...dandy of country music, and showing a late-hour (10:30 p.m., E.D.T.) audience just why millions have been getting up at 7 a.m. five days a week to catch his slick Texas slang and catgut twang. Since April Dean has charmed early risers away from Dave Garroway's Today with his easy ways, his oleaginous grin, and a no-ulcer format thickly populated with bosomy fiddlers. Although his corn is off an aged cob ("Haven't had so much fun since the old cow had twins"), Dean is, in the words of an associate, "photogenic, amiable, happy...
...Dave Beck, and more, should well be on Seattle's conscience. All major candidates for high public offices appeared last fall on a statewide, Teamster-sponsored TV program in unanimous condemnation of a right-to-work measure. Why should any American be compelled, as a condition of his employment, to become a member of a union such as Dave Beck...

Under the McClellan committee's thumb last week was Dave Beck Jr., 36-year-old, balding facsimile of his egg-bald Teamster-boss father. The long-elusive Junior lost no time on the amenities, plopped his 210-lb. frame into the witness chair, and settled right down to his pleas of possible self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment. He gave his name and address, then began to sound like a tape recording of dear old dad. Beck's bad boy managed to run up 124 uses of the Fifth (papa topped 200), and in one burst of speed...
