Building Trades
'Payoffs' Probed
By the Associated Pres,

The Senate Rackets Committee
dug deeper today into what Sem
ator Mundt, Republican Of South
Dakota, called crooked. under
Ithe-table payoffs" to labor union
officials and others in the New
York City area.
Senator Mundt, a committee
member, told a reporter public
hearings expected next month
will show that thousands OF
workmen" and the buyers of
laomes in two Long Island housing
Developments "all were gypped'
by sort of chain reaction in
corruption.
Senator Mundt's statements
came on the heels of vote by the
committee ordering start of
contempt PROCEEDINGS against
Nunzio j. Squillante, a former
garbage collection operator on
Long Island.
Squillante. refusing to turn
over subpoenaed financial rec
ords. declined yesterday to tell
the committee anything but his
name and address. He invoked
the Fifth Amendment on all other
questions. but refused to tell
whether he honestly believed
that answers might tend to in
criminate him.
Details Withheld
The committee called this
frivolous use Of the Fifth
Amendments protection against
standardization, and ordered
its staff to draw up the papers
to charge the witness with con-
tempt Of Congress.
Chairman Mcclellan. Demo-
crat OF Arkansas. withheld de-
tails OF matters about which
Squillante was questioned. ex-
cept to say they involved labor
management relations OF some
sort.
Senator Mundt said the COM
mittee has "clear-cut evidence"
OF payoffs that he said passed
from crooked employers to COR
rupt officials of some building
trades uniohs" in New York.
AS a result. he said. union
working for the en-
ployers were denied benefits
which other employees obtained.
Home buyers also were cheated.
Senator Mundt said, because
there is evidence that someone
got to some of the inspectors"
He declined to identify the
housing projects. but said the in
spectors allowed a lot Of shoddy
workmanship to slip by"
This could not have happened
without the collaboration of
crooked employers" he said.
Senator Mundt said the COM
mittee also is looking into "the
yachts. Cadillacs, costly hotel
suites and lavish living" with

which he said officials of some
smaller companies provided
themselves from earnings of
their firms.
He said this may not have
been Illegal. but was improper
use Of money that should have
gone to the widows and other
investors" in this stock. He did
not name any company.
He had mentioned this in
quiry in a radio interview tMBS
Reporters Roundup') last night.
Senator Mundt contended it
looked much like what he termed
the misuse of union funds" by
Teamsters Union President Dave
Beck. who invoked the Fifth
Amendment recently when asked
what he did with more than
$300. 900 Of the unions money.
i. Sees Dishonest Deals"
Beck has said he borrowed
and later repaid-between $780,
900 and 100000 from Teamsters
organizations. but he declined to
answer committee questions
about the transactions.
Senator Mundt said a mass of
evidence already on hand for
later public hearings shows that
dishonest contractors would
make dishonest. special. UNDER
the table deals with dishonest
labor Leaders," In exchange, he
said. the union officials approved
collective bargaining contracts
which deprived their members
of welfare fund and other fringe
benefits which other contractors
had to provide for their en-
ployes.
He said this made it cheaper
for the dishonest employer, who
then could underbid rival con-
tractors. The man who got
gypped was the working man."
Senator Mundt said.

The opposition developed last
night at an anti-Reuther caucus
led by Carl Stellato, president of
the 44.000-member Ford Rouge
plant local in the Detroit area.
A longtime critic of Mr.. Reu-
theirs, Mr.. Stellato urged his fol-
lowers to maneuver for a roll
call when the dues question
comes up for a vote. But he said
that would take 500 of the con-
vention's 5000 delegates and he
wasn't overoptimistic about it.
Strike Fund Boost Urged
Mr. Stellato said he opposed
the dues increase because none
OF it is going to the strike fund"
He said the JAWS present S23
million strike fund should be
increased to at least S100 mil
lion.
Mr.. Reuther had everything
his own way yesterday.
All estimated 81 per cent of
the delegates approved his plan

Easter recess of Congress. He
added that there was no doubt
about getting the legislation to

Senator Knowland said he was

ada and Mr.. Reuther said
That's precisely what We hope
will happen.
I The convention had to amend
the UAW constitution to create
the watchdog" board-firSt for
major union in the United
States. Mr.. Reuther said this
basic change will make more
effective our vigilance to keep
our union clean"
AT Mr.. Reuther's urging. the
convention also amended its
constitution to provide that local
unions select trial committees
by lottery instead Of electing
them.
The lottery method was de-
scribed as more democratic"
and designed to provide fairer
trials.
AT Mr.. Stellato's caucus, Mr..
Reuther was accused of failing
to use democratic methods in
running the convention. Paul
Silver, president of Detroit Local

up Of people attempting to keep

Mr.. Stellato charged that Mr..
Reuther had revised convention
rules to limit debate and taken
away the last lIstle bit of democ-
racy in the convention.

a hall with a seating capacity of
$50. AT least a few of the dele
gates attending appeared to be

who didn't identify himself,
created an uproar by arguing for
Mr.. Reuther's dues proposal. But
Mr.. Silver demanded that the

Also, Father Bum adds, Ivy
League football is expensive,
too, and the cost of erecting
stands and other facilities on
Kehoe Field for home games
would be prohibitive at this
time.
If a bystander may make an
observation here, the thought
h ere is that Georgetown's
schedule pattern showed no
attempt at building traditional
rivalries. Morris Bealle's book
on Georgetown football. pub
lished in 1947. shows IA games
with Boston College over a 29-
year period, IL with Bucknell
over a 35-year span: 10 with
Fordham in 81 years; IA with
CIV over 48 years, Is with
Maryland in Al years. Is with
Navy in 80 years. and so on.
The rivalry that could have
and should have been the big
one, of course, was that with
Virginia. begun in 1889 and
terminated in 1918.
The competition" Father
Bum mentions, is. Of course,
pro football. Many observers
long have felt that the col
legiate football played in this
area was but a pale carbon
copy of the type they watched
back home" in the Midwest,
Southwest and Southeast. Pro
football, especially with its
Sunday afternoon schedule was
made to order for them.
Such teams as Georgetown.
George Washington and Mary
land had no claims on their
loyalty, because Washington is
a cosmopolitan city with gov
eminent people from the 48
states. A Maryland Georgetown
game to them, for example,
was strictly a local rivalry that
failed to excite them, even
though the big three" of the
area generated some lively foot
ball when they got together.
But. getting back to Father
Bum, he believes that even if
Georgetown attempted to re-
store football on an Ivy League
basis it would almost in
evitably devolve into small time
football'-which only 5 percent
(of the alumniD favored-or it
would lead to the building of
pressureS for stronger teams,
more nationally recognized OPP
ponents. in a word big time
football'-and the cycle which
was interrupted in 1851 would
begin all over again!"
Well, that seems to settle it
for the time being. Father
Bum, however, didn't latch and
bolt the door. He closes by say

troverSieS.

Among proposals up for de-
bate are those to outlaw Span

limit AAU championships to

in track and field, swimming
and women's basketball; and to
broaden rules defining an anna

Arlington Youth
Sturts Fire on

An 18-year-old Arlington boy
was all fired up early today
over the annual Thanksgiving
Day football game between
Westinghouse High School
and George Washington High
The youth started a fire in
the middle of the Alexandria
schools football field. An Off
duty fireman. who thought the
stands had been set afire, took
the license number of the car
the youth was driving and
called Alexandria police.
The boy, whose name was
not disclosed, was picked up by
Arlington police but released.
Alexandria police said they
would talk to the boy, but
probably wouldn't charge him.
Just a prank" said one
officer, noting that the today's
play for the "Old Oaken
Bucket" at IL am. was a big
game in the series which now
stands at 10 wins for each
school and two ties.
