Teumster Guilty
lnContempt Case
By the Associated Press

William Presser, Ohio head
Of the TeamsterS Union, today
was convicted of contempt of
Congress.
United States District Court
Judge James w. Morris ruled
that Mr.. Presser unlawfully re-
fused to say whether he had
destroyed personal or union
records after they had been
subpoenaed by the Senate
Rackets Committee.
Mr.. Presser testified when he
appeared before the committee
September IT, 1858, that he had
complied with the subpoena
ito the best of my ability" and
that he had made available
all records I could get to-
gether."
But when he was aske d
whether he had destroyed any
records after receiving the sub
poena, Mr.. Presser invoked the
Fifth Amendment, claiming an
answer might incriminate him.
Judge Morris upheld the
argument of Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz
that Mr.. Presser opened the
door for cross-examination by
making a broad statement
about the records and thereby
waived his right to claim the
Fifth Amendment.

And Finding Out Was No Snap
By JERRY OLEARY, Jr.
Star stan Writer

There being a great need
to receive the annual weather
prediction from a grounding
on February 2, a task force at
the Washington Zoo set out to
catch one yesterday, and it was
no snap.
Working with picks and
shovels in the outdoor rodents
burrow, the task force first
flushed a skunk named Burt
and a Belgian hare named
Ralph.
Not until the enclosure, so
feet in diameter, was pocked
with holes like a battlefield did
the zookeepers bring up their
heavy artillery-a garden hose.
Approaching the Gods Lit
tie Acre" terrain, the keepers
inserted the hose with the in
tention of flushing out one of
the three hidden groundhogs
for a weather prediction. The
legend goes that if Brother
Grounding sees his shadow, six

will ensue.
