The bi-partisan conference, composed probably of more Republican voters than Dem ocrat, was unanimous on one thing persistent, sharp, and even bitter criticism of Presi dent Eisenhower for his de mand on the nation's taxpay crs in favor of foreign aid, military, and domestic governmental expenditures.

Could Breathe Swell The youngster gave the first account of his experience in bits of conversations with his parents and friends yesterday at nearby Bayview hospital.

Art Bergman, staff writer for Newsday, a Long Island newspaper, recorded the remarks. Benny told of his feelings inside the deep well: "It was dark. My coat was over my head. I could breathe swell. There was cold air all i around me.

I was mad. I was swearing. It was cold and my feet were wet. I could feel sand between my teeth. It made me mad.

A big city aid he has found useful is a pocket radio paging service, thru which he can receive coded messages wherever he goes. Like a country doctor, he is physician, surgeon, father confessor, and family adviser. Of his more than 2,000 operations, a number have been of the emergency kitchen table variety.

Of the more than 1,000 infants he has brought into the world, many were delivered in the home, and even a few in his car. In selecting Dr. Mustell for the award, the society took note of the countless hours spent outside his regular practice in organizing, developing, promoting, and supervising the Doctors Emergency Medical service of the Chicago Medical society over the past five years." Sees Thousands Yearly The service has handled about 20,000 emergency calls since its inception in 1951. Dr. Mustell estimated he sees about 4,000 patients a year in his regular practice.

One family wrote the society that he had been their doctor for 33 years. The letter continued: "During this time, he -has delivered our babies, daughters, granddaughters, and grandsons. He has treated us medically and surgically, all of us. We consider him a part of the family and we hope he lives forever." JBOX XI Medical Society to Honor Stripped of Job as an Officer of Labor Council BY WILLIAM MOORE Chicago Tribune Press Service Washington, May 20 The AFL-CIO executive council unanimously found Dave Beck guilty today of ross misuse "of Teamsters union funds and booted him out of his posts as a member of-the council and a vice president of the AFL-CIO. The action cama after Beck had faced the, council and re fused to answer questions about the $320,000 the senate rackets committee accuses him of taking from union money.

AFL-CIO President -George Meany, speaking for the council, said "There is not the faintest question in our minds Beck arriving at AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington yesterday. that Beck is "completely guilty of violating the basic trade unijn law that union funds are a sacred trust." Theft "Not the Issue Meany said it is not the council's function to determine whether Beck violated the laws against theft, misappropriation, or embezzlement. He went on: Whether Beck stole the funds or embezzled'them, the record shows he took advantage of his position as a trade Meany announcing ouster of Beck at news conference. union official to use money belonging to dues paying members for his own personal gain and profit." Beck's swagger and bombast were gone when he arrived at the AFL-CIO headquarters to face the union presidents and former presidents who, with the officers, constitute the council. Altho his habit is to call a press conference any time he sees newspaper-reporters, he hurried past them today, answering only a few questions as he fled to the elevator.

Lee, an international vice president and i. member of the union's execu-' tive council, predicted yesterday. "As far as I am concerned, Dave Beck is thru with the Lee said as he left for Washington to attend meetings of top Teamster offi cials.

"I expect our council to meet shortly to deal with the Beck, situation," Lee added. I believe that Beck will submit his resignation at that time." Sees Power to Remove Lee, also president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said he believes the council can remove Beck from office if he fails to quit. Beck has interpreted the international's constitution to mean that he cannot be removed, but we shall see about that," Lee added. "There is no doubt in my mind that our union will stay in the AFL-CIO structure, despite what Beck has to say about that." Lee said that he didn't want the presidency of the "Team sters' union "under any circumstances," and that yesterday's action of the AFL-CIO executive council would not make him change his mind. He declined to comment when asked whether he thought John T.

Sandy O'Brien, a Teamster vice president who has announced he would run against Beck, had a chance for the job. Lee explained that he hadn't discussed the subject with O'Brien. Hoffa O. X. Held Vital Other Teamster sources told The Tribune thatiieither O'Brien nor any other candi-; dates or the top a Dost would have a chance! without the backing of James R.

Hoffa, midwest boss of the Teamsters. Most top Teamsters also agreed that if Hoffa wants the job, he can have it even if he goes to jaiL Hoffa is under indictment in Washington on charges of plotting to plant a spy in the staff of the senate racket investigation committee. O'Brien, a supporter of Beck until Beck got into trouble recently, claims that he is receiving support from local unions thruout the country. O'Brien has worked closely with Hoffa in organizing the Central States conference of the union and is popular with most local Teamster officials. Many Teamsters would like to see Thomas Haggerty, secretary-treasurer of the Chi cago Milk Wagon Drivers union, go for the Teamster presidency.

But Haggerty "said he doesn't want the job. i Country Doctor, City Style OF LAYING, -fHtfT'11. TAV LAID, tO HAT WITH raim anp wash- outs ewry WEEK Lindbergh, the young flyer, pictured a few days before his ocean hop. ham. For the thirst, a bottle of cafe.

Herrick with sincere regret. The French are extremely sensitive on the subject of a trans- Atlantic flight. It's "only. 12 days since Nungesser and Coli." Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli took off from France for America on May 8, 1927; no trace of them was ever found. I reached the Ritz bar in the rue Cambon at the -peak of the cocktail hour.

Frank, the barman, had set odds of 10 to 1 against the success' of the flight. Maj. Billy Bishop, Canadian ace, and Sir Alan Cobham1 who had just blazed the air trail to the tip of South Africa, discussed Lindbergh's chance from the technical standpoint. I toddled along to the office and wrote 600 words of Paris reaction to the -Lindbergh flight. Lindy Passes Newfoundland Just after 1 a.

He had been trapped 400 feet below the surface since Friday.

The body was found by a team of five men who had searched without a break since Friday afternoon. Dr. Samuel E. Herrold of Lykens, a deputy coroner and one of the five, said death was caused by suffocation. Dr.

Herrold said he had not determined when Snyder died. Taps for Five Hours Snyder, the father of three children, had not been heard i from since five hours after a slide trapped him in a passageway of the South Mountain mine. Mine inspectors heard tappings from a wall until then. Late today fellow miners, who worked around the clock in five man crews, regained faint hope that Snyder might be found alive. They reached the bottom of a gangway and for four hours dug into a water filled sump, or pit, without finding the body.

Earlier they. had. found his shirt. Sedation Reports from the scene tonight said the crew finally found the body in another section of the passageway after working back from the sump. Snyder's wife was at home nearby.

A doctor called from time to time and gave her sedatives. Neighbors took over the housework and cared for the children.

Who the devil was Charles Lindbergh? 1 Man Nobody Knows My secretary didn't know. My assistant didn't know. Bernard Ragner, editor of the Paris edition of The Tribune, didn't know.

University of Illinois medical school in 1919, Dr. Mustell opened his first office on the south side the same year. Since 1930, he has held office hours at CO N. Michigan a central location from which he can easily reach patients on the near south, west, and north sides. The doctor finds city practice as a family physician very much like that of his country counterpart, except for the traffic congestion.

He uses a station wagon to get around during his work day, which starts at 7 a. m. and ends at 6 m. Like a 0 'doctor, C3 ID Sunris. 5:16.
