...imagine who would want to kill him. Walter Reuther wasn't quite sure either: "The same people who paid to have me shot paid to have my brother shot and for the same reason. They could be diehard elements among employers, or they could be Communist or fascist agents." Michigan Senators Arthur Vandenberg and Homer Ferguson guessed that it was the Communists (the party hotly denied it), got the U.S. Senate to call for FBI investigation. Others guessed that it might be the work of some crackpot, either anti-union or a U.A.W. man soured by bitter fights within...
