Labor Leaders
Wait Teamster
Action on Beck
Boss of Giant Union
Seen Ready to Fight
AFL-ClO Suspension
BY the Associated Press

Leaders OF organized labor to-
day awaited word on whether
Dave Beck's Transfers will back
him or dump him in the wake
of his suspension as an ALL
CLIO chieftain
Beck, president of the giant
Transfers Union. gave every
appearance of peing determined
to fight it out.
His troubles mounted on the
heels of the AFL-CIO Executive
Councils action yesterday sus-
pending him as one of its men,
berS and as an AFL-CIO vice
president.
The council-top command of
the 15-million-member ALL
CIO-ordered a full-scale in
vestigation by the Federation
Ethical Practices Committee into
charges that Beck has brought
the labor movement into dis
repute." This probe also would
cover corruption allegations
against several other high Team
sters' officials, some of whom
are under indictment on various
charges.
Not Half Through"
Meanwhile. Senate rackets
committee sources said they are
not half through investigating
Beck's complex financial deal
ings, but may not call him back
sfor quizzing unless he agrees to
talk. They said other witnesses
and documentary evidence could
tell most Of the story.
The AFL-CIO councils move
against Beck came after he
invoked his Fifth Amendment
protection against possible self
determination in refusing to tell
the racketS committee about his
finances. The Senate investi-
gators say he turned to his
personal use more than 1920. 900
in Teamster funds.
If it follows past practice. the
AFL-CIO council is likely to give
the 1.5-million-member union an
opportunity to GUST certain of
its officers. The penalty for not
doing so would be suspension
from the giant federation-and
a possible later move to create
a rival union in the same field.
Beck-who did not attend the
council meeting-told a reporter
in Seattle II have nothing to
say" about the action against
him. Beck said he expects to call
a special meeting soon of the
Teamster executive board. He
didn't say where or when the
board would meet.
Summoned to Hearing
AFL-CIO President George
Meany said yesterday Beck has
been summoned to hearing here

that would polarize the issue in
election contests.
The city officials adhere to seq
regation policies, which unques-
tionably reflect the views of the
vast majority of Atlanta's white
population. At the same time,
Mayor Hartsfield has vigorously

aimed at giving the Negro segment
a greater voice in programs for
better schools, better housing, and
wider recreation facilities. He has
worked for the establishment of a
climate" favorable to racial adj
justments.
AS a result, Atlanta's racial re-

Negro voters have backed Mayor
Hartsfield strongly and in recent
years the racial issue has not been
raised in mayorality contests.

Friday night, November 22nd,
the Reserve Unit entertained in
gala social at the college dining
hall. The dining hall was beauti-
fully decorated, and the queen
reigned with, the magic charm of
ancient times. Miss Bertha Palmer

beautifully CARRIED in an attire that
met the demands of the occasion
magnificently well.
First Lieutenant G. s. Clark,
Commander of the Unit, was in
charge of the affair. He was as
sisted by First Lieutenants Daven-
port and Don Dillon, group Of
fine non-commission officers, and
as splendid a core of men as may
be found in the country.

head while an impressed group of
invited guests in formal dress look

across the floor to the strain of its
magic charms. &

Based on U. 8. Model
The government has a structure
based on the United States model.
However, the Legislature acts prin-
cipally to approve the Presidents
programs even though it drags 1t
feet on some measures. All i'm
portant decisions, even to the ap-
prevail Of every voucher for more
than few hundred dollars, are
taken by President Tubman.
There is no formal opposition
to his rule, although two rival
candidates appeared at the last
presidential election. 1t is said
that two cabinet members were
ousted this year because they tend
ed to support the idea Of tolerat-
ing an opposition. Both Of the
newspapers here are subsidized by
the government. The labor unions
are assisted" by the government;
they have few members and few
meetings. The minimum wage is
4 cents an hour in industry and
less in agriculture. There is no
child labor or employee welfare
legislation, but the large foreign
company do provide social services.
Within the limits Of his domes-
tic political problems and his own
ambitions, President Tubman is
credited with a sincere desire to
improve and develop Liberia. He
has increased government revenues
from s1,oO0,OO0 to $19,O00,000.
On TIE other hand, he is dicker'
ing for a new 740-ton presidential
yacht and talking of new execu'
tive mansion despite the nations
more obvious needs.
These are some of the signs Of
a progressive trend:
