Work Force Debated
Mr.. Seaton and Mr.. Wood

unions claim that mechanical
production has cut down Cen
eral Motors work force.
Mr.. Seaton said, 1T seems
the union is trying to create
the impression that we have
not been interested in creating
new job opportunities"
Declaring this was not the
case, Mr.. Seaton said the trend
in employment at GIN has been
upward in the past 10 years.
Mr.. Woodcock had said there
had been a decline of $4,000
hourly rated workers at GIN
since 1855.
The UAW will resume ne
gotiations at GIN and Ford on
Monday and at Chrysler on
Tuesday. Talks were recessed

of the new rules violate State
or Federal law. He cited the
city plan to deny aid to moth
ers CT illegitimate children who
give birth to other illegitimate
children while on relief.
He also agreed with the
State that, under Federal rules,
able bodied men receiving Fed

Mr.. O'Donnell said he was
considering resigning.
When the board said it was
limiting testimony to that di-
rectly connected with New

Manager Joseph Mitchell and
teight other city officials re-
fused to testify.
Bias Charged to Board
Mr.. Mitchell said after the
hearing the board did not
want to hear anything about
Newburgh's social and economic
programs. He told reporters
the city will go ahead with it's
program as planned.
Mr.. Mitchell had brought a
statement with him to the
hearing, but he never read it.
The statement said the city did
not believe ANY Government
department has the right to
conduct its program without
regard to society as a whole"
adding:
Newcomers have no right to
wreck our city. They have no
right to prejudice the interests
of our citizens. We do not
think it is moral to appropriate
public funds to finance crime,
Iillegitimacy, disease and other
social evils"

BY the Associatsd Press

Continued high temperatures
and short rainfall will hold in
the drough-ravaged area of the
Great Plains through July. it
was predicted yesterday as 80
more counties in three States
were added to disaster rolls.
Wayne C. Palmer, United
States Weather Bureau china
tologist in Washington, said
serious droughts seldom are
eased in July, adding that
long-range forecasts show a
continuation of the h4gh-heat,
low rainfall squeeze that is
bringing woe, to- farmers and
stockmen.
Mr.. Palmer said precipita-
tion for the 10 months to June
was less than half of normal
for the drought territory. He
added that conditions were
aggravated by a hot June sun
that soaked up what ground
moisture there was. 1t. would
have required normal rainfall
plus one inch, for the area to
have held its own against the
heat, Mr., Palmer reported.
The new disaster declara-
tions brought to 139 the num-
ber of counties in six States
eligible for emergency Federal
aid. These included SO in
North Dakota, the hardest hit;
IS in Minnesota, 20 in Eastern
Montana. II in South Dakota,
IL in Wisconsin and three in
Wyoming. .- -...
The aid program includes
permission for haying or graz
ing of soil bank lands, plus
eligibility for low-interest loans
and the right to buy feed grain
at current support prices.
Threat of a massive grass
hopper invasion, previously re-
ported in Eastern Montana,

After the second week OF

Advises Critics to Get Lost

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, July 8
(AP).-James R. Hoffa today
advised his critics to get lost.
He said he's whipped 'em and
they might as well admit it.
Mr.. Hoffa, 48. a one-time
Detroit warehouse hand, was
elected overwhelmingly yester-
day to a second five-year term
as president of the TeamSters,
the Nations largest labor un-
ion. over only token opposition.
Seriously" Mr.. Hoffa re-
marked later, II think Bobby
Kennedy, his brother the Pres
ident, the Secretary of Labor.
and the supposed Senate Select
Committee ought to recognize
now that the time and effort
they've put in trying to destroy
the Teamsters have completely
failed. 1t was a waste of time"
Mr.. Hoffa referred, of course,
to President Kennedy. Attor-
ney General Robert F. Ken
nedy, Labor Secretary Gold
berg. and to the Senate inves-
tigating committee headed by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas.
Suggested Course
From now on, they ought
to leave us alone" Mr.. Hoffa
said. They ought to quit fool
ing around and let us operate
as a trade union and as Ameri-
cans"
Mr.. Hoffa said the charges
and Investigations piled up
against him and the teamsters
during nearly four years have
been no picnic. but he said he
isn't nervous about them con-
tinuing.
He said that congressional
critics ought to admit that,
while they may embarraSS and
harasS teamsters, they can't
frighten EN-"
Mr.. Hoffa was asked about
his goals for the next five years
as head Of the IL million team
sters. He said he wants to in
crease the unions membership
to at least 2 million and return
to "the house of labor" mean
ing the AFL-CIO. The fedora
ton expelled the teamsters for
corruption several years ago.
Lower Retirement Age
Mr.. Hoffa said that another
aim is to minimize strikes while
reducing the accepted retire
ment age to SIS years after 20l
years of work. The present
social security retirement age
is SIS, but Mr.. Hoffa has ne
gotiated a 60-year-retirement
age in most teamsters con-
tracts.
The teamSterS convention
adjourned last night after a
flamboyant finale to the five
day session. The approximately
1000 delegates engaged in a
noisy and colorful election ses-
sion, whipped up by a jazz
band and such slogans as Go,

slide. His only opponent, Mil

benefits.
