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.

Speed-Up in Salvage of Windblown
Timber Asked by Senate Committee
Salem-iuTfl - A memorial
pressing federal departments
to speed up salvage of wind
blown timber in Oregon was
unanimously approved Thurs
day by the Senate Committee
on Planning and Develop
ment. 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

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.

(D-Port Orford) whose area
was one of the worst hit by
the storm.
Back said he believes the
entire forest industry, includ

cause of the dangers of letting
the downed trees rot.
The bill by Sen. Thomas

modern equivalent of the Ro

president pro tempore, said
flatly: "I don't think any
change whatever snould be
made in the death penalty
law."
Republican John F. McCar

as he has done in the past
because "I sincerely believe
that the death penalty is a
deterrent to crime."
