He said it marked the completion of "this phase" of an investigation which covered 16 days of public hearings. Frank W. Brewster, chairman of the Western Conference of Teamsters, was on the witness stand the last five days. He was the last witness. Brewster testified his handling of union funds was not good. Denies Muscle-in Knowledge But he denied vigorously and repeatedly that he had any knowl edge of, or any part in, an al leged attempt by some Teamsters officials to muscle in on rack ets profits in Portland, Ore. The committee plans as its next move to question Dave Beck. globe trotting international presi dent of the Teamsters Union, in a showdown public hearing Tues day. Friday, along with testimony from Brewster, the senators heard a staff investigator testify he found nothing in the union's rec ords to reflect loans to Beck until 1054 when he said the Internal Revenue Service began Investi gating Beck's affairs. , Carmine Bcllino, a staff account ant for the committee, gave the testimony to the senators. ' $250,000 Zoom Bellino said reports to the gov ernment, by the Seattle Teamsters' Joint Council's building associa tion showed accounts receivable at the end of 1953 as $7,422.8!) but the next annual statement showed accounts receivable of $257,422.89. Bellino said this was the first notation he could find in Team. sters organization accounts fleeting anything about loans to Beck. Bellino said Internal Revenue started investigating Beck's af fairs in January 1954 and inter viewed him in March that year. The staff accountant said the union building association's cash receipts book ' then reflected a $200,000 repayment from Beck in August. 1954 and a later $50,000 payment. Bellino testified after Brewster testified he had no knowledge of any loans by the Western Confer ence to Beck. Would Oppose Beck And, he said, "I would disap prove" if Beck borrowed several thousand dollars of union funds without interest or security. Beck has said publicly that he did borrow but has since repaid $300,000 to $400,000 o( union mon ey without paying interest or of fering security. Brewster said he regularly paid interest and provided security for his own loans from the union. He said he saw nothing wrong in union officials borrowing from union funds if interest was paid and security provided. "How long." asked McClellan. "has this practice of officials bor rowing money from union dues money been going on? "I guess it's been going on for some time. Brewster said, Asked if he thought It was wrong Brewster said no, not If interest was paid and security provided. as he said was done in his case.
