Meanwhile, about 9,000 hourly-rated workers laid off last Thursday as car produc- tion lines shut down will not be returning to work before Monday at the earliest, the spokesman said. At first, GM anticipated those workers would be back on the. job by this Thursday. He said he is prepared to read that brief under oath be- cause every word of it was accurate and truthful.

Kee your nose constantly to the grindstone and miss seeing your wife and family for much of the time. "That is what it has meant to me." The Canadian-born publisher said he did not feel alarmed at the diminishing number of news- papers in the world. "Newspapers are supported largely by advertisements and advertisements won't spread any thinner," he said. "The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker." Asked how big he hoped his empire would become, Lord Thomson said: "There is no limit." He said he was in Australia to inspect his local investments, including publishing and print- ing interests. Prison jimmediately sought to block his imprisonment by asking 'Justice Potter Stewart to delay' sending the court's decision back to the] U.S. district court in Chatta- nooga, Tenn., where Hoffa orig- inally was convicted. | But Stewart, who supervises | that district of the federal court} system, turned down Hoffa's ré-| quests after conferring with the} other justices. The high court's rejection then was airmailed back to the district court, which could move today or Wednesday | to jail Hoffa. ONE HOPE LEFT Court sources said it ap- peared Hoffa's only remaining hope to avoid prison would be an appeal to the district court to let him remain free on bail pending its action on motions he's already placed before it. Hoffa, 54, was convicted of tampering with a jury at a 1962 conspiracy trial in Nashville, Tenn., that ended with a dead- locked jury. For Hoffa, Monday's Supreme Court decisions marked a stun- ning defeat in a long history of jcourt battles--many of which he won. | Hoffa was indicted in 1957 on 2 charge of bribing a lawyer but was acquitted by a U.S. dis- \trict court in Washington. The jsame year he was indicted on |wiretapping charges, but again acquitted. In 1960, Hoffa was indicted on mail fraud charges involving al- leged misuse of $500,000 in Teamsters pension funds. The lindictment later was dismissed. Negro Slain Offer Reward | NATCHEZ, Miss.
