scheduled for a criminal trial
at District Court on May l6 on
charges they falsified and de-
stroyed records of telephone
calls made by Mr.. Hoffa, Team

Today's indictment said that
the telephone operators were
instructed to make fictitious
entries on the records for tele-
phone calls made from the
rooms occupied by Teamsters
Union officials. Mrs. Hucks
specifically directed the opera

records from the suite occupied
by Mr.. Hoffa, the indictment
charged.
The three defendants were
accused of keeping the McClel-

records which involved such
items as bills, registration and
reservation cards, restaurant
and bar checks.
The indictment cited testi-
mony before the Mcclellan
Committee, at which the coun-

Hucks:

The young Korean who
claims some Of the credit for
forcing DR.. You Chan Yang to
resign as South Korean am
basSador here Tuesday, said
today his people are greatly
encouraged by current United
States policy toward his home
land.
Koh Byung -Choll, 36-year-
old antique dealer and export
import businessman, declared
Secretary Herter and the State
Department are to be con-
graduated for helping speed
the resignation of Syngman
Rhee as president of South
Korea.
The reference was to offlcial
appeals from Washington for
consideration by the Rhee gov
ernment of recent demands
made upon it by demonstrating
Korean citizens.
Mr.. Koh predicted that
Chang Myung. a former am
bassador to Washington, who
resigned a few days ago as vice
president of Korea, would be
chosen the new president when
elections are held.
Like Yongjeung Kim, presi-
dent of the Korean Affairs In
stitute in Washington, Mr.. Koh
advocated elections within two
months under supervision OF
the United Nations.
He made clear, however, that
he and Mr.. Kim are not allied,
although both wanted Presi-
dent Rhee to step aside because
of irregularities in the voting

of the incident.

U. S. Policy on Korea
Held Boost for People

President Rhee, Ambassador
Yang and others stemmed from
action taken by the aged Presi-
dent on Christmas eve, 1858.
"Rhee hired 300 mobsters to
drag 78 members of the Demo-
cratic Party out of the halls of
Congress-" he charged. "These
members were locked up in the
basement of the building.
Then the members of the
Liberal Party railroaded the
passage of % laws. Two OF
them we're of the utmost i'm
portance.
"One was the So-called Ma
tional Security Law. Under this,
no one can criticize the Presi-
dent, the Speaker Of the House
or the Chief Justice, on grounds
that this would give comfort
to the enemy. meaning the
Communists.
THE other law concerned
local autonomy. Under it,
Rhee could appoint governors,
mayors and the chief officers of
towns and villages. The Presi-
dent and his appointees were
empowered to name all of the
election officials of the various
political jurisdictions.
In other words, the Rhee
administration could liquidate
the democratic form of gov
ernment. The prime reason
for the passage of those laws
was to control the elections
held last March 15."
Born in Korea
Mr.. Koh, who is married and
the father of three children,
lives at 1415 Montague street
NV. Born in what is now
North Korea, he lived for years
in China before the japanese
surrender in World War II.
After that he worked for the
South Korean Foreign Affairs
Office.
In 1947 he enrolled at Villa
mette University in Salem.
Ore, and he received a bache-
lor of arts degree from there.
He came to Washington in
1850, worked four years at the
Army Map Service and took
a foreign affairs course at
George Washington University.
He received a masters degree
there in 1851. Later he studied
further at Georgetown Univer-
sity.
He formed the Korean Stu
dent Association in Washing

Korean Community Associa-
ton, which until a few days

Merging for Strength

The proposed first step toward
merger of two major Eastern railroads
the Chesapeake g. Ohio and the Balti-
more Ohio-offers promise of beneft
to the economically troubled railroad
industry and to the public interest alike.
Already approved by directors of the
two companies, but subject to concur
renee of the stockholders and consent
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
the recommended exchange of shares
would bring under one ownership car
10000 miles of tracks and having total
assets in excess of, $2.3 billion. On this
basis, the consolidated carrier would
become second in size in the country
only to the giant Pennsylvania system.
More important than the mere rank
ing in size, of course, would be the op-
portunity for improved service as well
as operating economies. Both competi-
tive and complementary at present, the
two lines criSS-croSS the heavily indus
trialized area bounded roughly by New
York, Baltimore Washington, st. Louis
and Chicago. The C. & O., second largest
Soft-coal carrier in the Nation, also has
major terminal for coal exports in the
Norfolk region. Operated as a single
system, it is reasonable to assume that
the consolidated carrier could give more
efflcient service while eliminating dupli-
eating facilities
Actually, this particular merger is
only one of many that have been under
discussion in recent years as the railroad
industry has tried to modernze its top
heavy corporate structure. It's troubles
are not by any means all of its own
making-againSt background of Fed
eral and State regulation that dates
back to period Of 19th-century trans
port monopoly and the subsidized devel-
opment of competing forms of air, land
and water transport.
Among Eastern carriers there has
been frequent speculation that eventu-
ally two huge systems would emerge, one
perhaps built around the PENNSYLVANIA
and its afhliateS and the other around
Second-ranking New York Central. At
one time these two giants themselves
talked merger but the conversations
were broken off in early 1859. Less than
month ago it was reported that Central
had been engaged in negotiations with
the c. & OBJ. & o. combine but there
were no indications in last weeks an
nouncement by the latter two that the
N. Y. c. is now involved. Meanwhile,
directors of two of the South's largest
lines, Atlantic Coast and Seaboard, have
announced agreement on consolidation
and two other big coal carriers, Norfolk
& Western and The Virginian, already
have completed their merger. ...
Merger per Sc is not, of course, the
whole answer to railroad troubles There
is persuasive logic, however, in the COM
plant that "130 railroads in America
are too many" and that Soundly planned
consultations could be greatly in the
national interest

Kennedy's Sweep

AS the returns from Oregon were
trickling in, Senator Kennedy had dem
onStrated once again, that he has that
prime political aSSet-voter appeal.
The Massachusetts, Senator literally
rolled over his Democratic opposition
Senator Morse, his bitter "favorite son"
opponent, went down to humiliating
defeat. Senator's Symingtcn and john
son, who were on the ballot, even
though they did not campaign, were
crushed. They ran behind Senator
Humphrey, who threw in the sponge as
a Democratic presidential prospect after
his licking in West Virginia. Finally,
there was Adlai Stevenson-the write
in choice of a mere few hundred Ore
gonianS. In short, the oregon Demo-
cratic primary was a Kennedy show
from start to finish. The others simply
weren't in the picture.
Furthermore, the Oregon triumph
came on top of clear-cut wins in six
preceding primaries, in at least two of
which Senator Kennedy was supposed
to have hard going, but which he won
handily What is the real meaning of
this? One Democratic sage has said
that primary results are so much eye
wash. We suspect, however, that it is
this remark, and not the results, which
. is eye wash. At the very least, Senator
Kennedy has proved that he can go be-
fore the people in different States and
get votes. No other Democratic hope
full has made such showing. And this
is fact which will carry great weight
with the king-makers at Los Angeles,
assuming that they want to win in
November-which they most surely do.
