House Probers Find
Notable Abuses in
Union Welfare Funds
Charge Intimidation,
Collision and Poyoffs;
Urge More Hearings

A House subcommittee re-
ported today it had uncovered
irregularities and abuses in the
handling Of union health and
welfare funds. and called on the
84th Congress to continue the
probe.
The group said some contribu-
tions to such funds were 'nego-
tiated by threats and violence, /"
that employers IN some cases
were afraid to assert their pre-
negatives, and that administra-
tors of the self administered
funds squandered the assets by
influence payments to union of
ficials to obtain more accounts
to administer.
The special subcommittee OF
the House Education and Labor
Committee made only one recon-
rnendation, which 1t said was
linked with the impoSsibility of
learning how big such funds are
and how many there are.
Urges More Records.
It urged that the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue, revise and ex-
pand the information required
from trust funds with tax
exempt status, SO that more
complete records of their acti-
vities will be available.
Otherwise. the report said, the
subcommittee has not obtained
sufficient information to justify
any legislative recommendations
at this time"
During hearings here last
month, Arthur A. Peisner, who
administers several Washington
funds. testified about profits of
A per cent in handling some
of them.
He also told Of paying $45, 900
to two union officials-Leo Naz-
din, president of the Washington
Laborers' District Council, and
Faust Moreschi, international
official of the AFL Hod Carriers
Union--to help him get more
accounts to handle In Boston,

By Charles B. Seib
By ChorIes B. Seib

Wolf Ladejinsky, fired from
his Federal job on security
grounds by the Agriculture De-
partment. was hired today by
the Foreign Operations Admin
istration and given full security
and loyalty clearance.
Mr.. Ladej ejinsky. a Russian
born farm expert. will go to
Wet Nam. anti Communist
southern section of Indo- China,
to do the same sort of land re-
form work he was doing in Japan
until Agriculture Secretary Ben
son removed his security clear
ance and ousted him.
FOA said the clearance it gave
Mr.. Ladejinsky was based on an
up-to-date review of all available
information on him; including a
full field background investiga-
ton by the FBI.
Grateful for Confidence.
Mr.. Ladejinsky, at a press
conference set up after the FOA
announcement that he had been
hired, expressed qualification "for
the faith and confidence shown
by this administration in my
character, my abilities and my
loyalty"
He added with some bitter
ness:
"As to Mr.. Benson, ! do not
propose to sit in his judgment.
I leave this to his fellow men,"
Ousting of. the 55-year-old
farm expert from his job as
agricultural attache to the
American Embassy In Tokyo
caused a storm Of controversy
and brought protests from Re-
publicans and Democrats in
Congress. The case eventually
went to the White House, where
today's action was planned. it is
believed.
In his comments today, Mr.,
Ladejinsky credited the wide
publicity his case received with
his success in getting clearance
and a new job.
Praises Three Media.
'I firmly believe the issue is
resolved in great measure" he
said. due to the American press
and radio and television and
other means Of communications
/ hereby propose three cheers for
all these media"
He also expressed apprecia-
tion to Representative Judd, Re
publican, of Minnesota, who
sought a reversal OF the Benson
ruling. Mr.. Judd, he said, lis
one of the staunchest defenders
of the fundamental concepts on
which the true American way OF
life rests "
It was at this point that he
made his reference to the judg-
ing Of MIR. Benson by his fellow
men.
Mr.. Ladejinsky. who has been
an American citizen since 1928
said he was grateful for the
privilege of continuing to serve
his country and that while he
regretted leaving Japan, he be-
lieved he would find opportuni-
ties for constructive accom-
plishment In Wet Nam.
He said he did not know when
he would leave on his new as
signment.
Will Get Same Pay.
FOA said Mr.. Ladejinsky will
receive salary of $11.800 In
his new job. the same amount
he received as agricultural at
tache.
White House approval of the
move was indicated by James
C. Hagerty. presidential press
secretary.
THE White House asked the
heads of departments and agen-
cies involved to use their best
judgment in working out this
