Concluding that Adam Clayton. Powell's offenses constituted "gross misconduct," the special House committee investigating his affairs last week proposed that he be publicly condemned and assessed $40,000.

Though exports rose fast (10%) last year, imports increased even faster (15%). And with markets weakened in other European countries, France stands to see its balance-of-payments surplus turn into a deficit before 1967 is out. Continued prosperity depends on France's ability to hold the line on prices...
