Alleged efforts by a Teamster Union official to push singer Tommy Leonetti’s record into Chicago area jukeboxes without the singer’s knowledge were reported today to the Senate Rackets Committee.

Kennedy said Leonetti, interviewed by the committee, said he was managed for a time by a man with underworld connections of which Leonetti was unaware.
