Dear Friends:
Being in the Air Force this time
of the year and having a good crew
is a thrilling experience. but dis
turbing TO ones nervous system.
The competitions are on and it's
rough on the crews who are par
ticipating and even more severe
on the wives who must try to keep
hubby cool, calm and rested.
The very first part of this year
three crews from Forbes were
chosen to practice for the compe-
titions. Hayes, Don (Aircraft
Commander) and Dave (co-pilot)
were selected as one of the crews.
Only two were TO be chosen to rep
resent the 55th wing. Naturally,
the honor of being chosen is al
ways good on the boys records,
but staying home and not being
selected would be a lot more Sc
rene. This month Don, Dave and
Hayes were touched by the wing
colonels magic wand and the work
began or rather it just became
more intense.
Strategic Air Command is COM
prised of three Air Forces-2nd,
8th and 18th. The 55th Wing is
part of the Second. Currently we
are in the midst of End Air Force
competition. The end of October
all of the wings in SAC will enter
their top crews in a SAC competi-
ton.

had one of their four competitive
missions. / suppose you can guess

He also denied a charge that
he "misappropriated' funds Of
his home union, Detroit Local

Quonset huts for $10,400.

Contradicting Mr.. Kennedy,
Mr.. Hoffa insisted special deals

Lines of Detroit and the Kiss

were approved by the Teamster
members involved.
He denied Mr.. Kennedy's
contention that the deals

Pact Breakdown Seen
The question Of communism
arose when Mr.. Hoffa defended
his efforts to collaborate with
Harry Bridges and Louis Gold
blatt Of the international Long
shoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union (nWUD, which
was expelled from the CIO on
charges Of Communist DONNA
ton.
The committee disclosed q
possible breakdown in Mr.,
Hoffa's plans to ally all trans
.portation unions - including
truck drivers and longshore-
men-in q conference on trans
portation unity. Members Of
Congress have warned such a
setup could strangle the econ
omy.
Mr., Kennedy produced an af-
fldavit by one Of the prospec-
tive allies, Capt. William v.
Bradley of the international
Longshoremen's Association
(ILA), indicating refusal to
join the pact.

has misused union funds, sold
out his members, consorted
with Communists, encouraged
racketeering and otherwise
abused his power as president
Of the Transfers.
The investigators reiterated
their conviction that Mr.. Hoffa
never will clean UP the Team
sters voluntarily, that the union
will be purified only when Mr.,
Hoffa is ousted. Committee
Counsel Robert F. Kennedy
expressed hope that court
appointed monitors will sue
coed in expelling Mr.. Hoffa.
Committee AdjOurns
If not, Mr.. Kennedy limited,
the committee may resume
hearings on Mr.. Hoffa's activi-
ties. For the moment, he said,
there are no plans for further
hearings on the Transfers,
The committee adjourned yes
terday for about two weeks,
when hearings will be held on
other matters-possibly includ-
Inc the ticklish subject OF
union political activity.
In yesterdays eight-hour
hearing, Mr.. Hoffa fought the
committee at every turn. Re-
fising to concede anything, he
argued, debated, accused and
threatened. Apparently sure
he was winning the duel. he
even leased the committee.

lenged when Mr.. Kennedy
hurled a charge at him in
volving union funds.

do when the committee had
closed.
What if the Senate decides
to make this a permanent COM
mittee?" Senator Mcclellan
YEARLY inquired.
I'VE will have to re-evaluate
our situation" said Mr.. Hoffa
with the air of a man who
clearly felt that he would not
have to face the task any time
soon.

Two years ago, on his de-

wary and diffident, was full Of
promises that he would clean
up his union. Last year, he said
shortly that he was getting
around to it. This year, he
hasn't even bothered.
He said he didn't care to
answer certain questions, defied
his quizzers, made speeches
and announced grandly that he
dealt with Louis Goldblatt, the
alleged Communist secretary
of the Longshoremen's Union,
"the way our Secretary of State
Herter deals with Khrushchey
at arms length"
Friends "Take Fifth"
The introduction of other
witnesses who he said could an
swer questions that he could
not, gave Mr.. Hoffa mommen-
tary pause. AS each new name
was announced, he would mar
row his eyes and bite his lip.
But as each one of his nearest
and dearest in trade unionism
sought the refuge of the Fifth
Amendment, a little smile would
play over the chieftain's face.
There was Owen Brennan, a
Teamster vice president, and
money lender to the president,
who according to a previous
witness, had threatened if he
ever stood trial to spill his
