Dave Beck’s Trial For
Tax Evasion Continues
TACOMA, Wash., UPi — Ex
Teamsters Union President Dave
Beck told newsmen yesterday he
took $798 of union funds to con
struct an awning over his patio
because he used the area to en
tertain union personnel.
The 64-year-old labor leader’s
corridor comment came after gov
ernment attorneys had introduced
evidence showing that amount
taken from a Teamsters’ legal
fund at the same time the awning
was purchased.
The government continued to
present testimony concerning.
Beck’s purchSses in an effort to
prove that his tax returns for
1950-53 did not represent his true
income. Beck is charged specifi
cally with the evasion of $240,000
in income taxes.
Beck’s grocer, Percy Peters,
told the federal court jury the
union president’s food bill rose
from $1,871 in 1950 to $2,238 in
1953.
Asst. U. S. Atty. Jack Obenour
then introduced evidence to show
that some of the bills had been
paid by Fred Verschueren Sr.,
auditor for the Western Confer
ence of Teamsters.
Verschueren has been charged
with conspiring with Beck to
avoid payment of Beck’s income
tax. He is scheduled to be tried
later.
Other witnesses testified about
numerous improvements Beck
made to his luxurious Sheridan
Beach home located on the shores
of Seattle’s Lake Washington.
