McNamara Resigns as Rackets Probe Hits Snag
Senator John McNamara of Michigan quits the Senate Rackets Committee amid protests over its Kohler strike inquiry. The panel, already dogged by accusations of anti labor bias, faced a violent strike era shooting at the Perfect Circle Corp plant in Indiana. Witnesses blamed both sides as investigators urged stricter labor violence laws while McNamara departed with critics contending the probe was farcical. In nearby Anderson, Elmer Kutsler died in a shooting linked to a 1955 strike. A poolroom operator, Robert Hamilton, was sought after a deadly drive by incident in another city. The case prompted officials to pursue the broader violence questions tied to UAW demonstrations and plant security.
