Rackets Probe Is In Recess Until Tuesday Teamster President Dave Beck Returns Sunday From Europe WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senate Rackets Investigating Committee has found evidence of ties between union officials and underworld characters, but no evidence racketeers infiltrated the AFL-CIO Teamsters Union itself, a committee member said today. Sen. Pat McNamara (D-Mich), a former official of the Steamfitters Union, said hearings so far have not turned up “too much" ot a link between the Temasters and the Portland, Ore., underworld. The committee, in recess today, began a new stage of its waiting game with Teamster" "President Dave Beck. No Subpena Issued Beck, traveling under the name of “Mr. David,” flew into* New York from Europe Sunday and sped by plane to his home in Seattle. Wash., evading all questions as to whether he will appear before the committee. Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark), committee chairman, said on being informed of Beck's return, “I assume he will get in touch with the committee soon.” Robert F. Kennedy, committee counsel, said no subpena has been prepared for Beck and the committee is waiting for him to turn over his ’“personal financial” records as requested three weeks ago. Carey Blasts Beck The committee wants to see Beck's records, and eventually question him, about charges involving his $160,000 home near Seattle and allegations of racket links of his biggest-in-the-nation union. The Teaifister chief was the target of another blast Sunday by AFL-CIO Vice President James B. Carey. Carey said Beck has brought the trade union movement "into disgrace” by “tolerating" corruption within his union. Carey said Beck does not comply with the AFL-CIO constitution, its code of ethics or its anti-raid-ing policy, and does , not respect the rights of other unions. He said labor is “going to be smeared" by the committee hearings, but added he does not believe the group is “intentionally" doing this.

Eight Nations Open Australian Parley Dulles Speaks At Meeting Os SEATO CANBERRA, Australia (UP) - Secretary of John Foster Dulles told the opening session of the eight-nation Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) Council today that Communism imposed on the peoples of Asia is a “passing and not a permanent phase." Wbrld Communism itself is “but a transient if painful episode in the history of mandkind,” he said. But he said the Soviets have persistently sought to foment trouble and the SEATO nations must remain on guard. He said the United States is determined to respond to its security pact obligations and "the determination is backed by power.” Observers said the United States was expected to propose at this third SEATO meeting that the organization be enlarged to include such nations as South Viet Nam, Ceylon and Burma and with larger contributions to the organization by the member nations. South Viet Nam is bound by the Geneva agreements which would limit any participation in SEATO. Ceylon and Burma previously rejected approaches to join the organization. Dulles reviewed SEATO achievements in southeast Asia and added: “We need, however, also to look beyond the confines of our own treaty area. Events elsewhere have been dramatic and instructive. Since we last met it has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that the materialistic rule of Communism will never meet the aspirations with which human beings are endowed by their Creator.” Juvenile Confesses Breakins At Geneva A statement by $ 15-year-old boy to local law enforcement officers has cleared the breakin at Bailey Service Station m Geneva last Tuesday. The boy has admitted entering the station and taking a small sum of money, along with some shotgun shells.

The two youths, who were involved in an escapade several days ago when they obtained gasoline from a Fort Wayne service station and left without paying for it, have appeared in juvenile court. Their case has been continued.

Plan Prosecution Os Shady Slock Dealers Says Americans Are Becoming Suckers WASHINGTON (IF — The government is preparing criminal prosecutions against shady stock dealers who are trailing on a get-rich-quick mood in the current stock market, it was disclosed today. The information was contained in testimony by J. Sinclair Armstrong, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, before a House Appropriations subcommittee Feb. 7. The testimony was made public today. Armstrong said Americans are becoming suckers for phony stock deals just as they were in the boom days of the 1920 s and there is a “tremendous" increase in the amount of fraud. “There is an atmosphere in the country today which I think has not existed since 1928, that you can get rich in the stock market," Armstrong testified. "People are in the mood to be gullible . . . there have been great losses sustained.*" He said the SEC has obtained a number of injunctions against shady stock dealers and is preparing criminal cases against some. He did not mention specific cases. Armstrong said his agency also has launched a campaign to warn the public against being made a “sucker” by what he called “high pressure telephone sales."
