O'Rourke, a Hoffa -backed man.
O'Rourke. like many other wit
nesSes, invoked the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to
answer committee questions
about Teamsters affairs, the
New York council election and
other matters.
The lengthy questioning of
Mohn drew from him the ad-
mission that he did not think
persons with records such as
those adduced for Johnny Dio
and Tony Ducks Corallo had
any place in the labor move
ment. He refused. however. to
say whether he would lead a
movement at the Teamsters
forthcoming convention to kick
out such persons.
Mohn's position drew from
Senator Mcclellan the observa-
ton that you certainly show
very little enthusiasm for clean
ing up the Teamsters Union. !"
The labor Official said he pro-
tested the chairman's state
ment,
Evening star., 1957-08-20

executive vice president Of the
Teamsters Union. Mohn told
the committee yesterday that
he took full responsibility for
the issuance of so-called "phan-
tom charters to underworld
groups in New York late in
1855. He said the charters were
issued at the request of Hoffa
and with the knowledge Of
Beck.
Mohn insisted. however, that
he had no knowledge of the ma
ture Of the groups seeking
Teamsters charters. and
thought that the hasty char
tering of phantom locals was
being done for jurisdictional
reasons. At the time, he ex-
planned. a merger of the AFL
and CIO was impending, and it
was considered desirable to get
locals chartered in a hurry.
Units without Members
The hearings have brought
out that charters went to units
which had officers-many Of
them hoodlums-but not mem
berS. There was testimony
that these phony locals. as the
committee. called them, helped
oust Martin T. Lacey as presi-
dent of the key New York
Transfers Council.

Convicted Three Times
Asked by Mr.. Kennedy how
many times he had been ar
rested. Hoffa replied:
well, I don't know, Bob. !
haven't counted them UP. /
think about II times. Three
times ! was convicted"
In connection with the dis
cuSsion Of his police record,
Hoffa's temper came to the
surface for the first time.
Mr.. Kennedy was question
ing the union leader on a 1916
conviction in connection with
an organizing drive against
small corner-grocery owners.
1t was brought out that the
original charge was extortion
and that it was reduced to a
simple misdemeanor.
AS Mr.. Kennedy delved more
deeply into the matter, Hoffa
bristled and snapped:
You are implying that I am
guilty of extortion and that is
not true"

leader said nothing TO discount
this possibility.
Its going to be necessary
for the transport unions to
form some kind Of council -
Hoffa testified.
But he emphasized that he
was mot trying to organize all
the transport industry in one
big union" He said that what
he proposes is merely a council
for the exchange Of ideas and
some working arrangement that
would serve to protect wage
scales Of the workers in the
various transport industries. &.
Hoffa explained that, for ex-
ample, the railroads we're en-
croaching on trucking with
"piggyback operationS"-tr
porting OF loaded trucks on
fiatcars-and that the shipping
industry was undertaking a
similar operation with what ne
called "fishback" arrangements
with ships.
Hoffa said that it was going
to be necessary TO form some
looseknit council to exchange
ideas and for no other pur-
pose"
He said there would be mo
more danger of a Nationwide
tieup. because of the human
elements involved" in such an
organization. than there would
be of a tieup through a shut
down in heavy industry.
Hoffa described a Nation

for comments on the grounds
he would testify within a few
moments. and quickly took his
seat at the witness chair with
Mr.. Fitzgerald seated beside
him. He was dressed in a natty
brown suit with matching tie.
In an opening statement
Hoffa asked permission to re-
wise his testimony after ex-
amining the transcript. explain
ing that he would be testifying
largely from memory. He also
reserved the right to remain
silent on matters which he re-
garded as outside the scope of
the committees authority and
not serving any legislative pur-
pose.
Committee Chairman Nc
Clellan. Democrat of Arkansas.
brusquely rejected his request
to revise and correct his tes-
timony. He explained that
Hoffa was testifying under
oath and any corrections he
wished to make also would have
to be given under oath and
subject to cross-exa,Eination.
TOsscs Reservation TO Lawyer
On Hoffa's reservation re-
garding answers to questions
he considered outside the COM
mittee's scope. Senator Nc
Clellan said that was a matter
for Hoffa and his lawyer to
determine. In the past the
committee has refused to
recognize as valid any refusal
to answer questions except
that based on the Fifth
Amendment against possible
self-incrimination.
Senator Ives. Republican OF
New York. who brought up the
matter of the supertranspcrt
union which has been at
tributed to Hoffa. said he was
disturbed about it and asked
Hoffa, What do you have to
say?"
Hoffa replied that his ideas
had been misinterpreted and
sought to discount the fears
Of Senator Ives that such an
organization. if set up. could
paralyze the country with a
Nationwide strike.
Senator Ives prefaced his re-
marks regarding some sort of a
combine of transport unions by
mentioning that Hoffa had
been quoted on this and would
be in a position to push. it II
he is elected president of the
international Teamsters at the
unions convention starting

swered no questions.
Six witnesses, including Cos
tello. were brought to the sta
ton house in an attempt to
identify Gigantic as Costello's
assailant. The police would
not say if any identified him.
Gigantic Has Record
One of the six was Phillip
Kennedy, manager of a model
agency. who was with Costello
on the night of the shooting.
He was questioned about an
hour and then slipped from
the station house to taxicab.
He and Costello refused to
talk to reporters.
Gigantic was first arrested in
March. 1945, on a charge of
criminally receiving stolen
goods. His record includes ar
rests for grand larceny, arson,
violation of the Sullivan (anti-
weapons) law and gambling.
Soon after the shooting at a
plush Central Park West apart
ment house. Gigantic. a father
of four. disappeared from his
Greenwich Village home.
Without notice Gigantic ap-
peared at the West Fifty-fourth
street station around noon yes
terday with Mr.. Markowitz.
do you want me in the Co.'S
tello case?" Gigantic asked.
I'VE sure do" Mr.. Lussen re-
piled.
Detectives then began firing
questions at Gigantic.
