Contempt action urged in Beck case by senators
Senate Rackets Committee leader McClellan orders contempt proceedings against Dave Beck Jr and Joseph McEvoy after their repeated Fifth Amendment refusals about ties to the Teamsters payroll. Beck Jr invoked the Fifth 130 times, McEvoy 90, as McClellan warns of danger to law enforcement if courts uphold the privilege. The panel expects a contempt citation and Senate approval, with possible prosecution by the Justice Department and penalties up to two years in jail and $100,000 fine.
