Hoffa Testimony Could Aid Indiana Highway Inquiry
The Senate Rackets Committee opened a probe into Indiana highway scandals naming James R. Hoffa and Lake County prosecutor Metro Holovachka. Hoffa may be summoned as a witness while Holovachka faces pressure over potential related information. A Marion County grand jury later indicted three Carpenter Union officials over a $78 000 land deal profit. Hoffa earlier faced acquittals on charges of bribery and an unlawful wiretap.
