Hotta Aid Collapses in Capital
Robert Baker aide to top Teamster officials was rushed to a hospital minutes before testifying again to the Senate rackets committee. Star witness James R. Hotta confirmed Baker’s critical condition after a heart attack in a hotel room. Witnesses proceeded with the hearing as Baker’s fate was uncertain. Baker, long tied to a Des Moines meeting about $200 bills, had sworn he never took $1,000 for labor peace for a Pennsylvania firm. George Callahan testified he gave Baker $1,125 to buy influence and another $1,000 in $200 bills to Baker’s assistant.
