...although not a member of the committee, was unwilling to let it go at that. His reluctance set off a shouting match. Williams said he had offered Committee Counsel Lennox McLendon, a back-home crony of Committee Chairman Everett Jordan's, Democrat of North Carolina, a "rather complete file" on various McCloskey contracts. McLendon, he said, had brushed the offer aside, saying he wasn't interested. Roared McLendon: "Senator, you're absolutely and unalterably untrue in your statement . . .

The leaders of the Textile Workers Union of America, the Building Services Union and the Communications Workers of America have been forced to fight unaccustomed challenges, and the President of the United Rubber Workers was recently rebuffed by his rank and file when he attempted to raise dues. For the first time since he founded the International Union of Electrical Workers in 1949, moody, mercurial James Carey is being strongly challenged for the presidency.
