Dave Beck Jr. and !
Two Others Get
Subpoena Orders
SEATTLE, Iff)—Dave Beck Jr. j
and two other men who have j
been sought for some time by the .
Senate Rackets Investigating
Committee have received their j
official orders to contact the com- j
mittee “forthwith.”
Beck Jr. was handed his sub
poena at a truck welding com
pany after an anonymous tipster
informed the U.S. marshal’s office !
he would be found there. Young '
Beck dodged into a men’s room j
after seeing the paper-servers but
they went in after him.
“About time you found me”
the portly and balding son of the
head of the Teamsters Union said.
“I wondered what took you so
long.”
A short while later, Joseph E.
McEvoy, who is married to a ;
niece of Dave Beck Sr., dropped
in at the marshal’s office and ac
cepted service.
Thgn, the deputies were ad
vised that Fred Verschueren Sr., j
last of the trio and an auditor for J
the Western Conference of Team
sters, was a patient at a hospital. 1
He got his, too.
Another Beck family relative,
Norman Gessert, a cousin of Mrs.
Dave Beck Sr., was caught by
subpoena servers two weeks ago
in Ellensburg, Wash., and provid
ed the committee with an
uniliuminating appearance two
weeks ago.
He and the others have been
sought for questioning aoout
whether they have acted as a
front for Beck Sr. in numerous
business and real estate deals.

Stepovich Asks
Referendum With
General Election
FAIRBANKS, UP) — Gov.-|desig
nate Mike Stepovich proposed
Friday that any referendum to
show whether Alaskans want
statehood, be held as part of a
general election at which voters
also would choose their congres
sional and state officials.
Stepovich, in a telegram to Rep.
Miller CR-Neb), made the sugges
tion in commenting on an amend- j
ment to the statehood bill ap- !
proved Friday by the House Ter- J
ritories subcommittee.
Stepovich said if the amend-1
ment is “the will of Congess,” and j
is included in the final version of
the statehood bill, “as governor J
I will carry out the provisions of
the law as expeditiously as pos
sible and will call for a special
election.”
However, the 36-year-old law
yer who is expected to take his
oath as governor in two weeks,
said “Alaskans have twice before
convincingly expressed their op
inions on this question at the1
polls.”
He cited the 1946 referendum
election and the 1956 balloting
which approved the proposed
Alaska constitution and adopted
the Alaska - Tennessee plan to j
fight the statehood campaign.
Stepovich said he felt inclusion :
of the proposed referendum as
part of the general election of j
congressional and first state of
ficials would be “satisfying the
will of Congress and at (the) same
time avoiding expenditure of tax
payers’ funds which I consider an
unnecessary expense.”
Stepovich sent copies of the I
telegram to Delegate Bartlett and
to Reps. Engle (D-Calif> and
Saylor (R-Pa>.

j Zinc-Lead Mine j
On Takn River
I Will Be Closed
JUNEAU, UP>—The Consolidated j
Mining and Smelting Co. of Can- !
ada reportedly plans to close its
zinc and lead mine at Tulsequah.
The mine, near the Alaska
Canada border on the Taku river
50 miles east of Juneau, now em- i
ploys about 300 men in year- (
round mining operations. Work i
reportedly will continue this
summer, with the mine closing
this fall.
Floyd Guertin president of ihe
Juneau Chamber of Commerce,
j said the company blamed the
| planned shutdown on declining
j market prices for zinc.
In addition to zinc and lead,
I the mine also has produced some
! copper and gold.
I Cominco officials in Vancou
ver and Trail were not avail
able for comment on the report.
The officials earlier were re- !
ported concerned over a proposal I
placed before -President Eisen
hower by Felix Wormser, assist
ant Secretary of the Interior. It
would increase the U.S. tariff on
imports of lead and zinc.
Cominco general manager R.
Perry said:
“It’s too early to comment, but
i any increase in lead and zinc tar
l iffs would be serious.”
