Union Officials Deny
Charges 10
Insure Labor Peace

Two accused union officials to-
day denied emphatically that
they ever extorted money from
contractors to insure labor peace.
Clayton A. Lowry and John e.
Sullivan, on trial in Federal
Court on charges of extortion and
conspiracy, made the denials as
witnesses in their own behalf.
They are accused of accepting
part of a $4,000 payment made
by the Metro Decorating Co., Of
New York, when that firm had
a job to paint barracks and mess
halls at Andrews Air Force Base
in 1851. Mr.. Lowry also is ac-
cused Of accepting part Of $500
paid by Michael Restuccia, Of
Clifton, N. j., another subcon-
tractor on the Andrews job.
Disputes Key Witness.
Mr.. Sullivan's appearance as
q witness was his entire case.
Under questioning by his at
torney, Clifford Alder, he dis
puted testimony Of the Govern
ment's key witness, Archie B.
Moore, ousted business agent Of
District Council 81, AFL Brother
hood Of Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers of America.
Mr.. Sullivan said he told his
story truthfully to the special
House Anti-racketeering sub
committee last August, and would
have told it again to the grand
jury considering the current
case.
He said the reason he didn't
talk to the grand jury was that
Assistant United States At
torney E. Riley Casey told him
he would have to sign away my
constitutional rights, and that
he couldn't ask me any questions
unless ] did"
Turns Fire ON Moore.
Mr.. Lowry turned his IRE on
Mr., Moore. He said the former
business agent had falsely ac-
cused him of extorting money,
and was lying when he said there
was any agreement to split the
money.
Contractors have testified they
paid money to union officials to
insure getting good workers and
to keep out Of labor trouble.
Mr.. Lowry and Mr.. Sullivan
are under suspension from the
jobs as secretary-treasurer and
business agent, respectively Of
