Beck defies Senate panel with long Fifth Amendment stance
James Marlow reports on David Beck refusing to fully cooperate with a Senate investigation into Teamsters funds. Beck cites the Fifth and Fourth Amendments and offers a lengthy, repetitive statement while committee leaders weigh contempt implications. The piece notes a $1 million union loan to Frushauf Trailer Corp. and Kennedy’s questions about Beck’s tax and payments to Canadian broadcasting interests. The Canadian commission proposals urge tighter rules for private stations, greater Canadian programming, and CBC funding, while preserving mixed ownership and warning against nationalization.
