...heavyweight prizefighter managed by Hoffa's pal Owen Brennan drew $75 a week for two years as a Teamster welfare-fund claims investigator but did no investigating at all, instead he did odd jobs on Brennan's horse farm. The prizefighter's straightforward testimony about his Teamster days (now ended) flatly contradicted what Hoffa told the committee a year ago, and Chairman McClellan said he would ask the Justice Department to investigate the conflict...

Early in the week the Soviet press published meticulous accounts of the damage -mainly broken windows-inflicted on the Soviet embassy in Bonn by German students protesting the execution of Hungarian Revolutionaries Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter. Next day 2,000 Russian students and workers appeared before the West German embassy on Moscow's Bolshoi Gruzinskaya Street and began to hurl stones, chunks of concrete and bottles of purple ink. By the time they dispersed two hours later, the ink-stained...
