Union leader James R. Hoffa was set to surrender to U.S. marshals to begin an eight year sentence for jury tampering. The delay case collapsed after appeals failed, with Hoffa to be fingerprinted and transported to Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary. Police heightened security around Sen. Robert F. Kennedy amid threats linked to Hoffa’s imprisonment. Hoffa’s aides described a grim mood at the Teamsters HQ as the longtime president steps down while Frank Fitzsimmons acts as interim leader.
