Teumsters Say
Robert Kennedy
Errs on Pensions

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81 (AP) :.
Robert Kennedy, former coun-
sci for the Senate RacketS Com
mittee, says the Transfers
Union altered its pension plan
to benefit President James Hoffa
and his aides at the expense of
veteran union organizers.
The union denied the acusa-
ton.
Mr.. Kennedy told the Ameri--
can Trucking Association yes
terday that the new plan would
pay Mr.. Hoffa $40, 900 a year for
life "even if he were busted to-
morrow" He said it guarantees
Mr.. Hoffa and his associates
large pensions, regardless of
their length of service in the
union.
He said the changes would be
financed by cutting back the
pensions of oldtime Teamster
organizers and making the new
pension retroactive for Is years.
He did not disclose the source
of his information.
A Teamster spokesman in
Washington said Mr.. Kennedy
was in error, adding:
mo one will take a beating.
There have been changes con-
sidered in the pension program
applying only to international
Observation-Disclosures of the
General Executive Board, Or
ganizers and employees. Not
more than so would be affected.
When the program is finally
formulated, it will be published"

continue to exist. A change
is coming.
IF we do not adapt our
foreign policy to these changes,
the Middle East problem will
burst into our faces. What
we saw in Iraq may be child's
play to what may occur in
the future.
He said America should ac-
cept the fact that Russian in
fluence is in the Middle East
to stay, and the only way to
counter it is to draw up long
term plans for dealing with
the area.
"As of now our policy lacks
depth and is one mainly of i'm
proyization." he said.

DR.. ENEMY was of the optn-
ion that the events in Hungary
and Iraq have awakened the
Middle East to the dangers OF
possible Soviet domination.
Applying his statement on
the need for changes in West
ern policy. he said this could
be done in five ways:
/. The West should do every
thing to solve the refugee prob
lem in the Middle East. The
price of solving it is going up
and time will not take care OF
it, he said.
2. The West should respond
to an Arab longing for a sense
