Senate Aid Claims Beck Stole Funds From Union
An insurance official testified Beck did not list loans of over 300000 from the Teamsters Union in 1951 financial statements. Kennedy said the money appeared stolen, not borrowed, as evidence suggested Beck misused at least 220000 for union funds. A Seattle broker disclosed handling over a million dollars in Teamster insurance in four years. Burke said Beck had a 273000 personal loan repaid before the statement was returned.
