Late Word. Ever since Sukarno touched off his expel-the-Dutch campaign, Indonesian moderates had been waiting hopefully for some word from quiet, capable Dr. Mohammed Hatta. First elected Vice President in 1945, Hatta is Indonesia's best-known politician after Sukarno, is regarded by many Indonesians as a much more stable and responsible statesman.

But we hope that the AFL-CIO does not take this step, for while it might destroy Hoffa, its effects would be far-reaching. It would be a far better thing to have Hoffa defeated by a Senate subcommittee and his own teamsters rather than by a labor war which...
