Judge Blocks Teamsters Election Amid Rigging Claims
Washington (UP) A federal judge barred a Teamsters convention election in Miami Beach, Florida, citing a rigged process and risking AFL-CIO expulsion. Judge FL F. Dickinson Letts issued an injunction and prohibited credentialing of disputed delegates while the case proceeds, warning that a rigged vote could lead to treasury looting and infiltration by gangsters and racketeers. The US Court of Appeals held a special session to consider a stay, arguing the injunction was an abuse of discretion while defense counsel urged review.

Hoffa and Bert Brennan allegedly dangled $1 million in union deposits to obtain financing from Florida National Bank Orlando for a Sun Valley project. If successful they could gain a half interest for $60 000, otherwise they would drop the option and lose little.
