World News iii Brief Morning Roundup: PresM "--1 -wfcoV ril Hoffa Silent On Perjury Indictment MIAMI BEACH, 25 (UP) Teamster Vice President James Hoffa issued a brusk "no comment' today on federal charges of perjury and an AFL-CIO threat of expulsion and continued to campaign vigorously for the presidency of the big union. HOFFA SAID he had "no comment to make" on his in- dictment a few hours earlier by a federal grand jury, which accused him of lying at least fiv times when he testified about alleged wire tapping of employes' telephones in his Detroit headquarters. "That's a matter that will have to be left up to my lawyers," Hoffa said. "I'll say noth- ing more." The dapper little Midwest Teamster boss refused to see reporters and remained closeted in his hotel room where he was buttonholing delegates to next week's Teamster convention. HOFFA ALSO refused to make any statement on a warning by the AFL-CIO executive -council that unless the Teamsters remove Hoffa from offic within 30 days the Teamsters Union will be expelled from the big union combine.

CENTRAL HIGH Blood was shed when Central High School was integrated. One trooper struck a man on the head with a rifle and another man was slashed on the arm with a bayonet. At least a dozen persons were arrested in minor incidents. Most of the arrests came when nearly 500 persons gathered at the school and did not disperse as fast as they were ordered to.

Newspapers and radio broadcasts on every continent played it big, and there was some sharp criticism of developments in Arkansas. But, for the most part, people in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America approved President Eisenhower's action in moving troops into Little Rock.

And the more responsible elements overseas adopted an understanding viewpoint. THE COMMUNISTS and their satellites, of course, made propaganda capital of the situation, a fact to which Eisenhower alluded last night when he said "our enemies are gloating over this incident." Radio Moscow used the Little Rock integration fight to tee off on the United States in a series of bitter propaganda attacks, selfrighteously it aid: "It is hard to realize that all this is taking place in the 20th Century, in a country priding itself on its civilization, in a country proclaiming its democratic liberties for all to hear. THE U. S.

"It's a story can't one TJSIA official said.

In Tokyo, United Press correspondent Arnold Dibble reported that the Japanese-language press appeared to be deliberately underplaying the story, perhaps in fear of stirring up old antagonisms, while the papers are giving it prominent display. SO FAR, there has been lit tie editorial comment in Asia, although Communist newspa pers in Hong Kong bragged that the United States was losing face in the Little Rock situation. And "face" in Asia is one of the most important aspects of living, for it im plies dignity, respect and position in the community. In Manila, nationally circulated newspapers delayed going to press for hours to get latest developments in the Little Rock story. None carried editorials, although a columnist for the Manila Chronicle struck a critical balance with praise for Eisenhower and biting comment on the Arkansas mobs.

LONDON spokesmen said American prestige in Europe has suffered la serious blow. They said Europeans, for so long on the other side of the fence of criticism, are using the Little Rock incidents as a safety valve to blow off some steam of their own. The French, for instance, smarting from past criticism of their treatment of North Africans, now have taken to bedevilling Americans with the pat comeback: "What about Little Rock?"
