Hammarskjold Bound for Egypt To Arbitrate Middle East Crisis; Congress Committee Calls Beck

CAIRO, March 20--Dag Hammarskjold, due in Cairo tomorrow on a new peace mission, probably will try to persuade both Egypt and Israel to proclaim nonbelligerency.

Fresh developments bearing on the crisis included:

The British Foreign Office termed Egypt's six-point memorandum on ground rules for the reopened Suez Canal disquieting in that it made no reference to six principles adopted by the U.N. last October as the basis for negotiations on the canal operations.

The United States reserved judgment, but said it expects "a satisfactory interim arrangement will be arrived at" during Hammarskjold's talks with top Egyptians.

Union Investigation

WASHINGTON, March 20--President Dave Beck of the Teamsters Union was ordered today to appear next Tuesday before Senate rackets investigators--and to bring his financial records for 1949 through 1955.

This key development, heralding events that could be spectacular, interrupted testimony of Frank W. Brewster, a vice president of the Teamsters and chairman of the union's Western Conference.

Among other things, Brewster told the special Senate committee investigating improper labor and industry activities he owes around $42,000 to George Newell of Seattle, who makes some $300,000 a year in brokerage fees on the union's health and welfare fund. The debt developed out of a racing stable partnership, now dissolved.
