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.

story published in Confidential's

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.

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.
TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL
Portland (U.R) Portland
school board last night awarded
a contract for construction of
a new northeast district Port
land high school to O. R. Way
man, a Portland firm which bid
low at $4,234,828.
Dead line for Sunday Classified is

TO CLOSE LEGATION
Lisbon, Portugal (U.W
The foreign office said today
the Portuguese legation in New1
Delhi, India, would be closed as
demanded by the Indian gov-'
ernment Monday. The demand
was the result of a controversy
involving Goa, a Portuguese col
ony on the Indian west coast.
SMOKE JUMPERS READY
La Grande iU.R) Six U. S.
Forest Service smoke jumpers
were standing by at the La
Grande municipal airport today
for use in combatting nearly 100
fires spotted during the last five
days in surrounding forest lands.

week.
