Continue Probe Os Uniform Rackets Big Bond Deals Os Abrams Are Probed WASHINGTON (INS)—Senators investigating garment industry “payoffs” to army uniform buyers dug further today into the big bond deals of “blacklisted" manufacturer Joseph Abrams. Two associates of the Great Neck, L.1., real estate man were summoned for questioning qp why they were among 27 people for whom he bought government bonds while making military uniforms in 1950-53. Scheduled to testify were Jack Schwartz, former partner of Abrams in the Beekman Clothes Co., of New York, and Attilio Musto, who used to be in the garment business with Abrams’ father, Manuel. Chief counsel Robert F. Kennedy of the senate investigations subcommittee identified the witnesses for newsmen and said they would be asked about bonds purchased in their names by Abrams. Chairman John L McClellan (D Ark.), said Tuesday the group is checking on whether Abrams used names other than his own in bond transactions to provide "payoffs’’ to federal procurement officers or to dodge income taxes. Abrams' bond transactions—totaling |9 million ip federal, state and municipal securities bought and sold under Abrams’ own and 27 other names in 1950-53 — were reported by his New York broker, Gregory Harrington.'
