II it were not for Mr.. Powell's

organization known as Harlem
Youth Opportunities, Inc, with
which Mr.. Powell is not per-

Haryou, as it is called, has
received a Federal grant Of
$230,000 for mapping out a
broad-scale program attacking
Harlem,s delinquency. 1t has
received little or no attention.
