Wednesday, January 30, 1963 Hoffa Demands Probe Of 'Pressure Tactics' That Halt Union Bonding WASHINGTON (UPI) -r Team sters President James R. lloffa asked Congress today to investi gate his charge that the Justice Department used pressure tactics to discourage insurance compan ies from bonding teamster offi cials. In a letter to the House and Senate Labor committees, Hoffa said the move was" designed to1 force teamster officials out of of fice. UnHer tlic Landrum-Griffin Labor Act, union officials must be bonded to protect the rank and file from misappropriation of funds. Hoffa said the Teamsters Union has been turned down by 280 bond ing companies because of what he Dog Club Scholarship Aids Deserving Youth . John A. Schmitz, Mount Angel Ore., is one lad who received a scholarship at a time when he needed it most. Schmitz, the recipient ot a $350 idiolarship established by the Klamath Dog Fancier's Club, re lated his experience in a letter r . : v - : j JOHN A. SCHMITZ of appreciation . written to the club in care of Mrs. Betty J. Al len, treasurer. The scholarship was awarded to Schmitz last December on the recommendation of Harry A. Ionard, a local veterinarian, to ward completion of his studios in veterinary school at tlie Universi ty of Colorado. It was the second consecutive year a scholarship was awarded to a veterinary stu dent by the club. In his letter to Mrs. Allen, Schmitz wrote, "When Dr. Mor gan showed me Die telegram (an nouncing the awarding of t h c scholarship) he had received from you, I could scarcely believe it. I even made him give llie telegram to me so that I could take it home and look nt it again. At that time, I was literally on my way to see . . . about a loan for next term." A third year student in veter inary school, Schmitz is a gradu ate of Mount Angel Preparatory School, where ho served as stu dent body president and w a s named to the all-conference foot ball squad. Soon after he enrolled at Ore gon State University, where he remained before being admitted to the veterinary college two years later. Schmitz is a member of the Phi Zcla Veterinarian Scholastic Hon or Society and was elected alb letic chairman of the veterinary school. With luck, a lot of work and a few prayers," Schmitz said he will graduate in the spring of next year. Then he intends to ful fill his military obligation, after which he will return to Oregon and establish a veterinary prac tice. Passenger Lands Plane Safely When Pilot Dies CHEYENNE. Wyo.

"Suddenly the pilot slumped over and we were headed toward tlie ground at a sleep angle with our air speed increasing. 'Pull up! Pull up! I hollered. Les instinctively took over the controls. He grabbed the wheel and pulled It straight back. We had enough air speed so that we went right back up. "We later estimated we missed tlie. ground by alwut two feet. It was very, very close." Peterson, an assistant project manager tor American bridge, had never handled tlie controls of an aircraft before "I had full control of the air plane alter 1 got it back in tlie air." Peterson said. "I began to exeriment with (tie plane and its controls. Then I contacted our mobile unit which acted as a go lielwecn with as and loins Do-menico."

Hoffa said tlie license of one bonding company to do business in tlie District of Columbia was revoked after it agreed to insure the teamsters. In another instance. he said, representatives of tlie Justice and Labor departments called on a bonding company ne gotiating with the teamsters in an effort to get lliem to drop llie business. Hoffa urged that Congress amend the Landrum-Griffin Law to require insurance companies to bond all officials eligible to hold office as long as tlie union can provide adequate collateral. He said tlie bond now covering union officials expires Feb. 8. In urging the investigation, Hof fa said it would give Congress a chance to look into "what appears to be improper interference exert ed by tlie attorney general and the Labor Department. Hoffa said tlie pressure against the bonding companies is a "sc nous, abuse of congressional in tent" in the Landrum - Griffin Law. In his list of alleged pressure tactics. Hoffa said the union was bonded by United Benefit of Omaha, Neb., but the bond was suddenly canceled in IflBl, "This company's license was re voked" in the District of Colum bia, he said. After tlie company dropped the Teamsters Union, Hoffa said, the license was rein stated. The teamsters then took tlieir business to tlie Resolute Insurance Company of Providence, R.I. The firm carried the bond for a year and a half, then dropped tlie agreement without explanation. Hoffa said. This was the linn. Hoffa said, that received a 'visit from representatives of tlie Labor and Justice departments. . iUita i. . ,is iff ,: l full Vvu " n in U !r--P" ' V;.: T id-:.- ' ' If - y '. ' - i X . . , , , U "N.

Novotny, manager of the Portland Veterans Administration Regional Office, rc)oitcd. This compares with 22,735.000, the all-time high in national vet erans population, in March 1958. It will be approximately the year 2008 before the total drops to 4,- 429,000, the population level figure on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. ' Looking ahead and barring fu ture wars, Novotny said that VA estimates show that the veterans' population total will dip below the 20 million mark in 1972 or 1973. By '19B0, it is expected that there will lie about I7.C41 ,000 vet erans still alive and by 1990 the number will be down to i:.689,0O0. In 2000 there will be 8.657,000 veterans alive. They are expected to consist of about 5,220.000 World War II veterans, 3.4:15,000 Korean Conflict veterans and 2,000 World War I veterans. Spanish-American War veterans, now about 24,000 strong, will be gone from the American scene by 1087 or r.ii, barring a handful of exceptionally long-livod individ uals. There may be some few score World War I veterans still alive by 2010. and World War II and Korean Conflict veterans are expected to be with us in small numbers by 2010.
