living descendants Of the men
who came to our country in
1907 in the first little fleet

Person. Virginia, l607-l624."
The Order of First Families
Of Virginia. of which I am re-
cording secretary. was founded
40 years ago for just such re-
search and we have been able
to find records of only two Of
the adventurers leaving de-
scendants. The other, Vice
Admiral Bartholomew Gosnold,
returned to England and
started a family there.
Beheathland left two daugh-
tiers. One. Mary. married a
Capt. Thomas Bernard. His
granddaughter. Beheathland
Dade. married a John Berry
man in Stafford County about
1920. I believe he is the i'm
migrant Of that family and
that your cartoonist. James
T. Bergman. is descended
from him.
One Of my ancestors. a
Capt. Thomas Taylor, came to
the colony three years after
the first arrivals. When the
replica Of the Susan Constant
was here. my nine-year old
granddaughter. Anne Eustace
Verlie. was one Of the most
interested Of the visitors who
went on board.
When she saw me she asked
II my ancestor had come over
on the Susan Constant. When
I told her that he did not
arrive until 1910 she an
swered.
Then don't see how you
can belong TO anything"
Louise c. Earll.
Editors note: Mr.. Berry
man says this is his first
knowledge that he goes back
to the Susan Constant. but
that he had always been told
that the first Bergman came
TO Stafford County in i7i5J"

1t used to be a FEDERAL Of
Tense for anyone to tamper
with our mail. But now it
seems that the Government it.
self Is doing it. What is
this-is the Government strik-
ing against the people?
When are we going to have
q law against strikes being
called against public utilities?
The innocent public is made to
suffer en- masse-often without
any warning-as witness the
bus strikes in this city, which
left nearly a million people
without transportation - and
In IS degree temperatures!
II our own Government can
keep our mail from US. this is
serious! Strikes against public
utilities. and the mail should
be stopped--by law. all Of
them.
Do not raise postage ratesl
And give US back the one-cent
post card. The loss of it has
greatly hurt business. And the
mail has to do with progress
and enlightenment. as do all
things connected with commu-
nication. Pay for the shortage
by more careful management
or further subsidy. Don't rob
US Of our present degree Of

Postmaster General Sum-
merfeld depends on soaking
the taxpayer. We must be
taxed to help pay for the de-
livery Of magazines to other
people and to help pay for the
delivery Of junk mail we
don't want.
I had high hopes for the
Eisenhower administration,
but have sadly come to the
conclusion that 1t is consid-
cred to be more important TO
beat the drums for projects
that will get votes rather
than to have a truly eco
nomical administration with
out the expensive frills that
add little If anything to our
welfare. The attitude seems
TO be. THE taxpayer has
plenty of money. Let's just
take 1t away from him."
1t seems to me that the
only thing that Congress can
do with the mess Summerfield
Is making Of the Post ONCE is
TO grant the money needed to
continue service, and to fire
Summerfeld and get somebody
who Is smart enough to run
1t right-even II IL is neces-
sary to get somebody who
does not put politics first
and the taxpayer second.
James Watson.
Persons who mplain
about receiving advertisements
In their mail should be re-
minded Of some important
practical facts. They say that
they throw away such mail
without opening 1t, but they
should realize that other per-
sons not only open 1t but use
1t profitably. No business could
continue to put money into
direct-mail advertising unless
enough persons did open it
and profit by II. No business
can prosper unless 1t benefits
It's customers.
II the complainers are try
ing to avoid finding out about
products which would be to
their advantage to buy, they
should also stop reading news
papers and magazines where
they encounter numerous ads.
Also they should avoid radio
and television. Even notion
picture shows contain adver-
Using. Buses and other public
means OF transportation as
we'll as billboards along streets
and highways are loaded with
ads. So why should one who
can't escape all OF that rave
about a few envelopes in the
mail with a little more OF It?

New York Mayor
To Probe Claim of
Labor Exploitation

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (R.-
Mayor Robert Wagner has
called a meeting for tomorrow
of representatives Of unions,
employers and city officials to
look into charges of exploita-
ton of Negro and Puerto Rican
labor.
The charges Of exploitation
have come in newspapers and
i'm testimony before the Senate
Rackets Committee in Wash
ington last week. The ALL
CLIO later mapped an about
drive against union officials
here accused of collision with
employers to exploit Puerto
Rican labor.
Mr.. Wagners said tomorrow's
meeting at City Hall would be
a combined effort to examine
all phases of the charges and
work out a program to remove
SUCH abuses.

added in explanation Of the

Local 228 remained to be sstn.
Through the testimony OF one
laxative and two retice1t wit
nesses yesterday. a partial re-
construction of the locals his
tory was made.
Took Charter OFF Wall.
Sam Getlan Of New York, a
former henchman of gangland
kingpin Frank Costello. told
with apparent frankness his
part in the story of Local 228.
Getlan said he got the charter
of Local 228 from a Teamster
Union official, Milton Holt, who
took it of the wall and handed
it to Getlan.
Getlan operated under the
charter for about three months.
regulating the affairs of 100
union members in upstate New
York and collecting tribute
from about 1000 coin machines.
Then he returned the charter
to Holt and continued in the
coin machine union business
under the aegis of the Inter-
national Jewelry Workers
Union.
The Local 228 charter orig
inally was issued to one Sidney
Hodes and somehow got into
the hands of Holt. Under ques-
tioning by committee members
and Chief Counsel Robert F.
Kennedy. Holt pleaded Fifth
Amendment about the meth
DDS whereby he got the charter
and the considerations under
which he turned it over to Get
Ian.
1t was developed further that
after Getlan got through with
the charter and turned it back
to Holt, the latter passed it to
Philip Kazansky. a Transfers
Union official in the Catskill
Mountain resort area Of New
York State. Neither Holt nor
Kazansky would discuss any
aspects Of their transactions.
No one seems to know now
where Local 228's bouncing
charter may be.

in the hospital or that she was
suffering from any condition
requiring an operation.
Mrs. Eisenhower has been in
Walter Reed on two previous
occasions this year-once in
February and again in mid
June-for extensive physical
examinations.
On both occasions her hos
pital stays were described as
just routine and she was pro-
nounced in good condition. No
mention was made on those oc-
casions that an operation might
be required.
Mr.. Hagerty told newsmen
today he could not say how
long the operation had been
considered except that it had
been in the picture for quite
a little time"
Condition Not Serious
He emphasized that Mrs. Eli
senhower's condition was not
considered serious and was not
the result Of any emergency.
1t was uncertain immedi-
ately whether Mrs. Eisenhower
now will be able to accompany
the President on their planned
vacation at the Newport, r. l.,
naval base when Congress ad-
journs.
Mr.. Hagerty said Mrs. Eisen-
hower's doctors had told him
last evening that they did not
think the operation would in
terfere with the vacation plans.
But definite word awaited her
poSt-operative progress.
There had been no previous
indication to the public that

The Maryland House and Sen
ate delegations have been push

Baltimore, while Mr.. Broyhill
has favored almost any site as
long as it is outside the area
he represents.
1.-THE question before Con-
gress at this time is where AN
additional airport should be
located" the committee said.
"On this point the committee
is willing to follow the advice
and recommendations of CAA
officials who are designated by
law to determine the location
of airports throughout the
Nation and have located hun
dreds of airports. After nine
years Of study they have de-

present form, Senator Know
land replied that the Senate
version is not the final form
that may come from confer
ence and until he sees it in final
form. he would not give the
President any advice.
The major question now is
whether the House will accent
the Senate amendments. or
send the bill to conference for
discussion Of a compromise
House Republican leaders saw
they want the measure sent to
conference. House Democratic
leaders are keeping their own
counsel until the Senate passes
the bill.
One possible compromise
would be to limit the jury trial
provision to cases involving vot-
ing rights. AS it was adopted
by the Senate last week, the
amendment authorizes Jury
Trials in criminal contempt
cases growing out of the en-
Iorcement of any Federal law.
Ives to Vote for It
Speaker Rayburn, whose
voice is influential in all House
decisions, said today he has
not discussed the bill with any,
one and will not decide any,
thing until he has studied
changes made by the Senate.
Senator Ives, Republican of
New York, announced he will
vote to pass the Senate bill
but only because of his hope
that conferees may be able to
improve it.
Senator Javits. Republican of
New York, announced also he
will vote for the bill nothwith-
standing Its very serious de-
fects." He too said he hoped
the conferees would be able
to change it.
Senator Ives said that as It
stands the Senate bill is mot
even a respectable corpse" He
called 1t a "ghost-and a very
real ghost which will come back
to haunt us if the bill is finally
enacted in its present form"
Johnson Defends Bill
Defending the Senate bill as
one OF strength and substance
Senator johnson told the Sem
ate today:
There are those, OF course
who prefer a political issue to
an effective bill. There are
those who are more interested
in votes in 1860 than in the
right to vote in 1857 and in all
the years to come. These are
the people who seek to use a
large group of our fellow Amer
leans as dupes in a political
she'll game"
There was no immediate re-
action from Vice President
Nixon to the criticism aimed at
him yesterday by Senator
johnson. The Texas Senator
accused the Vice President of
leading concerted propa-
ganda campaign" against the
Senate bill.
