Salem, Oregon, Saturday, April 6, 195? "T Page 2 Section 3 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Beck Ignored John English, What an Error No. 2 Teamster Showed Courage, Balked At Proposals By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON W Everybody makes mistakes, but one of Dave Beck's worst was ignoring John F. English, a top fellow officer of the giant Teamsters union. English is a 67-year-old Irish man who as a teen-age boy went to work guiding a horse-drawn dumpcart through the elegant Beacon Hill section of Boston As general secretary-treasurer of the Teamsters, bngiish began drawing the reins on Beck's tangled handling of union funds long before the Senate Rack ets Investigating Committee be came interested in the Teamsters president. ' Beck Fails to Heed Beck never paid too much at' (ention to English, his No. 2 man in the Teamsters. He dealt with English's subordinates on money matters. But back in 1955 English balked at the union s buying Beck s be attle home for $160,000 and letting Beck continue to use it rent-free. That didn't seem too sensible to English, a conservative and careful man. He gave in on the home purchase only after the un ion s entire executive hoard put an okay in writing. A year later, English wouldn't pay out some $50,000 for the un ion to buy Beck's home furnish ings even with board approv al. And he recently queered Beck's plan for a million-dollar, union-paid publicity program in Beck's behalf. It Took Courage That followed Beck's statement and refusal to testify that he used come $300,000 to $400,000 In union funds from other echelons of the union than the national level over which English guards the purseslrings. Saying "no" to Beck took a bit of courage. What type of man Is this cour ageous Teamster? He shuns publicity. Practically every newsman in town wants to . interview English, but his "no" to them, through aides, is as firm as his replies to Beck. The one thing English wants known at the moment is that he Is not, repeat not, volunteering in formation about the Teamsters to the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee. Yes, he has seen the commit tee's counsel, Robert Kennedy, a few times. Yes, he has answered Kennedy's question and produced records, out in each case aft er Kennedy produced a subpoena lor that document. This plus a few lines of bio graphical material is all Eng lish will put out right now. His brief "background information" discloses he has been a Teamsters Union member for 53 years. Tall and Robust But a few other facts arc known. He is a robust, tall, cigar-smoking individual with a wooden log, al though agile with his cane. He claims to have been known at one time as "Boston Johnny the Friend of the Working Girl." This no romantic note he once helped some women in a Boston candy plant get a pay raise. Beck has never fooled him. He was a friend of old Dan Tnbin, the late Teamsters president, whom Beck hustled out of office. When Tohin was around, English was a traveling auditor and or ganizer, who reported things to lotin. One of those things was Beck's power buildup wilh the union's West Coast units. Tobin, like Eng lish, believed in a decentralized union. Together they worked against what Reck was driving for centralized power. 'Real' Opposite Few people could be more op posite than Reck and Knclifh Where Beck blusters and talks in millions. English is the old polili cian type who works the alleys and byways, shaking hands and making friends. Is English shooting for Beck' job?. The answer is no. Enclish has annuities salted away. He is not the ambitious type. Enclish is a satisfied man with his $50,000 annual union salary- the same as Recks. He can't un dersland nil the commotion about making another dollar when he al ready has ono in his pocket But it's understood that if no one else does, English will oppose Brck's announced plan to run for anolher five-year term next Sep tember as Teamsters president. Certainly any serious Reck op ponent will have to clear with John English. 1 L Z4JJ EE I tz reg. j 13.50-522.50 famous brand full figure foundations FAMOUS HAND) XM1I UNfflll I " mWi!m pJgO reg.
