The use of the Caucus Room
for the Reuther press confer
ence prompted Senator Know
land, the minority leader, to
demand an investigation of the
circumstances. The Senator
was answered by Joe Wills,
press gallery superintendent.
who said that the conference
had originally been scheduled
in the press room Immediately
below the Caucus Room, but
was moved upstairs with the
approval of the Senate Office
Building custodian'S Office and
of a RacketS Committee staff
member.
The move was made because
more than 100 reporters and
photographers showed up for
the conference. Mr.. Wills said.
Senator Goldwater said Mr..
Reuther was "such a coward he
locked the doors" of the confer
ence room while his meeting
with reporters was going on.
Il couldn't get in, and my as
siStant couldn't get in" Sena-
tor Goldwster said.
Claims misunderstanding
Senator Goldwater said to-
day there had been a misunder-
standing about the reported
charge that he had been
locked out" of the caucus room
press conference. He said he
had actually been unable to
attend and that an assistant
of his had been denied ad-
mission.
The Senator added that he
had learned later that one of
his aides had been in the room
throughout
The Arizona Senator said the
whole matter had now blown
over after a conversation be-
tween himself and Senate Ma

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Probers Impressed
By JAW Unknown

At the inSiStence OF the Re-
publicans, United Auto Workers
President Walter P. Reuther
was Shunted aside and a young
Sheboygan (Wis) fellow was
called yesterday as the first
witness in the Senate Rackets
Committees inquiry into the
Kohler strike.
AS it turned out. the decision
was something like passing over
Francis x. Bushman and cast
ing JEFF Chandler as the ro-
mantle lead in new movie.
The young fellow-a 40-year-
old unionist named Allan Gras-
kamp-surprised nearly every
one in the Senate Caucus Room
yesterday. Mr.. Graskamp has
for more than four years headed
the striking JAW Local 1873.
which has been fighting a pre-
carious battle against the large.
rich and obdurate Kohler
Plumbing Fixture Company.
UnfluStered
Good-looking in an average
sort of way. a man of middle
height with Holland-Dutch
blond hair and blue eyes. Mr..
GraSkamp acted like anything
in the world but someone's coun-
try cousin as he faced the fear
some Mcclellan committee. He
refused to get fluStered: he
insisted on saying his say
and said it; he faced up straight
forwardly but not brashly to
even obviously hostile question
ing.
BY the time he had been on
the stand five minutes, re-
porters were asking each other.
What did the Democrats want
Walter (Reuther) on for. any,
way?" Ten minutes. and the
room full of people listened
silently as Mr.. Graskamp said:
