. u ne didn t have a loan and it
; wasn't a gift, then he is bound
to have taken the mnnpv without
any authority or consent," Mo-
iieuan replied.
-The committee has charged
Beck with taking 5322,000 in
, teamster money for his own use.
Beck has claimed he borrowed
between $300,000 and $400,000
from the union and paid it back.
McClellan said there also is a
possibility of a case against Beck
of "using the mails to defraud."
Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-N.Y.),
a committee member, also said
there is "plenty of room" to war
rant criminal prosecution of
Beck and Nathan W. Sheffer
man, a labor consultant to busi
ness firms, on charges of vio
lating the Taft-Harley law.
Illegal Payment
Ives said he believes financial
transactions between Beck and
Shefferman, disclosed in com
mittee hearings last week, vio
lated the Taft-Hartley law's ban
on payments between union and
management representatives. He

'c can reasonably expect tfere ap
pearance f Jehn Eaeguardi,
alias Johnny Dio, before the com
mittee when it holds hearing oa
alleged racketeering in the Ney
York area. He refused to say
whether Dioguardi has been sub
poenaed. Dioguardi is under ijadictawnt
in connection with the cid blind
ing of labor columnist Victor
Riesel in New York.
McClellan said the committee's
investigation in the New York
area involve a "paper uniaa,"
collusion between management
and labor" and other matters,
"there is so much of it."
Legislation Needed
He said the "paper union" in
volves a union with nominal
membership set up "primarily to
extort" and to "control" labor
elections.
McClellan, Ives and Labor
Secretary James P. Mitchell
spoke out for laws requiring
stricter union financial report
ing. Ives said he favors criminal
penalties for filing false reports
not now provided.
McClellan also said disclosures
thus far "clearly indicate to me
now there should be federal leg
islation to insure the democratic
processes in unions" and secur
ity of their funds against misap
propriation or "loans" to offic
ers.

MEDFOR (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE OTTEW
Teamsters in Oakland
Area Voice Approval
To Oust Top Officers
Oakland, Calif. (U.R) East
Bay teamsters expressed over
whelming approval Sunday of
'a motion to oust International
President Dave Beck, western
leader Frank Brewster, and Jim
my Hoffa, head of the midwest
teamsters .
However, the move was tem
porarily blocked by Cy Stulting,
Beck-appointed president of Lo
cal 70, who said the motion had
to be read at three meetings.
Motion Cheered
The motion, result of current
senate investigations into labor
racketeering, was cheered lust
ily by the some 3500 local mem
bers who attended the mass
meeting at the Oakland Audi
torium. But before it could be brought
to a vote, Stulting shelved it
his ruling.
Merle Bigenho, 44 - year - old
truck driver for the University
of California, presented the oust
er motion, which would have
had the effect of placing the
local on record as supporting
the AFL-CIO suspension of
Beck.
Bigenho, said after the meet
ing that Stulting's ruling was
contrary to the local's by-laws.
He said the only motions which
require three readings are by
law amendments.
The motion read in part:
"The rank and file members
demand the resignations of Dave
Beck, James Hoffa and Frank
Brewster from all official posi
tions in the Teamsters union."
No Plans To Secede
Despite the acclaim that greet
ed Bigenho's motion, there was
no indication that Local 70
plans to secede from the Team
sters union.
Sunday's meeting was called
to arrange for nominations and
election of officers for the local.
Last week, the international
relinquished a "trusteeship" it
had held over local affairs since
1949, when a $110,000 shortage
was discovered in local funds. -
