The weekend's snow and freezing conditions produced many possibilities for photographers searching for a "different" shot. Register-Guard photographer Mirko J. Pitner found these two scenes in downtown Eugene. On the left the Rowan Draws Snub At Memphis Airport MEMPHIS, Tenn. m Carl T. Rowan, Negro assistant secre tary of state, was refused serv ice and ordered to leave the restaurant at Memphis Munici pal Airport Saturday. Rowan said he flew to Mem phis from Little Rock with three white companions in a small private plane to make connec tions with a commercial airline. "When we got to the Memphis airport, they suggested we go in and have coffee, to keep the pi lot awake," Rowan said. "I don't drink coffee. I didn't want serv ice." Rowan said a waitress told him he could not be served and asked him to leave. Rowan said later he would file an official protest with the Justice Depart ment Monday. Acting Police Chief W. W. Wilkinson said the waitress told Rowan he would have to go to the International Room of the airport which serves Negroes. Rowan, assistant secretary of state for public affairs, had been In Little Rock Friday night to address a meeting of the Ar kansas Council of Human Rela tions. , The Interstate Commerce Commission last fall broadened existing court and ICC rulings banning segregated seating on trains and buses and prohibiting interstate carriers in some cascv from using segregated termin als. However, it does not have jurisdiction over air travel. The Justice Department has suits pending to desegregate airport facilities at New Orleans and Montgomery, Ala. Rowan said the waitress called the assistant manager and the police. Rowan's name also figured in a dispute involving one of Wash ington's most exclusive clubs earlier this month. When it be came known the Cosmos Club, an organization of men promin ent in the arts, sciences and pub lic service, had turned down Rowan's membership applica tion a number of members re signed. , The incident touched off a heated debate within the Cos mos membership and the adop tion of a resolution opposing racial discrimination.

Accused of Nonpayment of $240,000 Beck Wins Reversal of Tax Conviction SAN FRANCISCO Wl Dave Beck, predecessor of James R. Hoffa as Teamsters Union boss, won a reversal Saturday of his conviction of evading more than $240,000 in federal income tax es. He had been sentenced to five years in prison and fined $40, 000 then released on bond pending outcome of his appeal. The U.S. Court of Appeals re manded the case to District Court for a new trial but upheld Beck's conviction on charges of filing false tax returns for his union. For that he got five years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Seattle, Beck hailed the reversal and said the court's affirmation on the union's tax return charges would be ap pealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. "I never took a nickel from anyone In my life," Beck asserted. At issue in the reversal was the taxability of embezzled funds as income. The appeals court decision pointed out that Beck's income included "an amazing series C embezzlement." In 1945, the appeals court had decided embezzled funds were not taxable. This was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court May 15, 1961, in the case of Eugene C. James, a Chicago union official. The high court ruled that embezzled money is taxable. But Beck was convicted two years earlier Feb. ID, 1959 so the James ruling could not apply in his case. Saturday, in Washington, D. C, a spokesman for the Justice Department said the appeals court decision reversing Beck's conviction on income tax eva sion charges '"reflects the posi- Goldwater Reveals 1964 'Platform' As Mock Presidential Candidate WASHINGTON UR Sen. Bar- ry Goldwater, R Ariz., became the Alfalfa Club's mock presi dential candidate Saturday night with the observation that the best that could happen to the State Department would be to "abolish the whole thing." Goldwater, a potential real life aspirant for the 1964 Repub lican ticket, accepted the fun club's nomination by outlining in his prepared speech a three- plank platform: "1. Elect Gold water., 2. Elect Goldwater., 3, Ditto." "That's It," he said.

Kennedy, holds a presiden tial lease good through 1964, but the conservative Goldwater said he felt "the White House is ready for me now that Jackie has done it over in 18th Century decor."

Price's challenge was made at a meeting in Eugene of the Legislative Interim Committee on Natural Resources. It fol lowed testimony by Bernard Goldhammer, power manager of BPA. The EWEB superintendent took the stand and predicted that the Bonneville system will start immediately to reverse its deficit curve. He said that the loss pleaded by Bonneville will not be true in a few years and that, therefore, BPA should not use "rate increases" as an argu ment for the intertie. Price also disputed Goldham mer's earlier statement that steam from the Hanford atomic reactor would be "free steam." (A proposal to use the waste steam from the reactor for gen eration of electricity was de feated by the last session of Congress). Price said that the steam from the reactor would be a cheap source of power only as long as the Hanford plant was produc ing a weapon material. In about eight years, he said, the plant would bo obsolete and from that point on, the power source would be more expensive than other conventional sources. Saying that he is not opposed to the Intertie in principal, Price asserted that the need is not as great as pictured and that some BPA arguments art not valid.

The spokesman added, "We will have to study the de cision before determining whether to seek a new trial." The decision, written by Jus tice Stanley N. Barnes, who was chief of the Antitrust Divi sion of the Department of Jus tice from 1953 to 1956, said the jury failed to make clear how much of the evaded taxes was on embezzled funds. "We cannot read the jury's mind," the decision read, "and we conclude it becomes neces sary to reverse the conviction of Beck on the four counts re lating to tax evasion and order a retrial of that issue.
