Beck Financial
Probe Continues
At Tacoma Trial
Tacoma, Wash. (UPD The
prosecution resumed its probe
into the stock dividends, bank
and expense accounts of Dave
Beck today as the income tax
evasion trial of the former
Teamsters president enters its
seventh day.
Beck is accused of evading
payment of $240,000 income
taxes from the year 1950 to
1953.
Beck's sister, Mrs. Rita
Henne, was among those who
took the stand Monday. She
broke down and cried when
defense attorney Charles S.
Burdell asked her what be
came of dividends for stock
issued in her name.
Meant Gratitude
The woman, a 63-year-old
widow, answered that her
brother had given her the
stock "for my future" but she
began to weep as she tried
to continue.
Burdell said, "What you
mean to say is, you owed
him a great deal." The attor
ney did not mean a great
deal of money, but, rather,
gratitude.
She answered, "Yes, sir,"
and added that Beck was re
investing the money for her.
Government attorneys, how
ever, contend that Beck con
verted this money to his own
use.
Reported Income
Mrs. Henne's income tax
returns for 1950 show that
she reported dividend income
at $35,149 on Seattle Brew
ing and Malting Co. stock and
in 1951 she reported dividend
income of $33,325 on stock
of the same company.
George L. Machin, chief
auditor for the Division of
Intelligence for the Internal
Revenue Bureau here, testi
fied that his investigation of
Beck's income during a four
year period, from 1934-1937,
resulted in uncovering' ap
proximately $22,000 in unex
plained bank accounts, plus
a $5-per-day expense account
on which the ex-union leader
had not paid income tax.

Russia Accuses
West of Using
Soviet Refugees
Old Accusations
Revived at Berlin
Berlin (UPD The Soviet Un
ion accused the United States
and West Germany today of
using Russian refugees in the
cold war against Russia.
More than 100 reporters,
photographers and camera
men turned out for a Soviet
press conference which had
been expected to produce the
official Soviet view on possi
bility of a new Berlin block
ade. Old Accusations
Instead they got a report
from Maj. Gen. Sergei Vishni
evsky, chairman of the "Com
mittee for the Return to the
Homeland," in which he trot
ted out old accusations about
the use of Soviet citizens by
the West in the cold war.
The East Germans had in
dicated Monday Soviet Am
bassador Mikhail G. Pervuk
hin would hold the press con
ference. He had just returned
from Moscow and was believ
ed to be bringing the official
Russian viewpoint with him.
Instead reporters heard a
rehash of previous accusations
used against Bonn and Wash
ington. Belief that a major state
ment was in the works fol
lowed a statement today by
Johannes Dieckmann, presi
dent of the Communist East
German parliament, who said
the question of a blockade
was up to Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev.
Word Not Used
' Asked if Khrushchev's plan
to abrogate the four-power oc
cupation agreements on Ber
lin will lead to a new block
ade, Dieckmann said, "Your
question is directed at Mos
cow." He swiftly added that
Khrushchev had not used the
word blockade in discussing
Berlin.
Dieckmann said he hoped
all foreign troops would be
withdrawn soon from all of
Germany and Berlin and said
the Soviets would withdraw
theirs immediately if the
Western powers do the same
thing.

Schedule Changes
Not To Be Made;
Retaliation Due
Soviet Attacks on
Yank Planes Disclosed
Washington (UPD The
United States refused today
to change any of its military
flight schedules and made it
clear that U. S. airmen may
fire back if they are attacked
again by the Russians.
This position was outlined
after the State Department
disclosed Monday that Soviet
fighters made forays against
two U. S. military planes
one over the Baltic Sea and
the other over the Sea of
Japan on Nov. 7.
Russian fighters fired
twice on the plane over the
Baltic. Simulated attacks
were carried out on the plane
over the Sea of Japan. Neith
er plane was damaged.
'No Curtailment'
An Air Force spokesman
told United Press Internation
al that there will be "no cur
tailment of any of our train
ing or routine flights." He em
phasized that these air
flights are not provocative
and there is no reason for
the Soviet attacks. The Penta
gon has steadfastly maintain
ed that all U. S. planes in
volved in recent Soviet inci
dent were engaged in train
ing or navigational flights.
In disclosing the recent Red
attacks, a formal U. S. note
to Moscow noted neither of
the American planes involved
fired back despite what it
called the "dangerous, offen
sive and provocative actions
of Soviet fighter aircraft."
Stern Language
But it told the Kremlin in
unusually stern language:
"If such dangerous tactics
are in the future repeated by
Soviet aircraft in close prox
imity to American aircraft in
international airspace, the
Soviet government should be
aware that commanders of
American aircraft will be un
der instructions to take any
defensive action which they
consider necessary and ap
propriate."

By Heavy Snows
Rash of Twisters
In Southern States
By United Press Internaxirnal
A record storm, which
lashed the West and Midlands
with devastating tornadoes, .
deep snow and drenching
rains, veered northward to
day with blizzard conditions
whipping sections of Minne
sota and the Dakotas.
At least six deaths were
blamed on the storm which
began on the West coast dur
ing the week end and rolled
across the Rockies to batter,
a vast region from the Cana
dian border to Mexico.
Another 18 persons were
missing, including three Boy
Scouts and three airmen lost
in snowy wester wilderness
regions. Scores of persons
were stranded temporarily in
lodges and along the snow
clogged highways.
Records Smashed
The vicious snowstorm
smashed records in southern
Arizona's vacationland, left
snow 20 inches deep in south
ern Wyoming and 16 inches
in the Dakotas. Nearly 100
schools were closed in Kansas.
The Chicago weather bu
reau said the storm also prob
ably set a record for its ex
tent and ferocity this early in
the season.
Ahead of the wintry blasts.
southerly winds pumped mild
weather into the East, setting
the stage for a rash of twist
ers Monday which skipped
through Texas, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois.
Buildings Damaged
Hardest hit was Elkader,
Iowa, where a tornado swoop
ed down on the town's main
street "like a fireball" Mon
day afternoon. .About 14
buildings were damaged and
the roof of the county jail
was torn away. Six to eight
automobiles were demolished.
In the West, searcher
slogged through deep moun
tain snows for three thinly
clad Boy Scouts missing since
Sunday in. the frigid Santa
Rita mountains south of Tuc
son. There was little hope the
youngsters would- be found
alive. . .
However, hope mounted
that two missing airmen
might still be alive high "in
the Rocky mountains west of
Fort Collins, Colo. A search
pilot reported sighting a se
ries of fires arranged in an
"L" shape near the summit of
Hayden peak.
Other storm victims were
a man killed Monday when
winds smashed an Odessa,
Tex., oil derrick; a Morris,
Okla., woman found dead in
the tornado wreckage of her
chicken coop, and a Colorado
motorist whose car skidded
on ice down a 30-foot cliff
near Eagle, Colo., Sunday.
Among the stranded were
50 persons caught by treacher
ous road conditions at the Mt.
Lemmon resort lodge near.
Tucson.
Twelve other persons were
brought out of the Arizona
snowlands by ambulances and
search parties, two of them
hunters suffering from ex
haustion and starvation.
Ten hunters still were miss
ing in the Arizona snow, but
authorities believed that they
were safe and taking refuge
in cabins.
