Legislators Aid
Asked in Probe
Of Bride Offer
Help on BroyhiIl
Incident Sought by
Justice Official

All House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee members
have been asked to tell the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
about any contacts they have
had with a postal union official
linked to the alleged attempt to
influence a committee members
vote on the postal pay bill.
The Justice Department has
been Investigating for weeks re-
ports that Representative Broy-
hill, Republican, of Virginia was
offered a $500 campaign contri-
button to influence his vote.
Both Federal officials and Mr..
Broyhill have refused to make
public the name of the man who
made the alleged offer.
It was learned today, how
ever. that the Justice Depart
ment has named the man under
investigation in letters to the
Is committee members, asking
their assistance in the inquiry.
Justice Officials Silent.
The Justice Department and
the FBI would not confirm
transmission of the letter or
comment on it in any way. Its
existence and contents were
learned from other sources.
The letter. sent from the JUS
tice Departments Criminal Divi-
sion, noted that postal pay bills
were before the committee on
and before June Is. AS a re-
suit of the reports and state
ments made by the man under
investigation, the letter said, lit
has become necessary to request
all members of the committee
to advise the Federal Bureau of
Investigation as to whether they
received any visits" from the
man under investigation or had
any other contacts with him
during that period.
Since you are a member of
the committee" the brief letter
said, sit will be greatly appre-
ciated if you would call the
Washington field Office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
SO that an interview can be ar
ranged"
Official Questioned.
An official of the union said
the official named in the letter
had been questioned by the FBI
last week in "a routine ques-
tion-and-answer session" but
said the letter was "fantastic
unbelievable" He added:
This outfit just doesn't do bust
ness that way
Since the bride offer reports
came out, a large number of en-
ploye organizations have deplored
any such action.
The investigation and alleged
bride offer came to light about
a week ago.
The issue of pay raises for
the postal departments half a
million workers has created a
long and bitter wrangle in the
House. Postmaster General
Summerfield has asked that any
pay bill carry. authority to re-
shuttle job and salary schedules
"a move opposed by organized
postal employe groups.
The committee at first re-
ported a Z per cent pay raise
bill, emitting the overhaul au-
thority. Later. it approved q
5 per cent pay boost, with de-
layed operation of Mr.. Summer
fields plan.

Red Stars Seen on Fighters.

Red Stars Seen on Fighters.
In London. the foreign office
spokesman said the British gov
eminent acted on the basis OF
statements from the pilot and
co-pilot of the Skymaster.
Later a qualified diplomatic
informant said descriptions OF
the fighter planes given by those
aboard the airliner included a
statement that the attackers
were marked with red stars.
The red star is a universal Com
munist symbol.
Hainan, the island of which
the plane was shot down, lies
about 200 miles southwest OF
Hong Kong. 1t is the site OF
several large Communist mill
tary air bases.
Bullets Removed From Two.
Chief Stewardess Iris E. Sto-
bart of Cathay Pacific Airlines
said bullets were removed today
from two of the survivors picked
up by a United States rescue
plane.

and her daughter, Valerie, were
among the rescued. So was Peter

Rescue of 3 Others Reported.
Eyewitness aboard a COM
mercial plane who saw the Sky
master ditch said three survivors
were picked up by a small boat
from Hainan. If they were they
presumably are in Communist
hands.
An airline source said Cathay
Pacific, through the Hong Kong
government, telephoned Com
munist officials in Canton FRI
day and asked permission to
send rescue planes into Hainan
waters.
The Communists repeatedly
said: you may send a civilian
plane, but don't send q military
plane or we will shoot it down."
