...union. On Labor Day, 1957, TIME summed up the congressional hearings on labor up to that point, and concluded: "There is a strong likelihood of more restrictive labor laws." After three years of congressional investigation of the Teamsters, TIME decided that it was time to restudy and recap the record, which Teamster Boss Jimmy Hoffa has boldly said "speaks for itself." The long record and what it says is documented and analyzed in the NATIONAL-AFFAIRS cover story, "Pretty Simple Life...
There is plenty of reason for a presidential plea to do something about wheat. The present wheat-support program (75% of parity, with a 55 million-acre limit on planting) is building toward a record 1.5 billion bushel surplus next year (cost: $3.5 billion). Benson's solution, which Congress ignored this year in passing its own bill, which President Eisenhower vetoed, would do away with acreage controls and include price supports that slide a little each year toward true market levels...
...written into law last year. Under that program, farmers were assured a slightly lower but still profitable Government price for all the corn they could raise. They turned up land that had not been used in years (TIME, May 25), poured on fertilizer, by last week were growing a record surplus that figures to sock the U.S. taxpayer $500 million or more for this year's crop...
...Best Forgettery." Hoffa's rise to power, and the uses he has made of it, are detailed and documented in the McClellan committee record, sprawling over 44,000 pages of testimony. Backing up the transcripts are truckloads of documents, photostats and recordings gathered by dozens of investigators under the zealous generalship of Committee Counsel Robert F.

But for all its awesome bulk, the record has some significant gaps: committee investigators found that many Teamster documents, including all records of Hoffa's own Local...
Despite the obstacles of missing records and feeble memories, the committee doggedly piled up in its first round of hearings in 1957 a record gamy enough to persuade the A.F.L.-C.I.O. to expel the Teamsters Brotherhood from the united labor movement. Since then, the committee has uncovered a lot more of the Hoffa record. At one point during the hearings. Jimmy Hoffa, an aggressively contemptuous witness, told the committee: "I think my record speaks for itself." It surely does. And on the basis of that record, the committee documents several damning general charges with scores of specifically detailed charges...
