Associated Press: La Verne Duffy, a committee aide involved in major U.S. Senate investigations from the 1950s through the 1970s, died of an apparent heart attack Monday in Independence. Duffy, 67, joined the staff of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations while attending Georgetown University in the early 1950s, and worked there as an assistant counsel until his retirement in 1981.
He played a principal role in a 1957-59 labor-racketeering investigation, headed by Robert Kennedy, that brought down Teamsters union President Jimmy Hoffa.
Duffy did much of the groundwork in a landmark investigation on organized crime in the early 1960s. The "Valachi Hearings" led to the govern ment's treating organized crime as a nationwide issue for the first time.
He also was active in the subcommittee's investigation of military fraud in Southeast Asia between 1969 and 1971. And he took part in a probe of the U.S. government's role in the energy shortages of the 1970s.
Duffy was raised in Iowa and attended Marquette University. He served in the Marine Corps during World War II and was wounded in action in the Pacific.
His family includes a brother, Clifford, and two sisters, Bernice Jamason and Agnes Fiester, all of Independence, and another sister, Evelyn Wilkinson of Cedar Rapids. Services will be today at 11 a.m. in St. John's Catholic Church in Independence.
