POWELL SEEKS
WAGNER DEFEAT
NEW YORK - As the champ
ion of New York's “neglect
ed" 2,000,000 Negro and Puerto
Rican citizens. Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell last week hurled his
political power against the re
nomination of Mayor Wagner and
pledged himself to support Ar
thur Levitt.
Powell, a Democrat, has
proved in several dramatic in
stances in the past that his re
puted influence is no fiction.
Powell said he was influenced
largely by what he called a "con
sistent policy" in the Wagner
administration of refusing to
make sufficient use of New York's
2,000,000 Negroes and Puerto
Ricans in city jobs.
Acknowledging that there was
"a token commissioner here, a
token deputy commissioner
there", the Representative de
clared.
"There are over a dozen de
partments in the city of New York
without a single Negro or Puerto
Rican as a policy-making level."
If you are plannin’ on goln’
to heaven it’s now time to start.

WANTED FOR THE
RIDERS TRIALS
NEW YORK - The Congress
of Racial Equality said Saturday
it has requested Atty. Gen. Ken
nedy to post federal marshals in »
Jackson, Miss., during die trials
of 186 freedom riders. The trials

least six months to try all the
defendants and expressed fear
that the presence of so many
whites and Negroes involved in
the trials would lead to racial
disturbances. They were ar
rested for their attempts to de
segregate interstate bus facili
ties in Jackson and are free on
SSOO bail each.
CORE is planning a rally in
Jackson on Aug. 13 to mark the
trials which will begin the morn
ing of Aug. 14. Three other ral
