Washington - (1M - At
recent news conference on
Capitol Hill, a reporter asked
Rep. 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.
Item:' He married his tecre
tary, raised her government
salary from $3,074 to 112,974
year, and ensconced her in
$70,000 beach house in
Puerto Rico to earn her pay
at a distance of 1,500 miles
from Washington. When criti
cized for all of this, he blithe
ly acknowledged: "I think
nepotism is wonderful."
Item: He left Washington
in the midst of last year's
congressional session for a

Of all the
"Englishmen
who drink gin...
how many
drink Gordon's?
Most of them. 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.

In his itinerary, he replied

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."

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.
