Following lsaa letter received from Mr John Blair:

ut appears to me that the writer Of LIGHTHOUSE IN the SatW-
day. june Is issue III tne AVIS has done a great disselvice to his
community in his criticism of the stunt Of the motorcycle officer
who turned his lights off and sneaked up behind q car IN an effort
to catch a driver exceeding the speed limit
rs it not unwise that one of our major fountains OF wisdom
should conclude that the only time it is necessary to enforce the
sneed limits is between q AM. and 10 AM Sundays excepted?
Unless the speed Of persons under the influence OF alcohol is reduced
the centerline highway will continue to be such a death trap that
even the Editors of the Avis would do well to stay of it at night
perhaps the stunt was a mistake, but ! doubt that one
should criteise so lightly the general idea behind the effort, tr that
seems to be the system in wide. use in the states, namely, stopping
fast night drivers-f for no other reason because they may Kill
someone, particularly if drum"
Concern vas not for the speeder, but for the Motorcycle Ohncer
whd hmns Of his lights while riding behind a speeding car, How
ever it would be appreciated if Mr.. Blair would name the. state OF
states in which Motorcycle Patrolmen chase speeding cars at nlgnts
with their lights off.
IT. was verified that one officer was hurt doing that very tnne.

Chustuin's
Death Listed


The fatal shooting Of a Bris-
tow (Va.) man, found June IL
with his 2-year-old daughter
sitting astride his body, was
listed today as suicide by Sher-
i'll Turner d. Wheeling.
Sheriff Wheeling of Prince
William County. made the rul-
ing in the death of Truett
Chastain, 3l-year-old bulldozer
operator.
Mr.. Chastain's wife, Lillian.
81. had found her daughter,
Wilma Lee, astride the body
and holding a 80 caliber revolt
yer. The pistol had been bought
for protection because Of the
Jackson murders.
Sheriff Wheeling said the
trigger pull on the gun was
so heavy it would have been
virtually impossible for q q
year-old to have fired it.
He said also that the course
of the bullet and the discovery
that Mr.. Chastain had finan-
cial problems had led to his
ruling. The bullet entered the
left side of the chest. the
sheriff said.
Mr.. Chastain was a native Of
Hiwassee, Ga, and Mrs. Chas-
tain is from Staunton. Va.
They were married in Falls
Church about nine years ago.

A letter from Mrs. Rosalind

the need of a railing or rope
around the grave ito keep
people from tramping on it."

of Mr.. Dulles grave and would
