Beck Junior Silent Like Father at Senate Rackets Probe
Washington AP Dave Beck Jr declined to answer questions before the Senate rackets committee, invoking the Fifth Amendment 130 times, as contempt proceedings were ordered against him and Joseph Mevoy of Seattle. The probe targets alleged misuse of more than $370,000 of Teamsters funds by Dave Beck Sr. and associates. The panel will seek contempt citations to send the cases to the Justice Department. The session adjourned as the Bakers Union inquiry loomed, with Kennedy pressing for answers on salaries, expenses, and personal purchases funded by union money.

Byrd Sees Budget Cuts Amid High Spending
Senator Byrd of Virginia predicted the economy campaign will force President Eisenhower to trim his next budget despite high overall spending. He chairs the Senate Finance Committee and expects significant reductions in Eisenhower's January 73 billion dollar new money requests, though funds already available may blunt large cuts. Fellow Finance member Kerr suggested about 2% billion could be shaved, but the impact on total outlays remains uncertain as Congress has already sent a Commerce Department funding bill totaling 597,790,225 dollars.
