(Original Caption) Teamsters "crown prince" goes before Senate probers Washington, D.C.... Confident and cocky James R. Hoffa, vice president of the brotherhood of teamsters, is shown as he arrived at the Senate Rackets committee today to give his version of his labor activities. Among other things he told the Senators he had borrowed $120,000 since 1952, including interest free loans form Union funds. He answered questions freely, including some about a company that made a $125,00 profit in six years leasing equipment to a trucking firm with labor troubles. Hoffa's wife and the wife of Bert Brennan, a Teamster associate, were co-owners of the company under their Maiden names.
