Last week's ousting of Godfrey P. Schmidt as attorney for the dissident Teamsters, and the scheduled trial next month of James Hoffa on charges of misusing his union's funds, focus attention on what Justice Felix Frankfurter has called "a most unusual manifestation of the equity powers" of a court, the monitorship which has ruled the union since early 1958. The settlement provided for a board of three monitors to serve until a new convention for the election of officers. One of the monitors appointed by Judge F. Dickinson Letts was Schmidt.
