...TIME's Manhattan wire room from Washington last week came a 4,500-word file datelined "Garfield Hospital Annex." It was signed by Correspondent George Bookman, who had spent days poking around the far-flung empire of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. While awaiting a final interview with Teamsters' President Dave Beck, Bookman doubled over in pain, next evening underwent an appendectomy. He came out of the sodium pentathol with a bad case of hiccups, but nonetheless dictated to his wife Janet, a former United Press reporter.

The story of the first phase of the McClellan committee's investigation is the story of how Frank Brewster used Teamster funds to make himself a real gent in the world of showy blondes, fast horses and high-proof bourbon...
...Ignore." In 1953 Dave Beck was named president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Frank Brewster took his place at the head of the Western Conference. His duties kept him traveling, and so did his horses; he therefore sold his Seattle home and began living in hotel rooms. Under Brewster, the West Coast Teamsters have given heavily to charity, sponsored a classical-music program on television, with Seattle Symphony Conductor Milton Katims presiding...
