Hoffa Defense.
Fights 10 Bar
Charts at Trial

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 20
(AP). The Governm e mt
touched off a legal row yes
terday when it produced two
mammoth charts at the 81 mil
lion conspiracy trial Of James
r. Hoffa, president of the
Transfers Union.
The defense objected strongly
and Federal District Judge VIII
liam E. Miller commented from
the bench that admission of the
charts would "open up endless
avenues of inquiry" that might
greatly protract this trial"
Trial in Sixth Week
"And I don't know if the
Jury or the court for that
matter, can last that long, I"
Judge Miller added. The trial
is in its sixth week.
Mr.. Hoffa, 40, is accused of
violating the Taft-Hartley Act
by accepting a payoff from
Commercial Carriers. Inc, a
Detroit-based auto hauler, in
return for labor peace. The
Government says Test Fleet
Corp, a truck leasing firm,
served as a businesslike dis
guise for the payoff.
Test Fleet was chartered here
in 1919 with its stock listed in
the maiden names of Mrs
Hoffa and Mrs. Owen Bert
Brennan. Mr.. Brennan,
Hoffa aide, died in 1860.

cept amended vote returns from
all 10 counties which have been
in dispute. This would make
Gov. Andersen the apparent
winner by 142 votes.
The court split on the ques-
ton, apparently 80, with the
majority holding for Gov. An
dersen. A detailed opinion Cit
ing reasons for the view and
dissenting reasons will be filed
later.
Essence Of the courts opinion
was:
'The majority of those mem
bers of the court sitting at the
hearing are of the opinion that
the amended reports reflected
the true vote Of the people in
the 10 counties affected and
that the corrections, having
been made prior to the meet
ing Of the State Canvassing
Board, should be accepted"
The courts directive means
that Gov. Andersen will receive
619,722 votes, Mr.. Rolvaag,
619,5S0.
The State Supreme Court
heard arguments yesterday over
two sets of election figures
placed before the canvassing
board. One showed Mr.. Roll
vaag in the lead by So votes
and the other, including the
changes from the 10 counties.

record available in arguing that
the board must ccept the fig
ures "as corrected"
Mr.. Rolvaag's attorney, sgd

authority to reconvene once
they have sent in their original
vote totals.

MlKOYAN

Continued FROM rage Al
There are 80 or more Of those
aircraft in Cuba.
Mr.. Mikoyan has given public
support to Mr.. Castro's de-
mand that the United States
get out of its Guantanamo
Naval Base and, in effect. drop
opposition to his regime.
Original Status Seen
The United States, officials
said, has no intention of con-
sidering such q demand and in
general feels the Cuban situa-
ton is about back to where 1t
was before the Russians
slipped their missiles and
bombers into the island.
When Mr.. Mikoyan was on
his way to Cuba, it is under
stood, he told United States Of
ficials in New York that he
would like to talk with Mr..
Kennedy. At that time he was
expected to be In Havana only
a few days. One mystery Is
why he stayed so long.
When he finally was prepar-
ing to leave Havana the Soviet
officials at the United Nations
were told that If he wished to
visit Washington the President
would see him.
Presumably he decided to
come here upon instructions
from Mr.. Khrushchev. Since he
was forced to back down in
Cuba, the Soviet Premier has
thrown out a number Of hints
about extending an improve
ment in United States Soviet
relations into other fields. But
there has been no concrete
move.
Fail to Stir Hope
Mr.. Khrushchev, for exam
pie, has talked a great deal
about the need for arms con-
troll, and Soviet officials have
been talking particularly about
some kind of end to nuclear
testing. None Of their COM
ments or plans, however, has
given Western policymakers
any real hope of breaking the
deadlock over inspection.
The failure of Mr., Khru-
shchev to make good on his
promise of q. N. inspection in
Cuba Is seen here as a dis
couraging fact in relation to
disarmament prospects.
Thus the big problem for Mr..
Kennedy and his advisers is to
try to learn whether the Rus
sian talk about improving re-
lations means anything on any
specific problem, or whether it
Is q propaganda cover for the
Soviet retreat from Cuba-and
possibly for an intensified Rus
sian arms buildup.

arguments, Judge Miller an
nounced he would rule today
on whether the charts would
be admitted as evidence. The
jury had been sent home be-
fore the charts were hauled
into the. courtroom.
Government attorneys said
the charts were designed to
show that trucks assigned by
Commercial Carriers to its
Cadillac terminal in Detroit
could expect to earn more
money than those sent to other
terminals.
Earlier testimony showed
that Commercial Carriers leased
10 trucks from Test Fleet and
assigned them to the Cadillac
center from 1949-1e58.
Profit Estimates Offered
One chart purported to show
that a truck at the Cadillac
terminal could reasonably ex-
pect to gross $1,000 a year more
than a truck assigned to the
second most profitable terminal.
The other chart, the prosecu-
ton said, showed that Cadillac
had the highest net profit ratio
of any Commercial Carrier
terminal.
Defense attorneys said the
charts were completely mis-
leading because they were based
on gross revenues earned by
the terminals.
A more accurate comparison,
the defense said, would be the
net earnings Of trucks assigned

Prosecutor Oliver Nugent, Miss
Fell said she hoped that by
showing the documents she
could convert the Yugoslav to
a pro-Western attitude.
Mr.. Nugent said that the
documents were known tech
nically as Foreign Office prints.
They were dispatches and re-
ports intended for the British
Foreign Secretary and later cir
culated to some heads of de-
partments.
None Of these documents, he
said, was classified. and in no
case was the security of the
state endangered.

BLUE COLLAR PAY RAISES
The Defense Department has
announced pay raises averaging
ll12 cents an hour for its
$4,000 per diem (blue collar)
workers in the Washington
area. It's about an average AZ
per cent raise.
Another 10000 or $4,000 blue
collar employees in non-defense
Federal agencies in this area
are expected to get similar
raises, since the non-defense
agencies always follow the lead
of Defense in blue collar pay
adjustments.
The new raise continues the
pattern of annual pay raises
for Government blue collar
workers here since 1915. It will
become effective on the first
payday on or after December 4.
The Defense pay raise ap-
plies to blue collar workers in
Army, Navy and Air Force De-
partments and installations
here.
