D. c. Orchestra
Cancels Its Trip

The National Symphony Or

to cancel its trip to the Brus-
sells Fair.
Lacking $4,000 of the esti-
mated $4,000 it would have
taken to ship the orchestra
abroad and back. the Board OF
Directors decided yesterday to
forget the whole idea.
Last spring the orchestra
was invited by the State De-
partment to take part in the
fairs program. Plans at that
time called for the orchestra s
appearance in late September
A private fair fund was
started and friends of the SYM
phony worked hard this sum-

fund, officials of the symphony
said, was mostly in pledges
Lacking $29, 900, and with little
hope of raising that figure, the
trip was Cancelled.

Senate investigators today
accused Teamsters Union Presi-
dent James r. Hoffa of doing
nothing 20 rid the union of
gangsters and criminals.
The charge was hurled at
the stocky Teamster boss as
he returned for another round
of questioning by the Senate
Rackets Committee.
Hoffa acknowledged he had
taken no action against a long
list of Teamster officials with
criminal records, saying again
that lin due time these things
will be cleaned up"
Committee Chairman Nc
Clellan, Democrat of Arkansas,
said the presence of ex-con-
victs and hoodlums in the
Teamster organization has be-
come "a sordid story" and then
exploded:
Lord Almighty. you're head
of the union. You are doing
everything you can to per-
petuate the situation"
Double Standard" Charged
Hoffa's attorney, Edward
Bennett Williams of Washing
ton, said Congress always had
awaited the appellate course
before taking action against
any of its members convicted
of some offense. He suggested
that the committee was under
taking to apply "a double
standard of morality" regard
ing Hoffa.

retorted. I'D get rid of him.

They were expected to differ

The transit firm has asked
for a straight 20-cent cash

Present tokens and weekly per-
mits would be dropped.
Some Base Exclusions
Mr.. Falk disclosed that he
was excluding from the base

transit firms controversial

He also said he has rejected
the company's claim that it is
entitled to a new method Of

wants fares and profits deter

said he is sticking with a ira

The rate base would allow the

Mr.. Falk quoted former En-

that Congress, in enacting the
