water has ran down Forest creek
in the 60 years since the begin
ning of our friendship."
Another reunion taking place

Mrs. Nina Fryer who recently
broke her arm is now at home.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Welch,
their son. Charles, and daugh

As Potppourri stated in her
column last week at the end of
her recent adventuresome trav
els (which we avidly followed)
"the best past of a vacation trip
is getting home safe and sound."
to which our travelers agree, al
though not everybody gets ac
companied home, as was Pot

Some of the catches included
a 37-inch Chinook salmon that
weighed 17 Vi pounds, hooked
by Homer Vinzant. Hoskins
brought in a 39-inch 21V4-pound
Chinook, thereby winning the
jackpot for the largest fish
caught on the trip.
Several of the others reported
catches of silver salmon and
black snappers. It was also re
ported by reliable source that
several members of the fishing
party were more than relieved
to reach shore after the day's
outing.

were callers one day this week
Teamsters Union
Ejection Chances
Said To Increase
Washington IW Chances
of the Teamsters Union will be
thrown out or will pull out of
the AFL-CIO before the year is
over increased Saturday.
The split between the parent
organization and the big truck
drivers' union widened with
these developments:
AFL-CIO sources indicated
that Teamster Vice President
James F. Hoffa, who appeared
to have the inside track for the
union presidency soon to be va
cated by Dave Beck, would be
unacceptable as head of an AFL
CIO union.
A Teamsters spokesman
said his union's executive board
won't be able to attend a hear
ing before the AFL-CIO ethical
practices committee this week
on corruption charges against
the union.
President Disappointed
Hoffa and supporters from
three of the Teamsters' four di
visions started a campaign to
seek repudiation of the AFL
CIO's policy against use of the
Fifth Amendment by union offi
cials to avoid testifying in con
gressional investigations of la
bor corruption.
AFL-CIO President George
Meany and the AFL-CIO ethical
practices committee were said
to be disappointed at the failure
of so-called reform forces among
the Teamsters to force a house
cleaning. Nearly three months ago the
committee made it clear that the
Teamsters would have to get rid
of Beck and Vice Presidents
Frank Brewster of Seattle and
Sidney Brennan of Minneapolis
to remain in the good graces of
the AFL-CIO. All three still hold
office although Beck has an
nounced he will not seek reelec
tion at the union's Sept. 30 con
vention. A scheduled meeting of the
Teamsters executive board to
weigh charges against the three
has been postponed time and
again and now is set for Aug. 5
in Los Angeles.
