...news that Adam Yarmolinsky has been sacrificed in order to get the anti-poverty bill through Congress [Aug. 14] comes as a sad shock to those of us who have known him since Yale Law School days (1946-48). What has delighted me about Adam has been that he combines ability, intelligence and integrity with imagination and ingenuity. He refuses to be the routine bureaucrat. Although not really an outdoorsman. he accompanied one paratroop group aloft on a training exercise as an observer. He then jumped with them. At another time he took a cruise on a Polaris submarine.

...perhaps the strongest sign of the Administration's determination to have a program at any price was its willingness to scuttle Adam Yarmolinsky, who has been on loan to the Poverty Corps from his Pentagon job as special assistant to Defense Secretary McNamara. Yarmolinsky is disliked by many Southern Congressmen because 1) he is a liberal, and 2) he helped set up a Kennedy-ordered commission to investigate racial discrimination in the armed forces, later took part in implementing its anti-discrimination proposals. Those same Southerners did not want Yarmolinsky messing around with the Poverty Corps. The coup...

The issue remains to be settled, but even if the program is not pork-barreled dry, it will be a long time in producing tangible results...
Where, for example, were Harlem's leaders last week? Its hero, its Congressman, and pastor of its huge, 10,000-member Abyssinian Baptist Church, Adam Clayton Powell, was in Switzerland and Washington, but not Harlem. "There's one good thing about Adam Clayton Powell," says one Negro. "He seems to make the Caucasians very angry." Harlem's only city councilman, J. Raymond Jones, was fresh back from his Virgin Islands retreat, but he saw no reason to comment on the situation...
