Teamsters Seat
Challenged Men
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., (A>)_The
Teamsterg convention under firm
command of James R. Hof fa yester
day seated the bulk of local union
delegates challenged by the Senate
Rackets Committee as improperly
selected.
The convention okeyed creden
tials of the delegates from about
two-thirds of the locals cited by
Rackets Committee Chairman Mc
Clellan (D-Ark.) as having prob
ably violated union rules in naming
their representatives.
The action came as Hoffa cleared
the decks for showdown voting,
expected tomorrow for new union
officers and control of the giant,
scandal scarred union.
Hoffa continued to be the lead
ing contender to succeed Dave
Beck as union president, but faced
three opponents who were seeking
to combine forces. For the first
time the anti-Hoffa group began
proposing cleanup moves on the
convention floor as demanded by
the AFL-CIO.
Beck and his heir apparent,
Hoffa, as well as a number of other
Teamsters’ bosses, have been
charged with corruption in handl
ing union funds and bossism over
the 11-’-million member union.
About a score of delegates were
definitely thrown out, including
those from five New York “paper”
locals charged by the McClellan
committee' as being phony union
units.
Among those thus ousted were
such henchmen of New York labor
racketeer Johnny Dio as Harry
Davidoff, Joseph Curcio, Harry
Reiff and George Snyder. All had
taken the Fifth Amendment in re
fusing to answer questions by Sen
ate rackets probers, who charged
Hoffa was a close crony of Dio’s.
Beck announced some 1,600 of
the nearly 1,950 delegates had
been formally seated.
Hoffa put out a slate of candi
dates he proposed to carry into
union control as vice presidents.
They included five incumbents
plus the following proposed new
vice presidents:
John O’Rourke, New Yoidc; John
B. Backhus, Philadelphia; Gordon
Conklin, St. Paul; Harold J. Gib
bons, St. Louis; Owen Bert Bren
nan, Detroit; Thomas Flynn, Wash
ington, and George Mock, Los
Angeles.
Included among those Hoffa pro
posed to dump from the union
hierarchy were current Vice Presi
dents William A. Lee, Chicago, and
Thomas L. Hickey, New York.

MOST POPULAR GAME that ever went to col
lege—that’s Sticklers! Just write a simple riddle
and a two-word rhyming answer. For example:
What’s a big cat shot full of holes? (Answer:
peppered leopard.) Both words must have the
same number of syllables—bleak freak, fluent
truant, vinery finery. Send Sticklers, with your
name, address, college and class to Happy-Joe-
Lucky, Box 67A, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Don’t do
drawings! We’ll pay $25 for every Stickler we
use in our ads—and for hundreds that never see
print. While you’re Stickling, light up a light
