Hoffa today challenged the list of prospective jurors selected to hear a $1 mil lion conspiracy case against the teamsters president. The challenge was continued in a motion filed today when federal court opened to hear the Hoffa case. Hoffa is accused of accepting illegal payments of over $1 mil ion from a Michigan trucking firm. Judge William Miller called a closed pretrial conference and said the defense challenge would be aired after the conference. The motion contends that women and Negroes were excluded from the list of prospective) jurors. Miller indicated that selection of a jury in the case might not start until Tuesday. Personal Vendetta Hoffa contends the charge against him is part of Ally. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's "personal vendetta" to land him in jail. "Bobby Kennedy is using the taxpayers' money for his own personal vendetta and is usurping his oath of office when he used the FBI and other government agencies for his own satisfac tion," the 49-year-old union lead er said of his long-time legal foe. Selection of a jury to try Hoffa on charges of accepting illegal payments from a Michigan truck ing firm was to begin after a pre-trial conference at 11 a.m., EDT, before Federal Judge Wil liam E. Miller. Miller called the conference to iron out methods of procedure and determine the number of juror challenges allowed attor neys for each side. Pleads Innocent Hoffa has pleaded innocent to a federal grand jury indictment handed down last May 16 after what Kennedy termed an "exten sive, investigation by the FBI. The indictment also named Commercial Carriers Inc., of De troit, a nationwide automobile transport firm, and the late Owen (Bert) Brennan, former Team sters vice president. The grand jury charged that Hoffa and Brennan collected $1,008,057 from Commercial Car ries through Test Fleet, another automobile hauling concern formed here in 1949. Commercial Carriers has en tered a plea of no contest, which is expected to complicate Hoffa's defense. In issuing the plea, the company will not defend itself and places itself at the mercy of the court. The indictments charge Hoffa with violating a provision of the Taft-Hartley Act which prohibits a representative of employes, such as a union, from demanding or accepting payments from em ployers except for wages and other specified purposes.
