President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles have indicat-
ed they detect something phony
in Red China's noise over the
Chinese offshore islands.
II Peiping has taken it upon
itself to raise a real threat of
war in the Formosa Strait, the
! American response will give
Communist China's allies. the
Russians. some food for serious
thought.
There are aspects in the Far
East developments indicating
that the Red Chinese are just
as interested in prodding the
Russians as they are In chal-
lenging the United States. ,
! BY drawing a line around the
Islands with their declaration
of a l2-mile territorial sea limit,
the Chinese have presented the
Russians with a problem. The
Chinese purport to say that
any American defense of the
offshore islands is, in effect. in
vasion of Red Chinese territory
and direct aggression.
Reminder of Treaty
This sharply reminds the
Russians of their treaty COM
mitments. Soviet propaganda
has been saying Moscow is
ready to spring to Peiping'S aid
"if" there is aggression. The
Red Chinese now are saying
American military help to Ma
tionalist China actually is ag-
erosion.
It's highly doubtful that the
USSR wants to be dragged
into world war situation now.
Peiping seems to be reminding
the Kremlin that the Red Chi
nese have the power to bring
this about.

Monitors Fiuht
Hoffa Plan for
Quick Session
BY LEE M. COIN
Star star Writer

Court-appointed monitors, In
a get-tough mood. plan q court
night to block any "quickie"
convention Of the Teamsters
Union and to dissolve the rival
Misunderstanding commission
established by President James
r. Hoffa.
The monitors also intend To
seek court enforcement of their
Recommendations for custer Of
several union officers charged
with corruption by the Senate
Rackets Committee.
Hoffa, meanwhile, gave a
little ground on the convention
issue yesterday. He postponed
a convention call at least until
September Is. when his execu-
tive board viii meet here with
the monitors.
O'DOnOghue Firm
After q hectic day OF meet
ingS. Monitor Chairman Martin
r. O'Donoghue said he was
very satisfied" at the progress
Of his challenge to Hoffa. Mr..
ODonoghue refused to report
on the attitude Of Federal Dis
trict Judge r. Dickinson Let's,
who set up the board Of mon
itors. But Mr.. O'Donoghue's
manner clearly implied that he
expects Judge Let's to back the
monitors.
Expressing his views on the
misunderstanding commission
for the first time, Mr.. ODono-
ghue told The Star: THE COM
mission absolutely must 20 out
Of existence. If the Teamsters
don't remove it, / will file a
motion in court for the COM
missions dissolution"
He added: I'VE (the mont
tors) have the authority to
clean UP corruption with the
power Of court enforcement be-
hind us. The commission has
only the power to recommend,
and would weaken u.s."
Hoffa two weeks ago set up
the commission. headed by for
mer Senator George H. Bender
Republican Of Ohio, to investi-
gate charges Of corruption in
the Transfers. One of the
three court : appointed mont
tors. Godfrey p. Schmidt, imme-
diately charged the commission
was a gimmick to evade super
vision by the monitors. Mr..
ODonoghue said yesterday he
agreed generally with Mr..
Schmidt.
Hoffa told reporters yester-
day the Bender commission
will function as originally in
tended, separate from the mon
itors and not in conflict with
them"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-05

Mr.. O'Donoghue approved
Hoffa's move to delay a con-
vention call until discussing
the issue with the monitors.
The monitor chairman said
he doubted the Transfers
would be ready for a conven-
ton by February. which re-
portedly is Hoffa's target date.
Mr.. o'Donoghue commended it
will take longer than that to
institute reforms to guarantee
q clean convention. Among

other things, he said, the
monitors would be unable q
check the eligibility of dele
gates because records are i'm
complete.
Judge Let's assigned the mon.
itors TO prepare the Teamsters
for a new convention any time
after next January. When the
next convention is held and
officers are elected, the mon
itors viii be dissolved.
Hoffa apparently wants an
early convention to consolidate
his hold on the union, and to
get rid OF the monitors. He
now is provisional" president,
and there are scattered signs
Of instruction in his l.6 mil
lion-memher union.

clearly has the right to set

oDonoghue maintained.
Hoffa has delayed compli-
ance with several recent rec
concentrations by the monitors
for custer action against ON
cials charged with corruption.
Mr.. O'Donoghue said he will
seek enforcement by Judge
Let's after the monitors meet
here September IS.
He can count on support by
q majority Of the monitor
board. Mr.. Schmidt, who rep
resents dissident Transfers on
the board, is even tougher
than Mr.. o'Donoghue in his
stand on Hoiia. The third
monitor, L. N. D. Wells, jr., of
Dallas, represents the Hoffa
regime and habitually dissents
from board actions.

All signs indicated that Judge
Let's supported the ODonog-
hue-Schmidt majority against
Mr.. Wells.
Mr.. O'Danaghue said the
convention was not discussed
with Judge Let's.
In a meeting last night, the
Teamsters announced, Hoffa
received a standing vote Of con-
fidence from about 200 key of.
ficers gathered from all over
the country. There was one
unidentified dissenter, the UNI
ion said.
The TeamSter executive
board decided yesterday to
bond all employees for $4,000
each to give our membership
additional protection against
dishonesty"
Previously, only ofiicials ham
ding money were bonded, and
only for $4,000. The monitors
have charged this requirement
of the unions constitution has
been violated in some cases.

two games the Spencerville
Bearcats cling to first place in the

league record.
