Hoffa and bombing probe looms in senate inquiry
Ten years ago on December 11 1960 Senate racket investigators pressed Teamster President James R Hoffa to testify in a new probe that would touch on the bombing of a New Jersey company officials automobile once witness against the union chief. Movie king Clark Gables estate valued over 1 million dollars went to his widow Kay with a single bequest to his first wife. Former President Harry S Truman predicted Americans would elect a Jew to the presidency and a Negro as vice president. Hugo Buchhorn of A M Route visited Cuero as a business guest. Steve Ray and Johnny Phillips visited Victoria friends Charles Coskey of Houston and Lewis Coskey of Detroit for a quail hunt hosted by Mr and Mrs J C Woodworth.
