Hoffa parole hearing in Washington drew remarks from his lawyers that the process was fair and hopeful for release. His wife is hospitalized in San Francisco with a heart condition as Hoffa faces potential constraints if paroled. The board's decision could come late afternoon with no political pressure admitted. If released he may not lead the Union immediately, a court fight could follow.
