per cent Of delegates to the
unions coming convention
were illegally handpicked by
Hoffa and his supporters. The
suit seeks court appointment
of a referee to decide when
new delegates have been chosen
by democratic means.
Hoffa has three announced
rivals for the Transfers presi-
dency-Thomas J. Haggerty.
Chicago: Representative John
F. Shelley Democrat Of Cali
formal; and Thorn as L.
Hickey. New York.
Hoffa apparently is well
ahead in delegate strength. The
convention will be attended by
i,846 delegates.
Hoffa lost the support OF two
New York City locals yesterday.
They backed Hickey, who is
an international vice president
of the Teamsters and secretary
treasurer Of Local eO7 in New
York.
Other Possibility
If Hoffa should bow out,
Einar o. Mohn. who has been
administrative vice president Of
the union under Beck. is a
strong presidential possibility.
Beck and Hoffa released in
Miami Beach yesterday their
reply to an AFL-cIO Ethical
Practices Committee report
charging that they and other
Teamster bosses have corruptly
dominated the Ia million
member union.
At the same time, Beck and
Hoffa announced they would
refuse to appear before this
AFL-CIO Executive Council In
New York Tuesday when the
council considers the ethical
practices groups report.
Their rejection Of the Invita-
ton to appear was contained
in a letter from Beck to ALL
CIO President George Meary,

matter to our internationa

conduct charges against him.

said in Florida.
During the week ahead, HofIa
faces new congressional hear
ings into his labor career, two
court appearances. and a pos
sible new blast from AFL-CIO
leaders.
Election In October
All this is scheduled before
the opening Of the Transfers
convention at Miami Beach,
Fla. on September 80. The
convention is expected to elect
union officers October 3 or 4
Dave Back, the current presi-
dent, is retiring. Like Hoffa,
Beck has been deeply involved
in charges Of misusing union
funds and powers.
In one Of the pending court
actions. a group Of Teamstert
members is seeking to- block
elections at the coming conven-
ton. They contend Hoffa and
Beck have rugged the proceed
ings to make sure Of Hoffa'c
election as president. II
Tomorrow Hoffa is due in
New York for arraignment or
q Federal overlapping conspir-
acy indictment. He is charged
with wiring his Detroit union
headquarters to check up on
Transfers subordinates.

hearings into Hofa's affairs
will start here before the SEN

Combined with the fantastic Suez Canal nationaliza-

Right after the Suez seizure last summer, unkosher
Nasser was eating high the hog, had scared into
the limelight as the rallying point for new Arab

His latest move may be desperate bid to offset
leadership since his military rolled over and played
dead before the hard-hittng Israeli army and since
Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud split the Arab League

in the making. And in the interim,
many Uncontrolled refugee serv-

The longtime residents of the
GAIA Strip make up the other seq

even greater reason to appreciate
the Israeli occupation.

the initial organization and relief
work had been accomplished, the
Israeli authorities began to give

who made up the great majority
of the working population.

This view of Israels recent
