Union Fund Use Rapped By Probers
Senate investigators questioned two top United Textile Workers officers about how union funds were used. UTW President Anthony Valente and Secretary-Treasurer Lloyd Klewert described borrowing and a home purchase funded by union money. They claimed the $57,000 down payment concealed available funds for organizing and that the loans were repaid with interest. Kennedy pressed why so much was borrowed if only $57,000 was needed.
