moro than 21, 000 tons, ripped

Both ships, former hospital ves
sels, were awaiting scrapping. The

moored together when they broke
loose near the Ross island bridge
downstream.
"Wo saw thorn coming." Joe
Ruthrnuff, a galeman on the Haw
thorne bridge said. "Two fircboals
slowed 'cm down and eased the
crash. If they had rammed the
center span, they might have gone
right through.
He said It took the ships only
10 minutes lo make their unsched
uled trip downstream. The fircboals
mnnnged to turn the ships broad
side. The bridge was reonened lo

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.
He said there is no conflict be
tween this statement, which he
said he made "in fairness," and
his desire to investigate the role
of Reuther and his United Auto
Workers in a three-year-old strike
the union still is pushing against
the Kohlcr Co. in Kohler, Wis.
Union Vandalism Charged
The firm now is operating with
nonstrikers and new workers. It
has accused the union of "violence
and vandalism" and of boycott
efforts. The union savs the com.
Ipany has refused to bargain in
gooa laitn.
Goldwater said his own staff Is
looking into the legality of union
tactics In that dispute.
Much of Goldwater's dispute
with Reuther has revolved around
the senator's contention that it is
wrong to use union funds for polit
ical purposes.
The committee has no Immed
iate plans -for any kind of inves
tigation of the auto workers union.
It opens Tuesday a brief aeries
of hearings on what Chairman
McClcllan (D-Ark) said was evi
dence that some labor union offi
cials in the Scranton, Pa., area
used "goon squad" violence to de
prive union members of their
rights.
To Run Through Thursday
Alleged terror tactics against
some employers in labor disputes
mere also will De studied during
the hearings now scheduled
through Thursday.
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.

The AFL-CIO Ethical Prac
