SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, Powell I Readies For (Party Ouster AAove From all indications, there will be a knock down, drag out battle oi. the floor of the House come January when the Demos attempt to swing the political axe on the neck of Congressman Adam Clayton Powell. According to inside information. Powell, who reclaimed his seat in Congress by a majority Democratic vote in bis district, comprising a large section Harlem, is slated for the "axe" as soon as party leaders work out the attack. N.

Y. Democratic leaders in Washington are incensed over Powell's switch to support Ike. A decision to strip Powell of bis Democratic raiment was made right after the Congressman went step further to also pledge bis support to Republican candidate Jacob Javits for the U. S. Senate, instead of.

the party's candidate, Mayor Robert Wagner. Victories for both Eisenhower and Javits opened wider the political wound. If the move is successful. Powell, a seven term member of Congress, will lose his senior status on two major committees. He's third ranking member of the House Education and Labor Committee which has jurisdiction over civil rights legislation, and fifth in rank on the 32 member Interior and Insular Affairs committee.

His years of service make it possible for him to even gain higher seniority on the two committees. According to the information, there is a plan to have the matter brought up at a meeting before the new Congress "convenes in January. It is expected that Powell will be stripped of his committee charges as a Democrat. Powell, in a release from Campaign Headquarters following the election, stated that he would go to Washington in January on the opening day of Congress to vote as a Democrat in the organization of the House of Representatives, "but if there is any hint made to discipline me, then the Democratic Party might as well kiss the Negro vote goodbye, not only in New York, but elsewhere." Powell stated that the Democratic Party had never disciplined anyone. He mentioned the case m' THIS IS YOCR LIFE' Mrs.

Upon acceptuig this policy, Mrs. Louis, announced her endorsement of a special plan for life insurance coverage, which will afford additional life protection and retirement bene NEW YORK AGE DEFENDER rGfc 3 Dr. Bunche A Man or The Job (An Editorial) The time for recriminations, has pass Whether or not, you agree with the; Administration's jo i policies or the choice of John Foster Dulles to punctuate them during the past four yeaxs, it is un deniable that Dulles not smirked his responsibilities as Secretary of State. The pob'has never been an easy one, and it has been especially trying for Dulles, who despite his diplomatic, know how, has never fully, won the trust and respect of many nations of the.

world. Coupled with recent illness and age, it is understandable why the word is spreading that Dulles wants to step down. Who will replace him? Several men nave been mentioned for the sensitive job of Secretary of State; among them the present Undersecretary, Herbert Hoover, and former New York Governor, Thomas E. Dewey. Good diplomatic architects, we admit, but each, in our opinion, lacks the capacity to fully under sand the social andor economic problems of all nations, large and small.

In our opinion, Dr. Ralph Bunche possesses, notnly the wide diplomatic knowl edge and experience of Dulles, but an in ate understanding and sympathy Of minori ty problems, as they affect peoples any where on earth. In addition, he has proven, by effecting peace among the Arabs and Israelis eight years ago, and his stellar and dedicated work since as a 'United Nations undersecretary general, that. he considers no job "impossible." i. Another consideration must, not go unnoticed.

Dr. Bunche would be quicker welcomed into the councils of the world's darker nations than any American we can bring to mind. His choice as Secretary of State would be a tremendous propaganda weapon for the United States, and help to dull some of the barbs of "imperialism" being thrown its way. It woujd be repititious to document Dr. qualifications, here.

Suffice to say that the 52 year old diplomat is considered by his colleagues in the United Nations to be one of the foremost statesmen of all time. This recommendation alone should be reason enough fos considering him as our next Secretary of State. four years ago when the Dixiecrat members of the House and Senate walked out and formed the States Right Party. Citing another instance' when Governor Lausche of Ohio announced that he would vote with the Republicans in the organization of the Senate despite his candidacy for U. S.

Senate on the Democratic ticket. Powell said nobody disciplined him. "Therefore, it is obvious to the Negro voters that the threat to discipline me is purely because I am a Hammarskjold Flies To Egypt, Hungary UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
