Warns Against Defense Cut and Beck Loans Airing
In Washington on May 15 an insurance official testified that Dave Beck did not list loans of 300000 plus from the Teamsters Union in a 1951 financial statement. Kennedy suggested the money was stolen, not borrowed, as the Senate committee alleges Beck used at least 320000 of union funds. Burke of Occidental Life testified Beck requested the return of the 1951 financial statement five minutes before close, noting a 1951 loan funded by the union and a personal loan to Beck and his wife.
