about $100,000 for legal fees. A series of similar affairs is planned and Hoffa’s fight to stay out of prison goes on.

If the courts finally rule the muscular Detroiter must go to prison, persistent rumors inside the union say Hoffa will try to install a caretaker president until he is free to resumed lead- ership.

PLAYS CLOSE HAND

The twice-convicted Hoffa is playing a quiet waiting game pending the outcome of his court appeals.

He doesn’t smile as much as he used to and he is somewhat gentler with his subordinates.

Hoffa has been convicted of jury-tampering in a case that brought him am eight-year sen- tence and of defrauding the Teamsters’ pensior fund, which tirew one fo five years.

Some associates report Hoffa ‘gs pretty well resigned to the prospect of defeat in the court battle: Hoffa himself ts not talk-

ing. friends and foes inside Yhe union generally agree on this picture of how Hoffa is bearing up as time runs out to- ward his final appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court: - ALT, ARE SURPRISED “Everybody is amazed that he is continuing to work as * hard as he is doing. He’s just

had happened.

“Psychologically, you can see ‘he tensions. It is a little more difficult for him to smile, but he’s putting on a good front.”

Hoffa, who still claims fhe support of the vast majority of the Teamsters’ 1,700,000 mem- vers. is going out of his way to avoid new internal strife.

“He’s trying not to rock any boats, not to antagonize any- body, to avoid dissensins and fights,” one soyrce said.

One high Teamster official said no move will be made to

, unseat Hoffa until his appeals

‘ are exhausted in the Supreme Court. This could drag on for months and one Hoffa union opponent said: .

What is the secret of Hoffa's hold on the rank-and-file?

organizers have gone after membership among many other | workers. f “We'll take anything that isn’t | taken,”’ said. He didn’t need to add that the Teamsters frequently try to oust existing unions.

CONTRACT WAS PLUM ’ But his biggest accmplish- ment was the national trucking | contract, negotiated last year for more than 400,000 drivers ot | 14,000 firms, providing an esti- mated $300,000,000 a year in | added wages and fringe bene- fits. It set the pattern for the | Teamsters’ continuing efforts to | forge national agreemens in | warehouseing and other fields. The Teamsters, ousted from | the AFL-CIO in 1957 on corrup- | tion charges, built their own ri- | val empire, including a voliti- cal acton arm called DRIVE.

FACED MANY CHARGES

The justice department painted » different picture of Hoffa—indictments on charges of trying to bribe a senate in- vestigator, wiretapping tele phones to keep tabs on his own employees, using the mails to | defraud in a Florida real estate | deal involving Teamsters funds, accepting ~ $1,000,000 in ‘kick- backs from a trucking firm, |
