Of a debtors salary.
The hearings were recessed
on q negative note as Chairman
Abernathy, Democrat of Missis-
sippi. expressed concern that
even the 10 per cent bill might
protect "deadbeat" debtors at

But the author of the 10 per
cent bill, Chairman Mcmillan
Of the full District Committee,
already is on record in favor of
the Dowdy bill in preference to
his own measure.
The Mcmillan measure is

man who worked for more than
two years in the stores collec-

to Representative Dowdy, Dem
ocrat Of Texas. last May after

After reading O memorandum

Mr.. Dowdy explained he

him against possible criminal

agreed to grant the man i'm

Injunction OK.
On Vote Rights
Expects Jury Trial
Will Be Denied;
Not Sure of Sec. III
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland predicted yesterday
the Senate will approve use Of
Federal injunctions to enforce
voting rights without adding a
jury trial amendment for vio-
lators.
But he was less certain Of
what will happen to the con-
troversial Section III Of the
civil rights bill. which would
allow the Attorney General to
use the Injunction weapon to
protect a variety of other rights,
including racial Indignation In
schools and public places.
With a showdown expected by
Tuesday on Section III, Senator
Knowland would say only that
he expects a CLOSE" vote. The
roll call will come on the mo-
ton Of Senators Anderson.
Democrat Of New Mexico, and
Republican of Vermont,
to strike it out.
Others Sec Majority
Other reliable sources believe
Section III will be knocked out
by q substantial majority. If
this happens the remainder of
the civil rights battle will re-
volve around whether to allow
jury trials in connection with
lnjunctions issued under the
remaining (Section IV) voting
rights section.
Senator Knowland said there
are "a considerable number of
Senators who don't
want outright repeal of Section
III. but who might vote for
repeal If a satisfactory COM
promise is not presented"
Despite this indication that
a compromise might help save
the section. leaders of the coali-
ton Of Republicans and North
ern Democrats supporting the
House bill decided Friday to
abandon compromise efforts for
the time being. They were hav-
ing difficulty in agreeing how
far to go.
KnOwland Leaves Open Door
Senator Knowland left the
door open yesterday for pos
sible revival of these compro-
mise efforts over the week end,

own initiative in seeking in

places and other rights. These
powers are contained in section
3 of the bill.
No Compromise Found
Senators Anderson, Demo-
crat Of New Mexico, and Aiken,
Republican of Vermont, have
proposed striking this section
from the bill. That would con-
fine the measure largely to
voting rights. The Attorney
General could ask injunctions
to prevent violations or threat

and anybody disregarding the
injunctions could be punished
by a Federal judge without

Broad Probe Of Hoffa
by Senators
UnionAHuirs
In NewY
In Spotlight
By CECIL HOLLAND

Senate Investigators yester-
day began shaping UP a broad
investigation of James r. Hofa
with new inquiries into Team
sters Union affairs in New York
and other places.
Hoffa. who was acquitted last
week Of bribery and conspiracy,
is expected to figure prominent-
ly in the New York investiga-
ton.
The short. stocky, tough
talking Hoffa emerged from
the trial as the strong man Of
the embattled Transfers
Union. Many believe he can
grab OF the presidency of the
union for himself or dictate
the successor to retiring Dave
Beck.
The New York inquiry was
held UP by the Senate Com
mittee investigating improper
activities in labor-management
relations while Hoffa's trial was
under way here on charges that
he bribed John eye Cheasty,
New York lawyer, to furnish
him secret reports on the COM
mittee's work.
To Follow Textile Probe
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
OF Arkansas, the committee
chairman. said the New York
inquiry will get under way
soon. He said he would an
nounce the starting date when
the committees investigation
Of the United Textile Workers
Union Of America is completed,
probably by the middle Of this
week.
Senator Mcclellan said that
Hoffa, one Of the most powerful
figures in the l.5-million-mem.
Der Transfers Union as presi.
dent of its Midwestern Con-
ference. just might" be a wit
ness in the New York inquiry.
The investigation, according
to committee officials, will in.
volve hoodlum infiltration Of
some Teamsters and other local
unions. collision between some
unions and management, and
other abuses including paper
localS"-having officers but no
members. Among other things.
paper locals" according to the
committees information, have
been used to influence some
union elections.
Committee Counsel Robert p.
Kennedy said more than 100
witnesses will be called In pub
lie hearings expected to last
for a month or six weeks.
Johnny DiO Involved
The investigations, it was
said. will involve John (Johnny
Dio) Dioguardi. New York
hoodlum. and his connections
with the Teamsters and other
unions.
Indications that the COM
mittee. disappointed in Hoffa's
acquittal on the bribery and
conspiracy charges, has broad
ened its investigation Of his
activities were given yesterday.
Harold Gibbons. Teamsters
Union Leader in st. Louis and
a close friend Of Hoffa, was
called in for questioning by
committee aides in what might
be d prelude to public hearings
eventually on another Team
ster front.
The investigations could
have a bearing on the struggle
for power within the Team
sters Union over a successor to
Dave Beck as the organiza-
tons president. In the wake of
the committees disclosures
about his financial affairs and
charges that he misused more
than 100000 Of union funds
for his own benefit, Beck has
announced that he would not
seek reelection.
