Teamsters' Constitution Vague
On How to Proceed With Charges
Br PATRICIA WIGGINS
tjnitsd Press Correspondent
Washington (U.PJ If "John
Q. Truckdriver" wanted to bring
union action against his boss
find information on how to pro
ceed in the Teamsters' constitu
tion. Thi constitution eels SDecific
aout filing complaints against
local officials. It is vague about
means for dealing with interna
tional officer.
The constitution specifies that
charges preferred against any
member or officer of a local
shall be filed in writing with the
local secretary and local execu
tive board in duplicate and
the accused tried by the local
board in "not less than 10 days
Elective Officials
Trial of elective international
officers, on the other hand, "shall
be before the general executive
board at such time and place as
fixed by the general executive
board."
Presumably charges against an
international officer would also
be filed in writing. But the con
stitution does not spell this out
nor say with whom they should
be filed.
A member or officer of a local,
the constitution states, may ap
peal a conviction to a joint coun
cil if one exists or to the general
executive board. Conviction
means automatic revocation of
his membership.
An executive officer of the in
ternational may appeal any ac
tion against him to the full Team
ster membership at the next
Teamster convention.
Beck has said he plans to run
for reelection at the next con
vention in Miami Beach next
September and is willing to
rise or fall" on the verdict of
the union membership. AFL-CIO
officials consider the Teamster
onstitution trial procedure aca
demic because the convention
will give the members a chance
to bounce Beck if they choose.
Nayy Rejects Four
Alternate Sites
Washington (U.R) The Navy
has rejected four alternate sites
for the Port Chicago, Calif., an
munition depot on grounds rang
ing from poor climate, remote
ness, high costs and insufficient
labor.
The reasons were spelled out
Thursday in a letter from Navy
Undersecretary Thomas S. Gates
Jr., to the House Armed Services
committee.
Gates recommended that the
installation be left where it is.
and that the Navy acquire a 10
mile "safety zone" around it.
The rejected alternate sites,
suggested by a private engineer
ing firm, were Tulalip, Wash.,
Bellingham. Wash., Tubbs Island,
Calif., and Collinsville Calif.
Gates said the Tubbs Island
site in San Pablo Bay northwest
of Vallejo, Calif., was the only
site in the bay area which could
conceivably service large naval
vessels directly without resort
ing to barging of ammunition.
But he said the cost of main
taining waterfront facilities at
the island and the lack of proper
railroad connections made it undesirable.
Nevertheless, if a rank-and-
file member filed a complaint
against Beck he might be dis
mayed by the way the constitu
tion provides for trial of an in
ternational officer.
It says the general executive
board may have sich a trial con
ducted before a panel appointed
by the president "consisting of
one or more disinterested mem
bers thereof."
Members of the Teamster
board are President Dave Beck,
Secretary-Treasurer John Eng
lish and 11 vice presidents in
cluding James R. Hoffa, head of
the Teamsters' Central State
conference, under indictment for
bribery; Frank Brewster, head
of the Western conference, in
dicted for contempt of Congress;
Einar Mohn, indicted for con
tempt of Congress; and Sidney
Brennan, now appealing a con
viction for illegally accepting
payments from an employer.
Most union constitutions pro
vide for trial by the executive
board as the most appropriate
union body to handle such affairs.

SOC Man Speaks
Dr. Lawrence Butler of South
ern Oregon college spoke on ob
jectives of discipline. He said
good discipline methods channel
children's activities toward mak
ing them useful members of so
ciety. He emphasized that discip
line should not be considered in
terms of punishment. He added
he was convinced there comes
a time with certain children
when physical force is the only
thing they can understand.

fects Oregon schools was dis
cussed by Dave Bronson, princi
pal of Murphy school, and legis
lative chairman for the group.

16-Year-OldBoy
Found Frozen to
Death on Fence
Amarillo, Tex. flJ.R) A love
smitten 16-year-old boy who
tried to walk 35 miles through a
savage blizzard to see the girl
he loved was found slumped on
a barbed-wire fence, frozen to
death, Thursday.
A cowboy, riding the fence
line in search of breaks caused
by the storm, came upon the
body of Chester A. Simpson, 16
miles northwest of Amarillo,
which had been the boy's desti
nation when he set out last Sat
urday. Authorities said Simpson apparently-
had been overcome by
the numbing cold and wind
whipped snow th t piled up huge
drifts over the week end.
.Field Jacket, Dungarees
Wearing a field jacket and
dungarees, Simpson headed for
a nearby highway to try to
hitchhike a ride to Amarillo
late Saturday afternoon after
the approaching blizzard had
cancelled a bus run from Boys
Ranch, a home for homeless and
wayward boys.
Cal Farley, director of the
ranch, said Simpson had fallen
in love recently with a girl in
Amarillo, ind was determined
to see her Saturday. The storm
struck early that evening, appar
ently while Simpson was walk
ing toward the city, 35 miles
from Boys Ranch. The girl was
not identified.
Even before the blizzard be
gan, ranch staff members
searched the area, seeking to
find and dissuade Simpson from
continuing his trip. The search
was resumed, on horseback,
Monday.
