lpecisi to Tbs Wuhinston Postfrom The we Anseies TimesLOS ANGELEQ - Give Teamstersboss James .1-i-offa a $200 mlllion'piggy b h - and all
sorts oi strange things can happen. '
Such a piggy bank" is the huge pen-.sion fund for Teamsters in the Central,'
Southeastern and Southwestern States.unto its Chicago headquarters poursoney from employers at the rate oi
about $3 million a month.-
Eight employer trustees and eight
union trustees, one oi them Hoffa, mustput the money to work. By latest count
in the Los Angeies Timess year-longinvestigation, about $45 million oi it
has been invested in the West. _
Whats so strange about that! Noth-ills. Not Hard to Jimm
~! _
Eanibllng Center lnvesiiiientaABOUT HALF OF THE $45 mil-
lion invested in the West has
gone into the Nevada gambling centers
of Lao Vegas and Reno. Las
alone has received nearly $19 million.
To be sure, the loans are secured by
trust deeds and mortgages on real or
personal property. in Nevada, that is
ample security only so' iohg as the
glittering bubble oi legalized gambling
doesn't burst.Consider what happend with one of ,the latest irivegments -- $2.75 million
in Reno's oldr iverside Hotel.
Bciure air transportation became
commonplace, Reno's gambling and
divorce business was fed by rail or
auto and truly made it the biggest
little city in the world."ing - ii that were all there was to it.
But a close look at some of the ven-
tures tinanced, some oi the borrpwersand some ot the intermediaries whoNow, already hurt by the competition
from Lss Vegas in the warmer south,
Reno is being stung even more by the

A Different Pattern '
NOTHING THAT DRASTIC has_ happened in Las Vegas, where the
pattern is a little different. Business
is booming both downtown and along
the strip. Nearly every hotel is putting
up an addition.

Dalitz was identified i Kefauver
Crime Committee testimony as the
Cleveland gambling kingpin and crime
syndicate representative in his pre-
Las Vegas days. But there is ,an even
more interesting story in the pages of
McClellan Rackets Committee reports.
In 1949, Dalitz owned a Detroit laun-
dry. Fellow laundry owners threatened
with a strike went to him for help,
witnesses testified.
He put them in touch with alleged
Hoffa representatives who accepted a
$l'7,000 payoff, according to testimony,
and Hoffa personally called off the
strike.
