Hoffa Pleads Innocent To Perjury Charge
NEW YORK —(UP)— James R. Hoffa, president-elect of the Teamsters Union, pleaded innocent in federal court today to lying to a federal grand jury about the alleged tapping on his own Detroit office telephones.
Mr. Hoffa, who was enjoined by a Federal Court in Washington yesterday from taking over his new union office, appeared before Federal Judge William B. Herlands on two separate federal actions.
After accepting his plea to the perjury charge, Judge Herlands began hearing arguments on the setting of a trial date for Mr. Hoffa and others on charges of conspiring to tap telephones of his union associates.
Meanwhile in Washington Teamsters Union attorneys prepared to ask the U. S. Court of Appeals to let James R. Hoffa take office as union president.
The union's lawyers want the court to set aside a temporary federal district court injunction preventing Mr. Hoffa from taking over command of the nation's largest union for 10 days.

The onetime GOP standard-bearer made the statement Monday night in reply to a network broadcast by Drew Pearson Sunday night.

WASHINGTON — (UP) — A pile of tape-recorded coded messages of Sputnik, the Russian satellite, are piling up in the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory and other radio-monitoring stations and are causing some American scientists to believe the satellite may be a spy.
Sputnik May Be Spy, Scientists Say
So far they are "just a meaningless collection of squiggles on tape," said one official of Project Vanguard, the U. S. Satellite program.
Speculation has ranged over the possibility that Sputnik may be an eye-in-the-sky, recording coastlines and even islands and lakes below it through photographic or infra-red devices and radioine the information back to Moscow.

WHITE SANDS, N. M.—(UP)—Defense officials permitted the first public firing today of the Navy's Talos anti-aircraft missile which can carry an atomic warhead at super-sonic speed higher than any known bomber can fly.

Federal Troops Start Pull-Out
LITTLE ROCK, Ark — (UP) —
The first big pull-out of the Army's integration task force in Little Rock starts today.
Officers will put into effect Army Secretary Wilber M. Bruecker's orders withdrawing 500 of the 1,000 paratroopers in Little Rock and releasing from federal service 8,500 of the 10,000 Arkansas National Guardsmen federalized Sept. 24.
Army spokesmen refused to discuss a report that all troops may be withdrawn over the weekend, leaving local authorities and federal agents with the job of protecting nine Negroes integrated into Central High School.
