Questioning of Teamsters leader Presser upheld by federal court
A federal court refused to bar the President's Commission on Organized Crime from questioning Teamsters leader Jackie Presser about alleged criminal ties. Judge Gesell denied the request from Presser's attorney Climaco of Cleveland and noted the commission's plan to question Presser about bribes, kickbacks, and the handling of union funds. The deposition, scheduled for March 26, was not shown to have occurred, while the commission also sought details on the Central States Pension Fund and other Teamsters funds amid past organized crime influence concerns.

Manufacturing hours improve to 40.4 per week though factory employment lacks growth due to import competition and overseas shifts.
