Hoffa Election Call Deemed Illegal by Senate Panel
Senate Rackets Committee investigator Pierre Salinger testified that more than half of the votes electing James R. Hoffa as president of the Teamsters Union were illegal. He said 56.2 percent of votes at the Miami internationals last October violated the union's constitution. The executive board then moved to hold a new convention next February, seeking court aid to expand monitors' authority amid reform efforts. Hoffa dismissed the action as an effort to end the monitorship and forecast little or no opposition to his re election.
