affects the attitudes of people

«H|k Edward K. Jonrs, Prrtident jmjjj;
throughout the world.” The
American ideal of equality un
der the law, he said, gives this
Nation a "great moral advan
tage."
In a brief speech of welcome,
Earl W. Kintner, president of
the Federal Bar Association,
urged lawyers to let the public
know of the legal profession’s
deep respect for the Supreme
Court.
E. Smythe Gambrell. past
president of the American Bar
Association emphasized the im
portance of an independent
judiciary. Because the citizenry
Is dependent on the judiciary
for redress of wrong, "we have
to assure that they (the Judges)
are dependent on no one,” Mr.
Gambrell declared.
Referring to 43-year-old Jus
tice Stewart, the speaker said
“we celebrate the coming of a
strong, young man" to the High
Court.
A certificate of honorary
membership in the FBA was
presented to Justice Stewart by
Justice Clark, himself a former
president of the association
which is composed of attorneys
employed by the Federal Gov
ernment.
In a short speech of ap
preciation, Justice Stewart
recalled Federal attorneys who

was a judge o< the Sixth Cir
cuit Court of Appeals in Cin

petence and character.”
Justice Stewart was named

Monitors Feel
Curb by Court
Can Be Upset
Monitors policing the Team
sters Union were confident to
day they can overturn a Fed
eral court decision that would
drastically reduce their power
to clean up corruption.
But James R. Holla, presi
dent of the union, interpreted
yesterday’s ruling in Cleveland
as vindication of his stand that
the monitors cannot force him
to do anything.
District Judge James C. Con
nell ruled that the monitors
have only advisory powers, and
that union officers retain au
thority to interpret the Team
ster constitution.
| “We feel this decision bears
out our contention that we have
been in compliance with the
consent order” establishing the
three-man board of monitors,
Mr. Hoffa said in Chicago,
adding:
“The monitors have had and
do have only advisory powers.”
Calls Ruling Wreng
Martin F. O’Donoghue, chair
man of the board of monitors,
called Judge Connell’s ruling
“clearly wrong.” Interviewed
in Washington, Mr. O’Dono
ghue maintained Judge Connell
misinterpreted the consent or
der and lacked jurisdiction.
If Judge Connell's ruling
stands, Mr. O’Donoghue de
clared. “we might as well throw
the monitorshlp out the
window.”
The case involves three mem
bers of Teamster Local 377 In
Youngstown, Ohio, who were
declared Ineligible to run for
office. The monitors ruled they
were eligible, and the local
I went to court. Mr. O’Donoghue
said the three members are ap
pealing Judge Connell’s deci
sion to the 6th Circuit Court
of Appeals.
District Judge F. Dickinson
Letts of Washington, who es
tablished the monitorshlp, is
considering a petition by the
monitors for confirmation of
their power to compel compli
ance with cleanup orders, and
to block a convention of the
union scheduled for next
March.
Mr. Hoffa, contesting the
monitors’ petition, contend*
neither the monitors nor Judge
Letts has the right to enforce
compliance or delay the con
vention. The Teamster leader
plans to seek reelectlon and
thus get rid of the monitors
at a March convention.
Judge Letts has primary jur
isdiction over the case, Mr.
ODonoghue maintained. But
he conceded Judge Connell’s
ruling may open to the Team
sters an avenue of appeal from
i any adverse ruling by Judge
Letts.
The monitor chairman
charged that the Youngstown
case shows how Mr. Hoffa is
| trying to obstruct the monitor
'ship and generally to “com
plicate this thing.”
Judge Letts set up the mon
ltorship last January as a
compromise of a suit by dissi
dent Teamsters who charged
Mr. Hoffa’s election was rigged.
The compromise let Mr. Hoffa
take office as provisional presi
dent under supervision by the
monitors.
Mr. O’Donoghue charged the
rule disqualifying the Youngs
town members was “conceived
in fraud” to keep dissidents
from running against incum
bent Teamster officers. The rule
involves payment of union dues
in advance. Some members
have claimed they were dis
qualified because the union
failed to collect dues deducted
from pay by employers.
