Beck Case Witness Says
Loans Never On Ledgers
TACOMA, Wash. AP)-Several
Teamsters' Union officials other
than. Dave Beck Sr. borrowed
union funds at times, but Beck's
loans never showed on the books,
a witness testified Thursday dur
ing the former Teamster presi
dent's income tax evasion trial.
Donald McDonald, once a book
keeper who handled the books of
about nine Teamsters' Union en
tities, told the federal court jury
that when Beck told him to write
a check on Teamster accounts, he
wrote the check "and that was
that."
The prosecution took each of the
union entities for which McDonald
kept books and asked if anv ol
those showed a loan to Beck.
In each case, McDonald an
swered "no."
McDonald said a number of
checks, introduced in court as
evidence, were entered on the
books as promotion and publicity
expenses. I
Beck's attorneys have indicated
the defense will be based on con
tentions Beck borrowed funds
from the union and Ihe loans, as
such, were not taxable.
Beck is charged with evading
payment -of $240,000 in income
taxes for the years 1950-53.
McDonald said other Teamsters
officials, including a former can
didate for governor of Washington
State, borrowed from union treas
uries. Those loans, he said, were
reflected on the books he kept.
The former gubernatorial can
didate referred to was identified
by McDonald as John C. Steven
son, who was defeated as a Dem
ocrat in the primary election of
1936. He is now an attorney for a
Los Angeles Teamsters' local.

Town Facing
School Loss
NEW PINE CREEK-Consider
able interest has been aroused in
the New Pine Creek area over the
prospects of losing the seventh
and eighth grades at Kelly Creek
hchool and even the school itself.
if the trend created by the state
reorganization school law is not
changed by amendment.
Parents and other taxpayers at
tended a meeting at the school
last Thursday evening after a
meeting of the school board. Dar-
vin Robnett, a member of the local
board and also a member of the
Lake County nine-man reorganiza
tion board, conducted the meet
ing.
County Superintendent of
Schools Anne Sprague answered
questions and informed the audi
ence what obstacles confronted
them in the education of their
children.
Lake Countv District No. 1. the
Kelly School District, falls into the
category of a "distressed dis
trict," where the taxable wealth
runs about $2,608.70 per census
child of assessed valuation.
Before the Rural District Law
was amended in Lake County, a
system was devised in which there
was 100 per cent equalization with
in the districts of the county out
side the one first class district,
Lakeview. All rural districts
shared equally of the county's
wealth. The new rural district law
stipulates that there can- only be
50 per cent equalization and this
money is distributed back to dis
tricts on an average daily mem
bership basis.
The new organization law also
eliminates by 1960 all non-high
school districts in the county.
Non-high school millage tax for
Kelly Creek was increased to nine
mills this year. This coupled with
other drastic changes imposed by
the new law has doubled property
taxes in the district.
A solution may be the consoli
dation with Lakeview, which may
or may not lower the tax burden of
the combined districts.

part of the late Tyrone Power in
the movie, "Solomon and Sheba,"

present from her famous, shaven
pated husband was a sable stole
big enough for a blanket.
Virginia will miss her dynamic
mate while he is on location in
Europe, but she won't have much
time to waste in moping. She's
much too busy with her work.

more romantic and dramatic than
any part I ever played on the
stage," says she. "I got interested
in it a couple of years ago when
I was looking for something to

"We did do a daily 30-minute TV
show together for a while in the
early days, when we were broke.
But then Rocky was born and I
had to stay home and take care
of him, because we didn't have
enough money to hire a nurse

to turn my child over to a
stranger. Now Rocky's in prep

went into this research. And I'm
