The Harlem Democrat today faces an attempt to break his greatest grip on power, the chairmanship of the House of Representatives Education and Labor Committee. Tuesday when the 90th Con- gress convenes, an attempt will be made to deny a seat to the Negro minister who has. repre-) sented New York City's 18th dis- trict since 1945. Some of Powell's troubles have resulted from failure to pay a $164,000 libel judgment. In New York, Powell faces a KINGSTON (CP)--A 27-hour | sit-down demonstration by 419 prisoners at Kingston Peniten- tiary ended early today when the last prisoners were locked in| their cells. | Edgar Babcock, assistant de- puty warden, ssid the prisoners, protesting food and medical ser- vice in the penitentiary, began to disperse around midnight after all prison guards had been called to duty. "They started filing back around midnight and at 2 a.m. the last of them were locked up," Mr. Babcock said. He said no force was used in returning the men to their cells. However, he did not say what action the 107 guards would have taken if the men had not returned. jail term on a contempt of! court charge. | A House committee recently; ---- investigated Powell's activities! as committee chairman and| charged he used official travel credit cards deceptively.

Powell said he'd be ready to speak in his own defence when the first move against him is made. That is to come at the House Democrats caucus. Represent- ative Morris K. Udall (Dem.

But the the prices of a selection-of goods sumer price index rose four- tenths of a point to 145.9 in De- cember as the result of higher costs of shelter and household operations, the Dominion Bu- reau of Statistics reported to- day. The important food compo- nent of the index remained un- changed from November at 144.7. Health and personal care items also remained unchanged, at 184.5. The bureau said the over-all index, based on 1949 consumer prices equalling 100, rose be- cause of higher rents and prop- erty taxes, and increased costs of repairs, fuel, some furniture items, textiles, and most uten- sils and equipment. rose, to 152.6 from 151.1 in No- vember, because of increased cost of automobile operations, Prices were higher for gasoline, motor oil, and chassis lubrica- tion. Prices for new model cars also were higher than the year-end prices of old models. The advance to 145.9 from 145.57 the over-all index rep- resented an increase of three- tenths of one per cent in prices during the month.' Prices in De- cember were 3.6 per cent higher than in December, 1965, when the index was 140.8. Ideally, economists say, prices should not rise more than two per cent a year. DBS has no measure of fam- ily incomes to match its index Jatest available DBS index of average weekly wages and sal- aries, based on 1961 equalling 100, rose to 126.3 in September from 120.8 in August: This un- usual jump reflected the re- sumption of railway services after a strike that affected the August index. The index was 117.8 in September, 1965. Average weekly wages and salaries thus rose 7.2 per cent between September, 1965, and September, 1966. In that period, the consumer price index rose to 1.5.1 from 139.1, an increase of 4.3 per cent. MEASURES.

Earlier, two top men, Leonid I. Brezhnev and Mikhail A. Suslov, gave briefings in Moscow and Leningrad.

Revisions Made For Indulgences VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican announced revisions to- day in the granting of indul- gences. The changes retained the cen- turies-old principle of the con- troversial practice, ho wever, and the Vatican revealed that 14 national bishops' conferences had voted disapproval of the new regulations. Indulgences, in Roman Catho- lic Church terminology, are re- missions of temporal ovunish- ment for forgiven sins. They are granted for performance of specified set of worship. Some experts say they are a source of friction between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestantism and thus a bar- rier to Christian unity.

Two U.S. civilians were re- ported killed and one was re- ported missing aboard the 170- foot dredge, the Jamaica Bay. She sank in 20 feet of water near My Tho, about 35 miles southwest of Saigon. The British ship hit by Viet Cong fire was identified as the 12,900-ton Shell tanker Haus- trum from London. A U.S. mil- itary spokesman said she was hit in the superstructure, fan- tail and bow. The captain was wounded in the arm and leg and a crew member was killed. The captain was taken from his ship but insisted on return- ing and took the tanker under her own power to Nha Be, the oil depot near Saigon. Less than a mile from the at- tack on the tanker in the Long Tau river, two South Viet- namese minesweepers also came under fire from Viet Cong recoilless rifles.

Kennedy made a last-minute attempt to stop the West German magazine Stern from publishing a serial- ized version of William Man- chester's controversial book Death of a President, the maga- zine announced today. Look magazine, from which Stern bought the German - lan- guage copyright, agreed to the request of the president's widow, Mrs. John F. Kennedy, to de- lete certain passages from a version it will start publishing Tuesday. But Stern's chief editor, Henri Nannen, refused to make any changes in the original serial- ized version. The magazine said a. tele- gram sent to Nannen this week- Democrat, appealed in the names of Mrs. Kennedy and himself for the same passages to be deleted from Stern as were being omitted from the Look version. Nannen received the telegram as this week's edition, continu- ing the first instalment of the 60,000 - word serialization, 'was ready to go on sale, Stern spokesmen said. CAN'T COMPLY Nannen replied by cable that he regretted he could not make the deletions because he con- sidered a number of incidents after the president's assassina- tion, which is described in the book, had a political character. Stern said Kennedy claimed there was no material of his- c leted passages and they related only to personal matters which would cause distress to Mrs, Kennedy and the Kennedy fam- ily. The Stern spokesman said the senator also said Look maga- zine, from which Stern bought the publishing rights for about $72,000, was ready to come to an arrangement with the Ger- Man Magazine to reimburse costs incurred for parts of the original version already in print. The spokesman said one of the passages deleted from the Look magazine vefsion cited that official hosts in Fort Worth, Tex., obliged the presidential couple to spend the night be- fore the assassination in sepa- rate rooms. undoubtedly an act of political chicanery against the president and Senator Kennedy had been told it could not be deemed a part of their private life, the : spokesman said. "If I thought that Manches- ter's description were to cause distress to Mrs. Kennedy or her children Stern would' not print this report,' Nannen said in his cabled reply to Kennedy. "T also ask you to understand that German readers, who for 12 years had to endure a cen- sored press, are very sensitive to interference in a _ writer's freedom.
