Senate investigators cited Lleyd Klenert secretary treasurer of the United Textile Workers Union for charging twenty four My Fair Lady tickets and 11411 in Broadway tickets to union funds. The probe follows accusations by the Rackets Committee that Klenert spent 101,963 in union money for personal expenses including 13331 in hotel rooms and 3600 in airfare.

Calabrese testified Klenert charged 14107 in COD packages to union bills including a corkscrew and a color TV set.
