Release Delegates From Unit Ruling Haggerty Claims Decided Victory CHICAGO <UP> — Thomas J. Haggerty, "clean up" candidate for president of the International Teamsters Union, today claimed the Chicago Teamster Jcint Council handed him a "decided victory" in his race against James R. Hoffa. Haggerty referred to the Chicago council’s decision Monday night to release its 180 delegates, previously pledged to Hoffa, from the unit rule. That means they will be able to vote as they please at the Teamsters' international convention in Miami, Fla . later this month. However, Haggerty’s victory was less than complete as the 35,000-member joint council refused to revoke its earlier endorsement of Hoffa for the $50,000-a---year post being vacated by Dave Beck. The council, which will represent about 10 per cent- of the voting strength at the convention, endorsed Hoffa Aug 31 befofe Haggerty became a candidate. Hoffa Is Confident Although Haggerty failed to win . the council's endorsement, he said its decision to release delegates from the unit rule made him “more confident than ever" he would be elected president. The K»-year-old treasurer of the Chicago Milk Drivers Local 753 said he was “jubilant” over the outcome and termed it "a decided victory for me.” "Without unit rule binding them," Haggerty said, "delegates will be left , alone with their conscience in the balloting.” Hoffa, contacted in Detroit, appeared just as certain that the council’s action amounted to a victory for him. “They (the council) reaffirmed ■ the fact that they will endorse me for president," Hoffa told United Press. “They did not put into affect the unit rule because they have never operated under the

unit rule.” Toronto Unit Suspended Hoffa's last statement was disputed- by Ray Schloessing, Chicago Joint Council president, who said “historically, this council has always gone to a convention bound by the unit rule." Haggerty, who also is a member of the Chicago Board of Education and a civic leader, scored another victory Monday when the executive board of the Cincinnati Joint Council of Teamsters voted him its solid support. But he suffered a setback a few hours later when the largest Canadian Teamster local, which was backing his candidacy, was suspended and its voting rights In the convention cancelled. Haggerty charged the General Truck Drivers Local 938 of Toronto was suspended because it had endorsed him instead of Hoffa. The international union said it suspended the Toronto local because the Canadian unit failed to pay $22,000 in per capita taxes William Mills, president of the Toronto local, termed the international's explanation “trumped up charges." Mills said Hoffa moved to suspend the local to strangle Hoffa’s opposition to the union's top office.

Indicates Hoffa Seeking New Ally Two Unions Face Possible Ouster WASHINGTON (W — Teamster Vice President James R. Hoffa apparently is trying to woo the Bakery Workers Union into an alliance, labor sources said today. Both unions are facing a possible ouster by the AFL-CIO on corruption charges. The sources said Hoffa, who is expecetd to be elected president of the union at the coming Teamster convention, flew in a chartered plane from Detroit to Cincinnati for a 45-minute talk Monday night to the Bakery Workers Executive Board. At the meeting Hoffa was reported to have told Bakery Workers President James G. Cross that he hoped they would be “traveling the same road” when they next met in Miami, where the Teamsters are holding their convention Sept. 30. The sources here said this could be an indication Hoff a is seeking an ally if the AFL-CIO takes disciplinary action. While Hoffa campaigns to become the successor to Dave Beck, the Senate Rackets Committee is delving back into his past again. The committee said it would resume hearings Sept. 24 on Hoffa’s activities. Hoffa is being invited but not compelled to put in an appearance. The AFL-CIO Executive Council is expected to issue specific clean-up orders to the Teamsters and Bakery Workers next week. If the orders aren't heeded both unions could face explsion — although that step would have to be taken by a full convention of the labor organization. CAIRO (Continued from Page One)day.

Predicts Creation 'r ■ - Os Space Platforms Scientists Study Cosmic Radiation MILWAUKEE (UP) - Air Force "space man” Maj. David Simons has predicted the creation of "platforms" at the fringe of outer space on which teams of scientists would study cosmic radiaticn and the solar system. Simons explained Monday night that the platforms would be fixed at an altitude at which scientists could remain indefinitely for their studies. He said the altitude to which he rose in a balloon a few weeks ago, about 20 miles, was ideal fdr this type of observation. He said he had encountered only a few minor problems at this height—most of them because he didn’t descend when he was supposed to. “The system was designed for about 24 hours and I stayed up there about 30 hours. My water supply ran low, the battery power for some of my equipment was fading, and the weather became threatening," he said. Simons said it would be possible to build a much bigger capsule than the one he rode in. However, desipe the close quarters, he said be experienced no physical difficulty and even managed to catch several “catnaps.” *The baldish major said he felt he was on the "edge of heaven looking at mortal man below" as he neared the end of his ascent. “I saw sights like I’ve never seen before- The clouds looked like cotton balls and the earth was a combination of faded colors looking like something that had been washed too much.” Simons, who reached a record height for a manned balloon, said multiple man flights to at least 20 miles would eventually become routine in man's search for the answers to space travel.

Expected To Double Significant Trend In Auto Industry DETROIT (UP)—Americans this year will buy twice as many foreign cars as they did last year—the little midgets that scoot around the suburbs and run from 30 to 60 miles on a gallon of gas. * Auto makers concede it is one of the most significant trends in the industry, but there is considerable disagreement whether American manufacturers should enter the field themselves Sales of small European cars in 1957 will total somthing like 180,000. It is interesting to note tthat is about the same figure the new Edsel will be shooting for its first year. Hundreds of dealers who have American car franchises now are handling foreign car lines. Foreign Names Now Familiar Names that were unknown a few years ago are becoming familiar —Volkswagen, Renault, Anglia. MG, Metropolitan, Austin, Healy. Jaguar, Simca, Hillman Minx, Mercedes-Benz, Triumph, Morris Minor, Porsche, Volvo, Opel, Vauxhall, Citroen The big questions for auto executives are “why” and “what”: Why are people buying them and what should American firms do about it. One dealer who has talked about the “why” is Preston M. Marble, head of Sports Car, Inc., in Denver. Marble points out that the foreign cars must be broken down distinctly into the precision built (and not inexpensive) sports car and the economy car. Imports Are Cheaper Marble can sell an economy foreign car in* Denver for SI,BOO. That is S4OO-500 under the very cheapest American model. The sports car buyer, on the other hand, is seeking styling and exclusiveness, and it is this “sadist" approach which perturbs American companies. ; But economy is not a fad It is what has led General Motors to start importing the Opel and Vauxhall from Germany and England. Ford brought in the Anglia from England and is reported bringing in the Taunus next year from Germany. Chrysler Surveys Europe Chrysler President L. L- Colbert has said his company also is studying a marketing tie-up with a Europen manufacturer. Studebaker - Packard stripped down its Champion, used an economy six-cylinder engine and got the Scotsman, its best seller in several years. George Romney, president of American Motors, decided in 1953 that the small car trend was underway and pointed his newly merged firm in that direction/ AMC made Ramblers, now its biggest seller, and imports the small Metropolitan from England. - - • Hot Lumber SYRACUSE, N. Y. — ffl — A witness told police he laughed when a 27-year-old drinking companion asked him for a book of matches “to burn down a lumber yard.” He said he stopped laughing when he saw a nearby lumber yard burn down an hour later in a $250,000 fire.

Many Continue To Work After Age 65 Prefer Regular Pay To Social Security Surprising as it may seem to younger workers, people don't automa tiaclly retire for keeps when they reach age 65, it was pointed out by Christian H. W. Luecke, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, in submitting his report for August, 1957. Many continue to work full time after 65, preferring to take their regular pay checks rather than the monthly social security checks which are intended only to partially replace the income lost by retirement, Luecke said. Others find it to their advantage to take their social security payments and work only part time or during certain seasons of the year. By holding their earnings to Idss than $1,200 for the year, they can continue to

Given Prison Term For Two Slayings EVANSVILLE (UP) — August Gerbitz was sentenced to 2-21 years in Vanderburgh Circuit Court Monday in the 1954 tavern slaying of two men. Gerbitz, indicted on a charge of first-degree murder in the shooting of George Temme and Nadine Martin, was permitted to plead guilty to two counts of manslaughter. Officials explained the “compfomile" was agreed on because the prcfcecution had a Tweak” case in pressing the stifAr charge. i—, Progress HARTFORD, Conn. — (IP) — The historic General Burgoyne Monflment is no more. It was established as a park in 1777 to note the defeat of the British general, but through the years gave way to progress. Recently it was reduced to a small green. Now it’s an asphalt base for some State Highway Department traffic signs.
