Death Threats by Hoffa Aide Told in Probe
Washington reports that Robert Scott, former Michigan Federation of Labor official, testified before the Senate Rackets Committee that he received repeated death threats from Hoffa associates dating back to the 1940s. He said Hoffa threatened to break his arms and legs in 1952 if he resigned, but he stayed due to opposition to Hoffa’s changes. Scott noted a fear for his daughter and said his first wife’s death in 1944 was not caused by the threats.

Basin Groups Request Roads
Ector and Winkler Counties asked the Texas Highway Commission in Austin for two farm-to-market roads to shorten routes to New Mexico and El Paso. The commission made no commitments. The Ector plan would create a 25 mile link from the intersection of Kermit Highway and FM 181 to the New Mexico line, largely in Winkler County which must buy right-of-way for 17 miles. The Winkler proposal would run from Loving County through Reeves to Culberson County. County officials urged a western route over north-south arches, noting a decades-long push for the road.
