Beck To Appear At Union Hearing To Answer Charges Washington OI.R) Teamsters President Dave Beck agreed to day to appear at an AFL-CIO hearing next Monday to answer ccharges that the Teamsters Un ion is dominated by corrupt in fluences. Beck made known his plans in a letter to President George Meany and to Al J. Hayes, chair man of the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee which is conducting the investigation. Beck said the union's 13-man Executive Board will attend the hearing "to determine if our rights . . . will be accorded rec ognition by your committee, and without prejudice to such rights." Question Up in Air The question of whether the union would boycott the hear ing had been up in the air since mid-April when the union's Ex ecutive Board declared that it would not attend any hearing until certain "rights" had been assured. Meany and Hayes, in reply, simply told the teamsters that the hearing would be held in compliance with the AFL-CIO constitution. The "rights' demanded by the teamsters Executive Board call ed for specific written charges against the union, the right "to confront accusers," the right to "cross-examine those who sup port the charges," the right to "submit evidence in defense," and the "right to adjudication by a tribunal which has not prejudged the case."

Chairman Graham A. Barden (D.-N.C.) said he would call the committee together daily, Mon day through Saturday, until it acts on the proposal. The measure, drafted by a subcommittee, is a compromise between President Eisenhower "s $1,300,000,000 four -year con struction bill and a S3, 600, 000, 000 substitute sponsored by House Democrats. Committee approval was ex pected, but the measure's fate is uncertain in the House itself. And the whole concept of fed eral aid to school construction faced a new formidable foe in the Senate. Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland of Califor nia has said any emergency school aid program would be come permanent and he will oppose it. Almost eight per cent of the 500,000,000 tons of coal mined in the United States in 1956 was produced in Ohio where total state tonnage was 39,500,000, the Keystone Coal Buyers Man ual reports.
