the Amsterdam News and can
didates should be nominated on
the basis of participation and
leadership in community activi
ties. Only women in the Metro

other messages in the past,
called for a single June primary
for respective party candidates
prior to the Presidential conven
tions, and for a special commit
tee to study the question of in
creasing the minimum wage to
a $1.50. Some groups have threa
tened to demonstrate in Albany
for raising of the minimum wage.
The Governor also told legis-
lators he would send separate
reitrietion on the apecfel* messages later this
month urging continuation of the
state's low-income housing pro
gram and for strong changes in
the state's liquor laws.

A spokesman for the Governor
indicated that in his special mes
sage on housing he would make
a new attempt to promote great
er racial integration in public
housing by providing apartments
for low-income families in mid
dle-income projects. A similar
proposal was defeated in a 1962
referendum.

E. Allen, School Superintendent
Calvin E. Gross and the present
other eight members of the Board
of Education and former Board
President Max J. Rubin. He
charged none took any action on
his complaint.
When none of the violations
were corrected, and as a last
resort, Solinger filed hig suit.
School Superintendent Calvin E.
! Gross and the Board of Educa
tion are named as respondents.
Experienced
Among complaints listed by
Solinger in his affidavit are:
‘ The deponent is experienced
tand qualified to Judge and an-
' alyze the potential safety hazards
which are related to the use of
} power machines used in Apparel
and Textile Manufacturing hav-l
ing 12 years of full time ex
perience in the field and also
ten years of college teaching in
related areas."
Solinger also said:
"That as a result of my years
of experience, the Board of Ed-1
ucation of the City of New York
has created a situation in the
shops situated in schools wlueh
are under its supervision and
control and particularly those
shops in the High School of Fash

“It’s very hard when you have
to do everything youraelf. No
body to help you,” she com
plained as she picked up a flat,
square tin can from the kitchen
shelf. "I’ve got some cement in
here,” she explained. "I’m going
to mix it with some water to
put in the holes.”
Hears A Scream
The papers also charge that
several reversable errors were
committed during the trial last
Spring, which should be grounds
for a new trial.
They contend that Mrs. James
had failed to prove that she was
the person Powell was talking
about, that her character wit
nesses were incompetent, and
that the trial judge had not in
structed the jury with regard to
ignoring his questions and re
marks during the trial.
Powell’s lawyers will also
argue that the verdict by the
all - white jury was excessive,
in that Mrs. James did not suffer
$11,000 compensatory damages,
and that the Harlem Congress
man should not be punished to
the tune of $200,000.
"About four months ago.” she
added, “we were sitting up
watching television. I heard a
scream. It was Jeanette *3
years). A big rat bit her on the
hand I took her to Harlem
Hospital and the docter gave her
an injection. I tell you It got so
bad you’ll be sitting in the front

Returns Home
Pending the appeal, another
Powell attorney, G. Donald Cov
ington, worked out an agreement
last week with Mrs. James’
lawyer, Raymond Rubin, in the
chambers of Appellate Division
Justice Charles Brietel, suspend
ing all court actions until after
the decision on the appeal.
Powell must appear for examin
ation of his finances after the
decision.
The agreement paved the way
for Powell to return to Harlem
on a weekday, and he took quick
opportunity of the occasion last
week, returning home Thurs
day, and touring the community
until Congress reopened Tuesday.
tenants have been pooling the
rent money to buy coal for the
furnace in the basement. At one
time they collected $107, but a
few days before Christmas the
fuel ran out and enough money
was not chipped in to buy more
coal.
Mrs. Harrison said she has
tried to keep a good apartment
going back seven years ago
when she and her husband
moved in, but admitted it was
a frustrating business now that
the building "is not what it used
to be.”
His tours and visits, however,
showed that Powell had lost little

visited public places.
At a press conference at his
club Monday, more than 300 of
his club members and friends
jammed the Alfred Isaacs Club
of Democrats, 2295 7th Ave., and
cheered him as he punned with
newsmen who sought to question
him. He refused to answer ques
tions on the court case.
Powell said he would work for
unity In Harlem during the com
ing year, and hoped to campaign
for President Johnson. He also
indicated he would seek to estab
lish a closer relationship with
Mayor Robert Wagner.
He also sought to take New
York dally newspapers to task
for ignoring wire service stories
praising him as “one of the two
most important men In Congress
during the last session.” Powell
said there waa a “curtain of
silence” in the local dally press
over favorable stories concerning
activities of the House Education
and Labdr Committee, of which
he is chairman.
