there is no suggestion by us

or otherwise. Mr.. Schmidt has
not conducted himself law

openly"
Despite the finding, the

discretion to decide whether
the conflict should disqualify
Mr.. Schmidt as a monitor.
while I do not agree with
the legal reasoning Of the
Court Of Appeals in this con-
nection, must respect and
defer to their authority" Mr.
Schmidt wrote in his letter OF
resignation to Judge Let's. He
sent the letter Friday. Judge
Let's has jurisdiction over the

lished in January. 1858.
Mr.. Schmidt told a reporter

The Teamsters Union declined

Godfrey p. Schmidt, one OF
James r. Hoffa's bitterest foes.
yesterday announced his resig-
nation from the Teamsters
Union board Of monitors. The
monitors are trying TO rid the
union Of corruption,
Mr.. Schmidt told The Star
after the announcement that he
submitted his resignation
mainly because the United
States Court Of Appeals here
had ruled he was In a conflict
OF interest situation. He is a
lawyer for several employers
who negotiate with the Team
sters
Another big reason for the
resignation, Mr.. Schmidt said.
Is that he expects to prosecute
charges that Mr.. Hoffa has
nnisused union funds and en-
gagged IN other misconduct. The
monitors plan to process the
charges. which could lead to
Mr.. Hoffa's custer as president
Of the Teamsters.
Attorney for Dissidents
Mr.. Schmidt said he will
continue as attorney for the IL
rank and file Teamsters who
have been leading the dissident
tight against Mr.. Hoffa. The
lawsuit he filed in their behalf
in 1857 led to establishment Of
the membership to police the
union.

The Senate Rackets Com
mittee's new investigation Of
the Teamsters Union is help
ing court-appointed monitors
to jell plans to protect rank
and-file members from domi-
nation by criminal elements.
The monitors, it was learned
yesterday. are especially con-
cerned about testimony in last
weeks committee hearings that
unreformed ex-convicts retain
positions Of power in James r.
Hoffa's union. Backed by the
Federal courts, the monitors
intend to force Mr.. Hoffa to
act against corrupt subordi-
mates.
President Hoffa has been re-
luctant to use his full constitu-
tional powers to oust officials
with extensive criminal records
even in the face of charges
that they currently are misus-
ing union funds. extorting
money from employers and en-
gaging in other racketS.
While the Teamster con-
stitution empowers Mr.. Hoffa
to oust corrupt offlcials sum-
marily.. he prefers to move
slowly. The monitors intend
TO enforce the constitution to
the letter. II. Ae1
Record Is Watched
An observer for the monitors
has been attending the hear
ings, and the transcripts Of
testimony undergo close scru-
tiny at monitor headquarters.
District Judge F. Dickinson
Let's established the three-mAn
board Of monitors in January,
1858, to clean up the TeamSters.
Mr.. Hoffa is challenging their
authority.
The monitors are expected
to turn their attention prompt
ly to testimony that Teamster
officials in Chattanooga, Tenn,
and New York remain on the
payroll many months after they
supposedly were suspended.
Robert F. Kennedy. chief
counsel Of the Rackets Commit
tee. said yesterday that the
panel will recall Nr. Hoffa as a
witness either next Wednesday
or next week.
When hearings resume to-
morrow, Mr.. Kennedy said, the
committee will quiz Ray Cohen,
boss Of Teamster Local l07 in
Philadelphia, and BENJAMIN
Dranow, a businessman who
has had dealings with Mr..
Hoffa.

 "We've had enough. Suggest put windbreaks on barbed wir e fence"
 The story in Texas is that only ibarbed wire fence separates Amarillo from the North Pole.
 Amarillo wired back: Suggest you set fans pointing this direc- ton. We need the hot air"

Relief Checks Financed Stock Market Deals

NEW YORK, R Harry Schweitzer, 75, is something of a financial genius, but he accepted relief checks for the past 20 years to make $21,OO0 playing the stock market.

 In addition, the retired hospital orderly received welfare allow ances for clothing, furniture, rent and medical care.
 With most of the $71.10 to play with, the frugal-living Schweit- ger plunged into Wall Street. He became known as a man who would lay down as much as $4,000 in cash on brokers desk in a single transaction.
 District Attorney Frank Hogan said Schweitzer, when confronted by the probers, turned over his $1,525 bank account to the welfare agency and gave the department power of attorney to sell his $21,- 900 in securities to make repay ment.
 Immediately after doing this, Schweitzer said he was destitute and went right back on relief.

De Caulle Becomes French President

PARIS, LR - General Charles De Gaulle Thursday became the first President of the Fifth French Republic and appointed Michel Debre as Premier.
 In taking the oath of office, De Gaulle declared that during his seven year term he would, if need be, impose what the public good demands.
 Debre is an ardent Nationalist, a longtime Gaullist, and chief ar chitect of the new constitution es- tablishing the Fifth Republic.
 Debre, a lawyer and admins trative specialist, will share exec utive duties with De Gaulle. The new constitution gives most eff fective power to the president.
 The constitution provides that the president name the premier. There is no provision, as previous ly, for the National Assembly to confirm him in office.
 Cries of ''Viva De Gaulle," came from thousands lining the broad Champs Elysees as he drove up the avenue in an open car after taking office. The 68-year-old war time Free French leader stood stiff and erect despite a brisk wind and nippy 42-degree tenn peratures.
 At the Arch of Triumph De Gaulle and retiring President Rene Coty symbolically rekindled the eternal flame that marks the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
