Ike to Talk On Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON, May 20 (IP)—
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
reportedly satisfied with the, im
pact made, by his defense of the
budget last week, drafted another
radio-TV speech today in supportl
of his $3,880,000,000 foreign aid
program-

Asks for New Taxes
In this case Monet is asking for
new taxes and a cut in non-mili
tary expenditures to provide about
$1,140,000 annually to continue
the campaign against Arab na
tionalists in Algeria.
If it were pust a fiscal ques
tion, the Independent Republi
cans would probably vote against
Mollet. They may do so anyway.
But the program is tied to France's
efforts to retain control of Alge
ria—an issue the Independent Re-1

Monet Gains Victory
A by-election in Lyon yesterday
to fill the Assembly seat vacated
by the recent death of 'Edouard

thought. • The returns showed
slight gains for two parties in
Mollet's coalition -and a setback
for his three bitterest enemies—
the followers of former Premier

Union Chiefs
Remove Beck
From Office
WASHINGTON, May 20 (EP)
Fellow union chiefs today found
Dave Beck guilty of "gross misuse
of union funds entrusted to his
care" and virtually read him out
of the labor movement.
The AFL-CIO Executive Coun
, cil, organized labor's highest tri
bunal, removed Beck permanent
ly as an AFL-CIO vice president
and council member on charges
leveled by the Senate Rackets In-;
vestigating Committee.
For the pudgy, 62-year-old Beckl
the unanimous action was a heavy
blow. His own Teamsters Unionl
is reported taking steps to oust
him as president, even though!
these moves are slow in taking;
shape.
Beck, claiming the AFL-CIO'
proceedings against him were il
legal, refused this morning to
answer queries on the Senate
charges put by his fellow AFL-1
CIO union chieftains.
The Council acted swiftly and
unanimously against Beck after
he fled to the basement and sped
away in an automobile to avoid
facing newsmen and photogra
phers.

porary." He said a definite settle
ment should be worked out on the
basis of six principles approved
,
• unanimousl, - by the council last
Oct. 13.
In quick reply, Omar Loutfi of
Egypt said a declaration by his
government,. filed with the UN
as an international document, is
in accord with the principles. Fur
thermore, he said, the canal is
operating and is being used by
major powers.
USSR Backs Egypt
Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet Un
ion, backed Loutfi on the decla
ration.
Sobolev said the Suez r-anau
problem has been settled and
there is no reason to continue its
discussion in the council. He ae
cused France of making a new
attempt to exert pressure on
EgYpt-
Dixon told the council it was
the general opinion of that body
last month that the Egyptian d,ec
laration needs clarification. He
said Egypt by no means has com
plied with the Security Council's
requirements.
