Path Cleared For Hoffa Trial Court Is Dubious On His Removal By LEE M. COHN Star staff Writer The United States Court of Appeals today cleared the way for a civil trial of misconduct charges against James R. Hoffa, but expressed doubt that he legally can be ousted from the presidency of the Teamsters Union. At the same time, the court rejected Mr. Hoffa’s plea for an order calling an immediate convention of the union, which would dissolve the board of monitors assigned to clean up* corruption in the Teamsters Union. The court hinted, however,* that it may step in later to call j a convention unless the moni torship hurries to wind up its affairs. The appellate court’s rulings added up to only a partial de feat for Mr. Hoffa in his feud I with the board of monitors. | Realty Deal Involved The monitors propose to put Mr. Hoffa on trial before Fed-; era! District Judge Joseph R.'. Jackson on charges that he misused $500,000 of union ' funds to promote a Florida real estate venture in which r he held a financial interest. * The majority of the three-man ' board has suggested that Mr. ’ Hoffa should be removed from office if the charges are proved. Mr. Hoffa and the union petitioned for writs of man-! damus to prevent the civil trial. The Court of Appeals refused j to issue the writs, thus author-' izing the trial to proceed See TEAMSTERS, Page A-6 SHOP i THE STAR'S FOOD SECTION TODAY r Today and every Thursday be sure tQ shop The Star’s complete food section for all your week end and week long food needs.

Bars Rise In Realty Tax By 2-1 Vote McLaughlin Alone For 10-Cent Boost; $2.30 Rate Kept By CHARLES D. PIERCE Star Staff Writer The District Commissioners voted. 2 to 1, today at their last meeting together against raising the real estate tax for the current fiscal year. Commissioner Robert E. Mc-i Laughlin, president of the board, voted for a 10-cent in-* crease in the real property tax. But Commissioners A. C. Well ing and David B. Karrick voted no. Schuyler Lowe, director of I the District Department of General Administration, had recommended that the Com missioners maintain the pres ent $2.30 real estate tax rate. Mr. Lowe told the Commis sioners that on July 5 it had appeared that the District would be faced with a deficit of $lO to $ll million this fiscal year. However, he said that if the increase in the sales tax from 2 to 3 per cent is approved by the Senate, this additional revenue would reduce the defi cit to $2 or $3 million. Hopes for More Help He indicated he is not too disturbed about this picture i since revenue estimates are “long-range forecasts of the ; minimum total that we expect ito receive” and there is the possibility of an additional Federal appropriation for the District. In explaining his vote. Com missioner McLaughlin said he felt an increase was necessary to assure an adequate public works construction program. Gen. Welling said that he did not believe an increase in the real estate tax was war ranted. He added that he had voted no when the Commis sioners originally proposed a 20-cent increase in the prop erty tax earlier this year. | Commissioner Karrick said he i had been persuaded by Mr. * i Lowe that an increase in the * tax was not necessary now.

Senator Morton replied: “I accept the Governor at his word, and he was very adamant. I don’t intend to badger him. *But of course there is always 'the possibility that if a plat- i form came along that they could both agree on that could be the catalyst that would bring ; them together.” “Are you doing anything to 1 make the platform appeal to I him?” another reporter in- * * quired. • Rockefeller Consulted Senator Morton replied that Chairman Charles H.

Chairman Carl Shipley pared down from an original proposal, states in its entirety: “We favor adequate Federal financing and suffrage for the Nation’s Capital.” Omitted from the original 64-word plan that Mr. Shipley had planned to submit were any specific mention of a pres idential vote, of congressional representation or of home rule. Mr. Shipley said the 11-word plank he offered covers sup port for all three phases of suffrage for the District.
