The title page reads “Investigation of Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce. Hearings before a Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, United States Senate”, and this volume is Part 19, headed “Pennsylvania”. The dates printed on the title page are June 28, August 7, 1951. The volume belongs to the 82d Congress, 1st session. It is part of the printed record of the committee created by Senate Resolution 202 (81st Congress), the Kefauver Committee, and prints sworn testimony, a contents list of witnesses with page numbers, and a schedule of exhibits. The Internet Archive scan has 228 page images.
The session datelines place the hearings in Washington. The session lines print these rooms and buildings:
- Room 318 and room 457, Senate Office Building
The contents page lists, among the witnesses, Minker, Abraham; Minker, Isadore; Fudeman, Alex; Baldassari, Joseph C.; Scalleat, Joseph; Size, Patrick Joseph; Sesso, Thomas; O’Malley, Carlon M.; Matchette, Rev. James D.; Harris, George T.. The names follow the contents page; spelling was corrected only where the OCR was plainly wrong. A list of witnesses is not a list of findings: the volume prints questions and answers, and this archive does not summarize them.
The witnesses came from Reading, Scranton, Hazleton (printed “Hazelton”) and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Several were later the subject of contempt reports (Senate Reports 564 to 566 and 777 to 780).
The archive.org copy is a Boston Public Library scan of the Government Printing Office print, and the Internet Archive marks it not in copyright. The room lines and datelines above were read from the archive’s OCR text of the scan.
