...Emanuel Celler, 78, "dean" of the House, settled for a compromise. All nine members signed it, but Florida Democrat Claude Pepper went on record in favor of excluding Powell, while Michigan Democrat John Conyers, a Negro, maintained that severe censure would be sufficient penalty. What Powell will do remains uncertain. At week's end he was at his Bimini hideaway, unwontedly subdued...
...Federation of Teaching Fellows. The Federation is less than a week old, and even its most ardent supporters do not believe that it can solve all the TF's problems. Its specific demands are nebulous, and even its general purposes and the scope of its membership are still uncertain.

Last week the foundation published Public Television: A Program for Action...
Nothing is better calculated to keep dollar-laden American tourists away from a foreign land than the prospect of uncertain comforts. Even business men tend to shun outposts where the hot water runs cold, the cold water may be undrinkable, or the food too bacterial for tender Western stomachs. Nearly a score of underdeveloped countries have overcome the problem of sleazy accommodations - and so bolstered their economies - by turning to Inter-Continental Hotels Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan American World Airways...
