Newspaper Page Textr GtoffrG Teamster Boss Says Pressures Being Applied Washington -NTS- Teamster President James Hoffa told a congressional committee to day that federal officials are trying to put his union "out of business" by pressuring in surance companies to deny It surety bonds required by law. Hoffa testified under oath before the House Labor com mittee. The group had agreed to hear his complaint at a closed - door meeting, but threw it open to the public at the last minute. . The committee also invited appearances by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, an old Hoffa foe, and Labor Secre tary Willard Wlrtt. They sent aides instead. Charon Mad ' The hearings grew out of charges Hoffa made in a letter to the committee earlier this week. He claimed the two fed eral agencies were making It impossible for the teamsters to buy surety bonds on their officials. , The Landrum-Grlffln Labor Law requires such bonds for union officials who handle membership funds. Hoffa outlined several spe cific charges of alleged pres sure in his letter. But he dis claimed personal' knowledge of any of the Incidents during Jhis sworn testimony today. ; "I personally have, not handled bonding," the team sters leader said. "I have not checked the facts and the in formation is from what I have been told." : Hoffa's disclaimer brought tobjectlona from several com mittee members who said his testimony would be of little use If it were based entirely on hearsay evldencee. But the committee decided to proceed on the basis that Hoffa would be required to Identify the sources of h. information. : The union: leader said the situation was "the latest at tempt of the Department of Justice to force bonding com panies to do whet courts have refused to put the teamsters out of business." '. Hoffa said most of his In formation about the troubles the union has had came to him from Allan Dorfman, a Chi cago Insurance man. 1 t He said Dorfman handles health and welfare policy for the Central States Teamster Conference and was trying to help the international union obtain bonds for its officers. Rep. Frank Thompson told Hoffa that one of the charges in his letter appeared Incor rect. Thompson said the United Benefit Co. of Omaha, Neb., which cancelled its teamster bonds in 1061, lost its license to operate in the District of Columbia and never received a new one. In his letter, Hoffa said United Benefit had been rellcensed when it dropped the teamsters. Portland Zoo Fails To Attract Visitors Porlland-ttirD-Not a single visitor passed through the gates at the Portland zoo Wednesday or Thursday, di rector Jack Marks said. But he said the animals didn't seem to mind the snow and Ice. : The penguins were pleased as punch and evehHie hlppo potsraus seemed to enjoy It.

The effect would be to give the smaller logging operator a greater share in handling IS billion board feet of tim ber felled in the 1902 Colum bus Day storm. Senate action on the me morial is expected next week. The memorial asks Congress to instruct the Departments of Agriculture and Interior to initiate new salvage policies in forest lands managed by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. A key change would be par celing the salvage timber out in small lots manageable by California Legislators To Test Brown's Proposal for Moratorium on Death Penalty Sacramento-WPP- California legislators returned home for a long week end today to test local sentiment on Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown's pro posal for a four-year morator ium on the death penalty. But Initial sentiment ran strongly against Brown. Leadership of the state sen ate was particularly outspok en in opposition to the gov ernor's limited moratorium Snow Surveying May Be By New Sensor Everett, Wash.- Snow sur veying may soon become an armchair job. This prospect stems from a contract recently awarded by the department of agriculture asking Electro-Chemical Cor poration, Evarett, Wash., to design, construct and field- test a prototype remotely op erated electronic snow-water content sensor. . The snow sensor and a tele metering system, both devel oped by the firm, are key elements In a program for automating snow surveys In the United States and other countries. Presently about 1,500 snow courses are operated by the U.S. department of agricul ture as measuring sites. More than 1,200 men are retained for the job. Other government agencies and utility compan ies also collect snow data. A.system of automatic mcMuring stations would per mit Irrigation, hydroelectric power and flood forecasts to be made more accurately and economically without the use of men on skis, snowshocs, Sno Cats and helicopters. The sensor will be Installed on Ml. Hood, Oregon, for months of field operation, along with the firm's Meteor Echo ultra-power telemeter ing transmitter. The transmit ter will send radio signals to Everett, Wash,, indicating dally snow buildup at the remote site.

Carl Back (D-Port Orford) whose area was one of the worst hit by the storm. Back said he believes the entire forest industry, includ ing large and small opertors, stands behind the proposal be cause of the dangers of letting the downed trees rot. The bill by Sen. Thomas Mahoney (D-Portland) to elim inate the possibility of parole for persons convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison was discussed in the Senate Judiciary com mittee. Mahoney said he realized to end what he called "our modern equivalent of the Ro man circus." Democrat Hugh M. Burns of Fresno, the upper chamber president pro tempore, said flatly: "I don't think any change whatever snould be made in the death penalty law." Republican John F. McCar thy of San Rafael, the minori ty floor leader, promised to vole against the moratorium as he has done in the past because "I sincerely believe that the death penalty is a deterrent to crime."
