Hoff a Accused of 'Complete
Dishonesty' in B aokets Report
Washington- (LTD -The Sen
ate Rackets Committee, clos
ing its books on three years
of investigation, accused
Teamster President James R.
Hoffa today o "complete dis
honesty" and contempt for
law and order.
But the committee also
charged that "lack of moral
courage and sense of public
responsibility 'on the part of
employers" was one of the
biggest contributing factors in
labor-management corruption.
The committee made its
charges in the first part of a
four-volume final report on
its 1957-59 hearings. Hoffa
will have an entire volume de
voted to him.
Today's volume encompass
ed charges of:
Underworld infiltration of
wholesale newspaper and
magazine distribution in New
York which the committee
described as a "shocking
potential threat to freedom
of the press."
-"Labor peace" payments
to teamster and longshoremen
officials by the New York
Times, New York Mirror,
American Weekly, and the
Neo-Gravure Printing Co.,
Weehawken, N. J., which
printed their Sunday supple
ments. -Secondary boycotts in
which unions, particularly the
teamsters, have "capricious
use" of power against business
firms which were not directly
involved in disputes with
them.
- "Tribute" payments to
sheet metal workers union of
ficials in Chicago by contract
ors and participation by union
leaders in "rigging of bids on
city contracting projects."
The eight-member special
committee said political
spending by both unions' and
management "should be thor
oughly investigated."
Today's volume was ap
proved by all four Democrats
and all four Republicans on
the committee. There will be
a separate Republican report
later on the United Auto
Workers.
The remaining two volumes
will deal with Hoffa, the Chi
cago Taxicab Union, criminal
syndicate cases, and coin ma
chine and jukebox rackets.

Harvey Aluminum
Tax Hearing Goes
Into Sixth Day
Salem (DPD A State Tax
Commission hearing on a
1958 tax wrangle with Harvey
Aluminum Company of The
Dalles entered its sixth day
today. .
The company contends that
the true cash value of the
plant at The Dalles is $19,
748,675 - and thus the basis
for payable tax while the
state figures it at $40,380,
945. The Wasco county assessor
arrived at the larger total and
Harvey appealed to the Wasco
County Board of Equalization,
which ruled that the lower
figure was applicable.
Lesser Tax Paid
Harvey paid its tax, about
$225,000, based on the lesser
valuation and the Wasco as
ssesor appealed the lower fig
ure to the Commission.
The near $20 million valua
tion was determined by a pri
vate appraisal firm, Marshall
Stevens, using a theory of
"economic obsolesence." The
state insists that its own ap
praisal is correct.
Harvey completed its case
Thursday, following testi
mony by appraisal experts,
and company and county of
ficials. Will Evaluate Testimony
Dean Ellis, chairman of the
State Tax Commission, said
he expects the hearing to last
through the middle of next
week.
The Commission will then
evaluate the testimony and
issue a ruling in the case.
Ellis said that due to length
of the testimony, this might
not be for many weeks.
Harvey could appeal the
final commission decision to
Circuit Court.
McKay Dam Bill

was pending before the House

naming Detroit dam and
asked to amend the bill ac
cordingly in the House.
