Beck Goes on Trial for Tax Evasion in Tacoma
Beck faces trial in Tacoma on charges of evading 240000 in income taxes for 1950 through 1953. His conviction followed two weeks after his son Dave Jr. was found guilty of grand larceny for pocketing 4650 from the sale of two union owned Cadillacs. Judge Revelle presided over both Beck cases. The King County grand jury indicted the Teamsters chief and his son last summer as the Senate rackets committee probes Beck's handling of union funds and misappropriation claims. Senator McClellan accuses Beck of diverting over 300000 of Teamsters money for personal use.
