With that, McClellan ordered a subpoena served on Jimmy ("Mr. Hoffa will be back again") and then read off a damning five-page statement that summed up, for the present at least, the sordid career of one of the most powerful labor leaders in the U.S. Some key items in the committee's indictment: ¶ Hoffa borrowed money-about $90,000, all told-from a variety of union business agents, a truck owner who employed Teamsters, and Teamster officials. He rarely paid interest, signed notes or offered collateral. In most cases there was no evidence that the payments...
Plenty of Company. On the credit side that bill would 1) establish a federal civil rights commission with subpoena powers, 2) set up a special civil rights division in the Justice Department, and 3) enable the Government to seek injunctions on behalf of persons whose voting rights are violated.

A Senate addendum to the NATO treaty further requires the commanding officer of any G.I. in a foreign court to notify the State Department and the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives if he considers that the G.I.'s rights...
Cloak of Anonymity. Armstrong's objection overlooked the fact that Capehart merely wants to force stockholders represented by foreign banks to abide by U.S. regulations. Where illegal activity is suspected, the SEC can usually identify beneficial owners of stock held by U.S. banks-by subpoena if necessary. But it has no sure way of determining what part anonymous Swiss bank clients play in American proxy battles, therefore does not know when the law is broken. In a recent proxy battle for control of Fairbanks, Morse & Co. by Penn-Texas Corp. involving stocks purchased through Swiss banks, Armstrong admitted that...
