Hoffa Faces Challenge to Control Teamsters Union
James R. Hoffa appears to be losing grip on the Teamsters leadership as he temporarily cuts off union payments for his legal bills after a challenge from fellow officials. Hoffa, convicted of jury tampering and serving an eight year sentence, faces a Chicago trial over defrauding a Teamsters pension fund. The international union was urged to halt payments until the executive board rules on legality. Hoffa paused pending a legal review by an independent expert not yet chosen.

Union High Proposed as Lower-Cost Path for North Bennington Taxes
North Bennington residents heard that joining Mt. Anthony Union High School would raise taxes less in the long run than remaining separate. Local official Lionel Nowak projected 1964 taxes at 8.26 per 100 and 1966 around 9.50 with the union, versus 10.78 if the district stays independent through high school. He argued the union high plan offers more advantages at a small extra annual cost, despite no space costs being included.
