■ Rep. Walter B. Jones j Reports From Washington Expulsion —a word we used many times during the House session of Wed nesday, March l. Os course, I am referring to the Adam Clayton Pow ell situation. This Wednes day session ran from 12 Noon to approximately 7:30 P. M The key vote came early in the afternoon when the House, by a vote of 222 to 202, a margin of 20 votes, refused to con sider a Committee recom mendation which would have seated Rep. Powell with certain penalties and under certain conditions. It was abundantly dear that the House was in no mood to accept a compro mise. The question, simply, was he legally, morally, and ethically qualified to be seated. To those who may wonder about the precedent of expelling a Member before allowing him to be seated as a Mem ber, definitely, this is not the first time. As a mat ter of fact, the House has on five occasions exduded Members elect, that is to say, have not permitted them to take their seats. They were, Mr. Roberts, who was a Member elect from Utah, Mr. Berger of Wisconsin, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Young of Kentucky, and Mr. Whittemore of South Carolina. Hie Whittemore case oc curred in the 1870’s. It de veloped that Mr. Whitte more was selling appoint ments to the Service Acad- Notice To Administrators, Executors and Guardians!

As a result of this, he resigned from Con gress, returned home, and subsequently was re-elected and came back up to the Congress. And here it was that the Congress re fused to seat him in the Chaipber. He was exclud ed. And to those who might be concerned regarding the constitutionality of this ac tion—that question remains to be resolved. There were strong arguments of the House to accept the Com mittee compromise, and I think it important that we consider the choice of words used by the Commit tee in its report The re port in part stated: "Mr. Powell wrongfully and willfully appropriated $28,- 505.34 of public funds to his own use from July 31, 1965 to January 1, 1967.” This was in connection with the checks to his estranged wife, who did not perform services either in this District of Colum bia or in his home District, as required under House rules. The Committee further stated that “Mr. Powell wrongfully and willfully appropriated $15,683.27 of public funds to his own use from August 31, 1964 to July 31, 1965” in the same manner as stated above. There were further in stances of Congressman Powell “wrongfully and THE CHOWAN HERALD, KDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1967, willfully”, and these are the words of the Commit tee, appropriating addition al sums for v forged and false signatures for air travel. It also stated that $461.16 was willfully mis appropriated by Congress man Powell in connection with the airlines tickets. And finally, the report stated, and these are the words that “Mr. Powell falsely certified for pay ment from public funds, vouchers totaling $1,291.92.” In view of the strong statements of the Investi gating Committee, which was, to say the leak, origi nally a friendly Committee toward Congressman Pow ell, most of us could only conclude that the question before us, the only question before us, was his conduct such that he was entitled to be a Member of the Congress of the United States, or was it such, that he should be exduded from Membership. There was no compromise. If we .are to retain the virtues of Recency, proper moral con duct, honesty and integrity in the high places of Gov ernment, then I cannot help but feel that the ma jority of us voted properly and in good faith, without regard to race or section alism, trying desperately to uphold the principles upon which this Republic was founded. On Thursday, March 2, the House passed an au thorization for a supple mental appropriation for the Department of Defense in the amount of $4,584,- 000,000. I will not attempt to explain the breakdown of the specific purposes of this supplemental appro priation, but only to say that the necessity for this is a result of the Vietnam involvement To those who are urging the Administration to find an area of negotiation as soon as possible, this was a difficult decision, for the “yes” vote in the broadest sense, upholds our actions in Vietnam, but on the other hand, so long as we are committed, I have no other choice as a Congress man, but to vote to supply that which the military contends they need for the continuing operation, in fact, a substitute motion by Congressman Burton of California, was made that none of these funds could be spent in the Vietnam effort This motion was defeated by a vote of 372 to 18, with all of the North Carolina Members voting against this restriction. Most of you possibly know by this time that our own Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., was involved In an ac cident on Sunday, Febru ary 26 which, fortunately, did not cause any serious injury to anyone. Due to failure, he lost .control of his car and ran into the side of the U. S. Supreme Court Building. I reminded the Senator that he had verbally attacked the Supreme Court for many years, but I never thought he would have the courage to deliver a phy sical assault! Who Knows? 1.
