''The greater the difficulty, the
more the glory in surmount-
ing it"
Epicurus.
ADAM POWELL is still in the
us. Congress literally taking
it on the chin for democracy.
With the possible exception of
former Representative Oscar
DePriest, the fiery Republican
from Illinois; Congressman
Powell is certainly the most
courageous and outspoken
champion for equal rights
Washington has seen in many
a decade. He belongs with the
roster of Sam Adams, Patrick
Henry and others who dared
to stand alone.
THE NATIONS editors took
full and honorable recOgni-
ton of Congressman Powell
when the fighting New York
representative battled even the
State Department in order to
tell the members of the At
rican-Asiatic Conference at
Banding that America, in
spite of her faults, was still
working toward solutions of
her problems. Powell received
some brickbats for not being
more critical. But Powell was
right.
LIKE TROTTER, Powell has
been asSailed from all sides,
by friends and foes alike. The
punch on the jaw from a Vir-
GINA congressman this month
was only a physical symbol
of previous attacks by Dixie
Gratis who tried to get him
thrown out of Congress as a
communist They also tried
to SANDER his wife. Powell al
legedly lost political patron
age for feuding with at least,
one, probably two, White
House Presidents. He never
quit.
NEW YORK political oppo-
nents of Powell still revive the
Dixiecrat communist propa-
ganda and SANDER trying to
prove he is unfit for the role
he has thus far played well
at the risk of his own health
and safety. Most militant lea
ders of color have been smear
ed as reds" and Powell has
exposed most ''red-baiters' as
hypocritS who know little alb
out the real meaning of dem
ocracy and car less. Like the
late Mr.. Bilbo. Or Huey Long.
New England has possibly
seen the successor to Adam
Powell in the very popular
appearance here of Mr.. Hulan
Jack who, most political OBJ
servers, including the writer,
believe has a bright future in
New York State. The progress
siye colored Catholic possibly
could win a seat in the SEN
ate. The progressive colored
Catholic possibly could win a
seat in the Senate. Certainly
he will not lack many quail
fications nor voters. But in
spite of rivalry, Mr.. Jack must

The convention of the
Northeastern Federation of
Women's Clubs drew crowds
of members and other visitors
to Boston this week not only
from the New England States
but from as far south as the
District Of Columbia.
The visiting clubs are the

preparations for the entertain

concede Powell has fought a
brave fight.
HULAN JACK and Adam
Powell both give New York
two most outstanding pOliti-
cal leaders in the east. There
is no wisdom in either camp
to resort to character mud
singing or personal poisOns.
In spite of some differences,
both men are cOlOred and face,
and must fight, the same OPP
pressiOns. With equal Oppor-
tunity they would never have
to oppose each other for the
same Office. Here is the dis
elimination that divides and
weakenS a race.
A TRAGEDY of our history
has been the many efforts
made by various forces to di-
vide and diScredit cOlored
leaders by pitting one against
the other instead of utilizing
both. There are those who
would use cOlOred to diScredit
Adam Powell just as there
were those who tried to use
cOlOred men to discredit Fred
Douglass and Monroe TrOt-
ter. Jack Johnson and Joe
Louis never became friends
because of this same subtle
separation.

for months a box of goblets,

Lists Weapons
By the Associated Press

Committee says the Defense De-
partment has cleared all the
military information In a booklet
in which it lists % new weapons.
The publication. issued by the
committee staff, alsoassembles
other facts on American military
strength.
Defense Secretary Wilson told
news conference Tuesday that
pulling together separate facts
into a single published report
could damage the security of
the country" He said this puts
stamp of authenticity on it."
The booklet was issued March
10. before Mr.. Wilson put out a
new directive tightening control
of military information. It car
ried a footnote that "informa-
ton and data in this list have
been cleared by the Department
of Defense for publication pur-
poses"
This did not indicate whether
the various items had been
cleared as a unit or separately.
Most of the facts in the 81
page booklet have been published
before. But they are assembled
for the first time in a single.
comprehensive and quasi-official
publication.

Circus Clown Turns Out
To Be Paint Firm Head

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, April
Is @.-The role of q small-time
circus clown apparently has
ended for q Rochester IN. "
business executive who had been
missing for more than two
menths.
Rufus K. Dryer, 46. was found
in Pensacola, Fla, yesterday.
happily working as q clown and
tattoo artists assistant In 8
small circus.
He had been missing since
February 8.
Today he rested in seclusion
at the home OF a friend.
He had shaved his head. and
friends said he had a complete
dragon tattooed on his back and
arms and extending around his
neck.
Amnesia Victim
Mr.. Dryer, president Of the
Clark Paint, Oil g. Glass Co., of
Rochester, was vague in his
answers to questions. Police said
he apparently was an amnesia
victim.
He had been using the name
Of David E. Carey and had a New
York drivers license in that
name but said he didn't know
how he got it.
Friends said MIR. Dryer had q
letter Of reference from the
Clark company signed by Rufus
K. Dryer as president. They
quoted the letter as saying David
E. Carey had worked for the
company as q driver and ware
houseman for 10 years.
Danny Styron II, tattooist from
East Pittsburgh, Pa, said he paid
Mr.. Dryer $25 a week as his as
sistant. In addition to his cir
Gus act, they had been on tele-
vision together.
Met In New York.
Mr.. Styron said he first met
the man he knew as Carey in
Rochester or Batavia, N. Y, last
fall and that Carey told him he
was looking for the best tattoo
artist in the business.
