Cooper will not land until the next day. "I feel Gordon knows what he's doing," Mrs. Cooper said. "I think lie will lie relieved to get up and out. I know these last days must be trying." Mrs. Cooper, wire lives in Car bnndalo, Colo., is staying with her mother, Mrs. Orena Herd, in Tc cumseh. a small community five miles south of Shawnee in central Oklahoma. As far as she knows now. she will be there when her son blasts off from Cape Canave ral, following the flight closely over television. Not Worried ' I am very happy he has t h e chance: it's something he wants," she said as she paused during a garage repairing chore behind her mother's house. "He is so excit ed and anxious." Mrs. Cooper, a slender, greying woman who showed not one trace! of worry about the pending llignt. recalled how her late husband. Le roy Gordon Cooper Sr.. felt about the astronaut program when he first heard about it. "He said, there's something Gor don would be interested in," she said. "Soon a letter came from Gordon, saying he was going to Washington for an interview.

Air Force officials said Negro Congressman Indifferent To Kditor'g Note: "These attacks haven't hurt me with my peo ple." That's the way Rep. Adam Clayton Powell. P-X.Y., reacts to criticism of his activities. The following dispatch, the first of three about the Harlem Negro explores some of these criti cisms and how Powell views them.) By LOUIS CASSKLS and ARNOLD SAW I SLA K United Press International WASHINGTON (UPIi - At a recent news conference on Capi tol Hill, a reporter asked Hep. Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y.: Does it bother you to be called an adult delinquent?" Powell's handsome tan face broke into an ellin smile. "No," he replied. "Not at all." A bland indifference to notori ety is one of the uncommon traits that have made Powell the most talked-about member of the 88th Congress. Not since the heyday of the late Sen. Joseph H. .McCarthy. R-isM has a lawmaker managed to stir up so much controversy as Powell, The urbane, 54-year-old Negro leader has outraged some Amer icans and delighted others, by zestfully pursuing the rarely com bined careers of playboy, preach er and politician. Disregards Convention His genius tor trampling on conventional ideas of how a min ister end-or a congressman should behave has been expressed in a Uittermg variety of ways. Item: He has hung a sign on the door of his congressional of tices telling visitors, m effect, to go away. Item: He married his secre tary, raised her government sal ary from $3,074 to $12,974 a year and ensconced her in a $70,000 beach house in Puerto Hico to earn her pay at a distance of 1 .500 miles from Washington When criticized for all of this, he blithely acknowledged: "1 think nepotism is wonderlul." Item: He left Washington in the midst of last year's congression al session for a month-long tour of Europe, accompanied by two attractive young women members of his staff, all of them traveling on government funds. When asked whether it was proer for him to include night clubs and beach re sorts in his itinerary, he replied CHS Names Don Taylor CHILOQUIN-Don Taylor elected by the Chiloquin High School to serve as president of the student body for next year and Hocky Evans will be vice presi dent.

Criticized Widely For these and many other flamboyant transgressions against popular ideas of propriety. Powell has been criticized by his col leagues ill Congress, upbraided by newspaper editorials, and re buked by some prominent Negro leaders. But there are two groups which evidently find no fault with Adam Clayton Powell.

The more aggressive posture he has lately assumed on racial is sues also is reflected in his de mands that Negroes take full con trol of the leadership posts in all organizations, such as the NAACP, which are working for their betterment.
