LOS ANGELES, July IS. -

5k2 years.
Will Think It Over"
Senator Jackson announced
that he had been offered the
place about the same time that
the Democratic nominee was
telling a news conference he
had picked Senator johnson
as his running mate.
II said I'd have to think it
over" Senator jackson said,
but it was generally conceded
that he would accept it. He

Surprise All Over
It was a common problem.
CONSERVATION was rampant on
the seething floor. The naming

surprise all over.
In the army of protest were
people who had never marched

One opponent, Gov. G. Men

quavered that the nomination
was "a mistake"
Another. Senator Johnston

Democrats Hail johnson
As Strengthening Ticket
Blow Seen
Too. O. P.
In South
BY ]. A. OLEARY
Star Stan Writer

LOS ANGELES, July Is
The Kennedy johnson ticket
completed last night by the
Democratic Convention was
hailed today by party leaders
as the strongest it could have
selected.
Senator Kennedy's choice Of
Senator johnson of Texas to be
his running mate, accepted by
the convention on a voice vote,
was marred somewhat by rum
blings of dissent from liberal
forces in a few States.
Both Senators Kennedy and
johnson will formally accept
their roles as the party stand
ard bearers in gala open-air
ceremonies in the huge Los
Angeles Coliseum late today.
G. o. p. Hope Dimmed
In selecting the Texan as
his running mate, Senator Ken
nedy may have killed Republic
can hopes of cracking the South
for Vice President Nixon, as
Dwight D. Eisenhower cracked
it in 1852 and 1856.
These Republican hopes had
been based on a belief that the
defeat of Senator johnson for
the presidential nomination
would leave his Southern sup
porters reSentful and in a mood
to strike back at the Demo-
cratic ticket in November.
II this had happened it would
have given Mr.. Nixon an excel
lent chance of capturing the "a
electoral votes of Texas, and
possibly Virginia's IL and Ten
I1esSee's IL.
| But with the South's hero in
this convention now on the
ticket and promising to go all
out for a Democratic victory
this year, there is little doubt
what Texas will do, and dele
gates from other States also
were breathing a sigh of relief.
Liberals DispIeased
Some of the liberals from the
North and Midwest were not
HAPPY over the johnson selec-
ton. and a few of them from
Michigan, the District of CO.
lumbia, and one or two other
areas threatened for a time
to stage a floor fight.
But they were unable to line
up the eight States required by
rules to demand a roll call, and,
in the end, contented them
selves with a chorus of mo" on
a voice vote which suspended
the rules to permit Senator
johnson to be named for Vice
President by acclamation.
Although expressing their
unhappineSs. most of the lib
erals made it clear that they
would support the ticket.
4 Observers got the impression
that the liberals were merely
acting for the record, just as the
SouthernerS had expressed their
opposition to the civil rights

Martin F. ODonoghue -
who has been trying to oust
James r. Hoffa from Office
repeatedly has submitted his
resignation as chairman of
the Tearnsters Union board of
monitors.
Mr.. O'Donoghue was not i'm
mediately available for COM
ment. His associates refused
to confirm or deny the reports,
The resignation is UNDER
stood to have been submitted
to Federal District Judge r.
Dickinson Let's, who estab-
lished and supervises the
three-man board of monitors.
Recent court setbacks have
disheartened Mr.. o'Donoghue.
He has pressed misconduct
charges against Mr.. Hoffa in
the drive to remove him as
president Of the 1.6-million-
member union. Just as the
charges were about to go to
trial in a civil proceeding last
April. the United States Court
of Appeals intervened.
Procedures Changed
The appellate court ordered
major changes in the monitors
procedures, as requested by Mr..
Hoffa. 1t now is considering q
petition for a writ of manda-
mus. through which Mr.. Hoffa
hopes to prevent the trial.
A series Of appeals by Mr.,
Hoffa and his supporters has
delayed the trial-if it takes
place - until October. Mean
while, diSsension within the
board of monitors has begged
down Mr.. O'Donoghue's efforts.
William E. Bufalino. Mr.. Hoffa' S
representative on the board, is
the main source of dissension.
Mr.. O'Donoghue's associates
have noted signs that "harass-
ment" by Mr.. Hoffa and his
associates are wearing the
board chairman down.
Teamster lawyers have, for
ex ample, threatened Mr..
O'Donoghue with law suits and
have suggested his criminal
prosecution for alleged con-
flict of interest. In addition,
Mr.. Hoffa has petitioned the
courts to remove Mr.. O'Dono-
ghue from Office.
Appointed in 1858
Mr.. O'Donoghue, a Washing
ton labor lawyer, was appointed
by Judge Let's to the board of
monitors in May, 1858. After
trying without much success to
clean up" the union, he de-
cided that progress would be
impossible while Mr.. Hoffa re-
mained in Office to block his
efforts.

Quitting as Monitor

Of the board Of monitors filed
charges with Judge Let's that
Mr.. Hoffa had misused union
funds to promote q Florida
real estate development in
which the Teamster president
held a financial interest. Mr..
Hoffa denied the charges.
Judge Let's established the
membership in January, 1858,
in a compromise settlement of
a law suit by rebel union mem
bers. The insurgents charged
that Mr.. Hoffa's election to the
union presidency the previous
fall was "rigged."
Mr.. Hoffa and the insurgents
agreed to the compromise. Mr..
Hoffa was allowed to take Office
as provisional president, subject
to surveillance by the monitors.
The monitors were assigned tn
clean up corruption in the
union.
Misconduct Charged
In pressing the misconduct
charges, Mr.. O'Donoghue con-
tended that Mr.. Hoffa had vio-
lated his obligations under the
compromise decree, and there
fore had forfeited his right to
office.
Mr.. Hoffa has been seeking
court authorization to hold a
union convention, at which he
would seek reelection in his
own right. The membership
will be dissolved when the un-
ion holds its next election.
Mr.. Hoffa also has rounded
up some congressional support
for legislation to outlaw the
membership.
If Mr.. ODonoghue has sub
mitted his resignation and IL
Judge Let's accepts it, Mr..
Hoffa undoubtedly will consider
the development a great VIC
tory. 1t will be widely assumed
that the membership is on its
way out and that Mr.. Hoffa
has solidifled his position.

To Charities

Two letters addressed to the
heads of Phoenix organizations last
week by the Trust Department of
the First National Bank brought to
an end the story of the lives of two
simple people very much in keep
ing with the way they had lived.
Mr.. Joseph Katsoff followed his
mother, Rose, in death, by few
months. For their means, her will
was exceedingly generous to chari-
ties. His will, probated just last
week left in excess of $4,000 after
a few minor bequests, to be "divid-
ed equally without favor" between
Hadassah Medical Organization
and the Hebrew University in Je-
rusalem. Both bequests are to be
dedicated to the memory of Mrs.
Rose Katsoff, for scholarships in
the University and for use in the
hospital in Jerusalem with plaque
in her memory.
Born in Chicago, Mr.. Katsoff was
AZ at the time of his death Jan. 2.
His mother was widowed when he
was 4, and she had labored in a de-
partment store to support him, put
ting herself through school at night
in order to become a teacher, a
long and hard task she completed
in her early middle age. He was a
tobacconist. They lived in devotion
to one another and to Jewish
causes.
When she retired from the Chi
cago public school system in 1855,
they visited Israel for months and
then came to Phoenix. Both served
the causes they loved so well, she
serving Beth Ell and Hadassah and
her son in Jewish War Veterans,
B'nai Birth, and Beth FL Congre-
CATION. Mr.. Katsoff was Veteran
of World War II, serving in the
European Theater. He was buried
