Failure to Include
Sl1,328 in Return
Luid to Powell

NEW YORK, Mar. 81 (AP).-
A Government witness testified
yesterday that Representative
Adam Clayton Powell, Demo
crat of New York. failed tc
include S11,328 of the earnings
of his wife, jazz pianist, Haze
Scott, in making out her 1851
Federal income tax return.
The witness. Morris j
Emanuel, a special agent of the
intelligence unit of the Internal
Revenue Service, testified al
the Negro CongresSman's in
come tax evasion trial in
United States District Court.
Mr.. Emanuel conceded that
when Mr.. Powell listed his
Wife's gross income for that
year as s49.076.23 he included
Sll ,O4l through error, so that
her gross income was under
stated by only S287.
The Government charges
however, that despite the
amount included by error there
was criminal intent to withhold
Sll,328 in reported earnings
The defense contends that part
of that figure represented
blocked European currency
which taxpayer can elect to
pay in a later year when the
money is freed.
Mr.. Powell. who also is a
Harlem minister, is charged
with evading more than $4,000
in taxes on his wife's 1851
return and their joint 1852
return. A jury of nine women
and three men is hearing the
case before Judge Frederick
Bryan.

President Sees
BilkGraham
BY CASPER NAMES
Star Stan Writer

Billy Graham today told a
news conference he was going
to urge President Eisenhower
to visit Nigeria for that coun-
trys' independence celebration
in October.
Mr.. Graham who only yes
terday returned from a l0-Week
tour of Africa and the Middle
East, also saw Mr.. Eisenhower
today.
He told newsmen as he left
the White House that Mr..
Eisenhower was very receptive
to his suggestion and promised
to give it serious consideration.
If President Eisenhower
goes to Nigeria" Mr.. Graham
told the earlier news confer
ence, lit will electrify all Africa
and identify the United States
with the nationaliStic aSpira-
tions of Africans more than
anything else I could think of. I"
The North Carolina evangel-
ist said that a group of South
African ministers had come to
him while he was in Africa
and suggested he go to South
Africa for spiritual meetings.
They and others feel that only
a spiritual awakening will bring
about a solution to the racial
situation in that country"
He told the clergymen, who
expressed the conviction that
biracial meetings could be
held within the next two years,
that when the time came he
would change his schedule and
go Immediately to South
Africa.
Mr.. Graham pointed out
that there are many Europeans
in South Africa who do not
believe in the policy of that
government concerning race.
Mr.. Graham is leaving to-
night for his home in Mon
treat, N. c. He will conduct an
evangelistic crusade in Wash
ington in Griffith Stadium
from June 19 to 26.

Congressional
Libel Seen in
Malice Motive

Members OF Congress, like
ether citizens, must avoid mall
ice or face libel suits when
they circulate their speeches
outside Congress, District Court
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl
has ruled.
The judges opinion yeSter-
day contained the first extend
ed court opinion about a law
makers immunity when he dis
tributes what he said on the
House or Senate floor or in
serted in the Congressional
Record.
The Constitution makes 1t
clear that a member of Con-
gress cannot be sued for what
he says on the floor or puts in
the Record. the judge said. But
this privilege becomes qualified
when reprints of the Record go
to non-members, he added.
Qualified privilege requires
an absence of malice to be
free of libel.
Judge Youngdahl's ruling in
volved a libel suit and counter
suit between Representative
George S. McGovern, Demo-
crat of South Dakota, and
Glenn Martz, publisher of a
weekly farm newsletter. and
the Washington News Syndi-
cate.
Candidate for Senate
Mr.. McGovern is a candidate
for the Senate seat now held
by Karl Mundt. Republican.
Mr.. McGovern charged that
the newsletter had falsely
linked him with Communist
front organization.
The defendants denied the
charge and countered that Mr.,
McGovern had printed in the
Record and distributed a false
allegation that Mr.. MartZ had
sought to discredit the Farm
ers Union.
Statute Of Limitations
The judge dismissed the de-
PENDANTS first claim on grounds
that Mr.. McGovern's insertion
in the Record has absolute
privilege. He dismissed the
second defense claim on
grounds that it is barred by
the one-year statute of limita-
tionS.
The judge left Mr.. McGov-
ern'S suit awaiting trial, refus-
ing a summary judgment re-
queSted by the defendants.
The absolute privilege of
members of Congress on the
House and Senate floors also
must be applicable to material
unspoken but inserted in the
Record. the judge said. but un-
inhibited discussion among leg
iSlatorS is not promoted when
members circulate reprints of
the Record elsewhere, he de-
clared.
Members of Congress I'M
doubtedly have the right to
inform their constituents and
a convenient way to do this is
through circulation of the Rec
ord, the judge admitted. Quail
fled privilege permits this, "even
If the information is defama-
tory-so long as the act is not
done maliciously," he said.
