Reneged On Promises Republican Revolt in Harlem Assists in Effecting Dropout NEW YORK (WP)-James Mere- dith withdrew from the congres- sional race against Adam Clayton Powell yesterday, apparently be- cause of a Republican revolt in Harlem against him. Negro lead- ers hailed his retirement. Cora Walker, a GOP leader in Harlem, said party committeemen in Powell's 18th Congressional Dis- trict were in revolt against Mere- dith's candidacy on the Republi- can ticket. Meredith said his dead-of-night dropout from the April 11 special election for Powell's old Demo- cratic House seat, resulted from SEN.

The stipulations-agreed upon two days ago by Dodd's lawyers and the Ethics Committee-gave this financial picture: -The testimonials and a series of campaign fund-raising dinners and drives produced a total of $470,157.32. -Deposit of $35,000; $20,915.72; and $94,869,57 were made from bank accounts built on the fund- raising events to accounts in the names of Dodd and his wife, Grace. -Dodd received $11,794.67 in cash payments, from the fund- raising events and from individ- uals. James P. Boyd, Jr., once admin- istrative assistant to Dodd, testi- fied that he had talked with David Martin, a Dodd assistant, after the 1964 election, and that one contributor was to give $10,000 if the senator would help obtain an ambassadorial appointment for Abe Spanel of International Latex Corp. Boyd quoted Martin as saying of Dodd: "He said he had just a deal in whiph Irv Ferman would donate $10.000 and all the senator had to do was to do all he could to get Abe Spahel an ambassadorship. Ferman would make the contri- bution and he would be reim- bursed later by Latex." Dodd has said he fired Boyd for misconduct. He contends Boyd, seeking revenge, turned over to columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson documents stolen from his office files. The columns that resulted led to an investigation of Dodd's con- duct as a senator. But Dodd, who sought the initial investigation, still maintains the Ethics Com- mittee has no mandate to in- vestigate his finances.

Although Mrs. Gandhi's 19- member Cabinet contains 11 new faces, the major portfolios of home, defense, external affairs and planing did not change hands. The most important change was naming Morari Desai, 71, deputy prime minister-a title not held by anyone since independence hero ardar Patel died in December 1950.
