 For a number of valley resi- dents the rodeo brought back fond memories of rodeos in the States flor others thrills of the rodeo were seen for the first time Tn spite of the terrific bucking done by many of the broncs and the many serious-ap- bearing spills made by the cow boys, no serious injuries were received A sprained ankle, and broken collar bone led the cas- ualty list. Bob Hazelwood, one of the riders who ended up in the top money, not only went through the arena fence on his charging and bucking bronc, but landed beneath the horse and es- capped with no more than a short ness of breath. Three events lat CT he was back in there spurring his mount to add more points to his score.

Royal Couples
In Scandinavia

COPENHAGEN, May 81 (R.-
Scandinavia got a double dose Of
royal visitors today.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince
Philip arrived in Copenhagen
aboard their royal yacht Britain
mia for a three day state visit to
Denmark and a few days Of
vacation after.
A royal Dutch naval squadron
brought Queen Juliana and
Prince Bernhard to Stockholm,
also for a three-day visit.
In both ports guns doomed
salutes. jets screamed overhead
and thousands packed the water
side and the streets to cheer.
But the bright blue sky above
Juliana and Stockholm was con-
siderably more CHEEKY than the
biting winds and dull gray over
head that awaited the British
monarch.
It was the third official visit of
the year for Elizabeth. Earlier
she had captivated Lisbon and
Paris.
Despite an attack of lumbago
which left him wan and tired,
King Frederik TX and Queen
Ingrid boarded their royal barge
to bring the visiting British
couple ashore and then drove
them in a horsedrawn carriage
through cheering crowds to
Frederik's Amalienborg Castle.
Elizabeth broke into a warm
smile when l7-year-old Princess
Margrethe. heir presumptive to
the Danish thrown, kissed her on
the cheek.

him guilty Of gross misuse of
union funds entrusted to his
care"
The 62-year-old labor leader
appeared at the council meeting
but refused to answer charges
that he had misused more than
100000 of Transfers funds
for his personal benefit. The
charges grew out of disclosures
by the Senate committee inves-
tigating improper activities in
labor-management relations.
Misused Funds. Probe Told
The Senate group has charged
that Beck took, rather than
borrowed" as he claims, the
union funds for his own use.
In its decision, the AFL-CIO
council said:
Whether Beck stole the funds
or borrowed them. the record
shows he took advantage Of his
position as a trade union official
to use money belonging to dues
paying members for his own per-
sonal gain and profit"
Beck remained silent on his
expulsion. But some other Team
sters officials were quick to speak
out.
Meeting Expected Soon
William A. Lee Of Chicago, an
international vice president and
member of the unions executive
board. was reported as saying.
"As far as I am concerned. Dave
Beck is through with the Team
Sters."
Mr.. Lee, 61-year-old president
Of the Chicago Federation Of

unions Executive Board would
meet shortly to consider the
Beck situation. and adding, IT
believe that Beck will submit his
resignation at that time"
