7 eomster Chiefs Gather
I omorrow in Galveston

GALVESTON, Tex. April 10
I(P.--The bigwigs of the stormy
Teamsters Union, headed by
Dave Beck. gather here Monday
for a closed-door strategy con-
ference to map the course of
their investigation buffeted

Reported main purpose Of the
session of the 13-member Ex-
Iecutive Committee is to deter

Ignores the hearing.
The meeting is also seen as a
test Of strength of Beck's po-
Isition within the union.
The 62-year-old Beck, who in
voked the Fifth Amendment lit
times before a Senate investiga-
ton committee probing his ac-
|tivities. repeatedly Is urging that
the union snub the AFL-CIO
hearing May 8 regardless Of the
consequences.
Members Opinion Divided
Union membership opinion was
divided after the Senate probers
charged Beck with using at least
100000 Of the unions funds for
his own personal purposes. Some

in the Teamster armament be-
gan TO rise sharply.
As the head of the Western
Conference of Transfers he i'm
posed trusteeships on scores OF
local unions. and has used the
over the-road drivers as the bat
tering ram for organizing ware
canY1ery workers,
dairy employees. factories. retail
stores. and many others far
afield from the original Team
ster jurisdiction. What Dobbs
soMed. Beck reaped.
S35 Million in Treasury
The Transfers now are the
first or second largest union in
AFL-CIO. alternating with Wal
ter Reuther's Auto Workers for
that honor. They have a treasury
close TO the $35 million mark
and a lavish Office building worth
SIS million.
Until the Mcclellan committee
on improper activities in the la
Dor or management field began
its inquiry. Beck and his ally,
Hoffa. were the undiSputed mas
tiers Of this empire. The slow
whiting of democratic safe
guards and the apathetic ac-
quiescence of ank-and- file
members to the point where
there has been little resistance
in recent years has made this
kingly role possible.
Beck's S91. 900 income tax last
year-projected on a 6 per cent
earning rate-Would indicate
that he owns a fortune OF be-
tween 50 million and SO million
a tidy sum for an ex-laundry
driver. 1t is almost certainly the
biggest bundle of any union Of

pledged answering loyalty.
Within the Executive Commit
tee, it is reported that SOME
members are urging that the
Teamsters Union. whose 1885, OC
membership makes it one of the
largest in the Nation. defend it,
self before the AFL-CIO Ethical
Practices Committee hearing in
Washington.
The reaction to the Senate
charges against Beck and the
split over the unions relation
ship with the AFL-CIO could
further strengthen what seems
to be growing opposition to Beck's
reelection next September.
HOffa on Committee
Behind the closed doors Of
Parlor c Of the Galvez Hotel in
this seashore resort. Beck will be
facing men who have as much II
not more strength than he has
within the union.
The Executive Committee In
cludes James r. (Jimmy) Hoffa
who from his Detroit Office rules
the teamsters Of the Midwest as
firmly as Beck has ruled the
Northwest at Seattle. Some OBJ
servers say Hoffa is even more
influential within the union thar
lis Beck.
Like Beck, Hoffa has had his
troubles with Investigations. He

of Senate investigation commit

Two Others Indicted
Two other executive commit
tee members are also under in

gress. They are Frank w. Brew

Local teamsters' officials have
been silent as to who will attend
the session. A block reservation
of hotel rooms for Is persons for
Monday night was made by Texas
officials of the union. The con-
ference room was reserved for
Tuesday.
At least one executive board
member may not attend the con-
ference. Floyd c. tSpider) Webb
of Missouri says he hasn't made

Pace Slower
A retarded child's apprecia-

must be built up. His attention
span is narrow. The pace is
slower than it is in an average
classroom. Because Of his hand
leap, he has less experience
on which to draw.
All of these things are fully
recognized in the day school

Later when his parents moved

During his early career. the

Beyond his spiritual guidance.
he desired to promote the eco

Because most statesmen and

to study law.

YWCA Fall Classes Goodwill Industries

There Is a common de-
non!inator at Goodwill In
dustries which makes life
easier than it is in other
industries.
This doesn't mean that
the work is necessarily east
er, in fact for many of the
$50 physically handicapped
workers it is more difficult.
1t does mean, however, that
because everyone does have
an impairment, each worker
helps the others in his de-
partment, both in the actual
labor involved and in boost
ing morale, which is SO i'm
portant to any working
man.
This is probably why
Goodwill Industries is self
supporting as far as opera
tons go, in spite of the fact
that the working personnel
all have what industry
would describe as a handi-
cap.
At Goodwill these handi-
caps are assets, and each
worker learns to do the
most with what he has.
Independent in many
ways, these workers do de-
pend on the giving of dis
cards to insure their jobs.
Every year at fall house
cleaning time a special plea
is made to the public to
remember that many things
that are outgrown or in
need of repair can be used
by these handicapped work
ers.
Items in particular de-
mand at this time are mems
and children's clothing and
small appliances.
Many housewives origin
ally called Goodwill In

cards in order to help the
