green meadows with ready &C
cess to water and utilities.
Attorney General Robert F
Kennedy, in announcing the in
dictment, said Johnston oper-
ated as the "Comstock l. n d
Company" and represented the
land as being on the famous"
Comstock Ranch.
Comstock became a famous
name in 1859 when a rich lode
Of silver was discovered there.
The Comstock Lode, near Vir-
ginia City, New, made fortunes
for three decades and is still a
name that conjures up visions
of riches in the West.
Not Near COmstOck
The indictment said john
ston knew the land was no t
contiguous to the famous Com
stock property, was not a ranch
and had not been known as the
Comstock Ranch before he
bought it.
This is the second indictment
charging mail order land fraud
in the last two weeks in the
Governments crash program to
deal with widespread promo
ton Of lots by mail.
Mr.. Kennedy said the Com
stock case. like the earlier one
involving desert rangeland
known as Lake Meade Ranch
eros resulted from extensive in
vestigation by the Postal In
spection Service. Mr.. Kennedy
reiterated his earlier warning
to all citizens to exercise great
caution in buying lane by mail.
The Comstock indictments
did not say how much money
was involved in the sales, but.
it was learned the figure
amounted to some 100000.
Johnston's sales. Mr.. Ken
nedy said. were to brokers and
a number of other persons,
principally in the San Fran
cisco area in parcels of 100
acres for a price of $4,000.
Began in October, 1861
The indictment said John
ston began the land sale
scheme in october. 1861 when
he bought land covered with
sagebrush and poison weeds
near Elko. He named the land
"the Comstock Ranch" and I'M
dertook an advertising pro-
gram through newspapers, PAM
phlets and letters, the indict-
ment said. Each of the Is counts
charged Johnston with mailing
fraudulent letters between Oc-
tober, 1861 and March. 1862.
The grand jury accused him of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-28

fraudulently representing that
the land was on the banks of
the Humboldt River in an area
of extensive real estate devel-
opment. The indictment said
the land was not on the river,
and that there is only nominal
building in the area.
Maximum penalty for convic-
ton on each count would be
five years in prison and $1,000
fine.

Bosley House One Of
Early Hotels Here

Another hCtei of a bygone era
is shown in this weeks Old photo
graph. 1t is the Bosley House, To-
Gated on Oak street between Sixth
and Seventh.
According to the Centennial His
tory of Oakland" published in 1919,
the Bosley was one of the first
summer resort hotels to be estab-
lished here.
The proprietor was George l..
Bosley. whose father, Thomas Bos-
lev of English and Irish ancestry
had come to the Alleghcnies from
the Baltimore area. He was mar
ried in 1884 to Catherine Rinehart,
a daughter of George Rinehart, of
Sunnyside.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bosley lived in that
area until 1860 when they moved
to Oakland and built their home.
Their son, George, went as pio-
neer to Iowa, but returned home to
enlist in the Union army.
Soon after his return from the
army in 1865, he opened a small
hotel, which became so popular
that additions we're made until it
included 40 rooms accommodating
50 guests. Long p0rchcs extended
the full length of the house on
both the first and second floors.
His wife, Miss Sarah Wheeler
Ridenour, of Aurora, and young
members of the family assisted in
the management of the hotel, which
was closed in 1920.
1t was later used for apartments,
and finally torn down and the
material used for other buildings
A part of the site is now occupied
by the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
R. Fike.
George Bosley's son, Charles,
later operated the Manhattan no.
tel. which was sold in 1945 to
Thomas Sheehe by Mrs. Bosley.
This hotel was destroyed by fire
several years ago.

Rights Move

President Kennedy is delay.
ing a decision on asking Con-
gress for broader Federal au-
thority in civil rights cases
while awaiting the results of
efforts to end racial disturb
ances in the South.
Assistant Democratic Leader
Humphrey said a request for.
authority to permit the At.
torney General to initiate cases
for individuals alleged to have
been denied their rights re-
mains a possibility.
Senator Humphrey told re-
porters Attorney General Rob-
ert F. Kennedy docs not feel
at this time the need for this
authority" because the Presi-
dents brother felt any such
immediate request might "agi-
tate" the situation in Birming-
ham, Ala, and elsewhere.
But Senator Humphrey said
he is confident there will be
a decision made later" on
whether to add the controver-I
sial proposal to the administra-
tion's voting rights recommen-
dations now before Congress.
Any such request would be
likely to result in a stormy
Senate filibuster by Southern
opponents of civil rights

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
MAY is (AP) .-Astronauts may
fly fast and far, but the big
trick Is getting them of the
ground. Delays and postpone
ments are a standard part OF
the game.
Gordon Cooper's scrubbed
flight yesterday was in a long
tradition. He was in the cap
sule 5 hours and so minutes
and never left mother earth at
all.
Virgil I. (Gus) Grissom was
the first TO go through this
particularly frustrating expert
ence before his 1861 suborbital
flight down the Atlantic range.
He was within about 10 min
utes of blastoff when 1t was
called off for three days.
But John H. Glenn, jr., the
first American In orbit, holds
the capsule-sitting record so
far. He climbed into the cap
sule three different days before
he finally got going.
Here's the past record on
American space flights:

Cooper had used only 8 per
cent Of mis- oxygen supply, in
dicating that at this rate he
would have oxygen to spare at
the end of the planned 34-hour
flight.
AS Mai. Cooper's spacecraft
passed over the East Coast at
the start of the third orbit,
Col. Powers remarked that he
sounds good" He said Mai.
Cooper is working up there as
a competent, very carefully
trained engineering test pilot. +"
Sees Perth Lights
Mai. Cooper "joined the
club" as he passed over Perth,
Australia. and observed the
lights turned on in greeting
to him by residents Of that
friendly city. He also saw John
H. Glenn's "fireflys" which
have been determined to be
particles Of ice from the space
craft.
One of the things he was
sent up to observe-the haze
layer" which girdles the earth
was seen early in the flight,
Maj. Cooper reported. "It's
been a full night" he re-
marked to Mai. Grissom after
having passed through a period
of darkness which lasted only
about As minutes. The sunrise,
he said, was quite impressive. "
Checks on Time
Following the detailed flight
plan for the mission. it was
obvious that the flight was 60
ing along beautifully. Maj
Cooper checked into and out
of contact with ground stations
right on the minute.
Mai. Cooper was barely off
the ground when the first tele-
vision pictures of an American
astronaut in space we're relayeo
to a ground station. A TV
camera mounted above the in
strument panel beamed the
pictures of Mai. Cooper, from
the moment he lifted off unit

Dominicans Wait and See

fled with any one group of
Haitian exiles whose precipitate
action might spread bloody
chaos while getting rid Of DR..
Duvalier.
No confidence exists here
that the invasion army" Of 80

said to be affiliated with exile
leader Louis Dejoie here, would
in fact be accepted by the Hal
tian people.
At the same time, the Do
minican government is frankly
showing its anger at what 1t
considers OAS and Unite d
States quibbling in the dispute
with DR.. Duvalier.
During two days Of meetings

Foreign Minister Andres S
Freites told five OAS represent
atives that a narrow legalistic
reading of the dispute does not
meet Dominican requirements,

DR.. Duvalier has said seven
of the % are common criminals
involved in an attempt to as
sassinate his children and can
not be permitted to leave.
But Foreign Minister Freites
is reported to have said in nc
uncertain terms that the OAS
task goes beyond these exileS
to the question Of DR.. Duval-
ier's violation of human rights
and what the OAS can dc
about that.
Dominicans are furious about
the OAS Council resolution last
week, which seemed to treat
the dispute as a narrow Hal
tian and Dominican one.
"They have made it clear,
said one OAS ambassador here
that If the OAS is not careful
its legalism will strengthen die
tatorship on one part of the
island and weaken democracy

The Chilean Ambassador and
Ecuadorian Ambassador Gan

Timing Called Delicate
But the other three repre-
sentatives are prepared to fol-
low the Dominican lead and go
to the heart Of Duvalier tyr
amy in the inter- American
system.
"The question Of timing of
our visit is very delicate" said
one ambassador.
DR.. Duvalier earlier had an
nounced a May % celebration

ident.
A concern of the OAS COM
mittee is to avoid any possible
sign that timing of the visit
indicates approval Of DR.. Du-
valier's perpetuation of power.
If more liberal members of
the committee have their way,
