.Freehi|I Denied
Board Backing

Fairfax Supervisor Joseph
Freehill's recent appearance
before the House Appropria-
tons Committee in opposition
to Burke Airport was in his
own behalf. and not as an Of
fetal representative of the
county governing body, it was
decided today.
Supervisor A. Claiborne
Leigh, who was absent July 81
when the board deadlocked, 3-3
on a motion to notify the COM
mittee that Mr.. Freehill die
not represent the board, said
he would vote at the next regu-
lar meeting in favor of the
motion.
He could not cast his vote to-
day because the meeting was
a special one limited to certain
subjects. but he declared that
certainly, Mr.. Freehill's ap-
pearance was in violation OF
board policy to have the county
executive or some other ad-
ministrative officer represent
the board at such hearings"
Mr.. Freehills appearance al
the hearing was criticized by
several other board members
because all of them did not
know he was going and be-
cause he used a police cruiser
to get there. Chairman James
Keith told board members al

Hoffo Quizzed on Deal
With Chicago HoodIum

Crumbach. Hoffa described
the money as q donation for
the purpose of giving Crum-
bach a fund to do with as he
saw ut in his election" The
election. Hoffa said. was for The
presidency of Local lot in
Philadelphia.
This revelation. that the
Transfers chief had gone faI
afield from his native Michi-
gan to influence an election
sidetracked the inquiry with a
long political discussion about
the rights of unionists to try
to elect their friends and de-
feat their enemies in political
races.
Self Assured Witness
Hoffa, a self-assured witness
with q suggestion of defiance
began his testimony yesterday
and aside from his union &C.
tivitieS he revealed himself as
a financial operator of some
distinction.
The Stocky TeamSter leader
readily acknowledged that he
had borrowed approximately
100000 since 1852 and casu-
ally estimated that he still owes
around $4,000"
The loans were shown to
have come from Detroit Team
Ster locals. fellow unionists,
from employers having deal
ings with the union and from
men Mr.. Kennedy said had
criminal records.
Loans without Interest
Hoffa testified that most of
the loans from individuals were
without security and without
interest. When Mr.. Kennedy
mentioned the criminal records
Of some Of the lenders, Hoffa
commented, You can't en-
barraSs me. go ahead"
Hoffa also revealed that he
was a man who operated
largely on q cash basis. The
loans and his repayments
usually were in cash and until
recently. the Teamster leader
said, he did not have a per-
sonal bank account.
The witness testified that he
assumed some of the money
he borrowed was for invest
ments of various sorts. He
said he had invested in a Flint
(Mich.) brewery. in a Wiscon-
sin girls camp called Jack
OLantern Lodge, in a Column
bus (Ohio) harness racing
track and other ventures. Most
of them. Hoffa said, did not
turn out well.
One Of those that did was q
venture with Bert Brennan, a
Detroit Teamster associate. In
horse betting. Hoffa testified
that Brennan did the betting
and his winnings came to
5000 to $4,000 q year.
other Hofia investments
were profitable for Mrs. Hoffs
IL not for Hoffa himself.
Mr.. Kennedy brought out
that Hoffa and Brennan had
lent Eugene G. (Jimmy) James
later secretary-treasurer of the
Laundry Workers Union. ST.
900. $2.50o or $500. in 1885

was only one of many ex-
plored by the committee in
laying the groundwork for
grilling Hoffa on his role in
the New York Transfers pa
per local" scandal.
Hoffa has been named as q
leading figure in a power play
in New York late in 1855 and
early in 1856. AS a part of this
play, seven Transfers local
charters were given to hoodlum
groups with the understanding
that the phantom locals votes
would be cast for q Hoffa
sympathizer in a crucial Joint
Teamsters council.
Investments Explored
Among the matters explored
today were investments BY
Hoffa personally. including COO
shares of stock in a chair
grocery and another 900 shares
in a concern interested in land
and sea transportation.
Mr.. Kennedy apparently wa;
attempting to show a conflict
of interest between Hoffa's role
as a union leader and his role
as a private investor. Hoffa re-
piled that THE small number
of shares of stock I hold
couldn't amount to even a small
fraction of the total stock in
these companies and couldn't
possibly have any effect-on the
companies"
Also of interest to the COM
mittee was a loan Of $4,000
to a home building concern
The money came out of Team
sters Union funds. half of il
from Local 337 and half of 1t
from Hoffa's personal union,
Local 299.
Hoffa explained that the loan
was amply secured by mort
cages on the buildings and that
the recipient of the loan. Marl-
borough Construction Co.. had
been paying 6 per cent interest
regularly. Six per cent, Hoffa
said, was more than the union
could get on its money by de-
posting it in a bank.
Nuggets of Philosophy
The record today was replete
with nuggets of Hoffa phil
osophy which cropped out dur
ing discussions of personal
finances, union practice and
political philosophy.
Examples:
I'D rather do business with
friends than with enemies or
people ! don't know"
Il believe it is the right Of
each Teamster member in this
country to go into any area and
work in behalf of any candi-
date, and you can rest assured
the same philosophy carries
over into politics.
Expressions (of opinion) to-
day cost money"
Il don't propose to shirk my
responsibility to my members
by failing to go into other areas
to convert them to our way Of
thinking"
What happens in Philadel-
phia today can AFFECT Detroit
tomorrow"

during a discussion Of a $4,000
disbursement by the Michigan
conference of Teamsters in

TORONTO. Sept. IA
proposal to drill a hole through
the crust of the earth vas
made in an ofiicial resolution
before the international Union
Of Geodesy and GeophySics at
its closing meeting here today.
Adoption was considered GER
tain.
The hole would be at least
10 miles deep. Deepest holes
drilled to date are oil wells.
some of which have slightly
exceeded 5 miles. Cost Of such
a drilling exceeds a million
dollars.
Presumably the drilling pro-
posed purely for scientific in
quiry would be made by the
general oil we'll technique but
with difficulties involved which
would make the cost several
times higher.
The resolution was submitted
by two sections Of the union
and was not debated. No sug-
gestion was made as to who
should provide the money OF
drill the hole. The same was
the case three years ago In
Rome when a resolution asking
for an earth satellite was
passed. Shortly afterward the
challenge was taken up with
appropriate financing by both
the United States and Russia
II was proposed that the hole
be sunk where the crust is thin
