On something like this, I think it takes more guts to quit than stay on.” Under the rules of the show, based roughly on the card game, “blackjack,” Van Doren can remain on as a contestant as long as he feels he con continue to beat off challengers.

Dave Beck Opposes Policy Os Council Head Os Teamsters In Defiant Refusal MIAMI BEACH Bl - F i e r y President Dave Beck of the Teamsters refused defiantly today to gc along with the AFL-CIO executive council’s stand against union leaders' use of the Fifth Amendmenl at congressional inquiries. Union leaders remained silent on Beck’s opposition to the council policy and there were indications the matter would not be brought up at today's session of the council’s annual mid-winter me ting. There was speculation the council would leave the matter as it is unless Beck's union flagrantly defies the council ultimatum. At the opening session Monday, the council adopted a stern policy calling on union officials to speak up “freely and without reservation” during a congressional inquiry into labor racketeering. The statement, drafted by AFLCIO President George Meany and opposed by only one council member, reported to be Beck, said officials who use the Fifth Amendment as a dodge to avoid investigation or coverup corruption have "no right to continue to hold of-

House Accepts Plan On Fund Transfer Transfer Os Korean Bonus For Schools INDIANAPOLIS W — The Indiana House voted today to accept a Senate plan to transfer nearly five million dollars from the Korean bonus fund to a school building construction fund. By a voice vote, the House adopted a motion by majority leader Robert S. Webb that its previous rejection of the amendment be reconsidered. The bill containing the amendment now goes. to Governor Handley. Handley was expected to sign or veto within the next 24 hours, since the bill was aimed primarily at nullifying a Jan. 31 date set by the 1955 Legislature for transfer of the bonus fund balance to the building fund for loans to school corporations. House Republicans decided on the action in a caucus. Democrats previously tried to get the same action on the House floor, but the move was tabled. The issue previously was sent to a conference committee. The controversy waxed even hotter this morning when Republican majority members of the House tabled a Democratic motion to reconsider House rejection of a Senate amendment calling for the immediate transfer of nearly 5 million dollars from the bonus fund to a school building construction fund. Fast action was needed in the Legislature to keep the entire 15 million dollar balance in the bonus fund from being transferred to the school fund. A 1955 law set Jan. 31, 1957, as the date to transfer the balance. Legislators then believed th< bonus would be fuHy paid by that date, now only two days away. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans proposed changing the bonus law to pay Korean combat veterans a flat S2OO bonus, regardless of length of service. The present

law contains a sliding scale giving more money to veterans with the longest service. The plan was part of a compromise being studied as a conference committee sought to iron out differences of opinion before the transfer deadline. House members rejected the Senate amendment last week on grounds a transfer of nearly five million dollars might deplete the bonus fund so greatly there would be too little left to pay off eligible veterans. It was considered probable at that time that the conference committee would work out a compromise lowering the amount of the transfer so the bonus fund would not be jeopardized. This morning, House minority leader Birch Bayh of Terre Haute moved the House reconsider its stand on the Senate amendment. Rep. Robert Webb of Arcadia, GOP majority floor leader, moved promptly to table Bayh’s motion and the House adopted Webb’s motion by voice vote. Bayh and Webb argued privately in front of the speaker’s rostrum and a GOP caucus was called to discuss the situation. -—, - - ---
