|0f Post Office
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The House Appropriations
Committee is making a full
scale investigation of the Post
ONCE Department and its OPP
erations, The Star learned to-
day.
The House group, which has
major control of the purse
strings Of the Governments de-
partments and agencies, is
making the investigation to see
If the Post Office is operating
at maximum efficiency and
economy.
The Post Office Department S
methods of operation, its vari-
Gus postal policies and virtually
all other facets of its activities
are being closely scrutinized by
House committee investigators.
Could Affect Pay
Outcome of the investigation
may affect the departments
future appropriations as well
as the fate Of pending postal
rate increase legislation in Con-
gress. 1t could lead to congress
sional d m a nds for major
changes in postal operations
and more extensive moderniza-
ton programs. 1t also involves
postal workers jobs and pay
raise prospects.
Capitol Hill insiders say the
investigation was ordered as a
result Of Postmaster General
Summerfleld winning his dis
pute with Congress over an ad-
ditional $40 million in supple
mental appropriations.
When the House committee
at first baked at the request

He declared Connolly threat

The committee, meanwhile,
raised doubt that Hoffa, who
expects to be elected president
Of the big Transfers Union
next week. is qualified to at
tend the convention as q dele
gate under provisions Of the
union constitution.
This conclusion was drawn
/ yesterday by Senator Mundt,
Republican Of South Dakota
and Committee Counsel Robert
F. Kennedy because the slate
Of delegates from Hoffa's own
Local 299 in Detroit-includ-
ing the boss himself = was
elected only two weeks ago.
That testimony was furnished
the committee by William Bell
the locals business agent. And
the committee quickly noted
the Teamster constitution re-
quires that convention dele
gates be certified not less than
80 days before the convention
starts. The annual meeting in
Miami will begin Monday. about
three weeks after the locals
election.

him to come If he does
not appear voluntarily. This
would be done even II there

Probers Told I eomsters
Paid Legal Defense Fee

The Senate Rackets Com
mittee was told today that the
Central Conference of Team
sters financed the legal defense
Of a union henchman Of James
r. Hoffa who subsequently was
found guilty in cases involving
extortion from an employer,
misuse Of his locals welfare
fund and the dynamiting Of a
fellow unionist's automobile.
The union official, who was
the recipient of union money
for his defense, was identified
as Gerald Connolly, who is pres
emily serving time in the Terre
Haul tInd) Federal peniten-
! tiary.
The details of the use of
union money on behalf Of Con-
nelly was brought out by Chief
Counsel Robert Kennedy dur
ling the questioning of Arthur
Morgan, q former oificial Of
Teamster Local 548 in Mime
apolis. Connolly at one time
controlled this local.
According to Jerome S. Ad-
herman, assistant chief counsel
for the committee, $54.38l was
paid out Of union treasures for
legal fees for Connolly and two
other union ofiicials.

resented Hoffa earlier this year
| | na conspiracy case in Federal
court here, got $26.053 Of the
total for his services in 1855
and 1856.
Mr.. Alderman testified that
Connolly arranged for three
other men to plant a stick Of
dynamite in another Minneap-
oils teamster ofiicial's car in
February. 1856. He said Con-
nelly did this because the other
leader had refused to recog-
nize Connelly's picket line
around a liquor store.
/ Mr.. Alderman said Connolly
was acquitted on another
charge involving the dynanit-
ing of still another union ON
Gals home in the Minneapolis
area.
Mr.. Kennedy later pointed
out that Hoffa in May, 1856.
had in q statement to the press
asserted that he was tossing
Connolly out Of the Transfers
Union but that q month later
the Central Conference was
picking up the tab for Con-
nelly's legal debts.
100000 Loan
! 1t was pointed out also that
one Ben Dranow, who later
gained control of the John w.
Thomas department store in
Minneapolis. had put up SOS 600
as a loan to Connolly for the
latter's lawyer.
After Dranow took over the
Thomas store and while 1t was
being struck by the clerks
union, he obtained q 5000, 900
loan from the Transfers
Union. This was In June. 1856
Mr.. Dranow was to have been
questioned by the committee
today. but after being inter-
viewed late last week BY a stafi
aide. who served a subpoena
to him. the merchant was hosa

Committee Chairman Me-
Clellan said the committee sent
its own doctor to examine Mr.
Dranow. but the Senator did
mot comment on the findings.

nelly entered into a contract
with q barrel-making company
which reduced the hourly pay
rate from $1.32 to 81.
He also told the probers that
Connolly put a squeeze on the
owners of small iiollor stores
