McClellan (D-Ark.) said inturdbjr evidence bJore his Senate T.ibor Rackets investigat i n g committee "conclusively lines'' high Teamster union oi fkaU "with racketeers. McClellan in an interview tresred thr.t documents produc ed by hi? investigators show that the Western ConJerer.ce of Team rtrs p;iid air travel and hotel bills of Thorn.-. E.

Brewster sent Maloney and Joseph P. McLaughlin, another Seattle gambler anri cloie friend of Brewster, to take over Port land's gambling and vice op erations after election of a union-backed district attorney. Supporting Evidence. McClellan said the fact that the union paid Maloney's bills is "very strong supporting evi dence." He said that when tiie union paid bills are connected with testimony that union pickets were used to force tavern own ers to use the pinball machines of a company organized by Mc Laughlin, "it shows rather con clusively the tie-up with officials of the union." The chairman also said "evi dence that the Teamsters union switched its support" to Demo cratic District Attorney William M. Lang'ey "is another strong circumstance that together with other evidence that has not been presented yet will pretty well establish the pattern that was being followed and the ob jectives those labor leaders sought to achieve." Indicted in Portland Langley, Meloney. McLaugh lin, Elkins a. id others have been indicted in Portland. Meanwhile, chief committee counsel Robert F. Kennedy said Elkins will continue his testi mony when hearings resume Tu esday this time to tell of alleg ed attempts by union-backed rac keteers to take over Portland's gambling and after-hours boot legging joints and open up more of the same. He said the Portland rackets king will testify on the amount cf rr-.or.ey he I.d received from his own gambling and efter hourj places, and alleged sr ransernenti to split the "take" of these and other placrs with Ma loney nd S!eLujfhlin.
