During the morning session
Frank W. Brewster, former
president of the Western Con
ference of Teamsters, testified
that he could not recall that
the union had ever made any
loan to Beck prior to 1954.
Repaid Every Cent
Beck has contended that he
borrowed $370,000 from
union funds between 1950 and
1954, and that he had repaid
every cent of the sum.
Beck is being tried on
charges of having evaded
$240,000 in income taxes for
the years 1950 to 1953. One
of the keystones to his de
fense is that he borrowed
money during that period
from the union. Borrowed
money is tax-exempt.
Brewster did recall that
about 18 years ago he and
Beck received a loan from
the union to purchase a ser
vice station across the street
from Teamster headquarters
in Seattle.
Has Been Repaid
Brewster added that this
loan, for $5,000, had been re
paid.
Brewster is now president
of Joint Council 28 of the
Teamsters Union. He was top
pled from his position as head
of the Western Conference be
cause of his opposition to the
election of James R. Hoffa as
Beck's successor.
