WASHINGTON (UPIl New .1 crackdowns on corruption in the i canisters Union were forecast today as a result of a;i Aupellate ' Court order directing Teamsters' resident James 1. Hoffa to com ply with reform recommendations. A source close to the board of monitors named to ride herd on the way Hoffa runs the giant un ion told United Press Internation al that "Hoffa will really have to toe the line now."

Hoffa told a meeting of Teams ters Joint Council 73 in Newark. N.J., Wednesday night that the union would fight the decision through further appeals. "While we may not like it," Hoffa said, "it is a decision of a ! U.S. court and deserves respect and dignity. But I assure you it is only a matter of time before our lawyers draw up the papers and carry this on to another ap peal." The appeal would be addressed to the Supreme Court. Hoffa's setback came Wednes day at the hands of the U.S. Court of Appeals. It rejected a Teams ter bid to overturn the broad anti corruption program laid down by the monitors and approved by Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts. The three-man appeals court said the monitors have only ad visory powers. But it ruled that the 1,500,000 member Teamster Union, the nation's largest, must carry out the recommendations if a federal court approves. The decision also gave Letts power to veto a special union convention called by Hoffa to con duct new elections and end the monitors' supervision of Teamster affairs.

WALZER' UPI Staff Writer NEW YORK (UPIi-Scott Paper Co. has introduced an innovation in its annual report that maJS set a pattern for industry in telling its story to the many stockholders of American corporations. Scott simplified its regular re port to implant its image in the minds of college students. It was part of its educational program,. ' Wall Street experts - who have seen the report look on it as a method of making clear the opera tions of big business in a way tha'. the novice stockholder can under stand, t . ' The company took its regidar report and inserted annotated partial pages keyed to text and figures. Each item is explained simply so that it can be read without reference to special book lets 0 other texts. Thomas B. Mc Cabe, pres dent of the company, said tlje spe cially prepared report,' beliWed the fifst of its kind, was designed "to provide students with an ex planation of a corporate annual report in everyday language in order to promote a better under standing of business operations and their significance in IhcTjcn cral 'economy." Used By Colleges . The report has beep sent .to 252 colleges throughout the country without cost for use in their business and economics courses. Special attention is devoted to the consolidated financial state ments, the shareholders' , inves mcn, and other significant items. "This- unique student edition has been undertaken," Mc Cabe said, "because we firmly believe that it is the responsibility of industry to provide all possible help in telling the story of free competitive enterprise and its vital role in our economy." Wall Streeters. scanning the re- porU as annotated for .coltogc students, noted Hot this type of report would be espwafly valua ers springing up all over: the nation. The sophisticated stockholders could read the regular report without bothering with the an annotations while the novices in finance and there are many at present could profit from the ex planations. Simplifications are broad and in clear, concise language. Clear Definitions For example, the item depre ciation and depletion is explained as follows: Scott has various kinds of plants, equipment, and timber- lands which become worn out or Bull, Calf Sale At Enterprise Wallowa County Hereford As sociation will hold a bull calf sale at Enterprise next fall on November 7, according to Elgin Cornett, county agent. . o- Sale committee' appointed by President Vernon Hays includes Gene Van Blokland, Walt Stein and Bill Wolfe. Clayton Tschirgi of Fruitland, Idaho, will auction the calves af ter they are judged by the gen eral public who will be asked to fill in cards for each class. 'Demand for Wallowa county bull calves is increasing and a sale 'should provide cattlemen an opportunity to contact producers cf quality cattle," Cornett stated. For ranchers who like to buy young bulls and grow them at home, Wallowa county breeders offer a new type sale but older cattle are available from breeders. "Purebred cattle is tine of the fast growing industries in Wallowa county. Natural advan tage in weather and forage helps tc produce top quality that will satisfy," Cornett added. The opossum is the only animal in the United States that raises its young similar to that of the used up. . . frequently over period of many years. Annual amounts to measure this using up 'depreciation for plants and equipment; depletion for timber i can be fairly esti mated by experience and must be includcdd as part of the cost of doing business in every periodic calculation of net income. And for. net current assets: "The difference between the to tal of all current assets and the total of all current liabilitfes. This is how much Scot would have loff if it collecttd its receiv ables, liquidated all Its inventor ies at cost, and paid its current debts. , This difference is some times called 'working capital which every company has in amounts dependent on the nature and volume of its business and the judgment of its management.' Good Will Fund Patents, trademarks, and good will are carried in the balance sheet ' at $1 with the annotated explanation: "This $1 is a re minder of the fact that all that Scott has ever spent to promote and improve its products has been treated as expense when paid." And so on each item is taken up in sufficient detail to make it perfectly clear in reading the re port. . The novice, stockholder doesn't like to go around asking what each , item in a report means. Here he would have all the in formation needed for a thorough grasp of the report. Further details- could be ob tained from other sources for those who wanted to pursue the subject in detail. This type of annual report might well be circulated gener ally. Once the report is laid out the printing and binding wouldn't raise the price much and it might well mean that the report would be read by a great many more people. It just might be the means of nreventing the stockholder from tossing his company's report in the wastebaskct without even giv A farewell salute to the 48-star flag will keynote this year's ob servance of Flag Day, June 1L by the La Grande Eiks Lodge at 8:15 p.m. Exalted Ruler Ed Draper to day invited the public to join with the Elks on June 11 in tri bute to the flag "which has been the proud symbol of freedom for 47 years."
