'Welfare' By VICTOR RIESEL RIGHT out of the mouths of babies came some of the millions in profits made by Jim Hoffa's buddies in something they whimsically called "Operation Chicago." This operation" referred A i' 1. to an insurance brokerage firm 1 known as the Union Insurance Agency of Illinoiswhich is 1V V. 7 still around in the boys' own fashion, bringing the group a 0 Sqe1 clear $500,000 a year despite all the exposures. This "op- eration," launched by Hoffa's I ex-prize fighting buddy, Paul Dorfman, dedicated itself to mo'' placing insurance against the Riesel high cost of childbirth, ill health, old age and other vagaries which might come into the lives of tens of thousands of Hoffa's own followers in the Michigan Conference of Teamsters.

In April of '52, Hoffa's buddies thought they Just weren't earning enough in return for their devotion to the welfare of the truck drivers. So they increased the cost of the Teamsters' insurance, raised their own commissions andcut the benefits to Holfa's followers. With his permission. Before the slash, the policies gave a Teamster $75 to pay an obstetrics bill. Apparently the boys decided the baby -could be delivered by a $50 doctor just as well.

So the allowance for the obstetrician was cut to $50. Then two months later the insurance company Hoffa had personally selected cut the surgical benefits for Teamster dependents from $300 to $200. At the same time the insurance brokerage company, smirkingly known as "Operation Chicago" to the elite, raised its commissions from 2 to 4 per cent and added special service charges to the life insurance policies covering tens of thousands of Teamsters. These were charges by the broker for handling the insurance. To cover this, the trucking companies simply had to get up a quarter a month more per truck driver.

In the end, the Dorfman brokerage made millions. To get at the bottom of this story, McClellan committee counselor Bob Kennedy reports he had to run the toughest, most intricate probe of the past two years' investigations. Kennedy discovered that Hoffa did go through the motions of asking publicly for bids from other firms. Investigation disclosed that the lowest bid came from the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. This bid was thrown out.

A Pacific Mtktual vice president told the committee probers that he was given "a minute or two" to discuss his bid. The vice president asked Jim Holla whether he "regarded himself as both judge and jury with respect to that situation." The response was "Yes." It would take a national convention of the Association of Certified Public Accountants to trace the millions made out of "Operation Chicago." There are such figures as $340,000 for "travel, entertainment and sales expense." This Is considered a minimum figure. There is a bagatelle of $332,427 drawn in cash for whichi there is no record disclosing where the monel went. There are overcharges of $600,000 by the favored "servicing" outfit on Teamster mass Insurance. There is even the phonying of Invoices by a furniture company which delivered home furnishings and billed one of Dorfman's brokerages for office equipment.

That came to over $7000.. They then made a couple of 'was dollars by marking off depreciation on the phantom office desks. Never kick a buck In the face. In summing up some of this, Kennedy asked Dorfman if he ever passed on money to Hoffa or paid money out for the Teamsters' chief. Dorfman proved that silence was golden.

He took the fifth. Thus is the working class protected against a cruel world. the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and there's a very good reason for all the bustle. They're pushing the sale of tickets for their Golden Gloves championships which will be fought Feb. 25 and 26 -t) r- at Kiel Auditorium.
