G.0.P.Po|ifics
Seen in Probe
0fAufo.Union
By the Associated Press

BY the Asbociateu ffess
The current investigation Of
the United Auto Workers is q
political witchhunt" to kick
of reelection campaigns Of two
Republican Senators, the
union charged yesterday.
The charges came from Jack
Conway, assistant to JAW
President Walter Reuther, and
Joseph L. Rauh, jr., the JAWS
Washington lawyer. They
pointed fingers at Senators
Mundt of South Dakota and
Curtis of Nebraska.
Senator Curtis replied "this
is an inquiry for facts, and the
facts developed can speak for
themselves" Senator Mundt
said when the facts are in
will be the appropriate time to
say whether the practices dis
closed are proper"
Running Probe
Mr.. Conway said the two
Republican Senators were run
ming the rackets committees
probe ofsthe JAW and other
committee members were in the
dark as to what was coming
next.
He said the charges being
aired against Richard T. Cos
ser. JAW international vice
president, were a rehash of
stale allegations raised 10 years
ago and proved unfounded.
Rackets Committee Chairman
Mcclellan, Democrat Of Ar
kansas. said they were unsub-
stantiated when the commit
tee looked into them a year and
a half ago. Mr.. Conway added.
Mr.. Conway and Mr.. Rauh
called a news conference late
yesterday, saying this was the
only way they could get the
unions side before the public.
The rackets committee had
just recessed until next Wednes-
day what has been billed as a
preliminary investigation OF
the JAW.
Fired Aide Witness
The main witness yesterday
was Jesse F. Motsinger of De-
troit, who said he was fired as
a JAW union organizer in
1855 ostensibly because he got
into a fist fight with another
union official.
But Mr.. Motsinger said he
felt his dismissal was a direct
result of my attempting to ex-
pose what I thought was cor
ruption at the international
level, waste of money and fail
ure to conform with the Reu-
Ither administration"
He said Mr.. Gosser had di.
Irected organizers to submit
false reports to the unions De-
troit headquarters to show
there was no need to cut the
staff as a result of a union
economy drive. Mr.. Motsinger
said these false reports stuck
in his craw.
Mr.. Conway and Mr.. Rauh
said Mr.. Motsinger was dis
gruntled because he was fired
and that his charges were un-
true. They said in 20 months
as an organizer Mr.. Motsinger
hadn't organized a single plant
for the JAW.
