WASHINGTON (AP)-Senate rackets investigators said today their probe already is reaching into certain management practices as well as labor union operations.
Robert Kennedy, chief counsel of the committee searching for evidence of racketeering in labor and industry, said later hearings on alleged payment of more than $20,000 in Teamsters Union funds to Nathan W. Shefferman, a Chicago management consultant,
"will lead into certain companies." He did not name the companies.
The first three weeks of the committee's hearings have dealt with an alleged plot by Teamsters officials to "muscle in" on vice profits in Portland, Ore. The hearings resume tomorrow with more testimony from Frank W. Brewster, West Coast Teamsters boss.
Meantime, a federal grand jury was expected to finish today its consideration of bribery charges against James R. Hoffa, reputed to be the real power in the giant Teamsters Union. Whatever action the grand jury decides to take may not be known for several days.
