Powell's behavior could not pass unnoticed. But to refuse him the seat to which he was duly elected was a noxious affront to overwhelmingly Negro constituency. Its desire to have Powell as its representative has been -- and probably will continue to be -- quite clear. And as a Congressman, he has effectively and eloquently fought for Harlem's needs...

His bill would compel fuel producers to register all additives such as tetraethyllead- used to boost gasoline octane count- with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare so that their potentially noxious effects could be studied. HEW would be given authority to designate industries that contribute heavily to pollution, and in each case would determine the maximum tolerable level of deleterious materials that they could generate. The department would also designate "regional airsheds" throughout the country, wherever there was serious pollution whose...

The process not only enables steelmen to cook a batch of steel in 40 minutes instead of six to ten hours in an open-hearth furnace but produces metal with fewer strength-sapping impurities as well...
