with two other pending trials,
both in Nashville, Tenn. One
involves retrial Of a Taft Hart

December in a hung jury. The
other is a jury-tampering
charge stemming from the
earlier Nashville trial.
The Chicago indictment fol-
lows a two-year investigation

cities. The Justice Department
said related matters" are still

The grand jury specifically
charged that Mr.. Hoffa "hy
fraud. deceit. Misrepresentation
and overreaching," abused his
trust and violated his duty as
a trustee BY getting his fellow
trustee to approve loans which
his co-defendaIlts managed to

with loan applications before
they were presented to the
trustees, making false and mis-
leading statements and con-
cealing facts from his fellow

that he was surprised at the

voicing objections, Gen. Le-
May declared that, once the

that any of us would have
gone to the President at that
stage of the game"
Secretary Of State Rusk, at
q news conference last Fri
day, was asked whether there
wasn't IAN unresolved differ
ence in this Government" on
the treaty, and he replied:
I'm not sure that I would
call such q difference I'M

tive branch is headed by the

States"
This is tantamount to say
ing that. despite the military
expertness Of the members
Of the Joint Chiefs in their
respective fields, they can be
and are overruled by the
President and by his civilian
advisers who can place politi-
cal experimentation in inter-
national affairs above the
necessary safeguards against
nuclear advances by an adj
versary state.

nifty to give its advice" be-
fore the treaty was signed.
Now the treaty will have to
be ratified, or else the Senate
will be placed in the posi-
ton Of taking full RESPONSE
bility for the consequences
in the field Of diplomacy. II,
on the other hand, Rus
STA chooses to cheat or abro-
gate"-as Gen. LeMay says
might happen-it will be too
late to argue about "politi-
cal factors" or met mill
tary disadvantages" Of q
treaty which may have put
the United States behind In

the treaty has been even
better than anticipated.
White House and Con-
gressional mail alike show at
this point more fear Of what
continued testing can do to

politicians blame mothers for

unfair reflection on the de-
votion Of men to their fami-

It could be also In spite

One OF the most common
current political expressions,
heard widely in the South
and often In the North, is the
one that goes: Bobby is sure
hurting his brother"
The specifics behind these
misgivings on Robert F. Ken
nedy are less defined than
their cause - the Attorney
General is marked for dis
favor because he is a young
man who is closely related to
the President and deeply in
volved in the most trying
internal problem Of the time.
The equal rights agitation
is clearly hurting the Presi-
dent In popular acceptance,
but there is little to support
a notion that any Attorney
General could be more sue
cesSful than his brother In
avoiding the resentments that
are inherent in the racial
frictions.
Il am obligated by my oath
Of office to uphold and en-
force the law" the younger
Kennedy told a group of
Southerners last April. IF

case the law accurately re-
fleets the needs of the coun-
try and its people"
Because he Is direct and
vigorous and because his

sometimes charged with be-
ing a militant spearhead of
the Negro drive, the man out
in front of the Negro leaders.

I sub NIT, in answer, the

port. It fatty says: There

clude by saying that the

can be accepted in order to
seek the important gains
which may be achieved
through q sterilization Of In
ternational relations and q
move toward q peaceful en-
vironment in which to seek
resolution Of our differences
1.-THE mention Of risks, !
say, Is q conscientious mill
tary evaluation. The de-
cision that the risks are ac-
ceptable is not. It Is an echo
Of a State Department evalu-
alton and not of one that
necessarily sounds very
deeply the real civilizations Of
our professional military
men,"
The official statement Of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff
says pointedly that the risks
inherent in the treaty can
be accepted IF adequate
safeguards are established"
Now the debate has begun as
to what the Safeguards" are
and where the responsibility
for providing them is to be
placed. Gen. LeMay testified
that no one has said as yet
what safeguards would be
provided. Two Senate commit
tees have asked that the ad-
ministration provide q bill
of particulars"
Senator Richard Russell Of
Georgia, chairman Of the
Armed Services Committee,
also asked the chiefs Of the
Army, the Navy and the Ma
rine Corps whether they
would have approve d
the treaty "in the absence Of
these safeguards" and each
replied that he would not
have done so. In answer to Q
question from Senator Bourke

publican, Gen. LeMay said
that If you automatically
cut off the political factors,
there are net disadvantages

rected as long as possible at
Cancellation. Told by a re-
porter as he went to see Gov.
Wallace in Montgomery that
the Governor had called him
a "pugnacious sapling," Mr.. ,
Kennedy replied. He Is en-.
titled to his opinion, and II
he will see me, I will be
honored to see him" -
His first reaction to the
April demonstrations in
Birmingham was a sharp re-
greet that the Negroes had not
awaited the imminent inaug-
uration of the more moderate
mayor, and as the tide of
protest rose there and elsea
where, he and his aides
worked hard-not as cru
Saders to impose the Negro
detectives, but as conciliators
to find a basis for accord.
Some say that he has over
reacted to the ferment,
and 1t is certainly true that
his response has not been
limited to the legal anc
tactical steps that directly
involve his department. He
has absorbed himself in the
economic and sociological
roots Of the problem, sur
veyed the causes of the Ne
groes' educational shortcom-
ings, and become the co-or-
dinating force for initiatives
throughout the Government.
This is characteristic. In
the words Of one aide, Bob
Is a fellow who tries to meet
the situation" He has as
sessed the racial unrest as
urgent and dangerous and
committed his prestige anc
energies to the pursuit Of Its
remedies. He suffers hostility
from both sides, but he is
acting by instinct and habit
to help his brother.
