StripCIub Tax
Methods Face
Strict Check
By LEE M. COIN
Star Staff Writer

Senate investigators intend
TO demand that the Internal
Revenue Service tighten en-
forcement of tax Withholding
in night clubs employing strip
teaserS and B-girls.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
OF Arkansas. said yesterday his
Permanent Investigations Sub
committee viii call Internal
Revenue officials as witnesses
later this summer in a second
round of hearings on shady
practices in show business.
Chairman Mcclellan indicat-
ed that he will watch the prog
resS of AGVA's promised clean
up and may call for an ac-
counting by the unions officials
in future hearings.
Contract Violation Charged
One Of the main charges de-
veloped in the hearings con-
cluded yesterday was tn a
AGVA has winked at violations
Of q contract clause requiring
night club operators to with
hold and pay social security
and unemployment compensa-
ton taxes for strippers.
Witnesses also charged that
AGVA has failed to protect the
shippers from club operators
who force them to mix with
customers, hustle drinks and
engage in prostitution.
Senator Mcclellan, in a clos
ing statement, charged that the
hearings portrayed "a sordid
and disturbing picture of an
organization which calls itself
a labor union, but in sad truth
is, with respect to one segment
Of its membership, only the
handmaiden and servant of
commercialized vice and crime. "
Shouting Match
joey Adams, president of
AGVA, was out-Shouted by
Senator Mcclellan in an angry
exchange over whether union
officials or law enforcement
agency's are mostly to blame
for laxity in permitting abuses.
Mr.. Adams. a night club
comedian, charged that the in
vestigators had care d.
AGVAs patriotic members by
publicizing the miSdeeds of a
, few B-girls and prostitutes.
While insisting that the vast
majority of AGVA's members
are highly moral, Mr.. Adams
pledged to take all necessary
action to correct any short
comings in the union. Jackie
Bright, AGVA's national ad-
ministrator, also promised to
push q cleanup drive.
But Mr.. Adams contended
the union has no power to en-
force the contract clause on
taxes.
He opposed a recent resolu-
ton by AGVA's national board
for a breakdown on B-girl op-
erations. The resolution was
unnecessary because the rules
were on the books, he said, add
ing that he did not want AGVA
to run scared" because. of the
Senate investigation.
Cruise Paid For
Mr.. Bright testified that he
did not know that an AGVAs
organized hotel in Miami had
paid for his 81 900 cruise in the
Caribbean. He also denied any
impropriet1 in his tardy. pay
ment Of bills at the Concord
Hotel in New York's Borsht
circuit.
The Taft-Hartley Act forbids
payments by employers to Of
ficials Of unions representing
their employees. The Concord
said Mr.. Bright still owes S.
O39 on a bill of $13,062, but
he insisted that he owes the re-
sort hotel nothing.
Mr.. Bright agreed to take q
lie detector test on another is
sue, his denial Of receiving a
$4,000 bride from an AGVA en-
ploye for a transfer Of assign
ment from Washington, D. C..
to Florida.

Pan AM-TWA
Merger Talk
Is Revived

NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (AP).-
Speculation revived today that
lengthy discussions of a merger
between Pan American World
Always and Trans World Air
lines soon may yield a con-
crete proposal.
Some Wall Street sources
understood directors of the two
companies might approve q
plan for uniting the carriers at
special board meetings late
next week or the week follow
ing.
The TWA board will gather
a week from today for a reg
ular monthly session. The next
regular meeting Of Pan Am:
board is set for January 8.
If complex and formidable
obstacles were overcome, the
result would be a 81 billion
combination of Pan ANS TO-
600 miles Of overseas routes
and TWAS domestic North
Atlantic services.
1t would be larger than the
proposed American Eastern Air
Lines merger, which was rec
commended for rejection or
monopoly grounds last week by
a Civil Aeronautics Board ex-
aminer.
Talks between financially
troubled TWA and Pan Am
have been in progress fol
about a year.
Complaining matters is the
controlling interest in T'WA
held by Howard Hughes, fl
nancier and aviation pioneer
Mr.. Hughes, whose rs per cent
stock interest is tied up in a
voting trust, is locked in a bitter
court fight with TWAS present
management.
Under the merger plan re-
protedly now in highest favor
TWA would issue a huge block
of stock-more than twice the
size of Mr.. Hughes holding
to Pan Am in return for Pan
AIMS equipment. principal prop
critics and routes.
This would make TWA the
operating company for the COM
bined carriers, subject TO policy
direction by Pan Am, which
in effect would become a hold
ing company.
