we have always refused to tamper with a good thing. Cordon's still harks back to Alexander Cordon's original formula conceived tn London 194 years ago so Its distinctive dryness and delicate flavour remain unchanged and unchallenged to this day.

Criticised Widslr For these and many other flamboyant t r a n sgressions against popular ideas of pro priety, Powell has been criti cized by his colleagues In Con gress, upbraided by newspap er editorials, and rebuked by some prominent Negro lead-, ers. But there are two groups which evidently find no fault with Adam Clayton Powell. They are the Negro and Puer to Rican voters of the 18th Congressional District of New York who have elected him to the House 10 times by huge majorities and the members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, who have retained him at their pastor through three marriages, two divorces, a trial for income tax evasion which resulted in a hung Jury, and repeated demonstrations of his sophis ticated tastes in wine, women, food and festivity. Since hit consituents and his congregation are the only people whose opinions great ly matter to Powell, he can afford to be carefree about the vituperation heaped on his head from other direc tions. "These attacks haven't hurt me with my people,'' Powell taid in an interview with UPI reporters. "On the contrary, they have strengthened my position at home. The folks in Harlem know that I'm being attacked because I'm a Negro - and be cause I've won a place in the power structure of Ameri can society from which to bat tle for their rights." Htads Important Committt. Powell's "place In the pow er structure" is the chair manship of the House Educa tion and Labor Committee, which handles a large portion of President Kennedy's dom estic legislative program. He served notice recently that he feels the Kennedy administration Is "moving too slow" on civil rights and he may prod it along by adding his so-called "Powell Amend ment" - a rider forbidding any racial discrimination in programs financed partly by federal funds - to domestic legislation coming out of his committee. The more aggressive pos ture he has lately assumed on racial issues also is reflected in his demands that Negroes take full control of the lead ership posts in all organiza tions, such at the NAACP, which are working for their betterment. Powell says Negro organi zations should "welcome the support of white people, but not in policy-making posts." "The white man has given the Negro in America just about as much as he intends to," he declares. "The Negro masses from here on must take their place in the demo cratic picture in America under their own leadership and through their own power. "We will acheive only that which we fight for, and it can only be done by thoe organizations that are totally owned, controlled and main tained by the Negro people."

""--f"r " Faculty Member's Article Accepted Ashland - Dr. Harold Bar rett, - assistant professor of speech at Southern Oregon college,, has received notice that his article, "The Lamp of Henry Grady," has been ac cepted for publication in the September issue of "Today's Speech Association of the Speech," a journal of the Eastern States. , The article Is en analysis of the famous speech, "The New South," that Henry Grady, as editor of the Atlan ta "Constitution," gave before the New England Society of New York In 1886. Although the speech ' has been analyzed many times, Barrett believes that no one hat sufficiently explained Grady's use of the symbols that helped to effect the great response given by the audi ence. Odds seemed to have been against Grady. He was but 36 years old, waa relatively un known to the audience, and was the first southerner to ap pear before them. Immediate ly before he stood to speak, General Sherman, who had marched through Georgia, criticized him as a backwoods Georgia planter, and just be fore Grady began, the group sang "Marching Through Georgia." 'By the time Grady finish ed," reported the New York Times, "every man in the room was brought to his feet with waving handkerchief and sonorous cheers." Barrett's article Is a study of how Grady identified his message with the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes of the listeners through the handling of sectional symbols, pri marily the symbols of the Puritan and the Cavalier.
