House Republicans today
launched a drive for possible tax
cuts next year by calling for a
crusade of economy" for sub
stantial reductions in the Presi-
dents S71.8 billion budget and in
all Government department
spending.
The Republican move, in the
form of a resolution. adopted
unanimously at a closed confer
ence before the House convened
this afternoon. came after re-
ports of a somewhat similar idea
by Democratic leaders urging tax
cuts in 1858.
The Democratic plan, said to
be under consideration by
Speaker Rayburn and other
leaders appeared aimed at beat
ing the Republicans to the cleo
ton year political punch on both
economy and tax cuts.
The House Republican state
ment was issued shortly before
the House began debate on a
S28 billion appropriation bill for
the Departments Of Labor and
Health, Education and Welfare
for the fiscal year beginning next
July /.
Further Cuts Sought
Several amendments report
eddy were to be offered late
today to trim the bill still more
than the S1l8.7 million which
the House Appropriations Com
mittee had Topped off the Presi-
dents original request for those
departments.
Although the Republican con-
ference resolution set no date
for relief from high taxation, .
Minority Leader Martin told re-
porters the conference believed
a tax cut would be possible and
practical next year if substan-
tial budget and operating saw
ings can be made at this time.
The resolution stated that
the Republican members of the
House agreed that "a sharp re-
duction is essential in the. high
level of Federal Government
spending" The resolution also
cited a recent House Republican
Policy Committee recommended
ton for a substantial reduction
in the budget for the coming
fiscal year.

and CROSBY S. MOVES

Teamster Union President
Dave Beck invoked the Fifth
Amendment today and refused
TO answer questions or turn over
his personal financial records on
charges that he may have mis-
appropriated over $4,000 of
union funds"
Beck, subjected to a barrage of
questions. also refused to answer
about alleged misuseS of union
funds in four instances totaling
1922 447.
Beck ignored subpoena
served on him as he appeared
before the select committee in
vestigating racketeering in labor
and management.
The roly-poly labor leader
challenged the committees iur-
isdictlon and invoked Ibis priv
ilege" under the Fourth and
Fifth Amendments to the Con-
stitution.
Chairman Mcclellan brusquely
overruled his challenge of the
committees authority to inquire
into his financial dealings. dis
missed his claim of privilege un-
der the Fourth and forced Beck
to base his appeal on the Fifth
Amendment.
Fears determination
Senator Mcclellan asked If
Beck honestly believed the
contents of his records would
tend to incriminate him."
Beck replied:
Yes. l think so very def
nitely."
You think it would?" Senator
Mcclellan remarked.
yes. definitely" Beck replied.
The caucus room was filled
with spectators, including several
Senators who are not on the
committee. as the proceedings
were carried by television to
others in the Washington area.
Quizzed on Money
After more than an hour OF
loud exchanges between Beck
and committee members, Com
mittee Counsel Robert E. Ken
nedy finally got down to spe-
ciflc instances where he said
Beck had taken union funds.
These instances, Mr.. Kennedy
said. were:
$4,000 in 1916 from the
Building Association Of Joint
Council IS. in Seattle. to pay off
a loan to a bank.

Reasons Rejected
AS Mr.. Kennedy detailed each
OF these instances he would ask
Mr.. Beck did you do that?"
Beck refused to answer nd
based his refusal on his chal-

On Aqubo Passage
BY EARL II. VOSS

Secretary of State Dulles to.
day questioned Egypt's right arbi

Emergency Forces out of Gazs
and the Gulf of ACADIA area.
At his news conference today
Mr.. Dulles said that once Egypt.
consent To the Stationing Of
UNEF troops in Egypt was giver
a good case could be made thai
the consent cannot be arbitrarily
withdrawn,
1t is the United States view
Mr. Dulles declared that unit
UNEF's purpose of establishing
tranquility in the Egypt-Israe
area has been ACCOMPLISHED
Egypt cannot arbitrarily order
the international force out.
The United States favorS sta
tioning United Nations forces or
both sides of the Egypt -Israe
armiStice line. Israel has repeat.
edly opposed allowing foreign
troops on Israeli territory.
Wants Court Opinion
The Secretary of State re-
ported he is studying means OF
obtaining an International Court
of Justice opinion on freedom OF
passage IN the Gulf of Aqaba
For the last eight years Egypt
has denied Israel right of pas
sage in the gulf
Mr.. Dulles said he now en-
visages requesting the United
Nations, either the Security
Council or the General Assembly
to seek an advisory opinion by
the World Court.
The secretary said he expects
the Suez Canal to be opened for
all but the largest ships in the
next couple of weeks. Vessels
UP to 10000 tons should be ad-
mitted within week or 10 days
he added Three fourths OF
previous Sue7 traffic was in TO-
000-ton class or smaller.
Smaller vessels now traversing
the canal are paying their tolls
to the Suez Canal authority. he
said. but the number of vessels
has not been so significant as
to establish a precedent.
No Instructions on Tolls
No instructions on the manne,
OF toll payments have been sent
TO American vessels. Secretary
Dulles said.
Egypt is understood to have re-
jected a proposal by the United
States. Britain, France and Nor
way that tolls be paid to the
World Bank and half OF them be
turned over to Egypt. the other
half being held for improvement
of the waterway and settlement
OF claims following nationalist
ton.
Most plans for developing al
ternatives TO the Suez Canal TO,
transporting oil are being made
by private interests. Mr.. Dulles
noted.
The possibility OF writing an
international treaty GUARANTEEING
use OF pipelines was discussed al
Bermuda, Mr.. Dulles reported
because private interests seek
protection for the huge invest
ments likely to be required.
There is reluctance on the
part of private investors to sup
port the pipeline unless they get
treaty protection, he said. The
Secretary said he maintains an
attitude OF cautious optimism

Senators Launch
Probe Of D. {.
Welfare Needs
Morse Will Back
Larger Federal
Payment to City

Three Senators today served
notice on a packed hearing room
that they are launching a full
investigation into how the Dis
trict takes care of its needy.
Chairman Morse of a Senate
District subcommittee which is
launching the investigation. an
rlounced at the same time that
he will fight for a larger Fed
eral contribution to the District
to help the city cope with its
welfare problems.
Senator Humphrey. Democrat
OF Minnesota, who joined the
session briefly because of his in
terest in providing surplus food
as a member of the Senate Ag-
riculture Committee, said moth
ing could be more immoral than
hunger in the Nations Capital.
If any child is without food
it is due to apathy. unbelievable
bureaucracy or indifference OF
public officials" Senator Hum
phrey declared.
To Broaden Probe
Senator Case, Republican of
New Jersey emphasized that the
investigation would be broader
than whether children should
have hot lunches and would fol-
low the welfare problem wher-
ever it leads.
All three Commissioners were
on hand to describe emergency
measures taken to deal with
hungry families. but to warn of
the cost they face in expanding
the welfare program.
Before they took the stand,
however, the committee drew a
specific picture of family needs
from Miss julie Bouchard, ex-
ecutive director of Barney Neigh
borhood House. Miss Bouchard
testified that the root of the
whole problem lies in supple
menting inadequate earnings.
which the Welfare Department
does not now do and in providing
adequate relief for families now
eligible for relief grants.
Child Cases Revealed
She told of a child who sleeps
in the settlement house doorway
because it is quiet there and
there are not enough beds at
home Of a child who confided
that he does not get milk be-
cause the baby needs it and of
bright youngsters who don't
want to grow up"
Senator Case wanted to know
specifically about the boy who
sleeps in the doorway. She re-
piled that he is one Of a family
OF nine children who are not
eligible for public assistance be-
cause there is a so-called STEP
father in the home who works
but does not provide enough.
Welfare Director Gerard NJ.
Shea, who took the stand later.
said he knew of the family and
that the breadwinner's income
was $50 a week. He explained
that the family is not eligible for
relief under a policy adopted in
January. 1855, that if there is a
man in the home, even though
not the real father, the family is
ineligible.
Plans Outlined
The Commissioners singly and
as group assured the commit
tee that they want no hungry
children. but they do not know
yet the size of the problem. All
Of them testified against putting
a hot lunch program in the ele-
mentary schools.
