Salem - IUPII - A hill intro duced In the House today to limit the legislative session to 90 days drew quick skepti cism and even a few chuckles from legislative leaders. Several lawmakers, Includ ing sponsors of the bill, said they doubted the measure would reach the floor for action. If it did, they added, such a law would be ineffective, since a special session could be called immediately follow ing the go days until the legis lature's business was finished. 'Mailer of Principle Rep. George Annala (D Hood River) said he regarded the bill more as a "matter of principle." . Annala predicted, however, the session might end soon after 100 days, and added he did not think the legislature would stick around In a wran gle over reapportionment if that were the only unfinished matter. Such a decision would place remapping of legislative representation in the hands of the secretary of state. Rep.

JAMES HOFFA Clashes Verbally (UPI Telephoto) Hoffa Charges 'Doctoring' of Tape Recording Washington -IUPII- Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa charged before Senate investigators today that he be lieves that a tape recording allegedly linking him with a New York racketeer was de liberately "doctored." Hoffa voiced the charge as he clashed verbally again with Chairman John L. Mc- Clellan (D-Ark.) of the Senate permanent subcommittee o n investigations. Arjariment Buqaed According to New York po lice, the tape recording was obtained when they bugged the apartment of racketeer Antonio (Tony Ducks) Corallo the night of June 30, 1BSB Two teamster officials, pur nortedlv relaying orders from Hoffa to Corallo, quoted Hoffa as saying: "I don't care if you want to steal, you want to rob, go ahead . . . (but) don t get caught, don't get caught." Hnffu contended todav that the tape was unintelligible 19 times in the passage from which the quote was taken and might not mean what it appeared to mean at all. May Have Dropped Words The labor lender said words might have been deliberately dropped where it s conven ient." Rut even If the statement was made by the teamster of ficial, Hoffa declared, "I still say he's a liar!" Hoffa vehemently protested discussion about the tape re cording and challenged mc Clellnn to debate before a group of lawyers on the use of such evidence by a con gressional investigating com mittee. McClcllan snapped back: "You gel your officers to stop taking the fifth amend ment when they come up here and I'll debate you anywhere." Close Vote Seen ' In Proposal To Add Members Washington - (UPlf -Some backers of Speaker Sam Ray burn conceded today he might lose his battle to liberalize the House Rules Committee, leav ing the fate of President Ken nedy's legislative program partly in the hands of un friendly conservatives. Impartial surveys indicated the outcome would be close in the House vote Thursday on Rayburn's proposal to add three new members to the rules committee in order to break the domination of a con servative GOP-Southern Dem ocratic coalition. Potential Threat Supporters of rules commit tee chairman and coalition leader Howard W. Smith (D- Va.) claimed enough votes to defeat the speaker by a nar row margin. This would be a crushing blow to the 79-year old Rayburn's prestige and would pose a potential threat to Kennedy s program. A UPI poll indicated that Rayburn had nailed down no more than 37 of the 99 South ern Democratic votes. If all House members were present, this would mean the Speaker would heed at least 19 GOP votes to go with his Northern and Western Democratic sup port. Keeping Hands Off One big question mark was whether Kennedy would take a hand In the struggle. Ray burn indicated after a White House conference Tuesday crats that their prospects for banking, finance, commerce expected.
