"I have suspended my plans for departure, McElroy said. "I don't know when I will be leaving if at all." McElroy was asked whether that means he intends to stay in definitely.

McClellan (D.-Ark.) in a recent Senate speech, Hoffa said. Some busi ness interests hwe proposed in congressional hearings that all unions be put under antitrust laws. In Washington, AFL-CIO Pres ident George Meany made it clear froffa could not count on AF CIO unions in any such prote't strike.
