u Farewell Address” at
Is Congress representing
American citizens these days, or
is our chief law-making body
destined to be dominated by the
interests of a determined and
very powerful labor leader who
answers to no one?
It’s a natural question today.
Mr. James Hoffa, President of
the powerful Teamsters' Union,
has just sent his lieutenants a
political memorandum, with in¬
structions for immediate action.
It includes a “purge list” of
Congressmen who “must go.”
This raises another, far more
important question. United In States, how
many of these
and the states' Congressional
districts, is Mr. Hoffa entitled
decide who shall represent
all the citizens and voters?
Here is what Mr. Hoffa’s
“list” is based on:
Sidney Zagri, heading the
Teamsters’ new multi-miltion-
dollar political-action Depart¬
ment of Legislation and Politi¬
cal Education, supplied primary Hoffa elec¬
with the dates of
tion! in each state, each Repre¬
sentative’s voting position both
on the original Landrum-Grif-
fith labor-reform bill, and their
voting record on the final weak¬
er bill — as well as the number
of Teamsters’ officers in each
Congressman’s district. Lastly,
the information tells the per¬
centage by which each House
member won in 1958.
With such facts, it was easy
for Mr. Hoffa to see at a glance
which members of Congress
were voting as the Teamsters’
top command desired or dic¬
tated. And the Hoffa memor¬

andum makes it clear that pro¬
labor means pro-IIoffa. As for
the purge list — there are 5fi,
and Hoffa’s orders are definite
— they must “go.” “purge" is
This type of a
brutal, vindictive pressure-play
that has been tried from time
to time by many men in influ¬
ential positions. It nearly al¬
ways comes from one whose
accumulated power has removed
him in a subtle, often sinister
way, from the basic traditions
of the country and its citizens.
A President, a famous and be¬
’
loved figure,- once tried to
“purge” the Supreme Court. He
failed. Has the time now ar¬
rived when a man with notori¬
ous underworld associates, blat¬
antly dedicated to his own very
special, sometimes shady, inter¬
ests and powers, can succeed
where an infinitely greater man
could not?
Added to the fundamental
insolence and outrage of the
“purge list” itself, is the scope
of Mr. Hoffa’s instructions to
his lieutenants. He outlines a
positive program, naming
to me and one of my most trusted
advisers in all major matters
affecting the development of the
university,” Dr. Johnson said.
“His unusually able mind is
aware of every element in our
program of development, of every
step we have taken to carry each
element forward, of the degree
to which we have succeeded, the
degree to which we are still short
of our goals, and of every path¬
j way of advance which we have
