Witness Tells
OF Hoffa Aid

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 80
| (AP).-The Government con-
tinues its effort today to show
through a key witness that
| a Detroit auto haulin g
firm bought labor peace with
a concealed payoff to Team
sters President James r. Hoffa.
Bertram B. Beveridge, for
mer general manager of Com
mercial Carriers, Inc, told a
Federal District Court jury yes
terday he talked over his firms
labor troubles with Mr.. Eoffa
in December, 1948. Mr.. Hoffa
then encouraged striking union
drivers to return to work, he
said.
Government attorneys con-
tend that several months later
Commercial Carriers formed
and operated free of charge
a profitable truck leasing firm
for Mr.. Hoffa and Owen Bren-
nan, Teamster official who died
last year.
Mr.. Beveridge was questioned
| in detail about his relations
with Mr.. Hoffa as the second
week of the labor leaders 81
million conspiracy trial began.
Contacted H0ffa
The witness, now a resident
of Palm Beach County, Fla,
said he decided to contact Mr..
Hoffa in the fall of 1948 fol-
lowing a series of shutdownS
and vandalism at Commercial
Carriers Flint, Mich, terminal.
He said he wrote Mr.. Hoffa to
ask that the Transfers honor
their contract.
The Government charged in
| its opening statement that
Commercial Carriers sweet
ened Hoffa's deal" by forming
the truck leasing firm several
months after he ended the
strike.
Asked by a Government at
torney If he did not testify
before a Federal grand jury
that Mr.. Hoffa told the strikers
to "go back to work or they'd
be sued for every cent they
had" Mr.. Beveridge said he
could recall no such statement.
Loan Arrangement
John Fox, president of Mer-
camille Trust Co. of st. Louis,
testified Mr.. Beveridge tele-
phoned him April 6, 1919, to
arrange a bank loan for a new
firm called Test Fleet Corp.
Mr.. Fox said he was told the
owners of the venture were "a
Mr.. Hoffa and a Mr.. Brennan"
Test Fleet was chartered
here in 1949 with its stock
listed in the maiden names of
Mrs. Hoffa and Mrs. Brennan.
The Government said this was
"a clever effort to cover up the
ownership"
In its indictment, the grand
jury charged that Test Fleet
leased the trucks to CONNER
cial Carriers from 1949-58 for
a gross payment Of $1,008, 057
of which Mr.. Hoffa and Mr..
Brennan netted $242,273 before
taxes.

Chinese Reds.
Against that view are those
who say Xhrushchev is firmly in
command of the situation but is
exploiting the party conflict to win
new concessions" from the West.
In any case there is a tremend-
GUS effort now being made to per-
suade us that we have an import
ant stake in keeping Khrushchev
in power. 1t is, we are told, Khru-
shchev-or else.
Or else what? Should Khru-
shchev be toppled from power, the
warning goes, you cannot be sure
who will take his place. It could
be a Communist fatalist, or a mil
itarist, who does not believe there
can be peaceful coexistence" but
who regards war with the West as
inevitable. Such a man might be-
lieve in striking first.
This view is being put forth in
many quarters. 1t comes from dip
lomats of the non-aligned nations
and other observers. They feel we
are paying too much attention to
Khrushchev's froth and shoe
pounding which, in their judgment,
is play-acting.
The contempt for Khrushchev's
"soft-line on capitalism" demon
strated by Mao, Molotov and Hox-
ha is the real thing-and a threat
to the West they say.
It would be q mistake to dis
miss this contention as unim-
pOrtant, even though we observe
signs of a well-directed cam
paign. However, we need not ac-
cept 1t at face-value.
The suggestion that now is the
time for all good men to come to
the aid of the Communist Party
Of the Soviet Union is Just as
naive as the notion that we can
cope with world problems by TAX
ing a die-hard, no-give stance in
every contact with the Communist
world.
Now Is the time for all good
men to keep their heads. Since the
State Dept. has to walk a tight
rope, hysteria from the Right or
the Left viii not help keep our
balance.
1t is important, though, to study
what facts are available as a guide
to future action. We all under
stand by now that we are dealing
with men who have sworn eternal
hostility to our democratic system.
Their record Of deception in the
realm Of nuclear arms testing does
not exactly establish their standing
as men of honor.
On the other hand, sheer anti
Communist fanaticism does not
help, either. AS hostile to US as
their old leaders may be, the Rus

slams are human beings. They, too,
may be tired of the hard life Of the
last 40 years, the deprivation and
the huge military expenditures.
They may yearn for those very
Western comforts about which

Khrushchev probably is a much
smarter politician than his oppon-
ents. 1t would be wise to assume
that he understands the mood of
his people.
That brings us back to the CEN
trail point of the present dialogue:
Since we want to create a friend
lier climate between West and
East, how can we help moderate
elements inside Russia, If there
are any, rise to power and stay
there?
There are no precise answers, as
the State Department experts
know to their sorrow. To med
die" in the internal affairs" of
the Communist nations could pro-
duce just the opposite effects of
what we want. Another school of
thought would have us indicate by
some sign that we know Khru-
shchev is a good" Communist and
his opponents are bad Commun-
lists.
We may have to do a great
deal Of re-thinlxing Of our posi-
tiOn vis-a-vis Russia. Up to now,
for example, we have accepted
their assumption that time is
working against us. Actually
time may be on our side, not
theirs, and a relaxation Of ten
sion would pose problems for
them.
The entire Communist movement
has a stake in adversity. Good
times and prosperity mean bad
times for their cause. The fabulous
success Of the Common Market in
increasing the consumption Of con-
sumner goods has in turn brought
about a decreasing interest In the
Communist parties of Western
Europe.
We therefore have a key as to
how to weaken Communism
without overt action.
There is also an area where the
non-aligned nations can still play
an important role. If they want the
liberalization" and "democratiza-
ton" Of the Soviet Union, then
they cannot sit by silently when
Khrushchev reluctantly yields" to
his militarists and resumes nuclear
testing. That can only encourage
the Soviet hard liners"
