Hoffa 's second bid for parole was rejected Wednesday, but union sources said he is far from finished as leader of the n a t i o n's biggest trade WASHINGTON union.

Fitzsimmons, who has been running the union since Hoi fa went to prison March 2, 1967. Fitzsimmons has said he would run for the office if Hoffas parole was denied. Another union source said that Fitzsimmons, in the face of Hoffa's candidacy, would have an "interesting decision to make. grant clemency, presidential press secretary Ronald L.

Brezhnev, of betier relations with Peking. reThe basic theme was unity, ported a Western European Communist. "I dont think they want to do anything that would disrupt that unity. r telBrezhnev, in his keynote, evised report to the Congress, had rejected "slanderous inventions concerning the policy of our party and our state which are being spread from Peking. He had balanced that with the statement that Moscow is prepared in every way to help not only to normalize relations but also to restore neighborliness and friendship between the Russians and Chinese. Some sources saw Brezhnevs olive branch as a device to absolve Moscow of hiame for renewed polemics. In the closed second session of the Congress, Politburo member Pyotr Shelest, the party chief of the Ukraine; Pyotr Mash-eroan alternate Politburo member, a Leningrad and Grigory Romanov, party secretary, lashed out angrily at China's sort of revisionism as a menace to Marxism. Foreign delegates said Masherov was the harshest of the three and had critithe disgusting formulas of the cized Chinese leaders who, describing themselves as Communists, slander the Soviet people. MOSCOW v, feited. "He has a choice between openly breaking with his old friend and mentor, or yielding to Jimmy, which has been his custom, the source said. Fitzsimmons was reported to be in Atlanta and could not be reached for comment. He has publicly contended that he has made every effort to win Hoffas release from prison, but an increasingly vocal Hoffa faction of the Teamsters claims the caretaker president has held the matter vigorously in abeyance. Hoffa still holds widespread popularity among the Teamsters general membership. But Fitzsimmons decentralized approach to union activities has won support among the once-agaipowerful international union vice presidents. One of them said Wednesday he wouldnt know "which way to jump until Hoffa announces whether or not he will run. When that happens, he said, "Im going to hold up one finger and see which way the wind is blowing. n Hearing The parole boards decision was announced Wednesday after a hearing during which Hoffas two lawyers and his son and daughter appealed for his release so he could join his wife, Josephine, who is hospitalized in San Francisco with a heart ailment. Afterwards, Rufus King, a Teamster lawyer from Washington, told newsmen he was satisfied that it was, a "full and fair hearing of our point of view. King added that Hoffa had "faced the music . . . served his time . . , paid the price and should be freed. Hoffa served four yeai of n eight-yea- r sentence imposed in March, 1964, in Chattanooga, Term. Last January', the Supreme Cc irt upheld a second conviciion that came m Ci also in 1964, that Hoffa and five ethers used the U.S. mails to defraud a Teamsters pension fund of $1 million.
