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."
Columbia Fishermen
Get Good Salmon Run
Portland (U.R) Columbia
river fishermen reported today
they had apparently intercepted
a fair salmon run on the first
day of the commercial gillnet
ting season.

pounds.
Astoria canneries, now free of
a strike threat, did not post sal
mon prices but were ready to
compete with the fresh' fish mar
ket. Upriver independent buyers
were offering as high as 35
cents a pound.
Strong winds hampered fish
?rmen last night, running the
boats onto the nets.

School Bill Under
House Group Study
Washington (U.R) The
House Labor committee began
work today on a compromise S2
billion school construction bill.
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,
