Senator Kennedy Travelled by
car and strolled through slushy
streets shaking hands, signing
autobraphs and making brief
speeches.
He told the crowds, wearing
red blazers and galoshes:

contenders voted for the anti
corruption measure.
Pins Blame on Kennedy
Since Senator Kennedy man
aged the reform bill on the
Senate floor and in conference
with the House. Mr.. Hoffa holds
him responsible. But he can
not. without violating his self
avowed principles, come out for
any of the other leading presi-
Dental aspirantS.
Only Senator Morse Of Ore
gon, who is running in some
Democratic primaries, rates Mr..
Hoffa's wholehearted approval.
Senator Morse voted against
the reform bill, and has intro
duced amendments to soften
it. He also is campaigning
against Senator Kennedy on
the labor reform issue.
Aside from TIE difficulty of
finding a friendly candidate,
TeamSter strategists are wor-
rying about the backlash efs
fects of Mr.. Hoffa's political
activities. In Wisconsin, for
example, Senator Kennedy is
almost boastful about Mr..
Hoffa's enmity. and Senator
Humphrey is showing signs of
embarrassment.
Strong Teamster Vote
And 56 members of the House
who have been aSsailed by Mr..
Hoffa have established the
Committee to Re-elect Hoffa-
Threatened Congressman, ap-
pealing for funds and campaign
workers on the basis that Mr.
Hoffa opposes them.
A Teamster aide conceded
that some people will say. If
Hoffa's against him, he's my
man." But, this analyst con-
tinued, it all depends on the
area of the country involved.
In some closely contested Sec
| tiOnS. he noted there are
enough Teamster members and
their families to swing the bal
ance if they vote in a bloc.
The unions magazine has
made this point by publishing
a map showing the the distri-
button of Teamster member
ship in juxtaposition with a
map showing presidential pri-
mary dates. 1T is easy to

visualize how much effect
Teamster families can have on
the outcome of the presidential
nominations of each of the po-
litical parties" the accom-
panying article said.
Convention Influence
Citing the Wisconsin pri-
mary as an example, the ar
ticle added that 1T is not hard
to see that they CTeamster
members and their families)
might well determine who will
control their States delegates
at the national conventions"
Mr.. Hoffa has emphasized
that Teamster political activity
will preserve the autonomy Of
individuals and locals.

ment of last years strict labor
reform law and for the Senate
Rackets Committees investiga-
ton of his union.
1--WE advised Jim that we
can't in good conscience sup
port any of the presidential
candidates ana that we should
concentrate on the congress
sional races" a high-ranking
Hoffa aide said yesterday. "Of
course" he added, II don't
know whether he'll follow my
advice"
So far the unions formal
political efforts are concen-
trating on congressional races,
but Mr.. Hoffa personally is
stumping to defeat Senator
Kennedy. He uses union pub
locations and other outlets to
attack the Senator and he
urges defeat of the Kennedy
candidacy in speeches to
Teamster audiences.
Hoffa to Speak in Wisconsin
Mr.. Hoffa has scheduled
several such speeches in Wis
consin. where Senator Ken
nedy is battling Senator Hum
phrey of Minnesota in a crucial
primary campaign.
If Senator Kennedy contin.
ues his strong race as the
Democratic convention draws
close. the strain may become
too great for Mr.. Hoffa to beal
and he may insist on throwing
the unions resources into the
fray.
IF Kennedy gets the NOM
ination-God Forbid don't
know what Jim will do" ar
adviser said. Mr.. Hoffa's feel
ings about Senator Kennedy
are so strong that he might
take the radical step-for q
union leader-of supporting the
Republican candidate.
Mr.. Hoffa's anti-Kennedy
campaign so far has concen-
trated on opposing the Senator
without affirmatively support
ing another contender. He faces
a dilemma. He has told his
unions members that he never
would vote-nor should they
for anyone who voted to pass
the labor reform bill. The
trouble is that all the major

announced that the road con-
Meeting northbound traffic on

rial parkway with Rosslyn Cir
Gle and Key Bridge will be
closed for go days, beginning
Wednesday.
Harry T. Thompson, super

Mr.. Thompson said that dur

He said traffic, which in the
past has used the road, should
reach Rosslyn or Key Bridge
by way of Arlington boulevard
to Arlington Ridge road and
then to Rosslyn.
Mr.. Thompson said the
change would no doubt incon-
venience some persons. But,
he said, it was being tried in the
public interest to alleviate traf-
flc on the parkway.

struck his boat broadside,
broke the windshield, knocked
out both radios and threw him
into the water, Mr.. Lee said.
He was picked up in the

and the boat then went out

NEW MARKET, Va. June l3
(SpeciaD Following the bib

Adventist publishers are now
increasing their volume of
literature as one an
swer to the problem of i'm
moral literature and over
stimulating comic books, a
Washington ID. c. church Of
flcial said here today.
Bruce M. Wickwire, secre-
tary of the publishing depart
ment of the Columbia Union
Conference of Seventh-Day
Adventists, addressed a rally
this morning at the annual
summer conference Of Vir-
ginia Adventists.
Even television hasn't slowed
the boom in religious litera-
ture," Mr.. Wickwire said. IF
TV is weaving people away
from good reading. the pub
fishers with whom work aren't
aware of it," Literature sales
of his denomination last year
topped $22 million, he said.
In some ways" he contin-
ued, "teleyision can actually
stimulate the reading of good
literature by awakening an in
terest in travel, industry and
even religion, but by the same
token it also has the power of
stimulating an interest in low
level reading"
Mr.. Wickwire also scored eff
forts made by many publishers
to load bookstands with filthy
literature. ="
THE flood of lewd books
and magazines overf1owing the
shelves Of American news
stands today constitute moth
ing more than brazen text
books on crime and sex per-
version" he asserted.
Indecent literature is cor
rupting old and young alike, u
he said. This is directly re-
flected in the mounting toll of
sex crimes, breakdown of home
life and a general lowering of

MonChurged
With BiIkinq
Widow, 90

A convicted drug addict ap-
peared in Municipal Court to-
day to face charges of cheating
a 93-year-old Northwest widow
out of $2,100.
Thomas Beauchamp Penne-
we'll, 81, of Baltimore, told the
woman he needed the money
for a brain operation for his
15-month-old son, police said.
When arrested, the man was
about to get another $4,000
from the widow, according to
Detective Sergt. Mark Gray of
the Robbery Squad.
Sergt. Gray said the woman
had been praying daily for the
child's recovery. Actually, the
policeman added. Pennewell
does not have an infant son.
Pennewell first went to the
womans' home May %. He was
given one check for $500 and
another for $780,. Pennewell
signed a receipt, pledging to
pay back the money in one year
at 4 per cent interest. But he
used an alias on the receipt,
Sergt. Gray stated.
Then on Saturday night
Pennewell returned and told
the woman his son had turned
blue" overnight while in the
hospital. Another operation
was needed Immediately. he
said.
The woman talked on the
phone to a man identified by
Pennewell as the surgeon. She
was told the second operation
would cost $4,000.
AS she was getting ready to
write the check. a roomer who
had overheard the converse
ton telephoned police. The
officers arrived "in the nick o1
time" Sergt. Gray said.
Pennewell has a long record
of housebreaking and drug ad-
diction, police said.
Pennewell was arraigned be-
fore Municipal Court Judge An
drew J. Howard, jr., and helc
for grand jury action under
$500 bond.
He told Judge Howard that

tics, but the floor was soon
taken by German girl study
ing business management who
said industry here would be
more efficient if management
were less RESPONSIVE to labor's
demands.
Other students wondered
why American workers never
supported a labor party, why
union members tolerated cor
rupt leaders, when Negroes
would achieve full equality,
what had become of American
individualiSm, or why Ameri-
cans do not treat religion Seri-
ously.
Good Natured Complaints
Further discussion brought
out good-natured complaints
on the views some Americans
have toward other nations.
THE late John Foster
Dulles" said George S. Papa
dopoulo of Egypt, "once urged
Jews and Arabs to settle their
differences according to Chris
tain principles"
Some Americans still ask
me if Bagdad has parking lots
for camels," reported Miss
Najla Hilary of Iraq.
You can give us a broad
mind and a scientific ap-
proach; we can give you tradi-
ton and morals" a girl from
India told Senator Boothe.
In three days of spirited
give and take among the stu
dents and the discussion lead
ers, the assembly accomplished
its object of finding out what
foreign students learned during
their stay in America.
Leaders Were Questioned
Discussion leaders we're
representative American public
figures. They attempted to
interpret aspects of American
/ life raised by the articulate
students.
| Each day three Of them ex-
pounded on their view of the
United States, then submitted
to intensive questioning by
their audience.
| Among the discussion leaders
were Allan Nevins, biographer;
Abe Raskin, labor writer for
the New York Times; Wander
bilt University Chancellor Har-
vie Branscomb, and Benjamin
! E. Mays, Negro president of
Atlanta's Morehouse College.
Edward A.. Weeks, editor Of
the Atlantic Monthly, was a
speaker, as were Stanley c..
Hope, past president of the
National Association of Manu-
facturers; Alfred KAHN, au-
thor, and Mrs. Edgar Tobin,
San Antonio (Tex) civic
leader.
The students ranged in age
from 19 to 40; their fields of
study are as far apart as Ger
amicS and international law.
Winthrop Rockefeller, chair
man of the board of Colonial
Williamsburg, moderated some
sessions. His father, the late
John D. Rockefeller, jr., be-
gan the restoration of Will
liamSburg to it's Colonial ap-
pearance in 1926.
Colonial Williamsburg, the
foundation operating this re-
stored capital of Colonial Vir-
ginia, sponsored the assembly
and the Prelude to Independ-
ence ceremony accompanying
lit on Saturday.
| Charles Malik, former presi-
dent of the United Nations
General Assembly, spoke at
the ceremony, commemorating
Virginia'S passage of the Reso-
luton for independence and
the Declaration of Rights dur
ing a 40-day period preceding
