Teamsters Union Tells Purchase of Home for President Washington (U.R) The AFL Teamsters Union has disclosed that it has bought Union Presi dent Dave Beck's luxurious Se attle home from him for $160. 000 and is footing his household bills while he lives there rent free. The purchase was approved by the union's 12-member Execu tive Board last March but was not made public. In acknowledging the action, Minar O. Mohn, vice president and assistant to Beck, said "it has been the policy of the inter national union for many years to provide a home in which the general president can live, en tertain and transact business of the union." Mohn pointed out that the union bought two homes for its former president, Daniel J. To bin, one at Miami Beach. Fla., and another at Marshfield. Mass., a summer resort near Boston. Tobin. now president emeritus, still occupies both houses. The union bought his lake front home, which sports a large swimming pool, a manmade wa terfal and a motion picture pro jection room, five years ago for an undisclosed price. A union spokesman said the union bought the house from Beck at a price based on an evaluation by a group of certified public appraisers. The purchase was in the name and title of the union, largest in the AFL and one of the rich est in the country. Since he was elected head of the union at a S50.000 a year salary in 1953, Beck has divided his time between Seattle and the union headquarters here. The union recently completed construction of its imposing white marble new headquarters building here at a cost estimated at around 55,000.000. When here, Beck occupies a luxurious office suite, complete with bed, sitting room, pullman kitchen and bath, in the new building. In addition to buying the Se attle home, the union also will pay for all service and mainte nance costs and taxes on it. Mohn said that Beck 'has never requested a home" but that the Executive Board felt "he has all the need that his predecessor had." Film Actress Sues Expose Magazine Hollywood (U.R) Film star Lizabeth Scott charged Confi dential magazine in a S2.500.000 Superior Court suit today with implying she was "prone to inde cent, illegal and highly offen sive acts in her private and pub lic life." The suit was the fourth filed recently by- well-known Holly wood figures against expose type magazines. Actor Robert Mitchum and tobacco heiress Doris Duke also sued Confiden tial and singer Sammy Davis Jr.. sued Hush-Hush magazine. Miss Scott said the picture story published in Confidential's September issue was an attempt to defame her, injure her career and subject her to "public dis credit and ridicule." Ike Said To Feel Reds Trying To Use Zhukov Friendship Washington ;U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower was reported today to feel the Soviet leader ship is trying to use his World War II friendship with Marshal Georgi Zhukov as a bridge for establishing better relations with the United States. This was among the personal impressions the President brought back from the Big Four conference at Geneva and re layed to congressional leaders Monday as a special White House briefing. Khrushchev 'Real Boss' A congressional leader said Mr. Eisenhower also has tagged Nikita Khrushchev, secretary of the Russian Communist Party, as the real boss of the Russian hierarchy even though Nikolai Bulganin holds the job of pre mier. In addition, Mr. Eisenhower told the congressional leaders, one source said, that the Rus sian leaders have indicated they would like to be invited to the United States. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told the con gressmen and senators this should not be done Khrushchev holds the same job in the Communist Party that Stalin held before he accepted official state posts in the Soviet regime. Molotov in Inactive Role Foreign Minister V. M. Molo tov, the old Bolshevik of the So viet Union's triumvirate, was said to have played a fairly in active role when the Big Four delegations were meeting. There have been reports elsewhere that he plans to resign because of age and health. Zhukov, who is now Soviet defense minister, had an ami cable relationship with the Pres ident when he was Gen. Eisen hower and in supreme command of Allied forces in Europe. Russian Hopes Mamie Will Seek Reelection Washington (U.R) Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulbanin told President Eisenhower in Geneva that he hopes Mrs. Eis enhower in Geneva that he hopes Mrs. Eisenhower will run for reelection, it was learned today. The President related the inci dent to congressional leaders at the White House yesterday. One congressman immediatey asked Mr. Eisenhower what his answer was to Bulganin, and the conference was disrupted by iaughter. Whether he will run again is one of Mr. Eisenhower's most guarded political secrets. The President replied that he simply smiled at Bulganin. and that Bulganin smiled back in apparent understanding.

Bartlett Phone 2-2202 There's a Greyhound Agent Near Yoi By MERRIMAN SMITH Uniled Press White House Writer Washington 0J.R) Backstairs at the White House: President Eisenhower natural ly was happy to get home from Europe with a load of toys for his grandchildren. But is doubt ful that he has had an opportu nity to observe one of the latest accomplishments of his 1-year-old grandson, David. David, according to friends who knew the John Eisenhower family well at Ft. Benning, Ga., and more recently at Ft. Leaven worth, Kan., has become quite adept at imitating his grandfa ther. Other kids sometimes stage mock '"press conferences" with David and question him on the pressing events of their day, just as they see Mr. Eisenhower in terrogated on television. His youthful brows furrow gravely and hell strut around the side walk conference attending with mock concern to such vital items as "What do you think of your new teacher" or "Give us your opinion of the Lone Ranger." Much was made, particularly in the European press last week, of protection afforded Mr. Eisen hower as contrasted with the se curity arrangements for his Rus sian counterparts. A number of Europeans, and Americans, too. were critical be cause the President was given much heavier and more obvious protection than Premier Bul ganin. It was pointed out repeat edly that the Russians stole the propaganda hall from the United States by having their principals travel about Geneva in open cars, while Mr. Eisenhower moved in a closed car. This interpretation was far from true. Bulganin and the Communist Party boss. Nikita Khrushchev, rarely moved with out at least six carloads of Rus sian and Swiss security agents around them. There usually were three or four carloads of Amer ican Secret Service agents and Swiss detectives around Mr. Ei senhower. It was a fact that the Russians moved in open cars long enough to get their pictures distributed all over the world, but then they went back to the bullet-proof closed jobs from Moscow with heavy curtains across the rear windows. There also was a widely print ed report that the gate to the President's villa was guarded around the clock by three or more SS agents. Actually, there was rarely more than one Amer ican on the gate, plus a Swiss soldier and a Swiss detective. The Swiss government maintain ed similar and sometimes heavier protective details at the villas of other principals. The American security men around the Eisenhower villa felt genuinely sympathetic for the Swiss troops on guard duty. Most of these troops carried 500 rounds of rifle ammunition around their necks, packed in two heavy boxes. The buffet sessions arranged for the Big Four adjoining their council chamber after each day's meeting turned out to be gen erally brief affairs. They rarely lasted as much as 30 minutes, and sometimes only five or six as far as the principals were concerned.
