A pretty buSinesswoman from
Detroit told the Senate Rackets
Committee today that a man
calling himself "Hofia" threat
ened reprisals II she TESTIFIED
about her troubles with gang
sters.
Mrs. Nancy Dawson. owner OF
the Dawson Industrial Laundry,
emerged fro mhiding under FBl
protection TO tell her story.
She identified, as a memo
written by her secretary on a
phone call received last July,
q note that said: "Tell Mrs.
Dawson 10 keep her mouth shut
and all will be all right. There
win be no trouble"
The memo carried a notation
that the phone call was from
Transfers, Mr.. Hoffa."
Main Target

the Transfers Union, Is the
main target Of the committees
current investigation.
All told. Mrs. Dawson testi-
fed. she received four threats.
A week after the call from
"Mr. Hoffa." her secretary re-
ceived another threatening
phone call, and wrote this
memo:
TELLING you to be careful.
Don't want anything to happen
to her or her family. Please
leave us alone. Know she has
been seen with Salinger "a

Everything was fine until she
came into the business .
this Is not meant to- be a
threat. but please tell her."
One Of Competitors
The caller identified himself
as one Of Mrs. .Dawson's COM
petitors in the overall supply
and laundry business.
A third threat was relayed
to Mrs. Dawson BY an unidenti-
fed acquaintance, she said, who
told her: "It's too bad. Mrs.
Dawson is a good-looking
woman; it would be a shame
to ruin her."
Committee Counsel Robert
F. Kennedy said he will develop
evidence on a fourth threat
later. r
Lost an Account
Mrs. Dawson testified she
lost an account with a Detroit
auto dealer to the Star Cow
erall Co. and was told that the
business was switched because
Of "pressures."
Other witnesses have told of

The prices OF rolled sheet and
strip steel were raised BY United
States Steel about s4.2s a ton
an increase In line with the In
ereases previously announced
by other companies.
Senator Wiley. senior Repub-
lican on the antitrust subcom-
mittee. said in an interview
that the steel price increase
should receive careful eonsid-

he said. 1t is going TO start q
spiral Of wage and price in
creases, This would be a very
unwholesome thing at this
time"
Urges President 10 Act
Senator Kefauver said that
since late in May he had been
urging President Eisenhower TO
get the steel companies and the.
union together in one room and
TO try TO work out a wage-price'
formula that would head of an
other round Of imitation.
Il am disappointed the Presi-
dent has not acted" he said.
II think he might even now
be able to secure a price roll

Meanwhile, the Aluminium
Co. Of America posted a 7-lO

price will be 24.7 cents a pound
Below March 81
Even with the increased
price, pig aluminium will be-
selling l.3 cents a pound less
than 1t cost last March before
Alcoa lowered prices 2 cents a
pound to meet competition on,
the world market.
The steel price increase left
unchanged the price tags on
such items as oil tubing, struc-,
tural steel and heavy steel
plates as well as wire products.
The price Of these items has
remained unchanged since July
l. 1857, when the steel industry
boosted prices an average Of
$6 ton.
1t is the prices Of these
items that manufacturers and
fabricators are expecting TO be
increased. No one seemed pre-
pared to say how soon, or if3
such an increase will come. @

Raylaine Refund Case

The subcommittee heard al
most a score of witnesses con-
corning a SAL 900 refund award
ed last year by the Army Serv-
ices Board of Contract Appeals
to the Raylaine Worsted Co. of
Worcester, Mass.
That company, no longer &C
tive in operation. was penalized
for approximately $4,000 in
the early i950s for late de-
liverles of some wooden cloth
to the Army. Its claim for a
$4,000 refund was turned
down by the board more than
10 years ago. The matter was
reopened and the board last
fall awarded more than the
company had claimed.
The subcommittee has heard
testimony that Mr.. Adams was
among several persons who
communicated with the board
in the case. The White House
has denied he did anything i'm
proper.

COnferees'
OK on Trade
LawAwaited

House and Senate eonferees
may settle their differences TO-
day over extension Of the re-
ciprocal trade law. one Of the
major issues still confronting
this Congress.
But even n this bill Is dis
posed Of today. both chambers
viii have more than a dozen
major subjects 10 act on before
adjournment. which most OBJ
servers believe is at least two
weeks away.
Six Major Issues
Among other big issues are:
l. The foreign aid appropri-
alton. on which the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee will
vote Tuesday. The Senate is
expected TO raise the SO billion
House figure close to the $50
billion authorized ceiling.
2. Social security liberaliza-
ton. which passed the House
yesterday and goes before the
Senate Finance Committee some
time next week.
3. Three tax bills, all OF
which are on the Senate's door,
step. after passing the House.
Two make numerous minor
adjustments in the revenue
code. while the other helps
small business.
4. Housing and farm bills,
which have passed the Senate
but still await House action.
5. A comprehensive new pro-
gram Of Federal scholarships
to encourage more students to
become scientists. This awaits
action In both chambers.
8. The Administrators re.
quested increase Of 90 billion in
the $3.50 billion public debt
ceiling.
Seek Trade Compromise
On reciprocal trade, the
House passed a bill generally
acceptable TO the administra-
ton, granting a five-year ex-
tension with authority to make
further tariff cuts Of Is per
cent.
The Senate cut the extension
to three years with only is
per cent Of additional cutting
power. which would have to
be put into effect at the rate
Of per cent annually. If the
5 per cent installment was not
used in any year it could not
be carried over.
Informed sources are pre-
dieting the conferees will ex-
tend the law for at least four
years and increase the cutting
power to at least 20 per cent.
1t is probable the House also
will succeed in eliminating the
Senate restriction on carry
over Of cutting power not used
in the early years.
The final agreement prob
ably will retain a new defini-
ton Of factors that affect ma
tional security which must be
considered by the administra-
ton in granting relief to
American industries in hard
ship cases.

House Vote to Cite
GoIdfine Seen Certain

The New England textile and
real estate magnate refused
specifically to answer queries
about fund Withdrawals he and
others made several years ago
from the East Boston Co. and
the Boston Port Development
Co., concerns he controls. The
subcommittee Northumberland
was sustained yesterday by the
full committee-that the ques-
lions had an important bearing
on operations Of companies SUBJ
ject to Securities and Exchange
Commission supervision.
In a contest between his
Washington and Boston law
yers, Mr.. Goldfine took the ad-
vice of Samuel P. Sears and
Lawrence Cohen Of Boston in
refusing to answer. Attorney
Roger Robb of Washington, ac-
cording to a memo he made
available after parts of it were
disclosed in Boston, took the
position that Mr.. Goldfine
should have answered most if
not all Of the questions.
Meanwhile, another House
subcommittee, investigating a.
matter involving Mr.. Adams
but not Mr.. Goldfine, meets
today to work out methods of
making public the "unexpur-
gated" transcript of testimony
taken at closed sessions during
the last two weeks. 1t de-
cided yesterday to hold no pub
lie hearings.
Representative Hebert, DEM
ocrat of Louisiana, chairman of
the House Armed Services In
vestigating Subcommittee, dis
closed that Mr.. Adams had
been given an opportunity to
testify in closed session but had
sent word he saw no reason to
do so.

IRVING HANSEN ISSUES
STATEMENT ON CIIY'S
LIQUOR STORE POLICY

Irving w. Hansen, liberal can
didate for State Representative in
the 33rd District, issued this state
ment. Il strongly favor a study
by the City Council Of the mum
icipal off-sale liquor stores. The
question has been raised as to a
municipal liquor store being equiv
alent to placing all church mem
bers and taxpayers in the hq-
uor business. I do not believe this
III churchgoers and taxpayers
(which includes mel are going to
allow liquor to be sold at all, and
il is a choice between huge profits
in the pockets Of the privileged
few or municipal stores, I strongly
urge the municipal stores. In this
way the profit win go back to the
local government where 1t right
fully belongs.
People deplore the fact that
taxes are too high. Here is a
logical place where the taxpayer
could save many a tax dollar.
This matter should be presented
to the next legislature by the
Minneapolis City Council" Mr..
Hansen says.
II have the honor Of being
elected as a State Representative,
1 will definitely work for tighten
ing the taxpayers load We must
make il our business to hold taxes
in line with a mans ability to
pay" 7
