In his speech to the Assem-

he stressed that the Soviet
Union recognized the need for
resolving the leadership issue
by taking into account Mr..
Thant's qualities, especially his
role in the Cuban crisis.
Mr.. Zorin held to the hope
that Thant would consult ac-
lively with the eight-man ad-

indication that the Soviet
Union intends to press this
point.

Hits Witness

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. l
(AP).-James r. Hoffa's law
yers will begin presenting his
side of the case Monday when

million conspiracy trial enters
its seventh week in United

The defense said it is pre-
pared to offer strong evidence

jury in his appearance at the
start of the trial.
The witness was identified in
court yesterday as Bertram B.
Beveridge, a former general
manager of Commercial Car
riers, Inc. This is the Detroit

William E. Miller.
At Mr.. Bufalino's request,
Judge Miller directed the

every effort to have Mr.. Bev-
eridge present when the trial

hear from the defense wit
nesses before dciding If he

cluded its case Thursday, con-
tends Mr.. Hoffa violated the

trucks subsequently leased to
CCI.

set up Test Fleet at the sug-
gestion Of owen (Bert) Bren-
nan, Teamster vice president

CAR WITHOUT
ENGINE CLEARED
OF VIOLATION

FREMONT, Ohio (AP)-
John j. Schwable came up
with a classic alibi when he
was charged with having
no license plates on an
automobile parked on a
city street. 1t won him a
dismissal from Mayor
Richard D. Maier.
Mr.. Schwable said the
car had no engine and no
transmission and therefore
could not be classed as a
motor vehicle. Mayor
Maier scratched his head
in puzzlement, but found
that the city ordinance
and State law on license
plates pertain to motor We
hicles. Since the car had
no motor, the Mayor dis
missed the charge.

Brazilian Student Critic
Sent Note by Kennedy

The President tersely replied
that this Nation armed itself
for security reasons only and
anyone who wants war is in
sane"
At the outset of last nights
meeting with the same Bra
lillian student group, Robert
Kennedy said he had a note
from the President for Jose"
and he read it:
II want you to know that I
was glad to have a chance to
answer your question yester-
day. We believe in a free dis
cussion of all these matters
here.
"(s) John F. Kennedy"
Amid a deafening burst of
applause from the other stu
dents, the Attorney General
then handed the note to the
addressee, Jose Kehrle, a 20
year-old engineering student
from Recife, Pernambuco.
For more than an hour, Rob-
ert Kennedy then fielded one
question after another about
this Nations racial problems.
it's attitude toward American
companies accused of exploit
ing foreign nations in which
they operate, and enforcement
of antitrust laws at home.
"Gratified and Moved"
At the end of the lengthy
session, Jose stepped forward
in an apparent attempt to rec
tify what he believed was an
incorrect impression created by
! his question to the President.
1t was understood that the
question had created some hos
tility toward Jose among his
fellow students.
Il am not only gratified but
very deeply moved by the ges-
ture of the President of the
United States in sending me
this note" he said.
1T is because I love peace
and admire the people of the
United States so much that I
asked the question (about war;
in this way.
Il will pray to the Almighty
God to make the President and
the people of his country even
greater lovers of peace"
AS he returned to his seat
following the emotional deliv-
cry Of these words, he was met
with applause, embraces and
handshakes from his compan-
ions.

Mayor a Moderate
Mayor Kelley, a moderate en-
racial issues. worked tirelessly
last December and in the weeks
following in an effort to re-
solve the problems. At che
point, he openly broke with
Staunchly segregationist COM
miSSioners.
The beak came over the COM
missions refusal to accept
Federal funds for a local prof.
ect. saying the Federal money
might carry some desegrega-
ton strings. The Mayor also
tried unSuccesSfully to persuade
the commissioners to take a
conciliatory course early in the
dispute.
The Mayor has expressed
concern over possible loss OF
industries and other adverse
economic effects of the pro-
longed racial conflict.
Albany, a sprawling city with
a substantial segment of silent
moderateS, draws much of its
economic suStenance from two
Federal installations - Turner
Air Force Base and the Marine
Corps supply center.
Each side in the controversy
has accused the other of break
ing faith. Negro leaders in re-
cent months have talked once
with city officials at a regular
commission meeting. But there
has been no real agreement on
the disposition of city court
cases pending against demon
StratorS. or on deSegregation of
public facilities.
Try Sit-ins
Several demonstrators went
to jail yesterday after attempt
ing lunch counter and restau-
rant sit-ins.
More than 300 have been
jailed in the last three weeks.
At the Federal Court hearing,
the city is attempting to prove
that continued demonstrations
would touch off violence and
possible bloodShed. At issue is
whether such activities should
be prohibited by Injunction.
Two police officers, Capt.
Melvin r. Clegg and Detective

Negroes had cursed and threat

Clegg said he was hit by a bot

Police Chief Laurie Pritchett,

ness stand, testified his officers
are at the breaking point" be-
cause of strain from three
