Former AFL UAW official testifies on Milwaukee building sale
A former AFL UAW board member, Morris Weintraub, testified before the Senate Rackets Committee that the union sold its Milwaukee headquarters in 1955 for 80 000 then resold for 115 000 to Badger Realty Co. He said the board was not consulted and questioned the profit while noting the sale involved Anthony Doria and others. Weitraub named Badger Realty owners Spiras W. Kallas and Victoria M. Kallas and said Doria may have held a stake. Dio invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly amid questions about payments and ties to Hoffa.
