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. .

Workers, Operating Engineers
and others
And management's sins have
been explored in cases where em
ployers paid olf corrupt union
bosses, or worked - with union
leaders for their mutual advan
tage and to the detriment of their
workers.
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.

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,

charge.
