Rep. Powell Says Charges Are False

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep. Adam Clayton Powell says it isn’t so. The controversial New York Democrat Tuesday broke a silence of several weeks about criticism of his operations in and out of Congress. “Inaccuracies, misstatements and in some instances lies,’* the Negro congressman said of charges by Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., that the'Kennedy administration was going all-out to give him favored treatment. “Vindictive,” he called efforts by some of his House colleagues to cut his request for $697,000 to run the House Education and Labor Committee. “I don’t want to have any more than any other congressman,” he said. “But by the grace of God,- I’m not going to take any less.” Reversing a “closed door” policy toward reporters in his office, Powell gave all comers his views of the criticism that has been piling up about him for weeks. He said a more complete answer to his critics would come later. Gets Bone Support Powell also got some support in his rejection of Williams’ Feb. 5 charges from Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and Rep. James Roosevelt, D-Calif., a member of the education and labor committee. Kennedy, testifying before a subcommittee on the President’s Youth Conservation Corps bill, said a $250,000 juvenile delinquency project in Powell’s Harlem district, was “very valuable.” The project, of which Powell is a board member, was one of Williams’ chief objections. Roosevelt, at the same hearing, Little Girl Loses Both Legs In Wreck WATERLOO, N.Y. (UPI) —How does a father tell a seven-year-old daughter whose love is dancing she will never dance again? The heart-tearing decision is what faced Orazio Marcuccilli to- ' day. He must tell his daughter, Deborah, she has no legs. Debbie was one of 61 children in a school bus bound for Waterloo Central School last Wednesday morning when it was slammed into a utility pole by a skid- j ding tractor-trailer. Bus driver Ralph Worden, 32, and 30 of the children were injured. Debbie was sitting at the point of impact and lost her right leg. Doctors at Taylor-Brown Hospital here were forced to ampu- ; tate her other leg below the knee : Monday because of gangrenous infection. State police said the truck driver pleaded guilty to running a stop sign and paid a $5 fine. Hospital officials said the little brown - haired, brown-eyed girl from Seneca Falls is unaware of her condition. “She has never complained,” one said. “Her main worry is what 1 happened to her five-year-old ' brother, Dale, He had a bruised forehead.” Two brothers, Danny, 12, and David, 10, also were on the bus. “I know how much Debbie loved dancing,” her fa flier said. “I don’t know how I’m going to tell her she can’t dance any more. | We told her that some people had sent her money and asked what she wanted to do with it. “She said she wanted a pocketbook, a pair of gloves and a new 1 pair of dancing shoes. What do I ’ tell her? It was her greatest pleasure.”

objected to another member “intimating that there is something bad” about the Adam Clayton Powell Foundation. He said the foundation was named for Powell’s late father “and it is doing a wonderful job.” On Senate Floor Williams charged on the Senate floor two weeks ago that government agencies had been “scrambling around’’ to do Powell’s bidding. He cited alleged loans to Powell-related foundations dealing with housing for the elderly. Powell said he used the word "lie” specifically to apply to Williams' statements on his tax problems and on the reported housing loans. Powell had no apology for keeping his wife on his congressional payroll. He said Mrs. Powell, a Puerto Rican, performs an invaluable service at home by translating and handling correspondence he gets in Spanish. As for grumbling by some congressmen about his recent twoweek stay in Puerto Rico, Powell said that on this and other personal trips to the island he had paid his own expenses. Labor's Education Committee Meets MIAMI BEACH (UPI) — The midwinter meetings of the AFLCIO Executive Council were sidelined today for a session of its powerful Committee On Political Education. The committee has a major say in setting political policy. The meeting of the committee, however, was expected to be routine because this is an off-year, politically. AFL - CIO President George Meany planned to attend today's session of COPE. The council spent about 1% hoursof its session Tuesday listening to and questioning Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, primarily about unemployment. Wirtz said he told the council that the Kennedy administration will count primarily on President Kennedy's tax bill to fight unemployment. Meany said he thought the taif biU was a “step in the right direction,” but questioned whether it would be as effective as Wirtz indicated. Meany said, however, that Wirtz agreed with the council that unemployment was the nation’s “No. 1 problem.” But the labor chief said he felt the administration could do more toward pointing up the urgency of the problem to the country. Fire School Practice Postponed To Friday Fire chief Cedric Fisher said this morning that there will be no fire school practice Thursday night, as it has been postponed until Friday evening. The practice will be held at the fire station at 7 o’clock Friday night. Dunkirk Resident Is Killed By Train DUNKIRK, Ind. (UPI) — The body of Elzie Emerick, 94, Dunkirk, was found lying along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks here Tuesday and authorities said he probably walked into the path of a train several hours before the remains were discovered.

Youth Confesses To Slaying Os Family GREEN BAY, Wis. (UPDSomehow there was a shadow over the dream of Jack Hebard and Joyce Rudell to weld together their broken homes. Their earlier marriages had not lasted. To wed seemed like th« thing to do — it would provide Hebard’s son, Harry, with a mother, and Mrs. Rudell’s three children with a father. Along the way came little hints that all was not well in the new Hebard household, especially with teen-aged Harry. No one paid much attention. Harry always had been close to his adventuresome father, whc was known as “Lucky Jack O’Hara,” a part-time daredevil in an auto thrill show. Harry often helped his father in his specialty stunt, “The Human Bomb.” A neighbor said Harry “sure liked” his stepmother’s twin daughters, Janice and Judy, 11 The girls took the Hebard name. The same neighbor recalled that he never heard of quarrels in the Hebard house, a remodeled farm home in a sparsely settled section on Green Bay’s Southwest Side, “except maybe between John and Harry.” John, at 15, was one yeai younger than Harry. John kepi the Rudell name. It was known that Harry fell “left out” of the family circle and had bad feeling toward the others. A minister said he was aware of trouble. A friend said Harry had talked of running away. Today, police held frail, moody Harry Hebard, 16, for murder. The rest of the family — his fa. ther and stepmother and her three children — were dead oi gunshot wounds in the head. Harry broke down Tuesday when he admitted he killed his father Monday evening. He was to be handed an amended charge of first degree murder at an arraignment today. Dist Atty. Robert Warren would not say what the new charge would be. Hebard was arrested at a farm 20 miles away after police were called by a co-worker of his father who became concerned when lights were on at the Hebard home Tuesday morning but no one answered the phone. Police found the bodies of Jack Hebard, 36, his wife, Joyce, 35, and her children. All had been shot in the head with a 22-caMber pistol and rifle. There was no apparent struggle. Colder Weather Is Forecast In Stale By United Press International It’s almost tempting fate to mention it, but 1963 may see the first Feb. 23-25 period in the last four years in Indiana without a major snowstorm. That three-day period has gone down in recent history as a sort of “Ides of February” with deep drifting snows stopping or virtually paralyzing normal activities. It happened in 1960, 1961 and 1962. But the five-day outlook for the period this year indicates a most uneventful time is coming up. It said there will be little or no precipitation in the central and south portions through next Monday, and less than one-tenth inch in light snow or flurries about Monday in the north portion. Also the next five days, 1 the weather will turn colder—B to 12 degrees below normal south and central and 10 to 15 below normal north. Therefore, if the weatherman should be off on his precipitation outlook, it will be cold enough to snow. Temperatures climbed to 55 at Evansville Tuesday, 51 at Fort Wayne and 50 at Indianapolis and Lafayette. Overnight lows this morning ranged from 25 at Evansville and South Bend to 30 at Lafayette. Highs today will range in the upper 30s and 40s central and south, dropping to lows from 12 to 20 tonight and rising to highs in the 20s Thursday as a colder trend develops. In the north, light snow may fall today and tonight and temperatures will fall to 8 to 14 above zero by morning, rising no higher than 15 to 20 Thursday. Jack Webb Hired By Warner Bros.

Warning Given . By President ‘ Os Venezuela >t WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi- * dent Romulo Betancourt of Venele zuela said today his country cona fronts a “very aggressive” Com- ® munist offensive ordered and financed “from the centers of Mos- * cow and Peking byway of Ha- * vana.’’ h d He warned there will be “violent revolution” and government e regimes “very much like that o from which Cuba is suffering” if k Latin America fails to institute n social reforms. " In an address prepared for a y National Press Club lunch, Betane court said U.S. diplomacy durn ing the decade through 1958 conL tributed to the flourishing “of the j' extreme left in my country and d in others where there was dictaIs torship ” j. But he emphasized that he felt j. the world was getting a “distorts ed picture” of the significance of Communist terrorist acts in Venezuela. He complained that not T enough attention is given to “con-. )t crete and definite facts of progress in economic and social reform” in his country. e Betancourt planned to lay bce fore President Kennedy later tos day his ideas for checking Comd munist penetration in Latin - America. The Venezuelan president ary rived here Tuesday and twice r heard Kennedy praise him as “a j’ symbol of what we wish for our , r own country and for our sister republics.” The two presidents were schedy uled to hold their second works ing session late this afternoon, s following which e que will be issue<f*lW Cdtwefta- •_ Uons were expected to cover b means of strengthening the Western Hemisphere defense alliance and streamlining Alliance for Pron gress machinery. e Lavish In Praise t . Kennedy went out of his way Q Tuesday so give Betancourt full d and firm personal endorsement. 0 Welcoming him at the White House. Kennedy said “you reprek sent all that we admire in a poi, litical leader.” □ At a White House state banquet r Tuesday night, Kennedy repeated- >. ly lavished praise on Betancourt. “We are,” Kennedy said, “great admirers of yours. We wish the United States to be -identified with leaders such as you..J hope that your visit here to the United States will remind the people of this country that they have a good - deal of unfinished business in this hemisphere, that the hope of this hemisphere lies in leaders such 0 as yourself that there is no e quick and easy answer to all the 1 problems that we face, that Mr. a Castro can disappear and the problems will still remain...” e Hits Same Theme t Betancourt struck the same P theme in his banquet toast “We want,” he said, “to work [. for a serious transformation of ■i Latin America, for a change in depth of its 41 economic and social e structures. We want to benefit our t people, our people who are attacked by Soviet propaganda that r is so cunningly channeled through j Havana.” Speaking of Fidel Castro, Beta ancourt said “Castro's prestige and t Castro’s regime may only be accidental, but our joint efforts will B have to try to make sure this ac2 cident does not take place in other i countries. e 1 “When his regime is gone, the . continent will still be poor. Those . who think like I do do not prei tend and do not claim that the United States itself can solve t these problems. I believe that our t own effort and our own work are 1 extremely important and this is 5 actually the basic philosophy of . the Alliance for Progress.” - ' « 3 Report Two Thefts * Here During Hight 3 The city police are investigating 1 today two thefts that occurred r sometime late Tuesday night ’or early this morning. ~ Four hydraulic jacks were stolen ' from trucks parked at the Krick- ; Tyndall company. The trucks are owned by Krick-Tyndall and were parked on the lot overnight. The four jacks were valued at $250. A fire extinguisher, valued at SBO, was stolen from an oil truck owned by Beavers Oil Service, t Inc., of Decatur. The truck was > parked at the company’s bulk plant i at 11th street, by the Erie railroad crossing.
