BOBBY KENNEDY

cuaed by rumor and hearsay. The Department of Justice
denies these charges.
Now let's take a look at Robert F. Kennedy. Upon
entering the enormous office of the Attorney General on
the third floor of the Department of Justice, you are im
pressed by its majesty. You glance at the water colors and
gay crayon drawings on the paneled walls, unmistakably
done by his younger children, then you notice the six-foot-by-six-foot,
300-pound mahogany desk, behind which
sits the smiling, boyish-looking, ruddy-faced, 37-year-old
Attorney General. He stands up, and now he appears
taller than his five feet-ten. He is coatless and his shir
sleeves are rolled up above his elbows. Because of hi;
powerful forearms, he seems heavier than his 170 pounds
He may have -noticed your glance at the drawings, an
he'll grin and walk easily toward the wall and tell yoi
about them. And if you're an old sports writer sizing hi
up, you are reminded a bit of a young boxing champion!
for Kennedy moves with the same effortless grace.
The General Physical-Fitness Buff
Kennedy is an incurable addict on the subject of phys;
cal fitness. He gets up just after six each morning am
either hops on a horse for an hour's workout, ice skatel
furiously with his older children, or if the weather fr
bad, hurries to the Pentagon to play some tough squash
or handball. When he can't find anyone to join him in some
strenuous physical activity, he will walk a brisk flve-ani-'
a-half miles in an hour (par for any course). And on
Feb. 9, he hiked a celebrated 50 miles in 17 hours!
Bobby has the shoulders of a blacksmith, and if one can
say it without disrespect to a Cabinet member, he has
belly like a washboard. A fight between Kennedy and
Hoffa would be interesting for an aficionado of the sport
to watch.
When Kennedy stops talking about his kids' drawings
" and sits down again behind that big desk to discuss the
problems of the Department of Justice, he no longer seems
boyish. Actually, he now looks older than his 37' years, for
he is deadly earnest about his job. Ethical lawyers seldom
discuss the merits of cases they or their associates are
going to prosecute. So when I asked the Attorney General,
"Are you out to get Jimmy Hoffa? Do you have a special
unit in the Department of Justice to deal with HoffaT"
his answer was predictable:
"No to both questions. But, of course, we have a group
in the Department that is working within the whole
field of labor-management racketeering." f
"Your department has indicted Jimmy Hoffa several
times," I said, "but you never seem to be able to get
conviction."
"That's right," he said, ignoring the implied question
in my statement. "But he's under indictment now. 1
haven't discussed him since I was made Attorney Genera,
and I don't feel that I should get into any discussion now.!
As he talked of some 50 labor racketeers, most from the
ranks of the Teamsters Union, who had not only been in
dicted but tried and convicted during the past two year,
his voice was clipped, cold. His eyes narrowed as he talked
about Teamsters Union men his assistants had sent to jaO
for embezzling union funds, for obstructing justice, for
- transportation of counterfeit bonds, for accepting illegal
payments from employers, for hijacking.
Listening to him now, he neither looked nor sounded
young, and I remembered what one of his assistants hat
told me: "Don't let the Boss fool you. He's the toughest
guy who ever sat in that office."
I'm hot selling either Bobby Kennedy or Jimmy HoffS
short. They are two very tough men and before they art
finished fighting, someone is sure to get hurt
