10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdford, Ore.. Wednesday, November 12, 1958 Exhibits (Differed in Beck Tax Trial Tacoma, Wash. -ITD- The government offered more ex hibits today to bolster its charge that former Teamsters President Dave Beck cheated the government out of about $240,000 in income taxes for the years 1950-1953. John S. Obenour, deputy U S. attorney, said eventually the government's exhibits are expected to number at least 8C0. The long parade of exhibits began Tuesday with the offer ing of income tax returns of Beck and his wife, Dorothy, returns of the Joint Council 28 Building association, plus numerous bank ledgers, depos it slips, microfilms and bank signature cards. Charles Burdell, chief de ' fense attorney for Beck, ob jected continuously to the in troductions but was overrul ed by U.S. District Judge George H. Boldt. Boldt said Burdell could reserve the right to offer further objec tions if the situation warrants as the trial progresses. Another Aim - In addition to the income tax violation, the government is also trying to prove Beck was responsible for filing false returns . for the Joint Council 28 Building associa tion, a non-profit Teamsters' organization. Herman Schwiezer, assist ant chief of the Bureau of In ternal Revenue's collection division here, was the first government witness. He iden tified income tax returns of fered as evidence. Edward T. Stewart, assis- ant cashier of the National Bank of Commerce, followed Schwiezer to the stand to identify bank records. Net Worth Method Schwiezer said the bureau had checked assessments all the way back to 1913 in an ef fort to determine Beck's "net worth." It is through the "net worth method" that the gov ernmen intends to prove Beck guilty. Schwiezer took the chair af ter Boldt denied a defense motion calling for a mistrial on grounds one of the prospec tive jurors uttered uncompli mentary statements about Beck while Boldt was ques tioning the venireman. Boldt also rejected a peti tion filed by the American Civil Liberties union contend ing Beck could not receive a fair trial here because of ad verse publicity given the ex union leader during the past two years. Boldt contended he was "sure" Beck's trial would be impartial. Washington U Bell Said in Portland Portland- (CPD -A 400-pound bell, recovered by University of Washington students from the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, was hid' den somewhere in Portland today. The bell disappeared from the Tau Kappa Epsilon fra ternity house at the Seattle school after the Oregon-Wash ington football game Nov. 1. At last Saturday's region ally-televised Oregon-Stanford football game in Eugene the bell was put on display by members of the same fratern ity. Early Tuesday a group of Washington students retrieved the bell from the Teke house on the Oregon campus. The Seattle group started back home but stopped over in Portland to visit the stu dent center at Portland State college. The bell vanished again and Portland State stu dents were being quiet about its whereabouts.

Main LOCAL BUSINESS Bf A LOCAL MAN plants closed were the Im perial Assembly, the Dodge truck and the Dodge auto as sembly plants employing 6,200. Assembly Plants Closed. The salaried workers walked out Tuesday and eight of the 10 Chrysler assembly plants were closed within a matter of hours when produc tion employees and truck drivers refused to cross picket lines. It was still too early to tell if truck drivers would cross picket lines today, a spokes man said. It was not known whether the plants could continue to operate at full production without key salaried workers who set up assembly sched ules. 'A Matter of Days" "We won t know tor a while how big a problem it is," a spokesman said. "We don't know if we can continue without them or not. Each plant may have different con ditions." However, Chrysler Vice President John Leary said Tuesday the walkout would shut all the company's car making operations "within a matter of days." . The walkout began when negotiators for the company and the United Auto Workers failed to resolve a contract dispute. Picket lines were set up at more than 30 plants, offices and parts depots. A total of 27,400 workers at the eight plants were idled, including the salaried work ers on strike. A spokesman said 85 per cnt of the com pany's car output was crippled. Congress Asked To Reveal Report Washington -(UPD- Comp troller General Joseph Camp bell appealed to Congress to day to help pry loose an Air Force report believed to be critical of some phases of the Air Force missile program. Campbell said the repeated refusal of the Air Force to make the 61-page review available is preventing him from doing 'his job as Con gress' financial watchdog. He heads the General Account ing Office, ' an arm of Con gress that keeps tabs on fed eral spending. Campbell repeated his ear lier statement that withhold ing such information from his auditors permits the hiding of "adverse conditions" as well as delay and laxity in correct ing them, and can lead to waste of taxpayers' money. The report, prepared by the Air Force inspector general last January, covers manage ment of the Air Force ballistic missiles program. . Campbell, whose chores include auditing the military books first re quested a copy last June 13.

Officers said a finance company tent Johnson form informing him he was $10.81 behind in his pay ments. ' It so. resembled a check' that a supermarket accepted it, investigators said, and in turn pased it along to an egg dealer. A local bank wasn't so easily fooled, however. The "check" bounced, and today Johnson faced a charge of using false pretenses to ob tain money. Mass Arrests In Agentina Buenos Aires, Argentina -(UPE-The government said to day wholesale arrests had thwarted a plot by followers of ex-dictator Juan D. Peron to overthrow .

But navy commander Raul Angelini, the police co ordinator, but the number of arrests at 250, including 35 in Buenos Aires.
