Hof fa Indicted on 3
Charges of Bribery
WASHINGTON . James R.
(Jimmy) Hoffa, bouncy little big
shot of the Teamsters Union, to
day faced an indictment accusing
him of conspiring and bribing to
get secrets of the Senate's racket
probers.
Named codefendant with the
44-year-old Hoffa is Hyman I.
Fischbach, Miami attorney who
in the past has served as counsel
to congressional investigating
committees.
Chairman McClelian (D-Arlt) of
the special Senate committee
probing labor union activities said
he was gratified at the prompt
indictment. He expressed the hope
Hoffa and Fischbach will be tried
"at an early date."
Fiscbback said in Miami that
"when I am tried, 1 shall be ex
onerated.". He said he had been
retained . by Hoffa "but not for
anything even remotely connect
ed with the accusation."
Hoffa himself rested on his
statement after his arrest a week
ago tonight in which he vowed he
was innocent of wrongdoing and
said he will "fight this case until
1 am cleared."
The three-count indictment
against Hoffa and Fischbach was
returned late yesterday before
Federal Dist. Judge Richmond B.
heech.
defendants to answer.
In brief, here are the charges,
with maximum penalties if convicted:
1. Conspiracy to bribe, con
sniracv to obstruct operations of
the McClcllan committee, and
conspiracy to defraud the United
States "of and concerning its leg
islative and governmental func
tions and rights;" five years in
prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
2. Bribery by giving John Cye
Cheasty, a member of the com
mittee staff, $2,000 "to influence
and induce him to divulge" com
mittee secrets and to turn over
documents, papers and memoran
da from its files; three years plus
three times the amount of the
bribe. The FBI says Cheasty re
ported the alleges bribe and co
operated fully in the investigation
leading to Hoffa's arrest.
3. Obstructing and impeding
the committee's "due and proper
exercise of the power of in
quiry;" five years, a $5,000 fine,

WASHINGTON - A big new
rocKtet engine, using solid instead
of hard-to-handle liquid fuel for
re. powering an intermediate- range
oamsuc missuc, nas ascn aevei
oped and put under test.
This was disclosed today in a
routine annual report to stock
holders by the General Tire Co.,
which seemed to contain consid
erably more information about
some weapons than has been an
nounced by the Defense Depart
ment. The report said the new
rocket motor went into its testing
stage iast October.
The motor was designed by the
company's Aerojet-General Corp.
and, said the report, is the larg
est solid propellent power plant
ever used m any ballistic mis
sile." The motor was developed
lor the Jupiter IRBM, the com
pany reports.
However. Army experts told a!
newsmnn that Jupiter IRBM pro-1
gram does not now inclusfe use of
a solid instead of liquid fuel. This!
appeared to indicate the new1
rocket engine may be intended!
tor use by the Navy in its Polaris
IRBM. The Navy started out with '
the Army on joint development ef
the Jupiter, but a few months ago
announced plans to go ahead with
its own project.
For reasons of handling and
stowage aboard ships at sea, the
Navy favors a solid fuel instead
of the fuming nitric acid and ox
idizer used generally in Army and
Air Force ballistic missiles. i
