The story starts with the

the Battle Of Hastings, ordered
a huge hunting forest laid out
in 1919 on a triangular, l44-

the port of Southampton

and ever since.
Battling for decades against
laws which condemned TO death

stealing one Of the kings deer,
commoners in and around the
forest won the right to use the
forest as free pasture land for
their livestock.
Those rights, attached to land
instead Of families. have been
preserved TO this day. Anyone

judge to work as soon as pos
sible. Under the old law a judge
for Juvenile Court had to be
confirmed by the Senate before
taking Office which resulted in
over a years delay in replacing
Judge Cockrill.
Senator Clark said a ques-
ton was raised about the pro-
vision in the bill which put the
clerk and deputy clerk of the
court outside the merit system.
He said that he would join
with Senator Morse, Demo-
crat of Oregon, in introducing
legislation in January to put
these positions back under
civil service.
Ketcham Not Affected
I'VE feel it is sufficiently inn
portant to get a judge working
as a result of action at this
session that we do not want to
send the bill back to the House
for amendments which might
delay action beyond this ses-
sion." Senator Clark explained.
The bill provides for a chief
judge named by the President
and an associate judge. 1t also
increases the term from six
to 10 years in conformity with
Municipal Court but this would
not affect Judge Ketcham who
was appointed for a six-year
term.

Own History
BY WILLIAM HINES
and CECIL HOLLAND

Teamster Leader James r.
(Jimmy) Hoffa testified today
he was not seeking to establish
a super union of all transport
workers.
The 44-year- old Detroit labor
leader said he had been mis-
quoted" regarding combine
of transport unions. He added
that what he favors is a sort
of loose knit" council of unions
representing truckers, dock
workers, railroad and airline
workers for Exchanging ideas"
and protecting wage scales.
Hoffa appeared before the
Select Senate Committee in
vestigating racketeering in the
labor-management field as the
climactic witness in the COM
mittee'S hearings on inf1ltra-
ton of gangsters and hoodlums
into Transfers and other local
unions in the New York area.
DiO Question Not Reached
But the committees pace was
slow. At noon the stocky. s.
foot 5-inch Hoffa, never at a
loss for a word, had not been
asked a single question about
his alleged association with
John Johnny Dio) Dioguardi
and other New York racketeers.
Dio and other hoodlums have
been revealed as key figures in
some of the New York Team
sters locals.
Most of the morning session
was devoted to Hoffa's back
ground. large profits his family
made out of business dealings
with a company with which
Hoffa's Transfers have a union
contract; his police record. and
his thoughts on some sort of
amalgamatione or council Of
transport unions.
Salient Points Of Testimony
Highlights of Hoffa's first
appearance before the Senate
investigators included:
| l. Hoffa readily acknowledged
II arrests in his labor career
starting in 1884 and three con-
victions on what he contended
were matters involving union
activities.
2. Committee Counsel Rob-
ert F. Kennedy said Hoffa's
wife and the wife of a Detroit
Transfers associate realized a
total profit of SIPS, 900 from
1949 to 1856 on a company in
which they invested $4,000 UNI
der their maiden names for
leasing equipment to a truck
ing outfit.
3. While defending labor
leaders having business rela-
tons with employers with whom
they negotiate union contracts.
Hoffa said that he was under.
taking to dispose of all his out
side business interests. He said
he was doing this in order to
comply with the ethical prac-
tices codes adopted by the
AFL-CIO which frown on such
dealings.
Hearing Is TeIevised
Hoffa appeared at the tele-
vised public hearing shortly
before the starting time Of
1880 am. accompanied by
George S. Fitzgerald and David
Previant, Detroit Teamster
lawyers. and carrying a tan

Speedy Action
On Foreign Aid
Committee Settles
Down to Careful
Scrutiny of Bill
By ROBERT X. WALSH

The Senate Appropriations
Committee called a halt today
to fast action on the foreign
aid bill. 1t decided to get
point by point explanations
from administrators before de-
termining how much money, if
any. should be added to the
House bill.
Dissatisfied by too many
generalities" in discussions of
the funds measure thus far in
and out Of Congress. the COM
mittee arranged for a detailed
question: nd-anSwer SSionI
tomorrow with several State
Department and International
Co operation Administration
fiscal experts.
Committee members, who
previously thought a bill would
be reported out today. possibly
with restoration of part of the
5000 million slashed by the
House last week, said this
afternoon that the bill prob
ably would not reach the Sen
ate floor until late this week.
Johnson Asks Prudence
I'VE are not going to get out
this week anyway" Senate
Democratic Leader johnson
told reporters after the COM
mittee's two-hour closed meet
ing. The talk thus far has
been in too many generalities
on this bill. 1 feel that we
ought to be very prudent and
see that reasonable amounts
are provided for each of the
mutual security items where
necessary"
Senator johnson, however,
did not disclose whether Con-
gress should appropriate more
than the SIS billion in new
money voted by the House. He
remarked that the Senate
might find it necessary to in
crease the House figure. But
he emphasized that the COM
mittee and the Senate itself
viii have to be shown clearly
and in great detail whether
any increases can be justified.
Whatever bill we bring out.
Senator Johnson said. I'VE will !
have to defend on the Senate
floor. AS I stated some time
ago, public support for large |
aid appropriations is not very
strong. Accordingly we will I
have to get all the facts before 4
we decide what to do with the |
House bill"
Want Explanations
The principal purpose of the
committees further hearings,
according to Senator Johnson
and several other members, is
to obtain clearcut explana-
tions Of funds that might be
available in addition to the
SIS billion in new money and
$667 million in unobligated
balances carried over in the
House bill. The $3.1 billion
total is 5000 million under the
ceiling authorized by Congress
earlier this month. Originally
the Eisenhower administration
requested $3.8 billion in new
money for the present fiscal
year.
Senator johnson noted that
House members supporting Sc
we're cuts in their bill contend
that the mutual security pro-
gram actually can count on
more than SIP billion for its
operations this year.
That figure, they explained.

.Sib|ey Site Bill
Goes TO Senate
BY DON S. WARREN


The Senate District Commit
tee by a vote Of 6 to l today
approved the House-passed bill
to permit the development of
the new Sibley Hospital on a
l2-acre site in the Dalecarlia
Reservoir area at Loughboro
and Little Falls roads.
The measure now goes to the
Senate. Sponsors of the meas
ure expect passage but say
there may be a contest.
The action was taken in APP
proving a recommendation
from the Health and Education
Subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Morse. Democrat of Oregon.
The subcommittee after
rather extensive hearings. de-
cided to override the objections
of the District Engineer of the
Army's Corps of Engineers, the
National Capital Planning
Commission and the District
Commissioners that the hospi-
tai plans should be denied be-
cause the area might eventually
be required for use for a water
reservoir or filtration plant to
serve the District and nearby
areas in Maryland.
Cause Not PrObed

members of his subcommittee
decided that spokesman for this
cause had not proved their case

would have to have previous
experience as a juvenile court
judge.
Frear'S Intention
The bill as reported out Of
committee does require five
years residence in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area i'm
mediately before appointment.
Since Judge Fay Bentley was
forced by illness to leave the
court before her term was up.
it was apparent that Senator
Frear sought to limit the field
to one candidate-former Judge
Edith H. Cockrill. Miss Cock
rill's term was extended for
many months as Senator Frear
sought to block the appoint
ment of her successor.
Senator Clark. Democrat Of
Pennsylvania. and Senator BIZ
BILE, Democrat of Nevada, both
stressed the Importance of get
ting the measure through this
session.
AS far as the qualifications
of the person to be appointed
under the bill are concerned,
Senator Clark said, the COM
mittee's report will stress that
the candidate must have "a
knowledge of social problems
and procedures and AN under
standing of child psychology"
Senator Clark pointed out
that he had joined Senator
Frear in opposing the appoint
ment of Judge Orm Ketcham
and he hoped the next APP
pointee would be better quail
flied.
Bible Optimistic
Senator Bible said he thought
the chances of getting the bill
through before Congress ad-
journs were excellent and
Senator Clark said he certainly
hoped it goes through because
a second judge is desperately
needed for this court.
The bill permits a recess APP
