Mr.. Dickey said the plot was

II never handle any criminal
work and I can't understand
anyone trying to settle a law
suit in this manner" he said.
Mr.. Dickey was referring to
a suit for $500, 1000 Mr.. Laris filed
against the association after he
lost the contract for construc-
ton Of the tropical raceway.
II have met Mr.. Laris six or
eight times in negotiations or in
taking dispositions involving the
lawsuit, but I certainly never
expected anything like this" he
added.

LariS, in the suit in Federal
Court in San Juan, contended
the present association owed him
the money . for earth-moving
done before he agreed to step
out as contractor and as a mem
Der Of the association. The pres

that Laris owed them $4,000.

Halikas and Laris have police
records. According to Miami po-
lice, Halikas was convicted of
attempted grand larceny in 1929
in New York State. Laris, police
said, was sentenced to a year
in prison in Pennsylvania in 1945
on a lottery conviction. LARS is
formerly Of Beaver Falls, Pa.
Mr.. Dickey said LARS got into
the San Juan race track picture
in 1854 when his Universal
Trades. Inc, contracted to build
the raceway at cost plus is per
cent. When it appeared that the
venture would fail, a new group
OF investors, headed by Mr.. Click
stein, stepped in in March, 1855.
The track was completed and has
been in operation several months.
Mr.. Gerstein said the alleged
plot was zone of the most fan

pened around here"
Mr.. Dickey said one of his first
reactions was disbelief and when
he thought about someone hiring
an assassin to kill him he got
damned angry"
Mr.. Dickey, the father of four
children, once was considered a
strong candidate for District
Commissioner. The 40-year-old
lawyer also served as chief coun-
sci for the Senate Small Business
Committee and was prominent in
the nomination of Presi-
dent Eisenhower at the Chicago
Republican convention in 1852.

fetal who died in 1856, Mr.. Ken
|nedy accused the Teamster boss
OF violating his trust in two par
ticulars: In taking a profit in
the transaction when he was the
funds trustee and in lending
some ST. 900 from the Transfers
treasury to himself so that he
could buy the mortgages which
ultimately were sold to the Le-
heney fund. Beck is a trustee OF
the Transfers Union pension
fund.
The committee counsel asked
Mr.. Hedlund whether he thought
that either his or Beck's conduct
IN connection with the Leheney
fund was "unethical" or "im-
proper" The witness replied in
the negative.
Then for Mr.. Hedlund's edi-
fication, Mr.. Kennedy read the
following excerpt from a volume
of American Jurisprudence:
"A trustee is at all times dis
abled from obtaining any per-
sonal benefit. advantage or gain
or profit out Of his administra-
ton of the trust. his dealing with
the trust property, or his rela-
ton to the trust estate Mo-
thing in the law of fiduciary
trusts is better settled than that
the trustee shall not be allowed
to advantage himself in dealings
with the trust estate"
Beck Issues Statement
While the hearing was in prog
ress. Beck said in a statement
delivered to the Senate press
gallery, that his program for in
vesting the Transfers funds has
produced q growing steady

He said he had cleared with

Teamster investments through
The National Mortgage Co., in
which his wife's nephew held a
one-third interest.
When he testified before the
Senate committee Beck declined
to answer questions about his
handling Of the unions finances,
asserting that truthful answers
might tend to incriminate him.
Beck's statement said that
when he took over as president
the net yield on the Transfers
investment as of December 81,
1852 was 2.5 per cent. He said
ut has risen steadily and that as
of March 81 this year it was 4.06
per cent.

dictate that our investment pro-
gram has been and is among the
most successful to be found in

Tight Money
Sale Of
Treasury Notes
BY the Associated Press

The Treasury's latest effort
to refinance the national debt
finds the Government caught in
the same tight-money pinch
that has other segments Of the
economy hollering uncle"
The Treasury yesterday took
a preliminary peek at the re-
suits Of its offer last week to
exchange more than 81 billion in
|1ss per cent notes sold in 1854
and maturing next Wednesday.
What it found, wasn't unex-
|pected. but 1t wasn't exactly
what was hoped for. either.
Although the proffered H.
month certificates at 31a per
cent and the 57-month notes
lat 3ss per cent carry the highest
Government interest rate since
the bank holiday Of 1888. when
|it hit 4.259 per cent, the new
issue was only ~ per cent sub
|scribed.
Must Pay on Notes
In other words, % per cent
of the holders Of the 1854 notes
didn't want to exchange them
for new Government securities
they wanted cash.. This means
the Treasury next week must
dig into its reserves and pay
of about $1.167. 000.00 Of the
maturing notes.
Ever since the new issue was
last week Treasury
officials have been saying they
expected an attrition rate, Of
about IS per cent. with a cash
payoff in the neighborhood of
81 billion. They explained that
most Of the maturing notes are
held by corporations and that
the corporations have earmarked
them for their June tax pay
ments.
This Is part Of the answer. but
only part. Another important
factor Is that the demand for
money outruns the supply in the
lending market. Banks are not
too interested in lending to the
Government-despite the secur-
ity-if they can get better rates
elsewhere.
May Force Rates Up
This two-way squeeze may
force the Government to offer
even higher interest rates to meet
the competition. That. in turn,
will boost the price the Govern
ment must pay each year as in
terest on the national debt. Right
now. with the national debt
around $274 billion, the interest
on 1t comes to some SIS billion
annually.
Treasury officials do not expect
the billion dollar payon to put
the Treasury in a squeeze. The
cash reserve now Is about IS bill
lion. The Treasury, in effect,
will pay OF 81 billion Of the ma
tional debt from these reserves.
