SEATTLE, R - Charles F. Willis Jr., Alaska Airlines presi- dent, disclosed Monday that he and associates are in the process of buying working control of the company.
 The group is committed to buy, and is in the process of buying, 100000 shares of Alaska Airlines' common stock. Willis said, from Raymond w. Marshall, Green Wich, Conn.

 Price of the stock exchanging hands was said to have been set at $7 a share.
 When the deal is completed, probably about the end of this year, the Willis group will be the largest individual stockholders. There are 615,00O shares of Alas ka Airlines common stock out standing, Willis said.
 Marshall, retaining 45,00O shares of common stock, will be the sec ond largest stockholder. He is company director.
 Willis was said to be negotia- ting with several Seattle people to help bring control of the airline to the west, due to close Seattle interest in affairs of the 49th State, which A serves.

Lyndon Johnson Named To LIN. Delegation In Bi-Partisan Move
By SPENCER DAVIS

SEATTLE, R - The Admins tration's appointment of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson to the U. s. Delegation at the United Nations marks the start of a new and strongly bipartisan eff fort to ban military weapons from outer space.
 Secretary of State Dulles took time out from the Colombo Plan Ministerial Conference to an nounce Johnson's acceptance of the post.
 With President Eisenhower's S approval, Dulles said he had asked the Texas Senator who heads the Senate Space and Aeronautics Committee to make a statement to the U. N. General Assembly to- gether with Henry Cabot Lodge
 Dulles said Johnson was asked to serve in this role Gin order to make clear to the world how much all Americans agree on the inn portance of this subject"
 The Soviet Union also has a res olution before the U. N. on outer space but insists that it cannot give up control unless the United States abandons its foreign bases where long range missiles can be used against them.
 Authoritative sources pointed out that the Soviet Union also has missile bases which threaten Britain, France and West Germany as well as the United States.

The Alaska Visitors Association, as virtually every newspaper in Alaska has acknowledged, has all ready made great record in pro- moting a valuable tourist business for Alaska.
 2 Under the AVA, the value to Alaska of the tourist trade has grown to where it now is bringing about $50 millions of outside money into Alaska every year.
 Ernest Gruening, who was then governor, advocated the establish ment of the Visitors Association. Bill Egan introduced the bill in the Alaska Legislature. Mike Step ovich, then member of the House, voted AGAINST it. See page 580, official House Journal of 1851.

Dave Beck Used Non Taxable Union Funds

TACOMA, Wash, lR n Dave Beck's defense in his income tax evasion trial will be that he took n-taxable union funds "in ra- ther peculiar way" and became rich, his lawyers disclosed Mon day.
 Villain Dwyer, of Beck's team of defense attorneys, said in an opening statement to a federal court jury that the ex-boss of the Teamsters union got into trouble through sloppy" handling of union money.
 "But he did no wrong where his taxes were concerned" Dwyer said.
 Beck's long-awaited trial opened yesterday in U. s. District Court and jury of eight men and four women was seated with unex- pected speed.
 The one-time Seattle laundry truck driver, who rose to one of the nations most powerful labor posts, is charged with defrauding the government out of $240,00O in income taxes for the years 1950-53.
 Dwyer told the jury that when Beck takes the stand he will show he took $38O,OOO in Team sters funds over a period of years, invested the money and eventu- ally repaid it IL becoming wealthy in the process.
 He said the 64-year-old Beck treated the union money as a loan, but the defense lawyer did not directly call it a loan.
 Beck took the money in a ra- ther peculiar way -. an informal way, and it was. this informality that got him into this difficulty. These were the dealings of self-confident, self-educated man. This is what brought about the well-known downfall of MT. Beck" Dwyer said.
 The $380,000 figured promin- ently in questioning of Beck at Senate Packets Investigating Con- mittee hearings. The committee later accused Beck of hving stolen the money. The portly labor lead CT invoked the Fifth Amendment before the committee but said in a televiSed interview here prior to his committee appearance that he borrowed the money and paid it back.
 Assistant U. s. Attorney Jack Obenour, directing the govern ment's case, read a 21-page state ment to the jury in which he said the source of Beck's money is not at issue, only his taxes.
 Obenour said the government will use the net-worth method to prove Beck cheated on his tax returns showing that he, became steadily richer over the years but his tax returns failed to reflect it.
 Beck, reputed to be million aire. acquired much of his wealth by investing in Seattle real estate. His $50,000 annul salary as presi- dent of the TeamsterS Union was continued fter his retirement last year. IN

This gay decor could all

The reason for all the win

hover entertained at q lunch
con today in honor of Sem

afternoon she was hostess
at a tea for Representatives

Poses for Picture

Just after the scheduled

photographers, realizing that
this was their first oppor-
tunity to get a shot of Mrs.

wrap since her stay at the

resort, asked her to pose
again-this time alone.
The "just one more" boys
didn't reveal their motive.
However. they didn't put
anything over on the Pres

the request.

Then motioning to her waist

Don't you think it's good?"
The Presidents wife re-
portedly has lost S pounds

may have lost more. OBJ

as her waiStline.
Mrs. Eisenhower chatted
with the women she had
posed with about their prof.

incidentally the First Lady
was right in step with the
decor of the White House at
the tea yesterday.
She wore an emerald green
chiffon brocade afternoon
dress fashioned with a long
torso and pleated skirt plus
matching shoes.
Her two strand necklace
was of pearls, green beads
and rhineStones and she also
wore matching bracelet and
earrings. On her third finger,

she met her guests in the

The congressional wives had
a sight to behold in the dec

The chandeliers in the

state dining room were hung
with clusters of shamrocks
and the four marble pillars
