received honorS including the
distinguished flying cross from
President Hoover.
Mr.. Post was killed in 1885
with Will Rogers when their
plane crashed in Alaska.
Mr.. Gatty's Importance to
aviation was signified in 1882
when he was appointed senior
aerial navigator engineer for
the Army Air Corps after Col,
Lindbergh. his former naviga-
ton student, had described him
as probably the best aerial
navigator in the world"
Mr.. Gstty learned navigation
as a youth at sea in Australian
and New Zealand waters. He
came to the United States with
his family in 1927 and later be-
came a naturalized citizen.
After a few years in yacht
ing. Mr.. Gatty established an
air navigation school in South
ern California. Among his dis
tinguished pupils were Col. and
Mrs. Lindbergh. ace racing fiier
Roscoe Turner. and Harold
Bromley. an aviator with whom
Mr.. Gatty tried unsuccessfully
in 1880 to fly nonstop from
Tokyo to the United States.
They had to turn back because
Of an engine defect.
Developed Air Aids
In the meantime Mr.. Gatty
contributed to three important
aviation developments. He
helped to devise a simplified
system Of aerial navigation
through celestial observation
which made possible higher,
longer and safer flights. He also
invented a watch face to SIM
plify the figuring of time
changes on long flights, and
helped develop a ground-speed
indicator which was adopted by
the military.
During World War II he
served in the Army Air Corps
in the South Pacific and Joined
Pan American at the end Of the
war to explore possible routes
through the South Pacific.

This power could be used
promptly in cases where one
or more individuals claim they
have been refused registration
on the voting rolls.
There was no suggestion dur
ing the congressional debates
that there should be jury trials
for civil contempt. Criminal
contempt arises only when a
Judge wants to punish an in
dividual after he has agreed to
comply.
Senator Russell warned the
South yesterday difficult days
may lie ahead under the bill.
He predicted that Vice Presi-
dent Nixon would be active
in urging the Attorney General
to enforce the law.
The Georgia Senator pic
tured an era somewhat COM
parable to the reconstruction
period following the Civil War,
but said the order would be
slightly reverse.
Instead of white carpetbag-
gers directing Negro officials,
Negro political leaders will di-
rect the attorneys of the Justice
Department" the Senator said.
Russell Explains Stand
In his post-mortem speech,
Senator Russell also explained
to the people of the South why
he and the other Senators from
Dixie did not f1libuster to try
to block final action. His
speech was regarded as an in
direct answer to Senator Thur
mond. Democrat Of South
Carolina, who staged a one
man filibuster for "a hours and
10 minutes.
Senator Russell said frankly
the Southerners found early in
the civil rights debate they did
not have the 80 votes required
to prevent the application Of
the cloture rule. Under that
rule ga Senators may impose a
one-hour speaking limit on
each Senator to insure action
on a bill.
Senator Russell also argued
that, by not filibustering the
Southerners won sufficient sup
port from Northern Senators to
remove the most Objectionable
feature of the original bill
the application OF Federal in
functions to force racial inte-
grafton in the schools, swim+
ming pools and other public
places.
Feared Retaliation
He admitted that motions
could have been made on the
last day to modify the House
jury trial compromise. but he
pointed out that if this had
been done supporters of the
bill could have retaliated by
reviving the section dealing
with integration.
Senator Thurmond, who has
been criticized by some Of his
Southern colleagues for staging
his one-man talkathon after
the Southerners as a group had
decided against an organized
filibuster. issued a statemeTE
defending his action.
Senator Thurmond said that,
while the Southern caucus of
last Saturday decided against
an organized extended debate,
it also agreed that each Sen
ator was on his own to oppose
the bill as best he could.
Senator Thurmond said that
after he decided he should
make a long speech against the
compromise. he also came to
the conclusion the Southerners
should give further considera-
tion to their earlier decision.
He said he told Senator Rus
sell of his plans and suggested
the calling of another caucus.
He quoted Senator Russell as
stating that II a majority of
the Southerners made the re-
quest he would call another
caucus.
