Rackets Committee Sets Hearing Sights On Mystery Mobster Washington (IP) The Sen ate Rackets Committee set its sights today on mystery mobster Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo, described as more important in New York than racketeer Johnny Dio, to learn the role he played in Teamster Union affairs. The committee also hoped for testimony from Samuel Gold stein, former president of a Teamster Union local who was convicted last month with Dio in a labor rackets case. Phony 'Paper Locals' Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the committee planned to call Goldstein and Corallo after questioning three officials of Dio-dominated Local 649 of the old AFL United Auto Workers: Harry Davidoff, Joseph Curcio and George Baker. Kennedy said Davidoff, Curcio and Curcio and Baker were in volved in the establishment of phoney "paper locals" in the Teamsters Union in November, 1955. The committee claims these locals were set up by Teamster Vice President James R. Hoffa and staffed with Dio's henchmen to swing an election and give Hoffa control of all Teamsters in New York. Corallo's name has cropped up several times in earlier hear ings. Committee Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) described him as a narcotics racket figure. He said dues from exploited union members provided an in come, for "the mob" that worked for Dio and Corallo. Recording Played While Dio was Invoking the Fifth Amendment about 140 times last week, the committee played a tape-recorded wiretap of an alleged conversation be tween him and Corallo, de scribed as vice president of a Teamster local.
