Coldwaler Would Probe Reuther, But Says He's Honest By C. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON to Sen. Gold water (R-Ariz) spoke up today in defense of an old adversary, UAW President Walter Reuther, but Said he still wants to investigate Reuthers' union tactics. "I believe Reuther is an honest man," said Goldwater, a member of the Senate Backets Investigat ing iiOmmiuee.

McClcllan said testimony will be taken from 12 to 15 witnesses, including officials of the Carpen ters, Electricians, Laborers and Teamsters unions in the Scranton area. McClellan said that although the committee has more than a year's investigative work ahead of it, it may push for reform legislation at this session of Congress. He said he already has instruct ed staff members to prepare a study of legislation designed to assure democratic procedures in unions and to protect union mem bers against misuse of union funds.
