Reaction To Hoffa Speech Is Shocker By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — From where I set there just isn’t any doubt that the Teamsters’ Jimmy Hoffa is lying about that general strike speech he made the other day in Brownsville, Tex. Neither is there any doubt that Hoffa knows now that he- spoke out of turn. He rammed his foot in his mouth and far down his gullet. I Hoffa's proposition, as reported from Brownsville by United Press International and by the Associated Press, was that he would call a general strike if unions were brought under antitrust laws. A nationwide transportation strike would paralyze the United States. A general strike is just one degree removed from civil conflict as is well known in Great Britain where organized labor got too big for its plus fours back there in 1926 and called all union men off their jobs. Hoffa's threat of a general strike of his transport workers shocked and frightened many a citizen and public official. The reaction was instant and angry. Hoffa__ sensed that, and he is claiming now that he was misquoted which surely is not so. Rechecks the Story United Press International staffed Hoffa’s speech with Dar rell Mack of UPl’s Edinburgh. Tex., bureau. Mack is a good reporter, a pro, or he wouldn’t be in our Edinburgh bureau. The Associated Press is quite competent and able to speak for itself I have competed with AP men for nearly 40 years, and I have found them to be sound and accurate reporters. The AP does not send boys out on a man’s job either. So it was the night Hoffa spoke in Brownsville. Our man, Darrell Mack, and the AP reporter were in agreement on what Hoffa said in Brownsville. I checked with Preston McGraw of the UPI Dallas, bureau who was the responsible UPI man by remote control. Preston told mts that Mack's story came by telephone to Dallas from Brownsville. A young man—a cub—took the call in the Dallas bureau. McGraw saw this young man’s report of what had come over the telephone from Mack and McGraw realized that the gun was loaded. So McGraw, a press association professional of long and distinguished standing, put in a telephone call to Mack in Brownsville to make sure that the latter’s report had been received correctly. Mack confirmed what Hoffa had said. . ~-~~ r r “ Not New for Hoffa The little man with the buck teeth who owns and operates the Teamsters outfit won’t get away witfi this peculiar variation of taking a Fifths Amendment exit from a hot spot. He’s stuck with his public-and-government - bedamned point of view and stuck hard. A general strike threat or a contempt for law, order and the responsibilities of good citizenship are nothing new for Jimmy Hoffa. Last November Hoffa was promis-

War! ■ . . ADMITS KILLING - Airman 3/0 - Joseph Shea, 20, Woodhaven, N. Y., wears a smirk as he is brought back to Miami, Fla., from Pensacola, Fla., after admitting the slaying of Mrs. Mary Meslener, 24. The killing occurred Feb. 24. He said the airlines clerk came upon him while he was rummaging through parked cars, and he kngpked her unconscious and drove away with her. He Said he killed her when she came to. ing that he soon would lead a] mighty Teamster Union spanning the entire transport industry—everything on wheels. That raised some eyebrows in Washington and Hoffa’s motives were questioned by Sen. John McClellan <D-Ark >. Hdffa's response was this: ‘‘We will not be stopped by the McClellan committee, laws or the courts.’’ , Perhaps neither laws nor courts can stop Hoffa. More likely, his dangerous ambitions will knock himself out. The current Life magazine has a piece on Hoffa. ‘Life asked Hoffa how he planned to make the Teamsters Union the greatest ever. He replied: “W may eventually have to do what labor unions do in Europe and call a general strike. I Motorists Beware ALBANY, N.Y.

Also a feature of the Show this year will be the central states walking horse association jubilee. This should bring walking horses from all over the midwest, Kentucky and Tennessee.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

\ . o ' a » <■ From the Off Icc of the President MEMO TO ALL FAMILIES IN THE DECATUR AREA Today, your local Gamble store joins 2200 other Gamble stores across the country in launching our 35-Trainload Royal Deluxe Food Freezer Purchase —a merchandising milestone of such importance that I am taking this unusual means of telling you about it. For some time we have wanted to make available to our friends and customers a really great food freezer value. We set the wheels in motion months ago designing the Royal Deluxe 15 cubic foot freezer. Despite its low price, it has all of the deluxe features and is not a stripped down economy freezer—not a discontinued or old modeL It is manufactured by the world’s largest freezer producer, using new dies and top quality materials supplied by famous companies like General Electric, Dupont and U. S. Steel. In fact, we compared it side by side with six top brand freezers selling at as much as $l2O more. Feature by feature, it is equal or superior to any of them. Very likely, you are wondering “how can Gambles sell the Royal Deluxe for so much less?” Here are some of the factors that make it possible: Tremendous buying power. It just couldn’t be done on an ordinary purchase of 100—or even r,ooo-units. We ordered # tfainloads (each train 20 to 2j cart long) of one model. our manufotom could make buff savinff in production costs. , ■ -j • • ' Lowered distribution cost/. We are eliminating about jo% of our normal expense in bringing this freezer to you- We cut out warehousing costs, because these freezers are shipped from the factory direct. We are sending them out in carloads to your town or near your town. In fact, most customers will take delivery direct from the freight car, eliminating expense of delivery, store handling, uncrating and other overhead, such at inventory insurance Now, here’s the big news you have been waiting for. As a result of tremendous buying power and lowered distribution costs, we are offering the Royal Deluxe 15 cubic Z foot freezer at the unprecedented low price of $199.95 during this 35-Trainload Event. During our 35 years in merchandising, we have never seen an appliance value to equal it. Remember, you could pay as high as $319.95 and still not get all the fine features of this freezer. When we planned this great event, I was determined that despite the low price, we would offer you our regular liberal credit terms of only $5 down. And our stores will take anything with resale value that you may wish to use in trade. An item in your home that you no longer have use for and wish to sell, may well serve as the down payment. You’ll love the freezer way of living. It saves time and work for mother, makes fewer shopping trips necessary, cuts food bills, and permits the whole family to enjoy J a greater variety of tastier, more healthful foods all year around. Certainly, there it-no other item of household equipment that pays for itself so quickly. .. i; U- " ■ 5 ' ■ • ’ # May I ask you to do one thing? Take your family down to the Gamble Store this , week and examine the Royal Deluxe freezer. Compare our $199.95 price, and compare quality with other freezers on the market. The facts are there for 411 tp see. Only after you examine them for yourself will you realize what a tremendous opportdnity for saving Gambles are offering you. — , - Thank you for your interest. a ■ ■ c' v President and Chairman of the Board
