searching for a "different" shot. Register-Guard

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.

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'

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,

"That's It," he said. "No non

EWEB Chief
Challenges
BPA 'Deficit'
Intertie Argument
Disputed by Price
By DAN SELLARD
Or the RefUter-Guard
The argument that the Bonne
ville Power Administration
needs the proposed California
intertie to erase a deficit and to
stall off an increase in customer
rates was disputed Saturday by
Byron Price, superintendent of
the Eugene Water It Electric
Board.
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.

Justice." 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.
