( Brewster Tesjifies In Larceny Trial Of Dave Beck Jr. Seattle W Frank W. Brew ter, chairman of the Western Conference of Teamsters, took the witness stand in the grand larceny trial of Dave Beck Jr., Saturday. Beck Jr., son of outgoing Teamssers President Dave Beck, is accused of selling a 1953, as well as a 1951, Cadillac, belong ing to the Teamsters Union and pocketing the money. Called as a witness for the state, Brewster, who also was President of Joint Council 28, Local 174, and the Joint Council Biulding association, identified several books as financial rec ords of Joint Council 28. Then, court was recessed for the lunch hour. Brewster followed Donald Mc Donald western conference bookkeeper, to the stand. Under direct examination, Mc Donald testified that his ledgers showing cash receipts for sales of union assets contained no rec ord involving the sale of a 1953 Cadillac. McDonald said that if the cars had been sold in a proper man ner the books would show it. Beck allegedly sold the automo biles in 1954 and 1955. Prior to McoDnald's appear ance Richard L. Stines, an as sistant banlf manager, identified a signature card signed by Beck. Stines initialed a check for $1, 850 which was cashed by Beck on Oct. 8, 1954.

Sunday, November 17, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINjJ Crews Race Clock In Saving Homes On Seattle Crater Seattle (ffl City engineers raced the clock Saturday in an effort to save homes perched near the rim of a giant' crater carved by a sewer line cave-in. Repair crews worked on an around-the-clock basis to biuld a by-pass line around the 1600 block of Ravenna Boulevard From Brownsville, on the Gulf of Mexico in Texas, to the northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle, it is 801 miles. where 10 homes have been evac uated. Roy W. Morse, city engineer, said if the by-pass line goes into operation before the cave-in widens "there is a good chance of saving the houses." "We can't do anything except watch it," he said. "There's a real danger of triggering more caving with any jarring. We could lose two or three homes right away." The cav-in had opened up an awesome pit 60 feet deep , and about 200 feet long and 10 feet wide. It swallowed a 25-foot chestunt tree and a light stand ard, and has eaten away at the sandy soil to within eight feet of houses on either side of the street.
