That's the figure that a data

Japan and South Korea have

Negotiations between Japan

Mr.. Huh, who at one time
represented South Korea in the
talks with the Japanese, said
There are prerequisite condi-

The possibility that Mr.

be called on to sit in for him
at Paris it would not be more
than a couple of days, because
if it ran longer than thai

He also said that he did moi
expect to have to ask Mr.
Nixon to substitute for him, but
had notified Mr.. Khrushche,
and the other summit partici.
pants that this was a posi-.
bility.
The only reason for this, the
President said. is that he does
not know no wlong the summit

been agreed that it should gC

his domestic duties might re.
quire his presence in Washing

He explained that a number

pending in Congress. If action
on some of them should come
while he was out of the coun.

ward for him if he felt some
thing should be vetoed.
Any such bill requires deepest

that cannot be done from g

ers for permission to intervene
in the complicated case.
The key charge against Mr..
Hofta by the majority of the
monitors is that he misused
S500,000 of union money in a
Florida real estate venture. Mr..
Hoffa denies any wrongdoing.
Judge Let's established the
membership in January, 1858,
as a compromise of a lawsuit
by 13 Teamster insurgents who
charged Mr.. Hoffa's election
to succeed Dave Beck the pre-
vious fall was "rigged." Mr..
Hoffa and the insurgents signed
a consent decree allowing him
to take Office as provisional
president, under surveillance by
three court t-appointed monitors.
Mr.. Hoffa and the monitors
we're to cooperate in eliminat-
ing corruption, protecting the
rights of rank-and-file members
and clearing the way for a new
convention and election.
The majority of the monitors
charged, after feuding with Mr..
Hoffa about cleanup moves.
that he violated the consent
decree through his activities
with Sun Valley, Inc, Florida
real estate project. Subsidiary
charges also are scheduled to
go to trial.
Rights Held Forfeited
When Mr.. Hoffa violated the
decree, the monitors contend.
he forfeited his right to con-
tinue as provisional president
of the 1.6 million member
union. They also seek his expul-
sion from union membership.
The monitors base their
charges on Mr.. Hoffa's deposit
of $500,000 from the treasury
of his home union, Local 299
in Detroit, in the Florida Ma
tional Bank at Orlando in 1856.
They charge and Mr.. Hoffa
denies that the money was de-
posted as collateral of $500, 900
of loans by the bank to Sun
Valley.
These transactions violated
Mr.. Hoffa's fiduciary obliga-
tionS under the decree-hiS
duty to use union money ex-
clusively for the benefit of
members, the monitors con-
tend. They also charge that
he was guilty of a conflict of
interests because he held an
