Year
The McClellan Committee — twisted in its final
weeks by two Republican members into a platform for
political warfare on the UAW — has ended nearly
three years of work on a dismal note following what
one observer called “the flop of the year.”
The “flop” was, the much-heralded GOP “investigation”

result was
jointly by Republican
a travesty engi-
Senators Carl Curtis of
Nebraska and Karl Mundt of South Dakota, both
long-time enemies of unions and both desperately running for re-election in 1960.
The “investigation” was conducted not by the
committee staff but by Curtis with the help of onc
Robert Manuel, described as ‘minority counsel.’
The hearings climaxed a months-long period during which both Curtis and Mundt had hinted darkly
of the seriousness of the charges they were going to file
against the union. The material they had gathered was
so perishable they refused to divulge its contents to the
regular committee staff, the Democratic members of
the group or even the committee chairman, John McClellan of Arkansas.
When finally exposed by force of public opinion

Reuther that all hearings be held in the open before the

Exhibits the Record

uur. cutscene
At this juncture, the UAW pointed out that the
charges, promoted by union dissidents’in the Toledo
area, had been fully investigated nearly 10 years ago
by the International Executive Board and found to be
without merit.
sworn testimony was exhibited in
Moréover,
which Paul Block, publisher of the Toledo Blade, at
the time under a full head of editorial steam in opposition to pensions for UAW members in Toledo, admitted paying a lawyer who represented in court one
of those making charges against the union.
(Ironically, the only new material uncovered in
the hearing showed the charges against Gosser and
others in the UAW were actually drawn up by the
lawyer for the Toledo paper.)
Finally, it was pointed out that the regular committee staff, headed by Chief Counsel Robert Kennedy, had conducted a full-scale investigation of the
same matters more than a year and a half ago and the
@
l
Uni
Cc
committee at the time decided there was no basis for
hearings.
The other area of inquiry — which had also been
fully explained in the past — involved the UAW
“flower”
or
“caucus”
funds.
More
than
a year
ago,
Reuther had explained to the committee that the funds
were merely campaign funds, raised voluntarily by
backers of candidates for union
similar to political campaign
a
office and thus were
funds collected for
those running for public office.
Reuther had also pointed out that those who seck
office in the UAW do not use union funds but rather
their own and those of their supporters in their political campaigning.

Sorties
Prove
Fruitless
Despite the clear record and the sworn testimony
of Reuther and others, the Republicans insisted on
explaring the subject. The GOP foray into this area,
as in others, proved fruitless for their purpose which
was, as editorial cartoonist Herblock of the Washington Post and Times Herald pointed out, to try to
“find a Democratic racketeer.”
Perhaps the only thing the two GOP senators
did find out — and this they knew before they started
the hearings — was that the UAW was, as one paper
put it — “clean, honest, militant and democratic.”

charged, “It has already been brought out in the
hearings to date that Manuel admittedly made no
effort to cross-check allegations against the UAW
by witnesses hostile to the union, in spite of the fact
that in most cases documentary evidence exists, and
has existed for years, which completely refutes the
charges of witnesses testifying under oath.”

A good part of the testimony had to do with the
UAW‘s pension drive in Toledo in 1949 and 1950.
Charges made then had been investigated at the
time and found to be without merit. What really
transpired, the record shows, is that a group of Toledo industrialists and merchants conspired to try
to block the UAW’s pension campaign with a front
called the “Committee to Save Toledo Payrolls.”
“\n fact, if the staff of this committee had been
utilized in the regular way it is quite likely that at
least the major portion of this series of hearings
dealing with the Toledo area would not have been
taken up, since the regular staff had fully investigated this 10-year-old situation more than one year
-
ago and submitted a report which led the committee
then to a decision that hearings would serve no useful purpose.”

the UAW by Senators Curtis and Mundt, issued a stinging denunciation of the hearings and the manner in
which they were conducted.
In perhaps the sharpest exchanges of the hearings,
Kennedy attacked the procedures being followed and
the shoddy way in which the preliminary “investigation”
was conducted. The first such clash occurred in the
morning session of September 8 between Kennedy and
Senator Curtis: f.

Later that same day, during the afternoon session,
Kennedy again attacked the hearings. In this exchange
with Curtis, Kennedy pointed out that the ‘charges’ on
which the hearings were based were fraudulent and that

“SENATOR CURTIS: Just a minute.
“MR. KENNEDY. The attorneys admit that the
charges made against Mr. Richard Gosser regarding
financial irregularities were a fraud. There was nothing to support them.
“SENATOR CURTIS: Now, in reference to Mr.
Kennedy’s testimony, | wonder if the report of the two
investigators that went out there does contain the
statement that the attorneys said that the charges
were false and fraudulent.
“MR. KENNEDY: Mr. Tierney (an inyestigator
for the committee) can testify to that.
“It is written in my report, and Mr. Tierney can
testify also, and we can call him right away, and this
was reported to you, Senator, at a meeting at the time
that the attorney made the statement that there
was nothing to any of these charges, and that they
were using these people in order to try to defeat the
pension plan in Toledo.
"They admitted in 1951 this was the reason.
That is why this whole hearing is such a fraud.”
