U.R! Dave Beck, Teamsters president, was hanged and burned in effigy here Thursday night In front of a Teamsters Union hall. A placard reading "Majority members of Local 524 strongly in favor Senate Investigating committee" hung from the effigy. Witnesses said a group of men who identified themselves as Teamsters came out of the union hall near the end of a stormy meeting and burned the effigy. About 700 irate Teamster members attended the meeting to demand that steps be taken to lift a trusteeship imposed in 1954. Members also passed a resolu tion saying no money from the local's general fund would be used for Beck's defense should he be brought to trial. Fred Wehde, a trustee ap pointed by Beck to handle the union's affairs when it became involved in internal difficulties, said the resolution was unneces sary but was shouted down.

Television and the movies are making a good little girl out of Patty Mc- C o r m a ck. a ,. - blonde who 4 con eciea ai Oscar nomina tion for being a field in "The Bad Seed" But the change to angelic r o 1 es doesn't t h r i 11 Allnt Moiby nr. "Sometimes when people see me they call me 'Rat' a,nd 'mon ster' but I'd like to do more of those bad girl parts," -the 11-lear-old actress whispered shyly. Patty was sitting in the Brown Derby restaurant, nearly lost in the big booth and quietly observ ing the celebrities table-hopping by. As she carefully ate a ham-and-cheese-on-white she explain ed her "Bad Seed" stardom had snowballed her into more jobs. Ntw Rol Assumed She plays a nice moppet who mothers two little boys on NBC's "Matinee Theater" April 2. "But maybe I should do this," she grinned, and made motions of demolishing the two tykes as she did her victims in "The Bad Seed." Next week Patty is another nice girl on "Heuiz 57" and then she begins a seven-year contract at Universal-International studio, beginning with playing a little angel in "Christmas in Paradise." Since Patty is going on 12, she may lose her trademark, those pigtails, for the U-I pictures. "I like good girl parts, too," she added. Unimpressed by Stardom In real life Patty is a far cry from the "Bad Seed" brat. She appears to be a healthy tomboy with nice manner who isn't im pressed by stardom, a novelty among the little darlings of the movies. The child became an actress at 6 by accident when she went te a speech theater in New York to overcome a lisp. The teacher sent her to a tryout of a play. which flopped. But her second Broadway drama was "The Bad Seed." It established her as a success among small fry the spians. Patty was called to Hollywood for the movie version, and for "The Day They Gave Babies Away." She's now in such de mand that her parents moved to the cinema capital.

March 29, 1957 Food Ration Plan Halted for Survey Salem U.R) Gov. Robert D. Holmes said today the State board of control has decided to hold up start of a food ration program in the state's institu tions until a policy study can be made. The decisidn came at the close of a special board session at tended by heads of several insti tutions and budget representa tives. A new food supervisor had been scheduled to begin work at Fairview home April 1 to inaug urate a food ration system simi lar to one already in effect at Oregon State hospital and East ern Oregon state hospital. The state penitentiary also operates on a food ration system. "I think we must review all food policies of the institutions," Gov. Holmes said after hearing state officials including Elsie Maxwell, food consultant for the board of control. Budget proposals now before the legislature would abolish the post held by Miss Maxwell, who has favored a central ration and food control system for the state. This was included in a recom mendation by Miss Maxwell, Leon Margosian, finance depart ment, and Al Richardson, for mer food manager of Oregon state prison, after a survey last year. OSC Students Hurt In Light Plane Crash Corvallis U.R) Two Oregon State college students escaped with only minor head injuries when their two-seater Cessna 120 missed the Corvallis airfield and crashed in a muddy field about 11:30 pjn. yesterday. Jerry Long, 20, of Roseburg. and Willis Allen Wood, 21, of Salem, the pilot, were confined to Good Samaritan hospital here. The two had been on a flight over Portland and Mt. Hood earlier in the evening in the plane belonging to the Salem Pilots association. They tried to return to the Salem field but the lights were out so they con tinued on to Corvallis where landing lights are left on all night. Wood, who has been flying for about a year, said he thought he was on he runway when he came down. The two were knocked unconscious but later recovered sufficiently to walk about a mile to a telephone to summon an ambulance. The flight had been Long's first in any type aircraft.
