Powell Indictment

/ wish to extend my thanks
to The Star for its editorial
comments. entitled Powell
Indictment" published on
May IL.
Adam Clayton Powell, jr.
The Star editorial. Powell
Indictment" May IL, con-
tains an inadvertent error:
The l4-month delay, it is
said. resulted from a need to
evaluate the evidence against
Mr.. Powell. and certainly, in
a case Of this kind, there was
every reason for careful eval-
uation Of the evidence" The
recent announcement of a
true bill by the Powell grand
jury confirms the fact that
the Justice Department at
torneys did carefully "evalu-
ate the evidence" and did
find it ADEQUATE to support
an idictment before the case
was presented to the grand
jury. What United States At
torney Paul w. Williams &C
tually said was that the de-
lay resulted from a need to
"re-evaluate" the evidence.
No public announcement was
made Of this need when the
suspension was ordered, but
only after the term of the
jury was about to expire and
after it had been prodded
into action by william F.
Buckley, jr. And if the need
existed why was it discovered
only after Mr.. Powell an
nounced his support of can
didate Eisenhower?
This is a simple tax evasion
case involving only a COM
paratively small amount of
money. Therefore, the public
may be pardoned II it re-
CARDS with some skepticism
the rather lame excuse for an
unconscionable delay offered
by the United States attor-
ney. II the staff of Justice
Department attorneys re-
quired IA months to "re-eval-
uate" the evidence then they
must have spent at least six
hours of every working day in
dreamland.
Old Reactionary.
Your paper says that Mr..
Buckley, editor OF National
Review magazine, was sub
poenaed to appear before a
Federal grand jury. His Of
Tense? He complained that
the Government Jagged in
pressing income tax charges
against Representative Adam
Clayton Powell. Well, didn't
the Government lag for so
weeks?
I noticed that when Sena-
tor Mccarthy was accused Of
classifying his income tax
there we're plenty of news
papers jumping on him. Why
not the same publicity for
Powell?

It is quite clear, I think.
that in spite of efforts to
minimize it. the question of
conflict of interest has
emerged as a notably live is
sue, and indeed the major is
sue in the present Montgom-
cry County campaign. Its op-
ponents have had to cor1cede
that no one favors conflict of

they have fallen back on the
cry of class legislation and
an attempt to show that
practically no one would be
exempt from such conflict.

Pardon me if I laugh at

that these omniscient inter-
nationalist, these do-good-
ers. these give-away enthusi-
asts. these old isolationalist
haters, who have been run
ming this country for the past
rs years would have all these
nasty old situations well in
hand. Yet what do we find?
We find a world composed of
ahti-Americans all around us.
So pardon me while I smile
and make preparations for
World War III which these
internationalists, these for

Nixons' Ordeal

Obviously. the Communists
don't like Dick Nixon. Now
the big drive to destroy his
political chances In America.
, When he's mentioned hence
forth for the presidency the
hue and cry win 60 up that
he Is not acceptable to South
America. Therefore, he must
not be elected.
Actually, the big drive to
get Nixon" got under way
after Georgi Zaroubin, the
Russian ambassador, called
on the Vice President before
leaving these shores to Mike
Menshikov, the Soviet per-
sonality boy. Zaroubin didn't
like the idea of Nixon ever
becoming President. Nixon
doesn't like Communists or
their fellow travellers.
Among other things, Dick
Nixon helped catch Alger
Hiss. the darling of the liber-
ais and Communists. When
Nixon got on the steamer in
the Pacific and returned 10
help nail down charges
against Hiss, he crossed the
Rubicon politically in more
ways than one.
All this may be confusing
to the average American. It
Is not half so confusing as
other acts of this admins
tration, to wit: giving Com
munist Poland nearly $500
million In aid: nourishing
Tito In Yugoslavia, now play
ing for higher aid stakes, and
helping Nasser, who's behind

OF all things, the desire to
