(AP)Two witnesses testified today that teamster President James R. Hoffa collected a rake-off after forcing Indianapolis teamsters to accept 50 per cent settlements of wage claims against a Detroit truck line. Kirkwood Yockey, an attorney, told the senate rackets committee he learned of the alleged rake off while attempting to collect on claims against Trans American trucking lines by his client, Scott Pickett.

Yockey testified that he had threatened to enter suit against the company to enforce pay. ments of Pickett's claim for wages, expenses and fringe benefits. But, he said, he was asked by Frank Fitzsimons of Detroit teamsters local 199 not to file the suit and instead get In touch with Hoffa and Eugene Sansoucie, president of Indianapolis local 135. Yockey said his telephone calls to Hoffa finally were answered by Barney Trefts, business agent of local 135. Trefts, he continued, "Told me there was an arrangement between Hoffa and Trans American not to pay any grievance claims; that they would sit tight, starving the driVers until they would settle for 50 per cent.

"Trefts told me Hon was keeping 10 per cent of the settlement and giving the drivers 40 per cent." "You mean there was collusion between Hoffa and the Trans American company that the company would settle for 50 per cent and Hoffa got a 10 per cent rake-off?" demanded Chair. man John L. McClellan "That's what he (Trefts) told me," Yockey replied. Pickett testified that he hired Yockey as his lawyer after he had failed to get anywhere with his protests to union officials against the 40 per cent settlement offer. He said the $1400 claim recently was settled for $1200.

CHICAGO, July 9. (Chicago Tribune National Safety council, in its second press conference in its 56-year history, warned today that America is headed toward a traffic death toll of 39,800 this year, an increase of 2800 fatalities over 1958.

The cause cited by experts was that business is improving implying that we can't stand prosperity. Charts were displayed showing that there was a decline in traffic deaths in the business recession period of 1941, 1954, and 1958, followed in each instance by a rise in the number of motor deaths as the economy recovered. The toll has been going up during the first five months of 1959. "We are alarmed," said Howard Pyle, council president, "If the public were also to become alarmed and inspire adequate preventive measures, these lives could be saved." Escallee Has Himself a Time NORRISTOWN, July 9. (AP)--Michael Toth, 36, jailed as a parole violator, walked away from the MontgonTery county prison farm shortly before last midnight.

Four hours later he was seized by state police in nearby Collegeville, his pockets filled with loot. During his two-mile walk, Toth told police, he committed six burglaries that netted him 678.50 in cash, a pair of brown trousers, a jacket, sunglasses and a fountain pen. He broke into three gas stations, a pharmacy, a lawn mower shop and a dry cleaning establishment. 1 Bremen Sails' BREMERHAVEN, West Germany, July 9. Bremen, West Germany's largest passenger liner, sailed from here on her maiden voyage to New York with 1122 passengers.

The Bremen, the former French liner Pasteur, was bought from France in 1957 for $7,140,000 and refitted at a cost of $15,500,000. PARIS July.l. (AP)--The first of about 6000 United States airmen and their 13,000 dependents being moved out of France started packing their bags tonight. Most will go to Britain. Seven of nine atomic fighter-bomber squadrons are being transferred to Britain and two will go to West Germany on a rotational basis.

The advance elements will start the shift immediately. Main units are not scheduled to start moving until September 1. The transfer will be completed in about I six months. Loss of Effectiveness The changes are being made because of France's refusal to allow the United States air force to stockpile atomic weapons in this country unless they are un- der French control. The squadrons will remain flyable during the transfer, on the alert for any hostile action.

But there will be a fectiveness during certain pe- riods. However, the committee wrote a provision into the authorizing bill that would limit expenditures to $12,500,000. Actual cash will have to be provided in separate legislation. Before approving the bill, the committee sharply rebuked the administration for dissolving a federal staff created earlier this year for advance planning on the government exhibit. Disclosure of the staff firing as brought out in questioning by Representative James G.

Fulton Staff Fired I Francis D. Miller, named by the commerce department last December as deputy commissioner of the exhibit, said his staff of three men and two secretaries had been fired last Monday. He said the bureau of the budget had refused further funds. Miller, declaring he was "very disturbed" the development, referred further questions to Assistant Secretary of Commerce George T. Moore.

Moore said when congress approved federal participation in the fair last year it authorized $125,000 for advance planning but appropriated no funds. To get the work under way, Moore said, Eisenhower released $00,000 from his emergency fund. He said $45,000 of that was spent up to the end of the 1959 fiscal year last June 30. At that time, Moore added, "the budget bureau determined it was not an emergency any longer and that no more money could be spent until congress made it available," Situation Flayed Acting committee Chairman George P. Miller (30-Calif.) called the whole thing 'poor public relations." "We can do nothing' but express our dissatisfaction," Miller said, "but it's not very fair to loyal workers just because of some slip-up in an upper echeFulton said "to destroy an organization on a budgetary.

Since the Geneva talks recessed fruitlessly June 20, he said, the Reds have left unclear whether they are insisting on a dead line to push the allies out of communist-encircled West Berlin. The western powers have made clear they will not negotiate under a dead line which they regard as an "ultimatum." The United States foreign affairs chief declined to say whether a favorable answer from the communists on these questions would constitute the progress that President Eisenhower says is needed from the Geneva conference before he would go to a summit meeting of heads of state. The 64-year-old Herter spoke at his first formal news conference since taking over as secretary from the late John Foster Dulles last April 22.

He fielded a wide range of foreign policy questions before a near capacity crowd of 190 newsmen in the state department auditorium. Reverses Field In discussing the Geneva prospects, declined to sum up in a single word how he feels going back. That word might be he quipped. As the questioning ranged far and wide, Herter admittedly slipped up in saying at one point that he might not be welcomed in Berlin after the Geneva conference. He said that remark had been just an off-hand comment on the possibility of a bad decision from West Berlin's standpoint, which he hoped would not occur.

4D0 tivnION: egg intended expansion of Deaconess hospital," said Eric Paulson, M. president of the hospital medical staff. "We realize that this will offer much needed expansion of services in several departments ancL feel that the public will greatly benefit by this intended construction," he declared. Thoburn C. Brown, president of the board of trustees, said the decision had been made to go ahead with the improvements, despite the suggestion that the freeway might be routed near the hospital.

"The board believes the state highway commission and bureau of public roads will be slow to adopt a routing that would be damaging to the hospital, and if they do we are confident that they recognize the liability they will incur," he said. Plans for the new wing and changes to the other sections of the hospital were designed by Paul G. Burt of the firm of Fugard, Burt, Wilkinson Orth and Noel E. Thompson, associated architects. Hancox said financing arrangements for the additions have been completed and an application for funds under the Hill-Burton act is on file.

z63 ,1111111 Injures Boy MISSOULA, July 9. Stanley Bennett, 30, of Deer Lodge, was killed this afternoon and Tommy Freeman. about 12, of Deer Lodge, injured when the flatbed truck Bennett was driving overturned on highway 10 about 13 miles east of Missoula. Witnesses said the truck, which was traveling at a high speed, veered to the right, ran up a steep embankment and overturned back onto the highway right of way. The cab was crushed level with the truck bed, investigating officers said.

Pinned in Cab The boy was pinned in the wreckage for nearly half an hour before a wrecker arrived to lift the truck so Bennett's body and young Freeman could be extricated. The boy was suffering from shock and acid burns. Gasoline, oil and battery acid from the damaged truck poured over the boy as he lay in the wrecked cab, an eyewitness, Frank Davidson of Culver City, said. Coroner Ralph Simmons said Bennett was apparently the owner of the truck. He said a decision on whether to hold an inquest will be made tomorrow.

Young Freeman was taken to St. Patrick's hospital for treatment and examination. Group Picks Denver ATLANTIC CITY, N. July 9. (AP)--The imperial council of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine voted unanimously today to hold the group's 1960 session in Denver, July 12 to 14..
