Florida Road Scandal
May Bring Tax Probe

Chairman Blatnik Of thu
House Highway Investigating
Subcommittee said yesterday
the new Congress may want tt

of charging of entertainment
promotion and gifts as business
expenses.
Mr.. Blatnik said his observa-
ton was prompted by testimony
his subcommittee heard this
week about the operations OF
road contractors in Florida.
"The nature of this testimony
Is such that I intend to make
a personal report to Chairman
Wilbur D. Mills of the House
Ways and Means Committee
and to furnish him with tran
scripts of these hearings" Mr..
Blatnik said in a statement.
Testimony Is Cited
Mr.. Blatnik said the follow
ing testimony gives cause to
investigate tax charge-offs:
That a Florida contractor
paid out more than $4,000 to
Florida State Road Department
engineers to induce them to
expedite projects. These pay
ments were considered ex-
penses.
That contractors charged
out thousands Of dollars spent
to entertain road department
personnel.
That expenditures were writ

running into thousands of dol
lars. for whisky, cigars, tur-
keys. hams, hunting licenses
wrestling match tickets and
football games.
"One aspect Of this situation
we have exposed in Florida
that may be overlooked is that
a corporations profit is re-
duced in direct proportion to
the expenditures made for these
purposes" Mr.. Blatnik said.
Revenue Lost Seen
THUS, if a corporation is
taxed a rate Of AZ per cent,
or So per cent. or whatever
the percentage might be, the
Federal Government is losing
tax revepue in about the same
proportion as the company is
contributing toward the So
called gift
II believe that the abuses
and the evils associated with
such a situation are all too
obvious"
The Blatnik subcommittee
hearings will resume Tuesday
to hear from engineers Of the
Florida State Road Department
and representatives of the Bu-
reau Of Public Roads who have
tested some of the projects
that have figured in the testi-
mony.

tual, moral or religious I have
great sympathy for the Negro
as another creative product of
God. am religious I am q
Catholic.
But sooner or later I will
have to face the same prob
lens, when our parochial
schools are integrated. I'll hate
myself for it but I'll yank my
kids out Of school even if 1t
means accommodation.
No Fears Economically
II ask myself, Just what do
I fear in integration? I'm not
afraid Of what my neighbors
or relatives will say. I don't
honestly fear inter-marriage be-
cause I'm confident family guild
ance will keep my children from
that.
II don't fear the Negro eco
nomically. He threatens me in
no way. Why? Why? Why? ]
keep asking myself, do I oppose
integration? And the emotional
answers come back fast-Negro
kids aren't as clean, as healthy,
as intelligent as my children.
Talk me out of those argu-
ments, strip me of my rational
izations If you like and I'll still
be against it. Why? Why?
Why? Because because
I know I'm better than they
are. I just know it!
The Negro was the slave.
We brought him here in chains.
We auctioned him of like cattle
at what used to be Congo
Square, just a short distance
from here. He was an animal.
He had no brain. II I liked
him, I bought him. He was
born to be q servant. I can't
defend this but there it is, deep
in my bloodstream.
Sure, colored and white chill
dren used to play together in
the old days. But that was diff
ferent. 1t was in the grand
manner of the Old South. They
always played at the big house
on top of the hill. When the
white boy rode the mare and
the colored boy rode behind
him. the relationship was clear.
II never lived then but the
spirit Of those days was so in
grained in me I can't shake it.
I can't endure the idea of Negro
kids playing with mine at all
today because now they are
being taught they are as good
as the whites.
Look. may as well complete
the worst of this confessional.
About a month ago. my kids
asked If they could play some
time with Bertha's kids. Bertha
was our Negro baby-sitter. Il
quickly gave them some phony
excuse.
1.-TWO weeks later, Bertha was
supposed to come sit for us on
a Sunday afternoon. She called
and said there was some din.
Guilty at home and asked II she
could bring her kids over to
play with ours.
Nov I knew her kids wouldn't
contaminate mine. But Just
asking it showed a frightening
familiarity. Bertha never
worked for us again and can't
say I'm proud Of that but I >"

New Orleans Becomes

NEW ORLEANS. Dec l0-m this Old South bastion OF

groes. In Ward 9 as in many
areas, colored and white people
live close to each other.
But the big difference here
Is that many white workers
feel increasing economic COM
petition from the Negroes on
the docks, in the oil plants, on
construction jobs. And in Ward
9, few people can afford to
send their children to private
schools. 1t was. many people
think, the worst possible area
of the city to begin even token
integration.
Most Of the women hecklers
bring their small children with
them to enjoy the festivities.
A report spreads that the
Rev. Lloyd Foreman or Mrs.
James Gabrielle is riding BY
around the corner. The women
race. of like a wolf pack,
shouting obscenities, shaking
fists from a distance.
The neighbors who had been
friendly have completely cut
OF the Gabrielles. None of the
women invite her in for coffee
any more or pause to make
small talk while hanging I'D the
wash. The woman upstairs,
with intriguing logic, shouted
at Mrs. Gabrielle:
You're willing to sacrifice
neighbors for principles but
your principles didn't stop you
from getting long distance GALE
on my phone.
And in another part Of town,
a young father, a man who
once studied for the priesthood,
discusses, over a meal, the
shouting mob and the abuse of
the Gabrielles and the Fore
mans, and he shakes his head
in bitter sadness.
Expresses His Views
Suddenly this young man of
intelligence and sensitivity SAYS:
II completely despise those
women hecklers. They make
me ashamed for my town, for
the South. for my own convic-
tions about segregation"
He talks faster as if only mo-
mentum can get his words out.
This mans roots are deep in
the South. His grandfather
was a slave owner and served
on the personal staff Of Jeffer-
son Davis.

told her. He even got up and

down and cried"
This, the doctor explained,
was an effort on the part of the
mystic to convince the woman
he knew of her husbands be-
havior.
DR.. Riesenman said the wom-
an said at one point, "I can't
lie to this man. He knows every
thing just like God"
Man Picked Up
The two men then had the
woman accompany them to the
Culpepper police station, ac-
cording to DR.. RieSenman, and
at 8 pm. they were Joined by
her husband. Police had picked
him up again, on a road near
his home.
The man was interviewed by
the psychiatrist, the telepa-
thist and police.
DR.. RieSenman related he
questioned the man on his med
ical history. He said the tele-
pathist asked him about the
differences with his wife"
"The man said he didn't kill
the JacksonS," DR.. Riesenman

said Judge Grove, is "up to the
police"
DR.. Riesenman said he rec
commended psychiatric treat
ment for the man during his
90-day stay at the hospital.
Doctor Withdraws
After the commitment, the
psychiatriSt called local news
papers and told the story. DR.
Riesenman said he had accomp-
lished what I intended to do. I"
He added:
"It's up to the police author
ties to take action at this point,
It's not my job to prosecute
I'm not going to go ahead and
push the thing"
He said Mr.. Herkos-whom
he described as "the greatest
man in the world"-would nc
longer be paid by him for his
efforts in the case.
Capt. Lindsay at Richmond
said there's nothing now to
base charges on" He added
the police investigation still is
underway.
Mr.. Herkos, in a midnight
interview with a Star reporter,
also announced: I'm not
finished yet"
Evening star., 1960-06-12

said, "but when I pointed out
his amnesia episodes he said

The interview lasted four
hours, according to the psycia-
trist, during which he suggested
disqualification to the suspect.
81 felt he was potentially
dangerous" DR.. Riesenman
said, $50 we set the hearing
up"
Sanity Hearing Follows
The hearing the doctor re-
ferred to was held at las am.
on Friday morning when Fair
fax County Court Judge j.
Mason Grove convened a lun-
acy commission, consisting of
himself, DR.. Riesenman and
DR.. Jesse r. Cover, Fairfax jail
physician.
The commissions finding, the
judge later revealed, was that
the man was mentally unbal-
anced. The Judge committed
him to Southwestern State
Hospital for the insane. The
mans wife signed the petition
requesting his confinement.
No criminal charges were
placed against the man. That,

the Jackson home, "he (Her-
kos) knew there were nine
killings and the murders did
not occur in the home"
Then, on Wednesday, the in
veStigators accompanied by po-
lice, went to the place where
Mrs. JackSon's body had been
found buried, near Gambrills,
Md. The telepathist again re-
ceived more radio" informa-
tion, he said.
Later they went to the site
of the murder of Mrs. Margaret
V. Harold, 36-year-old Arbutus,
Md, mother. She was shot to
death in June of 1857 as she
sat in a parked car with an
Army sergeant on a wooded
lane in Anne Arundel County,
Md.
DR.. Riesenman said Mr.. Her.
kos again "got the feeling" at
this site. At one point, ac-
cording to DR.. Riesenman, the
iDutchman said, Il see the same
face as I saw before. I
also see how the crime oc-
cured"
The telepathist told DR..
RieSenman that "the girl was
shot by accident"
Driving back to Washington,
the telerathist continued to re-
ceive waves Hf information, ac-
cording to DR.. Riesenman.
Seated in the car with the
police, Mr.. Herkos blurted out:
Il see more clearly the face
7. he had haircut more
bristly hangs down in
front"
DR.. RieSenman, he said, took
notes as the Dutchman talked.
AS visions continued to rush
into the telepathist, DR.. Riesen-
man related, .Herkos said the
man he viSulized had two scars
on his left leg and a tattoo on
his arm. He began to see his
residence much better now"

town Medical School. He was
graduated in 1910.
During World War II. he
served as chief of the dag
nostic and neurologic center at
McCloskey Army Hospital in
Temple, Tex.
An Amateur Performer
DR.. Rieseman says he be-
came interested in psychic
phenomena as a boy. II was
interested in anything that
came up. I'm well-read in it
but just an amateur"
II think the parapsychological
aspect is very closely akin to
things that have to do with
metaphysical and supermeta-
physical gifts" he said.
He termed these gifts "even
analogous to spiritual factors"
He performs regularly, as an
amateur, at local youth clubs,
schools and service groups,
demonstrating mental telepa-
thy. He insists that his extra
sensory perception is very
low" and that his tricks are
accomplished because he has
a Photographic mind"
He learned of the Dutchman
last April while going over
clippings of news stories deal
ing with parapsychological
phenomena. One story told of
Mr.. Herkos' work with the
Round Table Foundation.
Found Him in Miami
Then several weeks later he
saw another article describing
Mr.. HerkoS' ability to predict
the baseball pennant winers
for 1859. This led him to a book
containing an account of Mr..
Herkos' feats, and later he
saw a television program
which portrayed Mr.. Herkos'
mystic ability.
DR.. Riesenman said he
thought of calling in Mr..
HerkoS in the Jackson case
because police seemed to be
stymied in their investigation"
He tracked Mr.. Herkos down
in Miami.
The doctor has himself
served as a medico-criminol-
ogIst in nearly 500 criminal
and civil cases in the Northern
Virginia area in the last II
years. And while he is not a
regular member of any COM
mitment board for patients
at State mental hospitals, he
has served lots of times"

DR.. Francis Regis Riesenman,
so, an energetic, well-known
Northern Virginia psychiatriSt,
says he was convinced that
Peter Herkos, Dutch house
painter turned telepathist, had
supernatural powers the min
ute. they met.
The men had never seen each
other before Monday when DR.
Riesenman walked up to the
Dutchman at the airport and
showed the telepathist his wal
let to identify himself.
Mr.. Herkos caught a glimpse
of a picture of DR.. RieSenman's
father in the wallet and. ac-
cording to the doctor, quickly
described the older mans poor
health. He added that physi-
clans were worried about his
condition.
DR.. Riesenman was amazed
He was further convinced of
Mr.. Herkos' "God-given" pow
erS a short time later when
they reached the doctors
home.
Mr.. Herkos walked over to a
picture of Dr.. RieSenman's
mother and described the de-
tails of her last illness and
death.
AS far as DR.. Riesenman was
concerned that did it. He
needed nothing more to prove
to him that the Dutchman
was endowed with super
metaphysical gifts"
Fractured Skull
Mr.. Herkos, a 49-year-old
Hollander, says he discovered
his own gift" after his skull
was fractured in a fall from a
ladder. The gift is an ability
to receive brain radiations
from other people. He also
picks up like a radio" those
feelings of "scaredness" which
still linger on the scene of ar
. event in the form of brain ra-
diations, he said.
He gained fame in Europe

arrived in the United States
four years ago. Since then he
has lectured and given per-
formances. He also partici-
pated in some experiments with
the now defunct Round Table

investigated psychic pheno'
mena.

interested in the Jackson fam
lily murder case. The Apple
Grove (Va0 family-Carroll
jackson, his wife Mildred, and
their two young daughters
were found dead about a year
and a half ago after they dis
appeared from their home.
AS DR.. Riesenman told a
Star reporter:
Because police seemed stym-
led in their Investigations, I
felt it was time to call in a
man of Herkos' caliber."
Flys From Miami
DR.. Riesenman met the tele-
pathist at the airport on Mon
day. He had come up from Mi
ami, Fla. DR.. RieSenman said
the Dutchman revealed a few
things about the pSychiatrist's
father which convinced him
the man did have "supernat-
ural powers.
On Tuesday, DR.. Riesen-
man introduced Mr.. Herkos
to Capt. Charles M. Lindsay
and Investigator Jack Hall of
Virginia State Police. The po-
lice, the mystic and the psychi-
artist drove to the Jackson
home in Apple Grove and then,
later, to the site near Fred
ericksburg where Mr.. Jackson
and his infant daughter had
been found crudely buried.
DR.. Riesenman, relating the
events of the trip to a reporter,
said the telepathist began to
get results Immediately as he
strolled around the murder
scene.
He knew the first couple of
hours" DR.. RieSenman said.
He had a mental picture of
the killers face, plus a mental
picture of the killers home"
Sees Nine Killings
DR.. Riesenman said that at

lima find his missing daughter.
He performed this feat over the
telephone from Kentucky. The
child, he said, was found dead
and under water in an aban-
doned stone quarry.
He said he also has been
consulted by police depart
mentS numerous times and once
gave police in Maine, through
his occult powers, the clues
that led them to the body OF
a missing woman.
Mr.. Herkos has been the
subject of two articles in ma
tional Sunday newspaper sup
plements.
Last week, in the midst of
his search for clues in the
Jackson family murder, he en-
tertained and aStonished a
number of Falls Church Of
ficialS and residents by recall
ing obscure events in their
lives.
In. his recent relations with
the press, Mr.. Herkos told a
Skeptical photographer. he was
too tired" to explore the mans
background. The photographer
had announced he was IAN un-
believer"
On another occasion, he ex-
amined a ring belonging to a
Star reporter. The reporter had
bought the ring in 1854 for $23
and at one time had given it to
his girl friend, a member of a
family of seven.
Mr.. HerkoS examined the
ring at some length and then
told the reporter the ring had
been given to him by a person
with an honest heart" who was
a member of a family of four.
Admits Fallibility
Mr.. HerkoS admits he is not
always correct. Nevertheless,
DR.. Riesenman's faith in him
remains unShaken.
DR.. Riesenman, a native of
Franklin, Pa, has a private
practice and is on the psychi-
atric staff of st. Elizabeths
Hospital.
He lives at 800 West Broad
street, Falls Church, with lis
wife, the former Victoria Agnes
Wisocki of Dudley, Pa, and
seven children. He describes
his family as "a good Catholic
family"

The party then drove out to
look at the house which was
located in Vienna, Va.
Sure enough" related DR..
Riesenman, here was the same
picture Peter Herkos saw"
DR.. Riesenman said the tele-
pathist's suspect, while he had
lived in the house at the time
of the jackson murders, was
discovered to have moved.
By Wednesday night, accord
ing to the doctor. police had
located the new home of the
suspect. He was picked up by
police and held, DR.. Riesenman
related, with the expectation
that the Dutchman would ask
him some questions Wednesday
night.
But" DR.. Riesenman said,
"Herkos was all worn out"
The suspect was released.
The telepathist rested.
Tells of Past
But the next day, at l pm,
according to DR.. Riesenman, he
took the mystic out to the sus-
poets house and the two inter-
viewed the wife. The husband
was away at work.
At the home, DR.. Riesenman
said Mr.. Herkos began telling
the wife about her past.
He" DR.. Riesenman said,

the hands of her husband. Re

added there was a chair in
the yard outside.
He never heard of the home,
had never seen it," DR.. Riesen-
man related. Then Herkos
got a picture of the mans wife.
He described her face"
At that point, DR.. Riesenman
said, the policemen in the car
announced that a man ques-
toned in the Jackson murder
investigation a year ago lived
in a home with a chair out
front. Further, according to
DR.. Riesenman, Investigator
Hall said the man resembled
the one described by the tele-
pathist.
