Adam Clayton Powell Jr. indicated his civil rights truce with the Ken nedy Administration had ended. In an interview, he said the Administration was “slowing up’’ in the rights field. Consequent ly, he will no longer refrain from offering or supporting anti discrimination riders to Admin istration bills. Mr. Powell became chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee in 1961. He announced then he would with hold support from antidiscrim ination amendments - often called “Powell amendments’’ - while the Administration moved vigor- f ously on the civil rights fronts Mr. Powell said that he no, longer felt bound to the pledge inasmuch as President Kennedy had rejected the Civil Rights Commission recommendation to cut off federal aid to Missis sippi. He also criticized the per formance of the Health, Educa tion and Welfare Department. He cited its 1962 pledge to cut off federal subsidies to segre gated school systems attended by the children of servicemen from Southern military bases. “The whole climate is not one I can operate in,” Mr. Powell said. Asked if that meant he now would begin offering riders to White House bills, he said: “I have to.’’ 4 GROUPS WORK TO HELP UN DELEGATES TO FIND HOMES NEW YORK - Four different organizations are working to end housing problems faced by members of foreign United Nations delegations here. Most of the obstacles are caused by racial or religious prejudices. The groups are the United States Mission to the UN, the N.Y. Mayor’s office, the UN Secretariat, and the volunteer hospitality committee for UN delegations. The main purpose Is to help foreign visitors have a better impression of our country and to assure them of comfortable living conditions. TTie housing situation became k critical overnight almost in 1960 when 17 newly independent Afri can nations sent delegations to the UN. Better accommodations are hard to find because New York City and surrounding areas have long rental waiting lists with plenty of persons wanting larger quarters. One African delegate said he was less enamored of the United States after having been house hunting. no EtIZOMS^W ORKING r ARTNER YOUR^—^ P.7
