Telephone SP 2-21 11 Uncomfortable Stillness Is Felt In Dave Beck's Beautiful Palace By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune- Correspondent Washington A visit to the beautiful palace that Dave Beck butlt here as the Teamsters International headquarters, is very much like walking through Holly wood' famous Forest Lawn. It'i lovely in a somber, death-like sort of way. From the outside, this a. sobt. smith marble m a af terpiece rivals any modern ar chitecture in all this beautiful capital city. But on the inside, its tasteful appointments, its expen sive drapes that are drawn against the slanting rays of the afternoon sun on the great pan els of glass all of it is over whelmed by an uncomfortable stillness that one seldom finds outside of tombs. Aclive Press Room Even a fairly active press room that has just been estab lished on the second floor to ac commodate newspapermen, com plete with chattering news tick ers, fails somehow to penetrate the solemnity of the place. The men who have been hired to man this Teamster publicity bureau, all of them ex-newspapermen of considerable repute, are doing what they can to shat ter the gloom. Their efforts are the first fruits of the public re lations campaign Beck's union has belatedly launched since the Teamster boss and certain of his top subordinates have become entangled in the coils of the U.S. Senate and the law. A month ago, a reporter try ing to get legitimate informa tion from the Teamster .head quarters, was shunted from one officer to another, each passing the buck ad infinitum rather than admit they couldn't pro vide answers. Answer Quicker The three-man press staff now on duty for the Teamsters doesn't come up with any more positive information in response to the vital queries of the day such as where are Beck's asso ciates hiding out from Senate investigators but a reporter gets a negative answer quicker, at least. The general pitch of the Team ster public relations campaign, run by an expert of the craft, David B. Charnay of New York, is that the criticism of the Teamster officials is motivated by broadscale anti-union inter ests. In other words, their effort is to convince anyone who will believe it that the Teamsters' enemies in their current trou bles are the traditional enemies of all labor and all working men.

Holmes Insurance Company 116 South Central Avenue Medford, Oregon Court A McAndrews Originally, Beck had declared that he would launch a $1,000, 000 "truth campaign" to tell his side of the story, right after he passed up a two-day opportunity to do it for free before the Sen ate racketeering com,mittee where he had a TV audience. But Teamster Secretary-Treasurer John F. English, the man who has prevented the union treasury from being tapped by Beck for a payment covering the luxurious furnishings in his Seattle - residence, threw cold water on this by saying that he wouldn't approve the funds. The result was a- compromise figure of $200,000 annually, which could be extended into a five year program if the Teamster convention approves it. Go Out Window The whole program could go out the window with Beck at the September convention, if ' 1 ?

Charnay's press agentry has been successful in the past, in the view of those who hired his firm, Allied Industrial Relations Consultants, Inc. Among those was John L. Lewis, turbulent head of the United Minework ers,' back in the days when he was casting a plague on many houses. But Charnay isn't only a la bor promoter. Indeed, some labor officials here have raised eyebrows over the fact that he sees no conflict of interest in the fact his firm also represents a truck employer group, the East ern Highway Transport confer ence.

Sadl For the first time science has fonnd a new healing substance with the astonish ing ability to shrink hemorrhoids and to relieve pain without surgery. In case after ease, while gently relieving pain, aetnal reduction (shrinkage) took place. Most amazing of all -results were so thorough that sufferers mad California Found Crowded; Group Goes To Tahiti Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) Who says there's no way out for those fed up with city noise and crowding? Not Herb Kurtz. The 45-year-old civil engineer recently decided California wai "too darn crowded." Many would resign themselves, but Herb just up and took off for Tahiti to try and buy an island. To accomplish this, he held talks with the governor of French Oceania to discover which of the isles in the Tua motu Archipelago group were available for lease or sale. Final reports aren't in yet. When he left Sacramento, he went alone. As soon as the land problem is settled and a house is built a house put up by Herb himself his wife, is going to join him. And they've talked four other local couples into going along, thus setting up a colony on the island. A Surveyor Is Herb going to go native? Well, at least part of the way. The dwelling will be a hut. But food problems will, in part, be solved with the most modern packets of vegetable seeds, pre sented to the adventuresome guy by a city seed firm before he left San Francisco aboard the New Zealand steamship Waito mo. Herb thinks he'll be able to take at least some of the vittles out of his dream isle's rich re sources. "I think I'm bush-wise," he said. "I've spent years survey ing for the federal- government up on the Canadian border." He isn't taking anything for granted, though. If the Tuamotu deal falls through, he plans to go south to Rapa Island in the Tubuai Archipelago and try again. The whole area is semi- tropical with a year-around tem perature of some 72 degrees. There are plenty of wild boars, vegetation and chickens. Loves Nature How about cost? Herb expects he'll be able to lease a 10,000 acre island for $250 every 10 years. And it took only $1,260 to outfit himself entirely for the extended jaunt. His traveling equipment in cluded first aid materials, in cluding drugs and antibiotics, guns, fishing gear and all the odds-and-ends it takes to put to gether a 10-person village. All this was packed into three over sized wooden crates. Kurtz pointed out that his "big move" isn't anything against his home state at all. "I love California," he ex plained, "but it's just getting too crowded." And this is no travel poster inspired whim, for Herb said he'll stay on the island "for the rest of my life if everything works out all right."

Sitting complacently beneath the staring eyes of dusty stuffed animals, Heist looks out with good clear blue eyes and runs down the list of things he has on hand. "I've got tiger claws, ele phant hair, bat's blood, croco dile teeth, hyena tails (I'm sav ing one for a witch doctor), shed snake skin, bear's gall (they all want that) and a lot of other stuff." A man of many hobbies and talents, Heist lends a hand to re storing oil paintings and repair ing china and has an antique shop below his studio.
