House Group Has Ils Own Hooky Problem WASHINGTON (UPI) — Members of the House Education Committee had their own hooky problem today. Chairman Adam C. Powell apparently had gone fishing and left them locked in the schoolroom. The unhappy committee members scheduled a closed session to look for away out. The discussion seemed likely to be short, sharp and not altogether complimentary to Powell. The New York Democrat had the distinction Tuesday of being thoroughly tongue-lashed, by name on the Senate floor. The denunciation, delivered by Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., was unusual because members of Congress are supposed to refrain from using the House or Senate floor for personal attacks on each other. The latest flap in the contro-versy-scarred committee started when Powell scheduled two weeks of hearings on President Kennedy’s $5.3 billion school aid bill and announced he would preside over them. Goes On Vacation Powell held the gavel for about two hours and 15 minutes Monday. Then he vanished. It was reported he had gone on a twoweek trip to Puerto .Rico, where he maintains a beadhside home. He left Reps. Carl D. Perkins, D-Ky., and Edith Green, D-Ore., to conduct the hearings in frigid Washington. Republican members, headed by Rep. Peter Frelinghuysen, N. Y., were unhappy when Powell set the hearings to run through the week traditionally set aside for GOP Lincoln Day dinner speeches. When Powell's absence became apparent, they became more unhappy. In addition, several Democrats were distinctly put out by Powell’s decision to consider Kennedy’s 24-point school program in bulk before deciding if it should be sliced up into separate bills. Charges Favors In his Senate speech Tuesday. Williams charged that federal agencies were “scrambling around’’ trying to do favors for Powell. Williams criticized the State Department for giving Powell funds for his widely publicized “European vacation with his lady friends” last summer; the Internal Revenue Service for failing to crack down on Powell for tax delinquency; the Federal Housing Administration for approving SIO.B million in mortgage insurance for Powell and his associates; and the Health, Education and Welfare Department for awarding a I $250,000 grant for a juvenile delinquency project in Powell’s Harlem district. Os the last, Williams said: “Mr. Powell...could well be recognized as an authority on ‘adult delinquency’ but most certainly he is not the caliber of man who the American people would want to set an example for the youth of our country.” If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

HOUSE (Continued from Page One) House, went into an executive session of the committee and emerged with a stiffened partyline look. Bontrager said that by an 8-3 party line vote, it was decided to recommend passage of the Houseapproved constitutional amendment “The Democratic minority members asked to be given the night in which to decide if they will offer a minority report as a substitute for the majority report,” Bontrager explained. The three Democratic members —Sens. William Christy of Hammond, Paul Hatfield of Evansville, and Von Eichorn of Union-dale-held a midnight oil consultation with Senate minority leader Marshall Kizer. The Democratic strategy apparently will be to offer a resolution rejecting the “do pass” recommendation of the Republicans. A majority vote on this motion would leave the GOP plan bottled in the legislative apportionment committee. Privately, some Republican senators expressed puzzlement that the GOP representatives were so insistent on forcing the 60-member Senate plan onto the floor in the face of the risk of defeat. At least three members of the Senate have said repeatedly they will not support the plan, which would cut the GOP vote to 22. In an earlier test, none of the 24 Democratic senators swerved to the GOP side on reapportionment. Two Sults Pending The no-compromise approach came in the face of renewed action by former Sen. Nelson Grills, who has two court suits pending in an effort to force immediate reapportionment by legal action. Grills filed a motion in the ÜB. District Court here to hurry up consideration of his suit. He also filed two actions in Johnson Circuit Court at Franklin where he has a suit pending which would prevent State Auditor Dorothy Gardner from paying the legislators. In the federal . court motion. Grills asked to have his suit separated from one filed by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. The three-judge panel named to hear the two suits had consolidated them. Grills said his suit should have an immediate trial before the current legislature spends any more money. .The panel had delayed until April the hearing of the two suits, which is after the close of the 1963 Legislature.
