Adam Clayton Powell Pays...?
w~ ---------«r mantT mjimmi!
Ma kes Mockery Of La w
Any layman who has been able to
follow the convoluted course of the
Adam Clayton Powell case - in which
some 15 lawyers and 8CX judges have
had a hand over the past few years --
has qualified to hang out a shingle and
go into practice himself.
The basic facts are simple enough.
The congressman from Harlem made
the mistake of saying something that
wasn't quite true outside the protect*
ing walls of Congress. He was charged
and duly found guilty of libeling a fel-
low citizen and damaging her reputa-
tion. '
Though subsequently appeal and re-
view altered the amount of damages
awarded the plaintiff, the verdict it-
self was upheld.
But because Rep. Powell has money
(more than he would like the courts to
know about) and because as a con-
gressman he enjoys certain privileges
denied plain folks, he has been able to
flaunt court order after court order
and subpoena after subpoena, for, lo,
these many months.
Meanwhile, any number of poor saps
who could not meet their $20 or $30
weekly alimony payments have been „
clapped in the jug by the same courts
Powell has been thumbing his nose at.
v Previously, he was subject to arrest
in,New York only on weekdays. Now
^unless another court has changed the
latest ruling) he may be arrested at
any time he should set. foot in the
state. Civil and criminal contempt ci-
tations pending against him could re-
sult in as much as a year in jail.
Powell is, in effect, an exile from the
very constituency in Manhattan 'he
supposedly represents in Congress.
He isn’t worried. He was just over-
whelmingly re-elected. A^uit attempt-
ing to nullify the ejection on the
ground that he is not a bona fide resi-
dent of his district was thrown out of
court. jr '
To his Harlem constituents Powell
can do no Wrong. Because of his light
tan complexion and congressional sta-
tus, he can milk the political benefits
of being a Negro and at the same time
enjoy prerogatives even few white men
have -- such as junketing abroad with
good-looking women on taxpayers’
money and putting his wife on the pub-
lic payroll.
"America is a nation of laws, not
of men.” “All men are equal before the
law.”
Bunk.
Not as long as even one man is pre-
mitted to make a mockery of due pro-
cess. Not as long as his colleagues look
the other way and permit Adam Clay-
ton Powell to resome his seat of trust
and responsibility in the Congress of
the United States without first purging
himself of the debt he must in all de-
cency eventually pay.
This unconscionable conduct would
be shocking enough if Powell were a
private citizen. It is doubly so in the
position be holds. -—---------^

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -
The draft should be abolished
and young men should be al-
lowed to refuse to fight in what
they personally consider an un-
just war, say policy statements
to be presented before the Gen-
eral Board of the National
Council of Churches.
The policy statements.which
are expected to be approved
today by the General Board,
would urge acceptance of the
idea of "selective objectors.”
, Among other things, the poli-
cy would allow each man to re-
fuse to serve in what he con-
sidered an unjust war.
The concept would also allow
the individual soldier to refuse
to obey some orders during war,
if he, as an individual, saw fit
to do so. ■ ; \

NEW YORK - Christmas will
be a year - round event within
10 years.
This I* the prediction of Dr.
Flood Tide, president of Ebb
University- and this country's
most respected predictor of
trends.
Dr. Tide foresees a Santa
Claus on every comer, 365 days
a year; principal streets of ev-
ery town will be wearing stars,
tinsel and cutouts of reindeer
from Jan. 1 to Jan 1, unending
* radio commercials diking listen-
ers to visit Santa's Headquar-
ters; and steady sale* of holly
and mistletoe every day in the
year./
"More and more, Christ’s
birthday is being used to pro-
mote the national economy,”
Dr. Tide said. "Businessmen
have decided that Christmas is
the biggest sales pitch of them
all, and that not to use it year-
round is a stocking display of
business ignorance.”
“You have noticed, I am sure,
that the Christmas pitch now
starts in October. Indeed, I
heard ‘Jingle Bells’ in a depart-
ment store in late August this
year. There was a time when
Christmas wag Christmas, and
the most advanced merchandis-
er did not employ it for sales
until December was well under
way. A merchant who delayed
his Christmas sales until De-
cember today would be ruled
incompetent and entirely too rev-
erent.” ,
—I--asked-Dr,- Tide what would -
happen to the other big holidays
If Christmas never eneded.
"They will disappear,” he
said. "Actually, in sales In-
crease, the other holidays are as
nothing to Christmas. One Santa

ingtons or the Fourth of July:

It is a merciful Providence
indeed that keeps such quiver-
ing ego, by and large, protect-
ed from the wilds of newspaper-
ing. Otherwise every city room
in the nation would be littered
with the carcasses of self-styled
art.
Oh, it's not that newspaper
writers don’t suffer when edit-
ed — we do, we do. But those
who survive usually learn the
hard facts of life — print is ex-
pendable, wordiness unforgivea-
ble, cuteness is risky and sur-
prise endings in a story are
udden death.

In a feature story, whole
hunks may be removed. In a
column, thb columnist usually
knows exactly how much space
he is allotted; excess ends in
the hellbox. In short, some-
‘times, the motto must be that
all the news is print to fit.
We live with that. Nobody
would have‘been more surprised
at O’Henry stories — in a news-
paper — than O’Henry. I re-
member once, of many times,
I found that out.
I had been slaving over this
animal story. (Animals have
lots of human interest.) A little
girl had noticed that a giraffe
at Atlanta’s Grant Paris Zoo
had a sore foot. She sat right
down and wrote to Mayor Wil-
early Wolfe with
terse overtones of Hemingway
at his best. And I wrote it up-
side down.
"Little Sue Somebody today
can rest assured her long-legged
friend, Sam, will limp no
more," I started out, and spoke
of civic compassion; waxed elo-
quently of man’s humanity to
animals, talked of how Sam's
long spotted neck had been
bowed in pain, and even cran-
ing upward to eat leaves had
not seemed to alleviate his mis-
ery until a thoughtful little girl
took his side.
My editor enjoyed this sujgary
mess and marked it for page
or#, where it ran. I gather how-
ever, the story was found to be
one line too long after it got to
the composing room.
From time to time I still won-
der what thousands of subscrib-
ers thought when reading of the
plight of this long-legged, spot-
ty-necked, leaf-nibbling nut. For
only in the last line, the one
thrown away, was it pointed
out:“Sam is the giraffe in the
Grant Park Zoo.”
the stuff that stuffing is made
of? Practically nothing.”
Will it be possible for Ameri-
cans to grow accustomed tp
hearing "Hark The Herald An-
gels Sing.” or “Rudolph the Red-
Nosed Reindeer” on, say, Labor
Day?
“Yes”, Dr. Tide said. “After
72 years of being an American,
I am quite sure that Americans
have it within them to adjust
themselves to anything. They
like instant coffee, don’t they?
They believe that the word
’NEW’ on a package means the
product is new. I would be quite
surprised if Americans didn’t
adjust themselves to buying
Christmas presents in March,
April, September — you name
the month.
Do you mean to tell me, I
asked Dr. Tide, that the day is
not far off when Americans will
greet one another with “Happy
Christmas” every morning?

Stem, is the first periodical in
the world to publish what may
well be the real explanation for
the suppressed part of the in-
vestigation of President Kenne-
dy's death.
Stem’s senior editor Henri
Nannen came to Washington to
investigate the assassination,
and talked with members of
the Warren Commission. He is
convinced that the Warren re-
port is accurate and that no oth-
er assassin aside from Lee Har-
vey Oswald was involved.
But Stem explains the sup-
pression of the autopsy report
on the grounds that President
Kennedy was suffering from
Addison’s disease and his fami-
‘ly did not want it known. This
would have been revealed in
the autopsy report.
’"Die Kennedys had reason to
keep silent," says Stem. "A sick

About 85 per cent of your
child’s learning is done with
his eyes. If his vision, is de-
fective, learning will be more
difficult for him. Many visual
defects can be corrected if
they are recognized early and
appropriate treatment is ap-
plied. It is estimated that the
visual defects of about 100,000
children ip this country

It is, therefore, imi
to recognize any
your child may have with
vision. This does not neces-
sarily mean a trip to an op-
thalmologist. In making rou-
tine checks of your child most
pediatricians now include vis-
ual testing — using picture
except while asleep until the
vision in the backward eye
has been brought to 20/20,
the normal level.
Start protecting your
child’s vision in infancy.

Freeway Accidents Are
Blamed On Population
HOUSTON (Sp) - The seri-
ousness of the air pollution
problem in Harris County was
underscored in Houston last
Thursday when smog blanketed
the Gulf Freeway, contributing
to a series of early morning traf:
tic accidents,
Investigator! said there were
at least W afecldents and at
least two persons were hospital-
ized. They estimated that about
35 cars were involved.
One of the accidents involved
said visibility was about 50 feet
when he investigated two acci-
dents about 7:15 am. Thursday.
One of the accidents i nvolved
three care, the other, six.
Winds from the east and
northeast blew industrial smog
from the Pasadena area across
tlie Gulf Freeway from 5 to 8
a.m., according to a weather
bureau spokesman.
He estimated visibility on the
freeway at less than one-eighth
of a mile. *
Most of the county experi-
enced no such ‘‘fog or smog” _
and the fog failed to reach Hous-
ton's International Airport and
visibility there was one ami a

"There is no medical reason

come dangerous. Addilon’s ill-
ness — it sounds sinister. Few
Americans know of it and its
symptoms.
“For the Kennedys there was
no doubt of the murderer —Lee
Harvey Oswald.” Continues
Stem: “Already in 1964 Robert
Kennedy told Egon Vacek, ‘Don’t
you think I would do everything
to get the real murderer if I
had any doubts?’
“But the Kennedys went one
step further: to the detailed au-
topsy - report of the Addison
condition, which would mean
that the illness and its degree
way to be kept a secret. This
intent of secrecy seems to be
shown also through the fact that
the Kennedys hid the X-rays,
even from the Warren Commis-
sion . . . Dr, A. J. McSweeney
confirms that X-rays could have
revealed the Addison's disease.
“This would also explain the
lack of date on the Warren Com-
mission autopsy report. Xhi* re» .
port was in effect changed so
that it contained no mention of
the President’s illness. ,
“To tlie quite evident ques-
tion of why the Kennedys should
refuse to admit that the Presi-
~ dent was not killed by a bullet

the speculators hag been able to
give an answer. -T
“The suppression of the Addi-

port explains also the attitude

of people would have been ’

which was impossible.”
V Note — When the late Presi-
dent Kennedy was a candidate
for the Democratic nomination,
the report persisted that he Was
suffering from Addison's dis -
ease. However this was emphati- *
cally denied by the Kennedy
family. Later many physicians
pointed out that the swelling of

CONSTITUTION HALL, over
which a famous controversy
was waged when the Daughters
of the American Revolution bar-
red singer Marian Anderson, is
now the scene of a different
kind of controversy. .„
This time the Baptist Minis-
ters Conference, many of its
members Negroes, is boycotting
Constitution Hall because Duke
Ellington, f a m e d Negro musi-
‘ clan, is playing there tonight
(Dec. 5) and the Baptists claim
his music is not "sacred.”
The Duke is playing under the
auspices of the Interdenomina-
tional Church Ushers Associa-
tion, which is raising money for
the Children’s Hospital, Big
Brothers and the Ionia Whipper
Home. However, elder Negro
leaders among the Baptists have
risen up in wrath against, a .
Duke Ellington concert which
claims to be .religious.
"He is a nightclub showman,"
they contend. Younger church-
men, both Baptists and of other
denominations, claim the boy-
cott against Ellington is because
older church leaders are unwill-
ing to meet the problems of the
day. '
