LoboF's Hoffo:
Going Places?

James r. Hoffa. volatile ninth
vice president of the 1.5-million-
member Transfers Union, once
was quoted as saying: IT know
where I'm going. know what
I'm going to do. I've been around
43 years and nobody's been lead.
ing me by the hand"
There was no doubt last week
that Jimmy Hoffa knew where
he was going. His destination:
President of the International
Brotherhood Of Transfers, Chauf-
feurs, Warehousemen and Helpers.
While a Senate investigation
committee darkly linked his
name to racketeer Johnny Dio
and his paper" Teamster locals
in New York City, the unconcerned
Mr.. Hoffa was picking UP the
strength he needed for success at
the Miami convention on Sep

workers of an industry that moves
more than 80 per cent of the
Nations needs.
But Mr.. Hoffa himself probably
felt he had little reason to worry,
for by now he might suspect that
he leads an amazingly charmed
life: Only recently he was ac-
quilted Of charges that he tried
to place a spy on the committee
that was investigating him; he
has easily survived five congress
sional investigations in six years:
every move so far-both in and
out Of labor-to check his ever
growing power has only en-
HANGED it.
Last week Sandy O'Brien, a
fourth vice president of the
Teamsters and leader of 1875, 900
members in the Chicago Joint
Council. withdrew as Mr.. Hoffa's
only opposition candidate in the
race" for the presidency. The
effect was to add the strength of
$4,000 teamsters to Mr.. Hoffas
hopes.

Ambitious Plans

If this. among other recent adj
vanceS, was worrying the enemies
OF Detroit's young man i ma

else last week to lose sleep over.
He announced that, if he is chosen
to lead the Transfers, his first OBJ.

that such an undertaking might

Harry Bridges and his West Coast

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Civil Rights: A Cain?

All sOvernment-indeed, every human
benefit and enjoyment. every virtue
end every prudent oet--is founded on
compromise and barter.
Edmund Burke, March u. ITS
For the past four weeks the
United States Senate has been en-
gagged in tortuous give and take
that has given new proof to the
political truth in these words. ut
tered by brilliant British states.
man speaking in behalf of con-
citation with the rebellious Amer
lean colonies.
H.R. 6127. the civil rights bill
that was passed by the House last
month and placed before the Sen
ate, In its original form was q bill
that met most Of the requirements
Of the advanced liberals Of the
East and North. But while it
pleased most Of those Of enc fixed
opinion. it was bitter gall to those
of another, equally infiexible, opin-
ion.
In between these two poles
stood the compromisers. It was
these Senators who. as last week
ended, had made the possibility Of
the first substantial civil rights
act since Reconstruction a distinct
reality.
Quarterback for the compro-
misers was that master of politi-
cal strategy. Majority Leader
Lyndon johnson. who additionally
accomplished the impossible in
averting filibuster on the issue
which Southerners have glee-
fully talked to death so often in
the past.
The bill. as it was presented by
the administration and passed by
the House. would have set up a
Justice Department civil rights di-
vision headed by an additional
assistant attorney general:
created temporary Federal civil
rights commission. and would
have allowed the Attorney Gen.
ersl to seek a court order against
any civil rights violations. Any.
one cited for contempt for fiout-
ing such q court order would have
faced trial in a court without a
jury. And, partially submerged
in the legal jargon of part III Of
the bill was a provision that would
have permitted use Of the bill to
integrate schools and other public
facilities.
This was the bill that Georgia's
Senator Richard Russell and
other Southerners had threatened
would keep the Senate in session
until the snow flies" But it
was also the bill that the BIZ
partisan coalition headed by
Minority Leader William Know
land and Illinois Senator Paul
Douglas had insisted upon as
moderate and minimal.

Nozis Were Sure

The Duke and Duchess were
astonished. But the Nazi agents
were optimistic. it appears from
the documents Just released. The
agents reported to Joachim Won
Ribbentrop. Hitler's Foreign Min
lister, and other Maxi bigwigs that
Windsor sharply disagreed with
Winston Churchill's conduct of
the war. that he was unhappy
about having to 60 to the Ba-
hamas and that the Duke be-
heved war would not have come
had he remained on the throne.
The agents seemed confident
the Duke would seize the bait,
stay in Europe long enough to
become a pawn of Hitler and
turn upon his own people in order
to regain a subjugated throne.
But the Duke not only left for
the Bahamas; he seems to have
kept his ears open and informed
the British Of all that was taking
place. Such is the implication of
a Foreign ONCE statement last
week that the Duke never once
wavered in his loyalty to the
crown In World War II.

Wider Inspection

BY Friday Secretary Dulles had
the support of the other Western
powers. Ready to move, he de-
cided to state the proposition
himself rather than leave the Job
to the American disarmament
negotiator. Harold E. Stassen.
He proposed, as a safeguard
against surprise attacks, that all
Of the United States. all Of Soviet
Russia and most Of Europe be
exposed both to aerial and ground
inspections.
On the assumption that the
SovietS would reject the basic
proposal, the West came forward
with an alternative: Set up an
inspection zone covering Europe
and Arctic areas.
Thus, the United States broad
ened the original open skies"
proposal advanced by President
Eisenhower. And, with the
authority Of his Office, Mr.. Dulles
had grabbed the initiative for the
West in the prolonged disarma-
ment debate. Now it was up to
Moscow to say whether Russia
would be willing to exchange
privileges on q check Of seaports,
rail functions. highways and air
ports in order to spot any war
like activity.
Having presented his case, Sec
rotary Dulles took q plane back
to Washington. When he arrived
yesterday he knew for sure who
won the trophy in the yacht race
at Kingston. But it would be
a long time indeed before he or
anybody else would know who
If anyone-won the round at
London.
The two-part plan was de-
nounced by Valerian A. Zorin. the
Soviet spokesman at London, on
grounds that it failed to meet
Russia's demand for uncondi-
tional suspension Of nuclear tests.
Generally, however. the contious
Red reaction was not as bad a.
some had feared.
At the same time, Moscow was
charging the West with a de-
hberate attempt to scuttle the
disarmament talks by its adamant
stand for the reunification of
Germany.

Guatemala Calm

Across the Caribbean, the solemn
citizens Of Guatemala buried their
assaSsinated young President, Col.
Carlos Castillo Armas, who over.
threw a pro-Communist admins.
tration three years ago. AS the
week ended 10 persons suspected
OF completely in the palace slay-
ing Of the President were on trial.
Outwardly. at least, the Central
American republic seemed stable.
The people appeared to stand be-
hind the acting President, Arturo
Gonzalez. who promised to follow
the tenets Of Castillo Armas until
elections can be held to choose
. successor. Under the constitu.
ton. balloting must take place in
four months.
Farther South, an Argentine
election last Sunday commanded
universal attention. In the first
balloting since Dictator Juan
Peron was thrown out in 1855,
the country picked delegates to
a Constituent Assembly which will
decide whether to revise the coun-
try's constitution. One objective
would be a sharp reduction in
powers Of the executive.
AS things turned out, the 8
million voters chose 118 reform
delegates and only 81 who are
opposed to reform. But despite
this seeming victory for the forces
OF democracy. the total Of blank
ballots (pro-Peron) and Of votes
for DR.. Arturo Frondizi, leader Of
the "intransigent" radicals, who
ran on an open Peronista plat
form, spelled trouble ahead-even
a possible return Of Peron from
exile.

fears Of a death toll in the hun

official count put the total at not

Latin America:
Not Tranquil

In Latin America, as In much Of
the world. there was unrest and
uncertainty. trouble and some
tragedy. Cuba was under strict
military rule. Martial law had
been declared in Guatemala; Ar
gentinians wondered about their
political future. Mexico was
stunned by an earthquake of
maximum intensity.
For the United States, the unrest
in Cuba had unpleasant diplo-
matte implications. The newly
arrived Ambassador of the Essen.
hover administration somehow
found reason to question activities
Of the Cuban police. And for his
pains in thinking out loud, the
voluble supporters Of President
Fulgencio Batista promptly bonn
barded freshman Ambassador Earl
E. T. Smith with criticism.
Mr.. Smith, who had assumed
his duties in Havana only q week
before, was on tour Of Cuba.
Last Wednesday he was in Santi-
ago de Cuba, center of revolu-
tionary ferment. Opponents Of
Gen. Batista decided this was q
good time to stage a demonstra-
ton in which women dressed in
mourning black shouted protests
about the government. The police
broke up their parade and made
a few arrests.
Diplomat Smith, holding a news
conference. said the American
people were Saddened by the DO
litical uneaSiness in Cuba and ex-
pressed regret that the demon
Stration had been timed to
coincide with his visit to the city.
But he went further. He repeatedly
said any form Of excessive" police
action was repugnant to him.
That did it. Batista hackers
dubbed the comment both Inn
proper and imprudent. The gov
eminent issued a communique
SIaClng tnaC IL rejected and repu.
dated any interference in matters
Of Cuban sovereignty. It cried out
against the ENJOYS confusion of
his functions" with the internal
maneuvers Of Fidel Castro, leader
OF the rebel group.
In Washington, the State De.
partment felt impelled to empha-
size what Ambassador Smith had
said when he reached Cuba late
in July: That the United States
certainly had no intention Of par
ticipating in domestic affairs Of
the Cubans.
But by then Santiago was para
lyzed by q general strike. Its stores
were closed save for a few groceries
required by the police to continue
doing business. And, for the fourth
time in eight months, the Batista
government had suspended all
constitutional guarantees of the
citizens.

Voting Rights Only

6uC Dy laSL week compromise
at the expense of the advanced
liberal poSition-had reduced the
bill to one guaranteeing voting
rights only, with a jury trial
amendment passed over the
strenuous objections Of the liberals
and the administration. The jury
trial amendment itself was the
result Of repeated compromise
efforts to win a majority COM
prised of the undecided liberals.
constitutionalists and Southern
ers.
The jury trial provision, without
which the Southerners had
pledged among themselves that
there would be no civil rights
legislation, began as q cambric-
tea amendment offered by Senator
OMahoney, Democrat of Wyo-
ming. In the early stages of the
debate. It would have provided
for jury trials in practically all
civil rights cases except voting
cases.
1t was soon obvious that this
plan lacked effective support from
either side. Consequently, Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee came
UP with a plan that would provide
for q jury trial in criminal con-
tempt cases arising under the act.
but would leave the verdict in a
civil contempt case where COM
pliance and not punishment is the
object, UP to the judge. Senator
O'Mahoney joined Senator Kefau-
yer, and this expanded jury trial
amendment became the O'Maho-
ney-Kefauver amendment.
This attracted more strength -
but still not quite enough-to
the position Of those who believed
that, without further modification.
the bill was doomed.
At this point the O'Mahoney-
Kefauver amendment was ex-
banded to provide for jury trial
in all Federal criminal contempt
cases, including those arising out
Of violations of the national emer-
gency strike section of the Taft
Hartley Act. Senator Frank
Church, 33-year- liberal Idaho
Democrat, had also been working
on a plan along these lines. and
Joined as a sponsor. The proposal
now became known as the O'Ma-
honey-Kefauver- Church amend
ment
At this stage. the situation was
thus:
If a Federal judges order in
voting case is violated, the Judge
might cite the violator for criminal
contempt or civil contempt, his
decision thus determining whether
or not there would be a jury trial.
Presumably, the judges decision
here would be determined by
whether or not compliance with
his order might be both possible
and likely. In this case. the
course would be to cite the de-
PENDANT for civil contempt
without the Jury trial. The de-
PENDANT would be placed In Jail.
but would remain there only so
long as he persisted in disobeying
the court. BY his own decision to
obey the court. the defendant
could obtain freedom.
II, however, the defendant, who
in most cases might be an cleo
ton oflcial charged with regis
tering voters, refused to comply
with an order to register a pros
pective voter until after the reg
istration books had closed or until

Q yacht race the day before at
Kingston, Ontario. . race in which
he presented Q piece Of Steuhen
glass-the John Foster Dulles
Trophy-to the winning yachts
man.
Now, on orders Of President
Eisenhower, Mr.. Dulles was bound
for London to become Q partici-
pant In a contest Of much more
serious nature. Awaiting the
planes departure. he contem-
plated the possibilities Of q strug-
gle which would test his own
ability to inject steam into the
debated five-power disarmament
conference. His success or failure
could affect the course Of civil
lization.
Mr.. Dulles well knew that his
immediate task was to find an
area Of agreement for the Western
Allies before they presented to
Soviet Russia q specific PROPOSE
ton as a first STEP toward dis
armament.
Arriving in London. he set a
theme. A prerequisite to disarm-
ament progress, he declared, would
be a reduction in the danger of
surprise nuclear attacks. He
asserted that every passing month
without agreement magnifled the
problem.
In q series of private confer
ences with delegates to the United
Nations Disarmament Subcom-
mittee and at a specially arranged
meeting with British Foreign Sec
rotary Selwyn Lloyd and French
Foreign Minister Christian Pineau,
Mr.. Dulles reiterated the idea.
