Former Kansas governor Payne Ratner testified to the Senate Rackets Committee about Teamsters campaign contributions to Gov. George Docking and former Gov. Fred Hall. He described a secret $15,000 agreement with Wichita taxi operators to settle a drivers’ strike and noted Teamsters payments totaling $3,000 to Hall and $3,500 to Docking in 1956. Ratner said the funds supported campaigns and that opposition to right to work laws explains the donations. He could not recall delivering Hall’s 1954 gubernatorial campaign contribution and said he knew of no Teamster money to Kansas judicial or congressional races.
