NEW YORK. May l6 P1.-
Coincidence Martha Raye was
rushed to a hospital from her
home early today and given
emergency treatment for an un-
disclosed ailment.
Friends said the 40-year- old
entertainer had simply gone to
the hospital for a few days
rest. but two newspapers. the
New York Post and the New York
Journal : American. said they
learned she had suffered heart
attack.
Miss Raye was carried on a
stretcher from her suite in the
Park Sheraton Hotel about 5
am. and taken by private ambu-
lance TO Doctors Hospital.
Hospital officials declined
comment, but 1t was learned she
was placed in an oxygen tent.
Her personal manager. Nick
Condos. said 1t was simply for
a checkup. Asked why anyone
would go TO the hospital in such
a fashion for a routine exam
ination. Mr.. Condos said; Miss
Raye is an extraordinary woman
who may enjoy being taken to

In the past. the park officials

A House District subcommittee

a dispute oyer whether bridge

costs of approach roads needed

Gessert E|udes Probe,
Special Quiz Put off
KeyWtness
In Bookcase
Sees Lawyer
By WILLIAM HINES
and CECIL HOLLAND

Elusive Norman Gessert, one
OF Dave Beck's kin, remained
elusive on his arrival here today
for questioning by Senate inves-
tigators.
Gessert was supposed to report
directly to the Senate Rackets
Committee, but went instead to
the Transfers Union headquar-
tiers to confer with his attorney.
The committee after waiting
futilely for more than half an
hour to start a hastily scheduled
special hearing to question
GesSert, postponed the meeting.
The committee then announced
that a hearing to question Beck
himself will begin at 2:30 pm.
Forthwith" Subpoena
The special session had been
called for 1915 pm. on the
assumption that Gessert. in
response to a forthwith" sub
poena issued by the committee.
would come Immediately to the
committees quarters in the
Senate Office Building.
He failed to show up. The
committee. with WMAL tele-
vision set to record the hearing.
stood by awaiting his appearance.
Gessert was one of four miss
ing witnesses, including Dave
Beck. jr., long sought by the
committee for questioning about
Beck's affairs. He was located
in Washington State this week
and subpoenaed for his appear
ance here today. The other
witnesses are still being
sought.
Exercise in Futility
The other two are Joseph Nc
Evoy, and Fred Verschueren.
McEvoy and Gessert are kins-
men of Beck's wife. Verschueren
is West Coast auditor for the
Transfers Union.
The committee obviously re-
garc>d the resumption of ques-
tioning Of Beck this afternoon
as an exercise in futility. He has
taken the Fifth Amendment
against possible self-incrimina-
ton more than $50 times in
previous appearances. and there
was no indication he would
change his attitude today.
However. the committee has
received new testimony and evil
dence of Beck'ssunion and extra
curricular activities, and has
called him back to the stand to
give the union boss an oppor-
tunity to answer if he chooses.
Evidence on Rakeoff
One of the new bits of evidence
confronting Beck is the story Of
his part in the acquisition of land
at rs Louisiana avenue NV. the
site Of the Transfers palatial
