    Evidence Links Union Officials With
Racketeers, Chairman McClellan Says
By HERBERT fCSTEH
United Press Correspondent
Washington ;'J.R) Chairman
John J. 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. Maloney, a
j3r"Jy Se&Ule .mbler who often
listed himself s a Teamster un
ion organizer.
Racketeer James B. Elkins o
Portland, Ore., has charged that
West Coart Teamster Boss I'rank
W. 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.

while they cheered.
The princess, whose birth
saved Monaco from French

in the palace courtyard, was so
festive that even the croupiers
at the Monte Carlo Casino got

That went all right with Caro

Caroline made her first public

She shrieked. It was one of

Caroline's parents calmed her.
Rainier finally was able to
respond to the mayor. He told
