Federal Judge Denies Hoffa Parole Appeal
CHICAGO AP A federal judge denied Hoffas motion that could have opened an earlier parole path. The ruling ends Hoffas chance for re election as Teamsters president as his two prison terms remain consecutive. The Parole Board last month said he must serve at least 14 more months. Hoffa's term as union president expires in July, with Vice President Frank Fitzsimmons likely to succeed if he stays jailed.

The dollar weakens against European currencies as major markets reopen while Germany lets the mark find its level. Bonn allows market forces to set rates, creating uncertainty for speculators about reconverting marks, guilders, and francs into dollars amid inflation fears.

He called the proposal the blunderbuss of federal state aid and urged a program-by-program approach to welfare and federal relief.
