Court Told Hoffa
Not Involved in
Jury Bribe Try
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPI)-
Teamsters President James n.
Hoffa played no part in an al
leged jury bribing attempt
which led to the disbarmment of
a orominent local attorney, a
U.S. District Court was told in
a secret hearing Thursday.
Judge William E. MUler dis
closed that attorney Z. T. Os
bora Jr., told him Hoffa was
unaware of an attempt to bribe
a prospective juror for Hoffa's
Jan. 6 jury tampering trial.
Osborn testified at a closed
door hearing held Tuesday in
Miller's office. The attorney
was disbarred from federal
court the following day but has
announced plans to appeal.
Things To Siy
"There are things that must
be said on my side of the mat
ter, and I will have an oppor
tunity to say these things in
due course," Osborn said in a
statement released through
Teamsters Union headquarters
in Washington Thursday.
Osborn refused to talk with
reporters in Washington. "This
is not a matter than can be
fought in the press," his state
ment said. "It is a matter for
litigation." 1
The disbarment was on the
ground that Osborn attempted
to offer a $10,000 bribe to Ralph
Elliott of Springfield. Tens.
one of 36 prospective jurors.
Elliott, who the court said was
"blameless," never was . ap
proached. ,. ,
It was learned that the Jus
tice Department is investigating
the possibility of attempts to in
fluence others selected for pos
sible jury duty in the upcoming
......
noiia iriai.
Auk For Continuance
Hoffa's attorneys are expect
ed to ask early next week for
a continuance and renew their
charges that Hoffa cannot get
a fair trial here because of
"adverse publicity."
Federal Judge Frank . Gray
Jr., has indicated, however, the
oft-delayed trial will not again
be postponed.
Hoffa. who has been repre
sented by Osborn since sept, s,
1962. is accused along with six
others of attempting to fix the
jury which tried him here last
year on charges of sharing in
a i 1 million payoff from a
trucking firm. He could receive
up to $25,000 fine and 25 years
imprisonment U convicted.
Thornton Blamed
For Prolonging
Special Session
SALEM (UPI) - House Re
publican Minority Leader F. E.
Montgomery Thursday blamed
Democratic Atty. Gen. Robert
Y. Thornton for prolonging the
Senate Okays Debt
lit Increase
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Only
President Kennedy's signature
was needed today to legally
hike the national debt ceiling to
$315 billion - the third such
boost this year. ,
The Senate, on a vote 'of 50
to 26, approved the increase
Thursday over the dire warn
ings of fiscal conservatives. The
outcome was never in doubt. :
, Final passage came after the
Senate first defeated on a 44-33
vote an amendment bv Sen
John J. Williams, R-Del., to
nom tne dent limit to $313.4 bil
lion. A similar move by Wil
liams was . rejected in the
Senate Finance Committee.
The bill, the third extension
this year of the temporary debt
limit, Increases the present $309
billion ceiling by $6 billion to
carry the Treasury through un
til next June 29.
If Congress had not acted,
the limit would have fallen au
tomatically on Nov. 30 to the
permanent ceiling of $285 billion
far below the limit required
by fiscal managers if the gov
ernment is to pay its bills, .

Boardman project to the Veter
ans Affairs agency.
Tne opinion was due -today.

Catholic Council
Approves Modern
Language Usage
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Th e
Ecumenical Council, in the first
final action on any major issue
since it was convened more
than a year ago, today over
whelmingly approved the use of
modern languages instead of
Latin in most forms of Roman
Catholic worship.
The council fathers voted
2,158 to 19 in a final vote pre
ceding promulgation of the dog
matic constitution by Pope Paul
VI in a ceremony expected next
week.
The pontiff will act on the
document at public session. An
open vote at that time by the
council fathers is considered a
formality, i
Last week the council con.
eluded a document on social
communications, but compared
to the dogmatic constitution on
the liturgy, that is considered
a secondary decree'.
Final votes
The document on liturgy has
seven chapters. Its general aim
is to modernize the forms of
worship for greater understand
ing. It is the result of two years
of preparatory .. commission
work, 15 full general meetings
at the council last year, subse
quent, revisions in commission
and a final series of, votes at
the current council session.
One of the chapters allows for
the use of modern languages to
replace Latin in baptisms, con
firmations, confessions, , com
munions, marriages, . holy or
ders (ordaining of priests) and
extreme unction.
The important reforms of the
document regarding the Mass
are contained in the second
chapter, which is long and com
plex. Its most widely hailed
regulation authorizes bishops to
permit the use of modern spok
en languages, from English to
Swahili, in large parts of the
Mass. -
Although technically the
canon, or central part or tne
Mass, is supposed to remain in
Latin, the document opens the
way for its celebration eventual
ly in the language of the wor
shipers. The chapter stresses that
"the people should not be idle
or silent spectators at this mys
tery of faith, but should take a
conscious, active part."
Baker Confident He
Will Come Out All
Right After Probe
WASHINGTON (UPI) - For-
mer Senate official Robert G.
(Bobby) Baker, target of a
wide-ranging investigation of
his "outside activities," was
said today to feel he is going
to come out "all right" when
the dust settles.
This was reported in a dis
patch by Kenneth Schelbel,
Washington correspondent for
the Puerto Rican newspaper,
El Mundo, who interviewed one
of Baker's close friends.
The friend, who asked not to
be identified, told of a chat he
had with Baker. It concerned
the current investigation into
Baker s outside business inter
ests while he held the $19,600-
a-year post of Senate Demo
cratic secretary.
Baker resigned under fire
Oct. 7. Since that time he has
refused to comment publicly on
the reports of his many activi
ties other than to file a formal
deniel in a law suit and to en
ter a disclaimer in an action in
volving his alleged non-payment
of District of Columbia in
come taxes,
"I'm in good shape on in
come taxes," Baker was quot
ed as saying. "They can't get
me there." Baker has claimed
he was an official of the feder
al government thus he did not
have to pay D.C. taxes. Dis
trict tax officials said Baker
was a federal employe, not an
official, and owed the taxes.
The friend said Baker be
lieves "the press is not doing
me justice some of the stor
ies are unnecessary." Baker
was quoted as saying that
"some vicious stories. . .make
me sick." He said his lawyers
had advised him against com
menting directly on any of the
reports, however.
Expressed Hope
Baker gave no clue as to
whether he might "name some
names" when he is called to
testify before Senate investigate
ors. nut nc did icii nis menu
"when tilings unravel, 1 11 oe
all right." He also expressed
the hope that he could remain
in Washington. -
The friend said that if Baker
had lost any sleep over his
problems he did not show it. He
appeared calm and self-assured
as usual and spoke quietly.
The widow of Baker's one
time partner in a plush $1.2
million Maryland motel testi
fied before a closed-door ses
sion of the Senate Rules Com
mittee Thursday and was said
to have opened up "certain
avenues" of information for the
senators.
Sen. B. Everett Jordan, D
N.C., chairman of the commit
tee, passed that word to news
men after the committee ques
tioned the widow, Mrs. Ger
trude C. Novak, for three
hours. Mrs. Novak also partici
pated in some Baker transactions.
