Teamsters Ask
ForChurchAid

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb
10 (AP). - The International
Transfers Union is reported to
have tried to get Roman Cath
Ole Church support to help Or
ganize, Puerto Rico's 100000
workers, most of whom are
Catholics.
Catholic sources said they
were scandalized by visit paid
a month ago by a Teamsters
Union task force on the Most
Rev. James P. Davis, Bishop OF
San Juan.
The Bishop, formerly of Tue
son, Ariz., was said to have
promised nothing and remarked
that, while he favors labor
unions, workers must be pro-
tected from racketeering or
CARNATIONS.
Puerto Rico's government
earlier had made clear it woulo
not welcome the Transfers
Gov. Luis Munoz Marin anc
Labor Secretary Fernando Ser
IA have said every. legal means
will be used to stop an union
charged with racketeering from
invading the island.
The Transfers have been un-
der fire in Senate RacketS Com
mittee hearings in Washington
for more than two years.
When the Transfers men
failed to obtain Bishop Davis
help they we're reported to have
stressed the possibility Of ire
quent TeamSter-called strikes
The informants said the bishop
was told the Transfers wanted
to organize the island peace
fully. but had other ways to
accomplish the same purpose
The group was headed by
Richard Kavner Of st. Louis, a
general organizer and assistant
to Teamster President James r
Hoffa.
A number of ALICIA unions
have organized a few thousand
of Puerto Rico's workers. out
most have no affiliations.
The main concern of the
TeamSters is the islands $4,000
truck drivers. But it is indicated
rnat the union wants them tC
spread membership to all
Puerto Rican workers-just as

HOffa AssaiIs
Ethics Stand
Of AFL-CIO

Teamster President James r.
Hoffa contends the AFL-CIC
is applying a double standard
of ethics in expelling the Team
sters on corruption charges
while letting the Carpenters
Union stay in the federation.
Mr.. Hoffa also said yesterday
that he would like to get his
union back into the federation
but won't ask AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany to take the
Transfers back.
"Meany knows where to find
me-" Mr.. Hoffa told reporters,
I'm not asking him anything.
l have nothing to say to
Meany."
Mr.. Hoffa expressed these
views while waiting1to go before
the Senate Rackets Committee
for closed-door questioning
The committee has leveled cor
ruption charges against off,

Carpenters Unions. including
Mr.. Hoffa and Carpenters Pres

The Transfers, Mr.. Hoffs
said, never should have been
expelled from the AFL-CIO.
Are There Two Sets?
"The Transfers ought to be
taken back into the AFL-CIO
on the same basis as the Car
! penterS have remained" he
said. "Are there two sets OF
ethics?"
Mr.. Hoffa threatened to call
a strike against the Carpenters
Union as an employer, if that
union reSists Teamster efforts
to organize workers at the Car
penters' big citrus fruit groves
near Lakeland, Fla.
We're going to organize the
Carpenters citrus groves, and
put them on strike If they
won't negotiate with u.s." he
said without specifying whether
he wanted to organize truck
drivers at the groves, or other
groups of employees as well.
The Carpenters Union owns

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,
Feb. 19.-AFL-CIO leaders are
printing today to press their
increasingly bitter attack on
the Eisenhower adminiStra-
tion's economic policies.
The labor federation's Execu-
tive Council, meeting here at
the Caribe Hilton Hotel, in
tends to pound away at the
theme that the President is
complacent about problems of
unemployment and economic
growth. Economics dominate
the meeting, overshadowing in
Iternal problems.
The councils most vocal
critic of the administrators
economic policies, Walter P,
Reuther, Sharpened the dispute
with a heated reply to Presi-
dent Eisenhower's press con-
ference jibe yesterday at labor
leaders fretting about unem-
ployment while lolling on the
sunny beaches of Puerto Rico.
March on Washington
Mr.. Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers, has been
planning a march of unem-
ployed persons on Washington
to demand Government help.
In a statement issued to an
swer the Presidents remarks.
Mr.. Reuther said the march
might accomplish something by
"shattering the complacency
that falls like a fog over Wash
Ilngton."
The fiery labor leader charged
that the administration has
failed to provide the affirmative
leadership essential to getting
America back to work"
Echoing statements by ALL
CLIO President George Meany.
Mr.. Reuther said Mr.. Eisen-
hover is "obSeSsed with balanc-
ing the budget" at the expense
OF encouraging economic growth
to achieve full employment
and full production"
Mr.. Reuther declared "a con-
tinuing deficit in leadership is
more serious than a continuing
deficit in the budget"
AS for union leaders disport-
ing on Puerto Rican beaches
Mr.. Reuther snapped back:
i go where the meetings
are that l am obligated tc
participate in just as you will
be going to the fashionable
resort at Acapulco, Mexico
Mr.. President, l have spent
no time on the sunny beaches
! OF Puerto Rico, nor have I beer
; with you and your many big
business friends on the COLL
courses, the duck blinds or the
quail hunts"
The bitterness of Mr.. Reu-
theirs retort to the President
reflects the basic decision by
AFL-CIO leaders to blast the
administration on economics
Their campaign is expected tc
carry over into union political
activity against Republicans.
Defiance Reiterated
Mr.. Meany and the whole
council yesterday reiterated
their defiance of Mr.. EiSen.

unions in bargaining for wage

Bank for Gonesters Finds
5It's a Tough Job Collecting
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star stan Writer

A set Of New Years resolu-
tons for an alleged "gangster's
bank" made public today BY
the Senate Rackets Investi-
eating Committee. shows that
even when your friends are
reputed to include some Of the
toughest gentlemen in town you
can't always collect on your
loans.
The partners in a New York
firm, which witnesses said yes
terday is a loan agency for
gangsters, resolved in language
lifted from both Madison ave-
nue. and Brooklyn to give col
lections the old try. however,
in the new year.
Brothers Partners
The memo. labeled "ourI
resolutions for the coming
year 1884, was supposedly
sent from one Bernoff brother
to the other. Charles and jacob
Bernoff are partners in the
Admiral Trading Corp, de-
scribed as a lending agency for
mobsters by committee wit
nesses and by Robert Kennedy
committee counsel. Mr.. Ken
nedy said the brothers associate
with the top mobsters" Of
New York.
The Bernoffs stood on the
Fifth Amendment yesterday
when asked to comment on
their activities.
The memo starts in a forth
right manner (original SPELL
ing and punctuation is pre-
served throughout:
- Either we take a stand and
collect what is due US, or We
continue to be good fellows and
go broke"
1t added: "You must take a
firm position and do not de-
viate, remember you will be a
bad fellow if you ask for your
money, if you don't ask, you
won't get. If you don't get you
will be a nice fellow. The
choice is obvious, be a little
bad, don't be so nice, its not
appreciated anyway"
The memo included this ex-
hortation for the new year:
pitch in. get in the ball
] game and lets hit a couple of
, homers and win a few ball
games, its about time. The
bible says, Seek and We shall
find.'"
Deadbeat Row
There we're ten deadbeats
listed. Their debts to the
brothers totaled $147.O00.
Among them;
"B. HE is playing a game
Of cat and mouse with you.
You be the cat and let him be
the mouse"
"VogelStien:-Here's another
weasel. There's about $4,000
due from that mail deal. He
brought that swidler here, let
him pay"
"Goldstien-Once and for all .
let's see what kind of cards he
is playing with. If he is bluff
ing, let him sit down like
good boy and arrange to pay"
"Pcnny-He is doing pretty
well and there's no reason to
stand for his insolent insults
and abuse"
"Cuppy - This bum keeps
ducking, let him borrow from
his good friends and pay up.
Tell him any story, it's rough,
etc, and we need it,"
"Feur - This one gets my
goat, his snappy attitude is one
for the books. Nail him to the
cross"
The memo ends on note of /
enthusiasm:
Lets see what 81 brings and
heres hoping Yonkel Doodle
goes to town."
