Solon Told Wife He Was Son of White Man NEW YORK—Adam Clayton Powell suggested to his wife, Yvette, that he was really not a Negro, she revealed in an ex elusive Ladies' Home Journal article. Although the official record states that three of Mr. Pow ell's grandparents were white and the fourth Negro, Mrs Powell said, "He told me he was not related by blood to his grand father Powell,- and was the son of a white man." Mr Powell claimed that he was adopted by his grandfather Powell, a Negro and a former slave, and was content to let the world think he was a Ne gro. However, in a new auto biography Mr. Powell wrote for the Congressional Directory, the word 'Negro," which was in cluded in earlier editions, was omitted, the article disclosed. "1 still do not know wheth ei what Adam told me about his father was the truth or iust another of his stories,' Mrs. Powell said. At another time, Mrs Pow ell wrote, her estranged hus | hand became so conscious of | his power as a Negro in Con- I gress that he believed she was I a detriment to him. "People ! rnisht resent the fact you're and "yo> just don't like Negroes." Mrs. Powell said her husband told her. "Since 1 had fallen in love with a Negro that seemed strange," Mrs Powell said. She is the former Yvette Diago . of San Juan Puerto Rico. After her 1960 marriage to Mr. Po\Vell in Puerto Rico, Mrs Powell described her life as "tremendously happy." Surely no woman ever spent a more perfect honeymoon or felt more cherished and sure of the fu ture than I." Soon after, Mrs. Powell said. See POWELL 2A VERNON E.
