WASHINGTON, May 20--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 Council, organized labor's highest tribunal, removed Beck permanently as an AFL-CIO vice president and council member on charges leveled by the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee.
For the pudgy, 62-year-old Beck the unanimous action was a heavy blow. His own Teamsters Union is reported taking steps to oust him as president, even though these moves are slow in taking shape.
