Hoffa Directed
To Follow Orders
ForUnion Cleanup
Washington '- (UPD - A U.S.
Court of Appeals, ruled today
that Teamsters President
James . R. Hoffa must carry
out a sweeping cleanup pro
gram ordered for his huge
union by a special board of
monitors.
The three -judge court, in
rejecting the union's appeal
against the program, said
that while the monitors have
only advisory power, they
have the right to do to federal
courts to enforce recommen
dations if the teamsters prove
defiant.
Gives Veto Power
Today's ruling also gave
Federal Judge F. Dickinson
Letts veto power over a spec
ial teamster convention which
Hoffa . called to get rid of
the monitors.
On another phase of the dis
pute, the appeals court sug
gested that one of the moni
tors, Godfrey D. Schmidt,
should be replaced because
as an attorney for employers
dealing with the teamsters he
is involved in a "conflict of
interests."
In general, the ruling up
held roughly a dozen clean
up directives issues by the
monitors and approved by
Letts. However, it said Letts
should spell out the. changes
he wants the union to make
rather than merely approve
the monitors' action.
