DETROIT, Jan. % (AP).-
Teamsters President James r..
Hoffa says his official attitude
toward President Kennedy is
wait and see." But he quickly
added: Personally, I'll con-
tinue to give him hell"
Mr.. Hoffa presided over a
meeting of Teamster Local
247, a Detroit local which was
placed under trusteeship in
1858 after conviction Of its

over the local were nominated,
and only 433 of about 1000
members attended the meeting.
Mr.. Hoffa indicated some
other Teamster leaders want to

said. Personally, I'll continue

He attacked the AFL-CIO,

He said this was because they

In the words of a friend, Mr..
Hoover is an "old man in a

As q Fund Raiser
On a recent birthday, he held
a rare news conference, in which
it was disclosed that in his 85th
year, he had: attended IS public
functions, made 20 speeches,
answered 21,195 letters. received
% awards, travelled $4,000 miles,
made TV appearances, laid as
sorted cornerStoneS, worked on
his books and raised $1,500,000
for the boys club of America, Of
which he is chairman.
II hope" he said, you will
conclude I have not ceased work"
The remark is typical of the
underStatement and brevity Mr..
Hoover frequently favors in his
prose these days. He works hard
at it, whether the occasion is a
major speech or brief after-dinner
remarks or a short note to the
cook of his friend, Clarence Bud
ington Kelland.
This last usually is addressed

tainS a graceful word of thanks
for the cookies along with a
pointed reminder that he was
returning the jar empty. The hint
never fails and the cookies keep
coming.
He still receives many letters
from school children around the
country asking a variety of direct
questions in laboriously printed
block letters on lined pages. To
all, Mr.. Hoover pencils MS replies,
to be typed by a secretary.

Herbert Hoover is not the sort
of person who lectures anyone,
young or old. But his ideas of pub
lie service are rigid, without COM
promise. To all who ask about a
career as a politician" he gently
suggests they replace the word
with public servant"
When he returned to Washing
ton in 1947 for the first Hoover
commission, he was told he would
have to take a loyalty oath and
be fingerprinted. A secretary was
outraged, and she insisted a for
mer President should not have to
be subjected to this. Said Mr..
Hoover, with a rare display of i'm
patience:
"At no time do I have any OBJ
lection to taking an oath of 10y
atty to my country. At no time
do I object to having my finger
prints taken"
His passion for brevity is leg
endary. The reason he does all
his writing in pencil, he says, is
because tape recorders, debating
machines, smooth-flowing ball
points are all "StimulantS Of YER
boSity."
He rewrites his speeches with
the hunger of perfectionist. Thir-
teen years ago, when he was 73,
he was still rewriting his speech
to the Republican convention at
midnight before delivery. Ten
years ago, when he was rs, he
wrote 20 separate drafts of one
speech before he was satisfied.
Always, he looks to eliminate the
extra word, with the passion of an
engineer striking a useless girder
or bolt from his specifications.

informal conversation. After the

2. We still have enough left

3. Some of my children, grand

4. There will be too much to

letter in which you say: II hope

States some day. I would like to
know how to get ready for the
job" I am glad you have the i'm

take it.
There are three things for you
to keep in mind:
l. No one in these times is
likely to become President who has
not worked all the way through
school and university.
2. No one is likely to become
President unless he is strong in
religious faith - and thus in
in morals.

is around. You will be a boy only
once in your life.

AS in a dream, I found myself
strolling down to the junction of
Fourteenth, E, and Pennsylvania
Avenue. It's a confusing cross
roads, at best, and I found it more
confusing than usual on that
August evening when, as though
summoned by the Norns, I visited
Basins new, "Continental-style"
sidewalk cafe, which opened ear
lier in the month.
The gay little place stands be-
tween a drug store and a multi
story parking building, hard by
the Willard Hotel. The awnings, I
noted, were red and white, the
tables were moderniStic, the
mattresses were pretty, and the
plants were ported, although the
patrons were not.
Putting on bold Gallo front,
I approached a waitress and ask
ed: May speak with Monsieur
BaSSin?" pronouncing it to
rhyme with Pascin. She Smoothed
her white MILDLY blouse, swirled
her black skirt, arched her pen
cilled eyebrow, and replied: Mr..
Basin isn't here"-pronouncin
it as in bassinet. "I'll get Mr..
Zitelman," she added; hes the
big wheel here Harry P. Zitelman.
Take a load off your feet" "MdiS
certdinement," said, and sat
down at the only vacant table.
The place was damned. The
air was hot. An accordioniSt
played among the tables, barely
beSting the traffic din. The bou-
levardiers thronging Pennsylvania
avenue stared: some seemed start
led, some peevish, some dumb
founded. Among the diners were,
appropriately, some interesting
examples of cosmopolitan Wash
ington-I heard Spanish, French,
and Japanese-but the hard core
of the clientele consisted of
Americans.
Memories of Poris
I sat back to SAVIOR, with
nostalgia sigh, my memories of
the Cafe de la Paix, LIE Dome, La
Rotonde, and the Capoulade :.
and was jolted out of my reverie
by a voice behind me ordering
Two cokes. a vanilla matted, and

District Commissioners had not,
as yet, authorized liquor for the

those sudden words shook me.

followed his first farewell to the
Republican National Convention
in 1852, when he noted, from the
memorable course of nature, this
is likely to be the last time I shall
attend your conventions.
1t probably ranked as high in
Herbert Hoover'S memory as the
two unanimous glowing resolu-
tons passed by both houses of
Congress praising his work in be-
half of his country.
In At years of intermittent Gov
eminent service, Herbert Hoover
has turned all his Federal salary
checks over to charity, including
his $25,000-a-year presidential
pension. He has made his fortune
as a mining engineer early in his
career. He gave away all his gov
ernmental income, he once ex-
planned, to acknowledge a great
debt" to his country.
America provided me with an
education, including profession"
he said. Il practiced that profess
SION in years when there was
no income tax or only a small
amount. was able to save a
competence"
While he has mellowed in many
ways and was, some years ago,
talked out of wearing stiff high
collars, Mr.. Hoover still clings to
one hallmark. He still wears a
business suit, shirt and tie even
when fishing or mentioning
among the California redwoods.
NFriends in loud plaid shirts and
dungarees have kidded him about
the rather formal attire. He has
laughed at the kidding and paid
no attention to the broad hints.
He is still lyrical on the subject
of fishing. He is fond of quoting
from an AsSyrian tablet of 1000
BIC, which says: The gods do
not subtract from the allotted span
of mems lives the hours spent in
fishing"
Philosophy Of Fishing
Fishing, he says, sis a chance
to wash ones soul with pure air,
with the ripple OF. the stream and
the simmer of the sun on the
blue waters. 1t brings meekness
and inspiration from the glory
and wonder of nature and char
ity towards tacklemakerS. It
brings mockery of profits; the
quoting of hate and lift of the
spirit"
Of retirement and age, he says
there is no joy to be had from
either without some kind of
productive work. Otherwise you
will degenerate into talking to
everybody about your pains and
pills and income tax"
ANY oldSter who keeps at even
part-ti work has something
worth talking about" he adds.
HE has a zest for the morning
paper and his three meals a day.
The point of all this is not to re-
tire from work or you will Shrivel
up into a nuisance to all man
kind"
He lives and works in a large
comfortable apartment, half of
which is occupied by seven secre-
taries. The place abounds in
awards and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
