Society Barred
DiVs 'Honesty
Ex-Pal Declares
Tutf. Aug. 13, 1957 The News-Review, Roieburg, Or. 3
WASHINGTON I - Anthonyi
Doria, onetime pal of racketeer
Johnny Dio in the labor move-!
ment, described Dio Monday as
a frustrated man who sought tor
become an honest labor leader but 1
"society wouldn't let him."
Ana. Dona testified to the Sen
ate Rackets Investigating Com
mittee, Dio himself has told him
within recent weeks that he had
nothing to do" with the acid
blinding of labor columnist Victor
Riesel.
Dio had opportunity last week
to give the senators his own ver
sion of what he aimed to do, and
what he has done. But he pleaded
the Fifth Amendment to all major
questions, saying his answers
might tend to incriminate.
Dio is under indictment on con
spiracy charges in the blinding
last year of Riesel.
Doria said he visited Dio's home
recently and asked the racketeer
about the Riesel case, and got the
answer that the charge if "abso
lutely a farce."
"He knows nothing about it,"
Doria added.
He said he ' didn't ask whether
Dio knows who was responsible
for dashing searing acid into Rie
sel's eyes, and that Dio suggest
ed no names to him.
Doria said he personally has
been contacted four times by FBI
agents questioning him about the
case and that this has convinced
him "there is no evidence against
Johnny Dio."
Doria was until last March secretary-treasurer
of the Allied In
dustrial Workers Union, formerly
the old AFL United Auto Work
ers Union (UAW).
Doria left the union under pres
sure. Questions as to his fitness
to hold union office had been
raised in the AFL-CIO, partly be
cause of his associations with Dio.
There was testimony last week
that Doria agreed to resign on
condition that the union pay him
$80,000 and give him a Cadillac
car. He has been paid $25,000 and
contends the union still owes him
$55,000.
Meany Opposes
5th Amendment
For Labor Chiefs
CHICAGO Wl AFL-CIO Presi
dent George Meany said Monday
"there should not be any change"
In the AFL-CIO policy of coop
erating with congressional com
mittees investigating labor.
Meany upheld the policy of co
operation at a news conference
after there had been reports that
some labor leaders wanted to at
tack the U. S. Senate' Rackets
Committee.
Meany told newsmen that the
Senate committee "did a good job
as far ai it went." He added that
exposure of corruption is good for
labor "as well as anyone else."
Meany said he had not heard
of reports that some labor chiefs
were dissatisfied with the AFL
CIO policy of cooperation.
These unnamed leaders had
Been reported miffed because the
committee investigation of man
agement and labor practices had
put the accent on labor.
Aaainit 5th Amendment
"We'll cooperate legislatively or
any other way, Meany said. But
he said his organization will "re
sist any attempt to fasten restric
tive laws upon labor as a whole
because of the sins of a few."
Meany also said that he stands
firm on the AFL-CIO policy
against labor leaders invoking the
Fifth Amendment to protect them-
He announced that the AFL
CIO Executive Council will take
up the case for Maurice Hutche
son, president of the Carpenters
Union and a member of the coun
cil. He did not set a time for that
case.
Hutcheson took the Fifth
Amendment when he appeared be
fore the U.S. Senate Public Works
Committee. The committee was
looking into reports that Hutche
son and others made quick profits
from the sale of land to the state
of Indiana along a road project.
