A Florida court ordered seizure of the lard shipment to satisfy a debt of 429000 by a Miami tourist agency. Seizures also target the hijacked Cuban airliner and crop-dusting planes as penalties in the dispute.

Hoffa Faces Showdown On Dues Hiking Bid
James R. Hoffa faced a Teamsters convention showdown in Miami Beach over a dues hike proposal seen as divisive and possibly illegal by some aides. The plan would force locals to raise monthly dues by 1 to fund Hoffa headquarters, lifting national revenue toward 20 million annually, while lawyers warn the Lanham Griffin law may require local secret ballots for any raise. The proposal includes a safeguard that the increase would not take effect if unenforceable, and locals facing protests would be urged to conduct ratifying votes.
