HOFFA (Continued from Page One) my trust ... my record stands for itself. "I have not betrayed their (referring to his Teamsters Union members) trust and I am not guilty.” Wilson asked: “Is there anything further you care to say?” “No sir,” Hoffa replied. Then Wilson began his preliminary remarks saying, "The verdict is substantiated by the evidence. “It’s difficult for the court to imagine a more willful violation of the law.” “Everything we call civilization depends on the proper adFAT OVERWEIGHT Available to you without a doctor's prescription, the GALAXON plan. You must Iqse utrly fat or your money back. One of the basic problems of losing weight is your inability to stick to a planned diet. The GALAXON plan contains a tablet and is easily swollowed. When you take GALAXON, you simply don’t have the urge for extra portions because GALAXON depresses your appetite and decreases your desire for food thus making it easier and more comfortable for you to diet. Your weight must come down because as your own doctor will tell you, when you eat less, you weigh less. Get rid of excess fat and live longer. Os course GALAXON can’t do all the work for you alone. But if you reallv want to eut down on your eating, and lose weight, GALAXON can be a powerful helper. The GALAXON plan costs $3.00 and is sold on this guarantee: if not satisfied for any reason just return the package to your druggist and get your full money back. No questions asked.

ministration of justice,” Wilson said. Undermining justice “would destroy this country” quicker than any combination of foreign enemies, the jurist said. r Wilson then sentenced Hoffa to four years on each of the counts. Co-defendants Sentenced Each of Hoffa’s three co-de-fendants were sentenced to three years in prison. They were former Nashville local president Ewing King, Detroit Teamsters official Larry Campbell, and Nashville Negro handyman Thomas Ewing Parks. Tliey had been convicted of one count each, and could have been sentenced to five years and fined $5,000 each. Hoffa, already planning a massive appeals fight against the conviction, is the second consecutive president of the giant Teamsters Union to face a penitiary sentence. His predecessor, Dave Beck, was convicted of stealing $1,900 from the 1.7 million member union several years ago, and received a prison sentence of up to 15 years. Hoffa', who said earlier “my life depends on this verdict” in Chattanooga, flew to Detroit after his conviction by a jury of eight men and four women. He returned Wednesday for sentencing. It was Hoffa’s fifth courtroom battle with the U.S. Justice Department and his first loss to his longtime enemy, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy. Two previous federal cases against Hoffa ended in acquittal. Two others, including the Nashville trial in which Hoffa
was accused of sharing a $1 million kickback from a Michigan truck firm, ended in mistrials with deadlocked juries. • ASSERTS RUBY (Continued rrom Pane One' witnesses are recalled to rebut the state’s rebuttal witnesses. But the state was entitled to sur-sur rebuttal < Dr. Schwab and others were - standing by) and the process can be carried on ad infinitum. Nevertheless, assistant Dist. Atty. William H. Alexander, who said “we’ve got some more doctors ready to testify,” was confident the case would go to the jury on Saturday. U. S. Embassy In Cambodia Is In Ruins PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (UPl)—The U.S. Embassy today was a mass of wreckage with virtually every window broken as a result of antiAmerican demonstrations- .by Cambodians Wednesday. The British Embassy suffered similar damage as throngs of young demonstrators attacked the buildings. No injuries were reported in the disturbances. U.S. Embassy officials listed this destruction: —The medical dispensary and laboratory were destroyed. —The 10,000-book library, the post office and the cafeteria were wrecked. —Furniture in the switchboard room, several offices and V a ri o u’s'corridors'were smashed. —Nearly every window in the embassy and the adjacent information service building was shattered by stones. The, British Embassy’s ground floor and several upstairs offices were sacked. Furniture, office equipment and files were thrown into the courtyard and burned. Four cars were demolished at the U.S. Embassy and 10 cars were damaged at the British Embassy. Chief of State Prince Norodom Sihanouk deplored the violence. but said he could hardly blame the demonstrators for their anger against the United States and Britain. He aplogized for the “excesses.” Anti-American feeling has been high in Phnom Penh since Sihanouk accused the United States late last year of aiding rebels who seek to overthrow him. He renounced the S3O million annual ’U.S. aid at the time.

Defense Head Pledges More Viet Nam Aid SAIGON (UPl)—Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara concluded his inspection of South Viet Nam’s U.S.-support-ed war against Communist guerrillas today by pledging more American aid now and as long as it takes to win it. “We are prepared to furnish whatever economic aid, whatever military training and logistical support, and whatever military equipment is required in whatever quantities and for as long as it is required,” McNamara told a cheering crowd of about 3,000 persons at Saigon Airport before flying back to Washington. With strongman Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh standing at his side on a platform. McNamara raised his arms in a “V-for-victory” sign and shouted three times in Vietnamese: “Viet Nam muon nam ! ’ (long live Viet Nam). McNamara, who met with Khanh before leaving, will report to President Johnson on his five-day tour of the strategic Southeast Asia nation when he gets back to Washington. McNamara’s mission has been overshadowed by the excitement caused here by Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's New Hampshire presidential primary victory. Lodge said Wednesday he was honored by the results but had no plans to resign or return to the United States in the near future. Attention returned to the guerrilla war today. A military spokesman reported a new outburst of Communist attacks that cost the government 29 dead. The worst setback for the government came Monday night in a Viet Cong raid in Ba
