The Senate RacketS Commit
tee said today it saw a "po-
tential threat to freedom of the
press" in payoffs allegedly ex-
acted by racketeers from some
metropolitan newspapers and
big publishing and distributing
firms.
The statement was included
in a report to the Senate on
the committees 1859 inveStiga-
ton of alleged labor racketeer-
ing in the wholesale delivery
of newspapers, magazines and
newspaper Sunday supple
mentS.
The report said big payments
were exacted by racketeers to
avert costly delivery stoppages,
and as a price for continued
labor peace in the delivery field.
1t said the money went to
Harold Gross, a convicted New
York City labor extortionist,
and Cornelius (ConnieJ Noon
an, head of the Inland Termi-
nal Workers Local 1880 of the
International LongShoremen's
Association.
The report said the commit
tee had found payments ag-
gregating s307,136.8O had been
made to Gross and Noonan by
the New York Times, the New
York Mirror, the Neo-Gravure
Printing Co. of Weehawken,
N. j., and the American
Weekly. owned by the Hearst
Publishing Co., Inc. 1t said
American Weekly paid to avert
a threatened stoppage of it's
deliveries to the New York
Journal American. There was
no immediate comment from
the newspapers.
The report accused a group
of New York racketeers of ex-
acting big extortion payoffs
from wholesale newspaper and
magazine distributing firms in
the New York area and infil-
trating both the management
of some of these companies
and some labor unions with
which they bargain.
1t noted that II of the 10
officials of the Newspaper and
Mail Deliveries Union of New
York and Vicinity invoked the
Fifth Amendment when asked
whether they had extorted
money from these companies,
received brides or been paid
off for labor peace.

From the evidence the COM
mittee can only conclude that
this commission was formed
merely for purposes of decep-
tion-to conceal from the
committee. the courts and the
public generally Hoffa's de-
pendence on and obligations to
these Gacketeer) elements, "
the report said.
Mr.. Hoffa named former
Senator George H. Bender. Re-
publican of Ohio, to head the
three-man commission. Mr..
Bender since has resigned from
the post.
After promising to clean up
the union. the report said, Mr..
Hoffa assigned Harold Gross to
head Transfers Local 800 in
Miami, and then put up $4,000
a month of Teamster funds to
substitute what it called this
racket local"
Called Convicted "Fixer"
1t said Gross was a convicted
labor extortioniSt known as a
flxer when Mr.. Hoffa assigned
him to the Miami post.
The committee in prior re-
ports had accused Mr.. Hoffa
of corrupt deals and alliances
with big shot gangsters.
Its latest findings were in
the first installment of CATCH
all final report to the Senate
on a variety of Investigations
held in 1858 and 1859. Other
installments will be filed later.

The report also charged that
some officials of the Sheet
Metal Workers Union had ex-
torted money from employers
and helped to rig bids on con-
tracts with the City of Chicago.
The committee said it ex-
pected someone - it didn't
name anyone-to be prosecuted
on perjury charges because of
conflicts in testimony about
alleged favors to Arthur H.
Harry Cronin. president of
the unions Local 70.
The committee said it felt
Congress should investigate
thoroughly - in a campaign
year-the political spending
Of labor unions and employers.
Authority Ends March 81
Although the committee has
jurisdiction over political
spending as a possible i'm
proper activity in the labor
management field" it conclud-
ed, such an investigation, if
it is undertaken, must of neces-
sity be left to a committee of
the future"
The committees authority
expires March 81.
In another section it cited
its long and much .publicAzed
hearings on secondary boycott
practices in strikes as evidence
that Congress was justified
last year in enacting a labor
management reporting act
which bans secondary boy
colts.

When you suggested that
you two go along as usual,
this should have given her
a clue as to how you felt.
But, it appears she is not
satisfied with your present
relationship and wants to tie
you down. I suggest that
you do not change your
ideas simply because she
wants you to.
Rather than become in

you do not want, it would be
far better to break off with
