Appeal by Hoffa on Subpoenas
Washington - (UPD - The
Supreme Court refused toda
to listen to an appeal by
Teamsters' Union President
James R. Hoffa who had been
prevented from calling sev
eral cabinet members to testi
ly in a Florida fraud proceed
ing. The court's brief order
leaves standing a decision
agninst Hoffa handed down
last June 1 by the 5th U.S
Circuit Court of Appeals.
The 5th Circuit ruled that
Hoffa could not properly ap
peal the quashing of subpoe
nas directed to Atty Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy and form
er Labor Secretary Arthur
Goldberg, among others.
Hoffa wanted to call Ken
nedy and the others to pre
trial proceedings in connec
tion with a motion to dismiss
the Indictment of the team
ster boss and Robert E. Mc
Carthy Jr., a former branch
manager of the Bank of the
Commonwealth In Detroit.
. An earlier Indictment was
dismissed by U.S. District
Judge Joseph P. Lieb of Or
lando on the ground that the
grand jury was not propciy
constituted.

that a second indictment, re
turned by an Orlando grand
jury last Oct. 11, also is faul

er things, that government
officials deliberately spok?
out against Hoffa when they
knew the grand jury was look

Lieb, however, on May 23,
1962, refused to upset the
second indictment. He had
quashed the subpoenas earli
er. Meantime, Hofta went to
trial today in Nashville
Tenn., on separate charges of
a $1 million conspiracy in
volving illegal business deals.

Decision Said
Caused by Ships
Being Scattered
Washington fUPIt The De
fense Department today an
nounced "cancellation" of an
amphibious maneuver in
which more than 6,000 Ma
rines were to have landed at
Vieques island near Puerto
Rico Tuesday.
A Pentagon spokesman at
tributed the decision to the
scattering of ships assigned
to the maneuver by a Carib
bean hurricane.
The department did not vol
unteer the information. It
made the announcement after
being asked about news dis
patches from Puerto Rico.
"The landings have been
cancelled," the spokesman
said.
Asked whether they would
be staged later, he said he did
not know. He said hurricanes
"scattered the ships."
Mysterious Atmoiphen
The cancellation came amid
a mysterious, crisis atmos
phere here.
Assistant Defense Secretary
Arthur Sylvester told report
ers this morning there had
been a "misrelationship" be
tween the big Caribbean ma
neuver and "anything else."
He made the statement a
few minutes before one of his
assistants checked and found
that the Vieques island land
ings for Tuesday had been
cancelled. More than 20,000
Navy and Marine personnel
and 40 ships had been assem
bled for the maneuver.
Air Mobility Test
Sylvester said 1.200 Ma
rines from Camp Pendleton
and El Toro, Calif.; were mov
ed into the Caribbean exer
cise area in an air mobility
test as part of the maneuver.
He was asked whether there
was any current ban on re
porters visiting military in
stallations in this country. He
said there was not as far as
he knew.
The Navy on Defense De
partment orders, recently
moved 12 supersonic Phantom
jet fighters into Boca Chica
Naval Air Station near Key
West, Fla. The base is about
90 miles from Cuba.
Sylvester said he knew of
no other recent build-up in
Florida.
Enttrpriit Leavts
He said he thought the nu
clear powered aircraft carrier
Enterprise had departed Nor
folk, Va., last week to join
the Caribbean maneuver. It
was reported at the time that
the Enterprise put to sea to
avoid Hurricane Ella.
Asked whether the maneu
ver had any relationship to
mysterious developments in
Washington over the week
end, Sylvester said "none
whatever.
Branchfield Lauds
Service Officers
"The most important vet
erans today are those who
think of themselves as busi
ness and civic leaders," Ed
ward Branchfield, chairman
of the advisory committee to
the state department of vet
erans' affairs, said in a speech
before county service officers
at Seaside recently.
Branchfield said he be
lieved veterans should stop
asking the federal govern
ment for benefits solely on the
basis of their war service.
"Those in need because of
their military service should
certainly be taken care of by
the government," Branchfield
said, "but those of us who are
able to care for ourselves
should do so."
Branchfield, a Medford
lawyer, was the guest speaker
at the semi-annual conference
of the Oregon County Vet
erans' Service Officers asso
ciation. He praised the county
service officers for their ef
forts in counseling and aiding
Oregon's war veterans.
"The first of these county
service officers." Branchfield
said, "was Hush Gould of
Josephine county. Gould was
appointed to help veterans in
1944. a year before the end
of World War 11. Today, be
cause of hia fine record, Ore
gon has service officers in 33
of the 36 counties, helping
veterans and their dependents
and survivors obtain the bene
fits granted them by a grate
ful government."
Decision Near on Atte
To Do Away With 'Fe
Chicago - 0)71 - The nation's
railroads may learn today
whether they can keep on
track or be derailed in their
attempt to get rid of "feather-
bedding jobs.
The U.S. Court of Appeals
is to consider an appeal by
five on-train, or operating,
brotherhoods for a permanent
injunction to prevent 195 of
the nation's carriers from
mpt by Railroads
atherbedding' Jobs
initiating the many work rule
changes.
Court action against the
brotherhoods probably would
result in the calling of a na
tionwide strike and possibly
White House intervention. But
court action against the rail
roads would bring about fur
ther, prolonged court litigation.
