Becks Kinsman Fails to Appear Before Senate Rackets Panel
Washington UPI Norman Gessert, kin of Teamsters President Dave Beck, failed to appear for a Senate Rackets Committee hearing after arriving in Washington but missing the 11:15 a.m. CDT session. Kennedy said Gessert sought time to confer with an attorney before testifying as the committee planned to recall Beck for questioning on charges of using union power for private profit. The panel also sought other missing witnesses, including Beck Jr., reportedly across the border in Vancouver, and is investigating Beck and his ally Nathan Shefferman for large union-related payments and tax issues.
