Ten years ago, the Navy was

Admiral Rickover, acclaimed

almost was jettisoned for rock

had reached captain he had
stepped on enough Navy toes
that his promotion to admiral
was twice passed over, which
would have meant retirement.
But congressional pressure
saved his career. Admiral Rick

nevertheless, was reliably re-
ported today to be under way
with leadership approval. This
was a proposal in the House
Administration Committee to
slash the Education and Labor
Committees operating budget
far below the 100000 received
during the 196l-l962 congress
sional session.
Several House Administra-
ton Committee members favor
ing a sharp cut have the back
ing Of some Democrats and
many Republicans on Mr.. Pow
ellis committee. Any cut would
require eventual House approx
al. A resolution Of that kind
might throw the entire Powell
problem" open to House debate.
AS recently as 1858, the Ed
ucation and Labor Committee
got only about 100000 a year
for expenses, although its work
load at that time was much
heavier with labor reform leg
islation as well as aid-to-educa
ton bills. Since Mr.. Powell
became chairman, the annual
allotments for the committee
almost doubled, House records
showed.
Talk Of Splitting Committee
Proposals to split the COM
mittee into separate committees
on education and labor are not
new, but they are being revived
in informal conversations with
various House members includ-
ing members of the Education
and Labor Committee.
This would be done, If at all,
by the House passing a resolu-
ton creating two new commit
tees. The House then would
elect the respective members on
the basis Of selections by Dem
ocratic and Republican House
groups.
The Democratic Committee
on Committees consists of the
is Democrats on the Ways and
Means Committee. Republicans
have special Committee on
Committees. Their respective
assignment of members Of
other House committees are
subject to ratification by party
membership caucuses before
formal submission in resolu-
tions to the House.
The Democratic Committee
on Committees would designate
the chairmen as well as other
members of each of the two
new committees. II would not
necessarily have to nominate
Mr.. Powell, even as a member
of either committee.
Veteran House members said,
however, that such a separa-
ton of the Education and La
Dor Committee was merely in
the talk stage" They noted
that this long has been a con-
troversial issue and might not
materialize in any event.

A breakup Of the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee
and a breakdown on its oper-
ating funds were cited by in
fluential Congressman today as
practical - but not certain -
ways to curb or depose Chair
man Adam Clayton Powell.
Those House members saw no
way for the committee itself to
unseat the New York Democrat
as chairman. Committee mem
bers sometimes can force q
chairman on procedural mat
ters but cannot elect or oust
him.
The House has power, under
the Constitution and its rules,
to censure or remove Mr..
Powell, currently sojourning in
Puerto Rico. Some members
predicted today, however, that
this never would be attempted
or achieved.
A legislator remarked that
such a resolution would start
a row that would make the
Rules Committee packing fight
