Bahamas Urged to Deport Rep.

It was calling for the departure from Bimini, 50 miles off the Florida coast, of Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Powell, convicted of contempt of court in connection with a libel judgment against him in New York and under fire by some members of Congress, owns property on Bimini. "If his presence here is not healthy for our society then we should ask him to go and live in surroundings that suit his way of life," the Tribune said Friday in an editorial.
The newspapers said the Bahamian government considered deporting Powell in 1965 after Hurricane Betsy struck Bimini.

The figure included Americans serving in the armed forces abroad, and required a 2.5 per -cent increase in cigarette production to meet demands, the department said. The increase was attributed largely to heavier shipments to Gis abroad, hi consumer levels and a gain in the number of people in smoking age (brackets.

Officers said the new sniper pulled alongside a woman's car in Pomona and fired a shot that narrowly missed her. However, she escaped injury. He then followed another car into Brea, and when its driver, David Trask, 24, Alta Loma, stopped and asked why the man was following so closely, the sniper struck him between the eyes with his revolver. Trask jumped back into his car and fled.
The assailant followed Trask and his wife, forcing their car off the and into a drive-in restaurant. A police officer at the restaurant chased and captured the suspect, who was booked on assault with a deadly weapon. Police said Van Nort had been drinking and put up a fight before he was captured.
