Ore Committee Members Split On Labor Legislation Needs By ALV1N SPIVAK WASHINGTON L'Pli The Sen ile Rackets Committee in near ing he end of it three-year Jour ney along crooked trails of crime and corruption in labor and man jement. Apart (rom mop-up investiga tions and a close look at the role unions piay.in politics, the com mittee's main eflort now will be to prepare a final, comprehensive report on what it has found and where this should lead. The eight-member committee headed by Sen. John L. McClel lan 'D-Ark.) already has inspired the drive for labor reform legis lation which meets its crucial test in the House this week. sicucijan has emphasized re Heatedly' that the committee charges of corruption have ap plied to "a minority of the un ions. Most of the investigative road has run through Teamsters ter rain where the committee has en dured head-on collisions with Hot fa and Filth Amendment road blocks from his aides. It has been territory which, ac cording to the testimony, has been infiltrated by gangsters and racketeers ranging from street corner thugs to crime overlords of New York, Detroit and Chi caso. The committee also has tracked through smaller but similar areas Us disclosures have prompted 'of unions including the Bakers the AFL-CIO to drive the scan-: Butchers, Carpenters, Hestauran dal-scarred Teamsters Union from its ranks and knock leaders of several other unions from power., Committee hearings, have touched off a number of federal and slate criminal prosecutions, and have sparked a Justice De partment investigation of "whole sale" racketeering, perjury and income tax evasion, by various Teamsters officials. The committee's second interim report, issued last week on the basis of last year's testimony, ac cused Teamstors President James n, Hoffa of sinister 'doings which it said, "will successfully destroy the decent labor movement" un less he is curbed. The lone of the committee's1 fi nal recommendations will depend to a large extent on the final shape in which labor reform leg islation comes through this year. Committee members themselves are divided on how strong it should be. Testimony before the committee already has amounted to 45.000 pages of original transcript. It covers 2H2 days of public hear lugs in which l,50j witnesses ap peared and 341 of them invoked the Fifth Amendment. . Optnt 4:45 LAST 2 DAYS! -Wit MCJlf4 V THE FIVE 3 LAST 2 DAYS!

Charges have involved "dicta toi ships'' reaching from local to internal ionnl levels of several un ions: extortion of money from employers; brutality, from anony mous threats to brass-knuckles beatings and murder; graft and collusion, including allegations that some union agents worked with law enforcement officers to lake over local vice operations. The latter sort of inquiry, cen Icring on Portland, Ore., started the committee on Us way early in 1057. But before long, the Port land sensations were drowned out by the howling swan song, In a Fifth Amendment key, of Dave Reck, Iloffa's predecessor as Teamsters president. Beck's downfall began after the committee traced through thou sands of financial transactions and came up wilh documented charges that he "took, not bor rowed, more than $370,000 in un ion funds." I tie committees dismay over Beck's "uncontrollable greed" soon gave way to anger and shack shout Hoffa, leading it to si.ile that Hoffa "presents an even greater threat 'than' Becki lo the welfare of this country." Last week's report charged lhat Hoffa "maneuvered" use of three million dollars in Teamsters in surance money to "pay off a longstanding debt to the Chicago underworld and to the corrupt la bor leader who introduced him to Midwest mob society, Paul Dorf man." Th,e report said the mon ey, paid to Dorfinan's son and wife over eight years, included $1,650,000 "in excess commissions and service fees." In its March, 1(158, interim re port, Ihe committee said "union funds in excess of in million dol lars were either stolen, embez zled, or misused hy union offi cials over a period of 15 years, for their own financial gain or the gain of Iheir friends and as sociates." ' The committee's final total Is still being tallied. "DENNIS THE' MENACE" Monday. Aiiffual .ML lflSft:" A -. ? H Grandma rmotorists Aggravating; Towns Better PORTLAND (L'PI) - A 1,000 mile automobile trip is con sidered long and tiring, but even this long distance seems short compared to the 2.0O0-plus mile walk from Independence, Mo., to Portland completed three days ago by 71-year-old Emma Gate wood. Mrs. Gatewood. a great-graid-mother from Galllpolis, Ohio, left her home May 2 on a Greyhound bus (or Independence. Mo., where she arrived May 4. She departed iay 4 en route to Portland along Hit old' Oregon Trail for the Or egon Centennial. She admitted that the trip was hard and said it was "prctly nerve-wracking with cars whiz zing -by." Mrs. Gatewood, affectionately called "grandma" by people who have become acquainted with her, said that during the trip she became aggravated with motor ists, but added that people in towns along the way were "nice." She said "I never thought of quitting." Mrs. Gatewood, '71 years young said "after starting any thing I don't turn back very easy." Ohio's walking great -grandmother is a guest of the Oregon Cen tennial Commission in Portland and is currently slaying at Port, land's Benson Hotel free of charge.
