WASHINGTON (P) - Senate

investigators were told yesterday
a Pittsburgh newspaper paid a
Teamsters union official more
than $100,000 over nine years to
avoid labor troubles, and footed
the bill for a telephone he alleg-
edly used in a numbers racket.
William J. Poch, business man-
ager of the Pittsburgh Sun-Tele-
graph, testified that Theodore
Cozza did "little work for us," but
that he was put on the payroll
as a driver supervisor "for fear
of disturbing the labor relations
of the company." Cozza was fired
about a month ago, he said.
Poch, under questioning before
the Senate Rackets Committee,
acknowledged that the newspaper
paid $1,022 for 700-800 calls a
month in connection with a num-
bers racket committee counsel
Robert F. Kennedy said Cozza

EN ROUTE-Eight United States Governors stop off to see the sights in Paris, including of course
the Eiffel Tower. They will continue on to Moscow. The eight are (left to right) Robert H. Smylie,
Idaho; William G. Stratton, Ill.; Robert B. Meyner, N. J.;'George D. Clyde, Utah; Stephen L. R.

MUST HOLD TEN POSITIONS:

conducted from his office in the
paper. No period was mentioned.
The business manager said the
paper objected.
Cozza Called
Cozza, president of Teamsters
Local 211 in Pittsburgh, was
called to the witness stand, but
he refused to give the committee
any information. He invoked the
fifth amendment, contending his
answers to questions might tend
to incriminate him.
The testimony about the Sun-
Telegraph situation opened a new
round of rackets committee hear-
ings on the Teamsters union,, a
chief target of corruption charges
since the Senate investigation be-
gan 2% years ago.
The committee says conditions
in the union have worsened,
rather than improved. Chairman
John L .McClellan (D-Ark.) yes-
terday challended Tamsters Pres-
ident James R. Hoffa to say
whether "any effort at all" has
been made to drive out thugs
who McClellan saiti hold impor-
tant' posts in 'the union.: Hoff a is
on call to testify .today.
Aide Testifies
In other developments yester-
day, a committee aide testified,
that union records show Sam
Goldstein, president of Teamsters
Local 239 in New York, has been
receiving $400 weekly as salary
and expenses while in jail on an
extortion charge.
The committee was told that
since 1956 Local 239 has paid
legal fees totaling $70,000, with
at least half of .this going for
Goldstein's defense.,
Testimony also was- developed
that- Joseph De Grandis, presi-
dent of New York Teamsters
Local 266, is getting $1,000 a
month in salary while the vend-
ing machine workers local only,
takes in $500 a month in dues.
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-
Mass.) said it was quite obvious
that De Grandis, listed as having
a 20-year criminal record, is "re-
ceiving the balance from employ-
ers."
Both Goldstein and De Grandis
refused to discuss the testimony,


pleading the fifth amendlnen

arrangement with Cozza
made after the Teamsters
struck for seven weeks against
Sun-Telegraph in 1951. The
up was written into a labor c
tract and the payments were k
up until Cozza was fired in l
for threatening an efficiency
pert, Poch added.

Confi

Culture

The ten faces of a city council-
man were outlined yesterday be-
fore the opening session of the
one-day Institute for Mayors and
Councilmen at the University.
Prof. Arthur W. Bromage of
the political science department
opened the Institute, sponsored by
the University's Institute of Pub-
lic Administration, the University
Extension Service and the Michi-
gan Municipal League. About 60
representatives from various gov-
ernmental units in Michigan at-
tended the conference.
In outlining the roles of the
councilman, Prof. Bromage said
the key one is being a legislator.
"Whether it be the regulation of
property by zoning or of the indi-
vidual by ordinance, the council-
man must make the law. Common
sense is reqtiired in making a
value judgment as to what the
community needs and when it iP
reauy to accept new laws."
Recent studies indicate that

mayors and councilmen may not
currently be taking the initiative
in forming ordinances. "This
doesn't bother me," the professor
explained. "Political matters may
be brought forward by interested
groups."
But the councilman has to
formulate the final ordinance so
the general public accepts it, hew
continued.
Prof. Bromage said other roles
of the councilman include:
1) Financier. "Although in most
municipal governments, the bud-
get officer prepares the budget,
the councilman makes final judg-
ments. He has to decide, for ex-
ample, whether to go ahead on
bond issues.
The councilman should be able
to see the future of his commu-
nity. In some cases, he will be
'ahead' of the people, because he
often is closer to the problems
and needs of the community.

"He cannot jeopardize the lives
and welfare of the people by thin-
ning out or failing to expand fire,
police forces, and so forth when
needed. He must tell the people
that municipal government is a
bargain - and we don't need to
apologize for the cost - when
compared with the price of ram-
pant crime, death by fire, spread
of disease and juvenile delin-
quency."
2) Employer. "The councilman
is responsible for all employees of
a city. He must see that they are
adequately paid, provided with de-
cent working conditions and
fringe benefits." If the council-
man doesn't do this, Prof. Brom-
age declared, complaints will pour
in and the necessary government-
al functions will not be performed
well.
3) Constructive Critic. "Admin-
istrators aren't perfect - they
can get in a bureaucratic rut."

When this happens it is up to the
councilman to bring complaints to
high administrative officers who
can work out the problem with
him, Prof. Bromage said.
4) Buyer. "The councilman, who
is probably one of the biggest buy-
ers in our society, is dependent
upon the administration in this
function. Requests for equipment,
for example, must be in such a
form that the councilman can see
that the city gets the 'best deal'
possible."
5) Administrator. "The council-
mar.; is not always a policy maker,
but sometimes has to take care
of certain tasks suck as the is-
suance of licenses."
6) Inter-governmental policy
expert. The councilman has to de-
cide, for example, whether to sell
water services 0 fringe areas. He
also is asked to appear before
state governing bodies to repre-
sent his city's viewpoint and to

determine the relation of the city
to the federal government. "More
and more of these inter-govern-
mental relationships are going to
take place in the future," Prof.
Bromage noted.
7) Public relations man. "Don't
wait until aproblem arises and
then douse the fire with water,"
the professor advised. "Have a
positive program and try to fore-
see problems before they reach
the critical stage.'
- 8) Fundamental law man. "It's
the councilman's business to rec-
ommend charter amendments if
th old charter creates a serious
pr blem and binds the city's
piogress."
The final role of the council-
man, Prof. Bromage said, includes
all of his other duties, such as at-
tending ceremonial functions,
making speeches, reading and
studying bills.

third of four performances, t
