Should the AFL-CIO expei
the Transfers Union at its
Forthcoming convention in At
lantic City. as expected, that
then win happen?
No action has been taken on
this score by the AFL-CIO ex-
ecutive council, the federation's
top command.
But with the convention
opening date of December 5
less than three weeks Of, top
federation leaders have been
turning their thoughts to what
should be. Out of their think
ing and opinions, as Of now,
one point seems sure:
The AFL-CIO viii move
slowly in any move to set up
q rival organization of truck
ers which could and likely
would bring on a bitter organ
izing battle with the Team
sters and its leaders led by
Jimmy Hoffa.
Feel Confident
The AFL-CIO is reluctant to
embark on such q battle, ac-
cording to some Of its leaders,
through no fear of the ultimate
outcome. They feel, as Secre-
tary Of Labor Mitchell expressed
not long ago, that in any knock
down engagement with the
Hoffa crowd, however long and
bloody. the federation would
win in the long run.
The reluctance on the part
Of the AFL-CIO is based on
the good trade unionist doc
trine that jurisdiction fights
should be avoided if possible.
And back of that in the minds
of many top federation men,
bers is the hope that in time
the Transfers and its nearly
LIS million members can be well
coined back into the family Of
unions.
Possible Outlook
In other words, the ALL
CTO leaders, at least some Of
them, cling to the hope that
In some fashion the Transfers
will rid themselves Of Hoffa
and his cohorts and could be
received back into the fedora
ton.
So, as of now, this seems
likely to occur when the fedora
ton convention meets next
month:
The Executive Council, meet
ing on the eve of the conven-
ton, is expected to complete
plans to go before the dele
gates with a three-pronged
proposition regarding the
Teamsters Union,

R.-The suspended chairman
of the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission, G. Franklin Nc
Sorley Of Pittsburgh, has been
found guilty Of misconduct in
office by q Dauphin County
jury.
The jury Of eight women and
four men deliberated six hours
before returning its verdict

corruptly using his Office by as
signing a commission chauffeur
to Thomas j. Evans eight
months after Mr.. McSorley
succeeded Mr.. Evans on the
commission.
Judge Homer L: Kreider de-
layed sentencing pending the
filing Of motions against the
verdict by defense attorney

for misconduct in Office is left
to the discretion of the court.
The charge against Mr.. Nc

F. Saturday night ~ really
counted.
The trouble could all be laid
to red tape and geography.
The couple tells it this way:
Howard. 26. Of nearby Nor
NAL. and Mary. %. Of Bloom
ington, decided last Thursday
to get married. They drove
some so miles to Urbana for
their blood test and returned
to Bloomington for the legal
three-day waiting period.
Blood Samples Spilled
Saturday morning they
learned the blood samples had
been spilled and they would
have to take another test. They
did and then went to the
Champaign County clerk to
pick UP the marriage license.
But the clerk said there was
an error on the certificate. An
other dash to the laboratory
and then seconds before the
noon closing time the clerk
issued a marriage license.
Howard and Mary were mar
ried Saturday evening by the
Rev. F. Roy Doland Of Bloom
ington. But the minister noticed
that the license was issued in
Champaign County and the
ceremony wasn't legal in
Bloomington IN c c ! e a n
County,.
So the wedding party-bride,
bridegroom, minister and two
witnesses-drove to Mansfield,
where Mr.. Doland obliged a
second time beneath a street
light.
That seemed to take care of
everything, so the newlyweds
headed back to Bloomington.

But at 1880 pm. Saturday
Mr.. Doland telephoned and told
the couple: Mansfield isn't in
Champaign County, either -
it's six miles short, in Piatt
County.
A two-car motor caravan sped
to Mahomet, where it was as
certained that the party was
on Champaign County soil.
There, In front of Charles
Market the couple, still in the
car, heard the blessed-and
legal--words repeated. A patri-
otic note marked the brief cere-
mony. A radio at the market
was playing 1.-THE Star Spangled

'AFL-CIo Maps Courses
If Teomsters Are 0usted

custer Of the union as recon-
mended by the executive coun-
Gil for failure to rid itself Of
corrupt influences represented
largely now by James r. Hoffa,
the president-elect of the
Transfers.
The second proposal would
be for the convention formally
to extend an invitation and
welcome to any locals which
might want to withdraw from
the Hoffa organization and af-
filiate themselves with the
|AFL-CIO. Such locals would
be issued federal charters.
Third Proposal
AS a third proposal. the con-
vention would be asked to
authorize the Executive coun-
Gil any time within two years,
before the biennial convention
meets again. to receive the
Teamsters back into the fed
Grafton if the union has cleaned
house and rid itself Of Hoffa.
On this way the federation
would not foreclose the even
tual return Of the Teamsters
into the AFL-CIO.
Whatever action is taken by
the federation. it will be under
the personal direction of ALL
CLIO President George Meany
who has directed the cleanup
drive against erring union
leaders.
1t will be Mr.. Meany and
not Walter Reuther, an ALL
CLIO vice president and head Of
the United Automobile
Workers. contrary to q number
of published reports, who will
