...Little Surprise." The committee did not expect quite so much help from Mrs. Powell. Chairman Emanuel Celler admitted that parts of her testimony "come as a little surprise to us." It was no surprise at all that Corinne Huff, the former beauty queen now high on Powell's congressional payroll and social schedule, failed to appear in response to a subpoena. Other witnesses during the last two days of the hearings merely added details to support earlier charges of hanky-panky with the travel expenses of the House Education and Labor Committee while Powell headed it.

There he has been lolling for a month with his $19,200-a-year "administrative assistant," Corrine Huff, who was Miss Ohio in the 1960 Miss U.S.A. contest.

...told, it was not a very happy birthday for Powell, who turned 58 last week while vacationing with his House assistant, comely Corrine Huff, 25, at his Bimini retreat in the Bahamas. After nearly running down Lynn Pelham, a contract photographer for LIFE, with the old Washington taxicab he uses for buzzing around the island, Powell brandished a shotgun, snarled, "I'll kill you if you set foot on my property." With his telephoto lens, Pelham then snapped a picture of Powell stalking angrily into his house...
