Teamster Denies He Hired Goons Before Senate Panel
Washington UPI Harold J. Gibbons vice president of the Teamsters testified to the Senate Rackets Committee that volunteers recruited to block a power grab in the taxi local were peace makers and not a goon squad. He claimed his aim was to persuade employers and avoid violence, insisting he did not know the volunteers had arrest records. Senator Ives urged him to be a peace missioner, while Gibbons warned such closeness to business chiefs could invite accusations of sweetheart contracts.
