She recited a list of alleged union abuses ranging from failure to collect social secur ity taxes to nonenforcement of union contracts which for bids women entertainers to cadge drinks for a cut of the take. Members of AGVA, includ ing a growing number of strippers and exotic dancers, frequently are shunted out of the union on trumped-up charges when they speak out against injustice, she charged. Police blotters in cities across the country include charges against AGVA mem bers ranging from lewd and indecent performances to pros- tution, Miss Singleton testi fied, but union officials do nothing about it. Jack Bright, administrative director of AGVA. said earlier in an interview that most of the girls in his union never would stoop to cadging drinks from night club patrons for a cut of the take. Not Responsible He said the union cnuld not be responsible for those few of Its 400 to 800 stripper members who do double as bar girls. But Miss Singleton said AGVA officials permit night club operators to treat strip pers as "independent contrac tors" and force them to break the contract by soliciting drinks for commissions. "It is a matter of public knowledge that many of these so-called strip clubs are man aged by people who are fronts for racketeers," she testified. Miss Singleton, an enter tainer for more than 40 years, was president of AGVA in 1058. She said she had fought the paid union leadership. particularly Bright, since stepping down.
