Senate Hearing
Delves Into Union
‘Special Fund’
WASHINGTON, (A -- Senate
investigators developed yesterday
that the Western Conference of
Teamsters put about $100,000 into
a mysterious “special” account,
and said Frank Brewster drew
$4,000 from it to make a 1951
payment on a home at Palm
Springs, Calif.
Brewster, heavily perspiring on
the witness stand, told the Senate
Rackets Investigating Committee
he couldn’t say how the money
going into the “special account”
was spent.
But Brewster denied the money
was used to pay his personal ex
penses.
He said it was spent by Claude
O’Reilly, a teamster official, for
state, county and city political
contributions in Seattle and the
state of Washington.
The Western Conference of
Teamsters, headed by Brewster,
put the money in a “special ac
count” in Local 174 of the union
in Seattle in the 1950-54 period.
The story of this special ac
count and Brewster’s purchase of
the Palm Springs home came atop
introduction of documentary evi
dence which the investigators said
showed union funds had been
used to pay some expenses of
Brewster’s race horse stable.
It listed repairs to horse vans
and" expenses of a jockey, trainer,
and a union organizer, who also
exercised Brewster’s horses, as
paid from union money.
As detailed by Robert Kenne
dy, the committee counsel, a total
of $99,999.65 was transferred from
Western Conference of Teamsters
accounts to Local 174’s “special
account.”
Brewster said he couldn’t ex
plain what it went for, other than
that O’Reilly must have used the
money for political contributions.
Brewster said O’Reilly is now
dead. He said until mid-1953 the
teamsters made their political
contributions in cash, so there
would be no records to support
expenditures from the “special
account.”
Kennedy said the “special ac
! count was a matter of a Seattle
I bank cashing checks and issuing
j cashier checks in the same
j amounts to Brewster and O’Reilly.
