Affairs Directed
BY CECIL HOLLAND

The AFL-CIO Executive Coun-
Gil today suspended Teamster
President Dave Beck as vice
president Of the organization
and member of the council and
directed that charges be filed
against him.
George Meany. president of
the AFL-CIO, said the charges
would involve his actions in
bringing labor into disrepute and
failure to answer many charges
against him."
The suspension of Beck was
immediate pending disposition of
the charges. Mr.. Meany an
nounced that the Executive
Council would hol da special
meeting here May 20 on the
charges.
The executive council also in
structed its ethical practices

In a related action, the council
Mr.. Meany announced, directed
that meeting of the secre-
taries. auditors and accountants
of the various international
unions be called to work out
standard procedures" on ac-
counting to safeguard union
funds.
Mr.. Meany said all the actions
were by unanimous vote.
Twenty-one members of the
28-member council were present.
Mr. Meany said he had talked
with some of the absent men,
berS and they had indicated
they were convinced action
should be taken in the Beck
case.
Mr. Meany was grim and I'M
smiling. He chomped on his
cigar as he came down from
the council room on the eighth
floor Of the AFL-CIO headquar-
tiers building on Sixteenth street
to report the actions to reporters
gathered in a first floor confer
ence room. n
The union president called the
council meeting last Tuesday

replied:

Consequently, the actual cutback
for capital outlay is more nearly
in the neighborhood of SAG

Largest actual reductions were
made under the category of pub

ing a total of Sl0.4 million for
this purpose.
The District Commissioners at
the request of the Appropriations
Subcommittee headed by Chair

inal capital outlay requests by
Sl.8 million. The committee
made other cuts also amounting
to $l8 million.
Principal Reductions
Principal reductions suggested
by the Commissioners and APP

cans and some Democrats from
Southern States showed no sign
of giving up hope of chopping
many more millions from the bill
today.
Another Cut Voted
During the last three after
moons the House has voted ten
tative reductions totaling Sl68
million besides the Sll8.7 million
which It's Appropriations Com
mittee slashed from amounts
asked by President Eisenhower
for the two departments. About
Sl5.5 million of the Sl6.8 million

BY DON S. WARREN

The House Appropriations
Committee today took big ak
to the Districts spending pro-
gram for the year beginning
July /.
AS reported today, it:
l. Topped off nearly SIS mil
lion from the proposed S207
million budget.
2. Cut So million from the
Federal payment authorized in
March. 1856. when taxes were
boosted here.
3. Called for total outlay Of
1925 million. which is S5.7 mil
lion below appropriations for the
current fiscal year.
$50 Million Payment Set
As the bill will go to the House
for action next Tuesday. it will
propose Federal payment Of
$50 million, although the law au-
thorizes a Federal share of S23
million.
The bill as reported carried out
recommendations made by a sub
committee headed by Represent
ative Rabaut, Democrat Of
Michigan.
Cuts were distributed all along
the line. as was expected when
the publication OF the House
hearings for District officials
showed that at the very outset
Chairman Rabaut laid down the
law that District officials should
come UP with proposed cuts.
1t figures out TO be an overall
cut Of about z per cent.
There is some accounting
legerdermain involved in all Of
this. however. because about half
Of the total cut is merely a
transfer from a direct charge
against the District to District
credits under the Federal aid
program of highway programs,
which VIII not be lost in the
shuttle.
School Funds Mostly Intact
On the plus side. the bill car
ries most OF the funds included
in the budget for the public
schools and for the Welfare De-
partment. Just how many ex-
ira teachers this would permit
was not detailed in the report
of the Rabaut subcommittee, but
as promised earlier by Chair
man Rabaut, an advance was
made in the attack on the prob
lem of diversified classes.
For the public schools. the pro-
posed budget called for an out
lay Of 1917 million. The HOUSE
committee recommended APP
prevail Of S371 million, a reduce
ton Of only $4,000.
In this connection the COM
mittee reports said the admin
istrative officials Of the schools
during the hearings offered
reduction of STOP 900 in their es-
Inmates for stating and operat-
ing costs due TO a delay in the
construction schedules of various
schools.

school population increases and

President Asks
For Amendment
On Disability
=
Legislators Hear
Constitutional Plan
For Succession

President Eisenhower and At
torney General Brownell today
urged congressional leaders to
start action on a constitutional
amendment which would provide
specific steps TO be taken in
event of the disability of a
President.
In an hour-long meeting with
II ranking members of both
parties and both houses of Con-
gresS, Mr.. Eisenhower spoke
of his concern over a problem
which he said affects the welfare
of the country. He wanted an
amendment. he said. so the
matter could be settled once and
for all.
Such an amendment, embody-
ing the administrators views
will be submitted TO the House
Judiciary Committee on Mon
day. when Mr.. Brownell appears
before that body.
Must Write Request
According to Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty. the amend
ment would provide that when
the President feels ne is incap-
able of continuing in the Job he
VIII signify that fact in writ
ing and the Vice President will
take over on an acting basis
until the President, AGAIN in
writing. signifies his wish TO re-
turn TO active service.
In event the President is
incapable of making such a de-
ciSion. the decision would be
made for him by a meeting OF
the Vice President and the cab
met. Mr.. Hagerty explained.
Either the Vice President or a
cabinet member could initiate
the meeting. but action to re-
lieve the President of his duties
would have to De taken by the
Vice President and the majority
OF the cabinet.
Won't Affect Eisenhower
Mr. Hagerty said it was not
the administrations intention
that the constitutional amend
ment should apply to President
Eisenhower. The press secretary
referred to an early statement
by the President to the effect
that it was probably too late
now to get a constitutional
amendment ratified by 36 States
before his term expires January
20. 1861,
Both Mr. Hagerty and congress
sional leaders said there was
general agreement on the neces-
sity for some sort of emergency
procedure. either IN the form of
constitutional amendment or
Slmple legislation.
A sharp dissent to this gen
eral agreement" was entered bv
Speaker Rayburn. Democrat of
Texas, who said tartly after the
meeting:
Il think Just the same as I
have thought all the time-I
don't think much OF it. 1t be-
comes a question of who is going

ident is physically or mentally

position either to an amendment
or law seemed, in the view of
many political observers. to put
an effective obstacle in the way
of any action being taken along
this line.

crat of New York, an advocate
of legislation but not OF a con-
amendment, said the
