Full Blooms
Are Forecast
For Festival

Washington's official cherry
blossom forecaster said today
the trees should be in full bloom
for the festival beginning April 2
But first there's liable to be
some snow.
Edward j. Kelly, in his dual
role as superintendent OF Ma
tional Capital Parks and chair
man of the 1857 Cherry Bios
som Festival. said continued
warm weather and a few days
Of 70-degree temperature will
bring out the blooms to per-
lection.
It's all up to the climate now
but the Weather Bureau indi-
Gates it's going to get worse be-
fore it gets better. Rain is fore
cast for late today with a high
in the SOS. Tonight. the rain
may change to snow, which
wouldn't necessarily hurt the
blossoms but it would make the
Board of Trade fidget.
The Weather Bureaus FIVE
LAY forecast issued today predicts
temperatures one or two degrees
below the normal SO and 80 de-
gree high and low. They say it
will be cool tomorrow and
Wednesday and milder toward
the end of the week. Occasional
rain tomorrow, Friday and Sat-
urday is forecast.
Mr.. Kelly said the trees are
beginning to bud around the
Tidal Basin and West Potomac
Park. Another bright note is the
fact that the ground around the
Japanese cherry trees is more
moist than in the past two or
three years and this helps early
April blooming.
1t should add up to a record
influx of visitors this year, MIR.
Kelly declared.

Chief 7 uIkinq
BY CECIL HOLLAND

Investigating Senators were
assured today by Transfers
Union President Dave Beck that
he will appear for 10 am. hear
ing tomorrow. But they re-
NAMED in doubt as to whether
Beck will turn over his personal
financial books and records.
I've heard from him." SEN
ator Mcclellan said. II inferred
from his message he will be pres
ent."
Senator Mcclellan is chairman
of the Select Senate Commit
tee investigating Becks affairs
in an inquiry into racketeering
in labor and management.
The whereabouts of Beck re-
manned mystery. There were
reports this morning that the
union leader already was in town,
but other reports had him aboard
an airliner. under an assumed
name. and not due to arrive until
sometime this afternoon.
Mundt Doubts Cooperation
Senator Mundt, Republican of
South Dakota, a committee
member, said he was confident
Beck will appear" and added, II
am fairly confident he will not
be as cooperative a witness as
Brewster"
He referred to Frank w.
Brewster. president of the IL
State Western Conference of
Transfers, who appeared before
the committee last week. Brews-
ter agreed on subpoena to turn
over all his financial records on
investigation of charges that he
misused and benefited personally
from Teamster funds.
Former Senator James H. Duff
of Pennsylvania. Beck's attorney,
said the Teamster president will
be more for sure at the time set
for his appearance"
The committee is seeking an
explanation Of $270,000 received
by Beck from his union from
l948 through the first three
months of 1853 in addition of
his salary and expenses. Both
Senator Mcclellan and Com
mittee Counsel Robert F. Ken
nedy said the committee has
been unable to find any records
that the S270,000 was loan.
Not a Gift"
They also said they were sure
the money was not a gift. Sena-
tor Mcclellan set the 10 am.
hearing tomorrow after Beck
acknowledged last week the COM
mlttee'S authority to require"
his presence.
The Transfers boss said he
would bring his records with
him to Washington without
prejudice" to his constitutional
rights. He could invoke the
Fifth Amendment privilege
against possible elf-incrimina-
ton and refuse to turn them
over.
Beck has said he borrowed be-
tween 100000 and 100000
in Transfers funds over a period
OF several years while he was
president of the ll-State West
ern Conference of Transfers.
According to Transfers records,
he paid back S270,000-$2OO, 900
in 1854 and $4,000 in recent
months. This was after Treas
ury agents began investigating
his income tax returns.
Beck, meanwhile, was severely
criticized by Walter Reuther and
James Carey, AFL-CIO vice
presidents.
Mr.. Reuther, head of the Auto
Workers Union. said that if the
Transfers president uses the
Fifth Amendment as it relates
to financial matters and matters
of his obligation to his union
he should be removed from
the Executive Council of the
AFL-CIO."
In a statement issued Satur-
day. Mr.. Reuther called Beck's
use of union funds highly i'm
proper, inexcusable and morally
indefenSible.

spokesman for the Federation of
Citizens Associations, who wanted
economy. and later by Beatrice
c. Reid, for the Washington
chapter. Americans for Demo-
cratic Action, who wanted more
spending. drew sharp responses
from Representative Rabaut,
Democrat of Michigan, subcom-
mittee chairman.
Mr.. Smith, chairman of the
Federation's Fiscal Relations
and Taxation Committee, pro-
tested the District was unable
to carry heavier taxes. He said
that there was a flight of resi-
dents and business houses to the
suburbs of Maryland and Vir-
GINA and that Congress had cut
down on the authorized Fed
eral share.
Instead of the full $23 million
authorized the District this fiscal
year got only $50 million.
Rabaut Answers Smith
The Rabaut subcommittee al
ready has indicated it planned
cuts in the spending program
and fears have been voiced that
the House Appropriations Com
mittee again has been expected
to refuse to recommend $23
million Federal payment.
Answering Mr.. Smith, Chair
man Rabaut declared: The
complaint of majority of peo-
pie about taxes is true all over
the country. not just in the Dis
trict."
And about the talk of residents
going to suburban areas, he
added. that's happening in every
big city in the country and they
don't have any Federal payment
to help them out.
AS I've said before, every city
In the United States would be
glad to have the Capital moved
there"
Urges Limited Increases
Mr.. Smith started by saying
the federation urged that serv-
ices Of the District Government
be maintained at the present
level and that increases be lin
tied to those to meet only emer.
gency needs.
You must be aware OF the
exodus Of many families from
the District into the SUBURBS. =
Mr.. Smith continued, land also
OF some of the Districts indus
tries. This exodus has accelerated
during the last few years"
Declaring that the Federal
Government must assume its
just share of the costs Of main
tanning the Capital City, Mr..
Smith said taxes on local resi-
dents have been increased about
$25 million within the last few
years"
Plea Made for ADA
Mrs. Riedl, for the ADA. urged
the higher Federal payment so
that the District budget. instead
OF being cut, could be increased
substantially. so as TO meet
health, welfare, school and other
needs.
In this connection she re-
minded the subcommittee of the
finding of many school children
who were going hungry because
Of the lack of free school lunch
