The committee sought more details on the 1954 bombing of a non-union construction project in Scranton, Pa. Arriong those called to provide it were four local officers convicted of con spiracy in connection with the blast. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said he expected some of the witnesses to claim the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and re fuse to answer questions. Fought Own Members The bombing case was fea tured Tuesday as the committee heard reports of terrorism and violence in the Scranton area by union leaders who allegedly used thugs and strong arm men against their own members as well as against balky employers. McClellan issued the challenge to the AFL-CIO high command after the testimony pointed out that John Durkin, Anthony Bon acuse, Philip Brady and Joseph Bartell all officials of AFL-CIO affiliates in the Scranton area had been convicted in the bomb ing case. 4 CLUB NEWS France Mobilizes To Combat Strike Paris U.R France mobilized its army today to fight a 48-hour transportation strike that stopped nearly every wheel in France at midnight. Olive drab two-and-one-half ton trucks were sent to bus and subway stops to carry workers to the jobs this morning after Paris busline and metro (sub way) employees decided to joint the strike. The stoppage involved 365,000 railroad men, 20,000 barge workers and 8,000 Air France ground crewmen. A few subway trains con tinued to run early today, but under an "indirect strike" ar rangement. ' Passengers rode free. Car pools sprang up and in surance companies announced they would extend coverage to policy holders for car-pool pas sengers during the strike. The French government con trols wages in France's nation alized transportation industry. A last minute government move boosted railroad wages Tuesday night by one and one-half per cent retroactive to Jan. 1, but the boost failed to halt the strike.

Mike Charley, Reporter, To Carry Cleaning The chairman said he does not believe the code of ethics recent ly adopted by the AFL-CIO con templated that convicted crim inals can hold union office. At its meeting in Miami in January, the AFL-CIO Executive Board approved stringent codes designed to eliminate all forms of union racketeering. The board at the time stated that "obvious ly, if a person has been convicted of a crime involving moral tur pitude offensive to trade union morality, he should be barred from office or responsible posi tion in the labor movement." Union Officials Silent Sen. Barry Goldwater (R Ariz.), supporting McClellan' stand, commented that "if this code of ethics . . . means any thing" union leaders who partic ipated in a testimonial dinner for the four convicted union of ficials should "explain their statements." He said the state ments of the leaders amounted to "extolling" the records of the convicted officials. Goldwater read from a news-pape- account of the $15-a-plate affair which quoted statements by William Kendrick, described as international vice-president of the Laborer's Union; Hugh. Gormley, regional vice-president of the AFL in Indiana; James McDevitt, then president of labor's League for Political Edu cation; and Joseph Keenan, inter national vice-president of the In ternational Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers. AFL-CIO officials had no im mediate comment on the com mittee's challenge. However in another case, involving Teamster Union President Dave Beck, an AFL-CIO spokesman said pro ceedings against Beck will con tinue despite sharp opposition Tuesday from the Teamsters' Ex ecutive Board.
