'Answered All Charges
WASHINGTON (AP) James Hoffa says the more than 1 1/2 million members of his Teamsters union are no better or worse than any other large section of the American population.
Denying that the union is corrupt, Hoffa told a news conference Tuesday that, as far as he was concerned, his past testimony had answered all corruption charges made in hearings of the special Senate committee investigating labor-management relations.
The committee, headed by Sen. John McClellan (D-Ark.), plans to recall Hoffa.
Hoffa, president of the union, also said he planned to take no action against vice president John O'Rourke, indicted in New York in connection with jukebox rackets.
