the airport the two fliers were
> feted across the nation and
'received honors including the
; distinguished flying cross from
President Hoover.
Mr. Post was killed in 1935
with Will Rogers when their
plane crashed in Alaska.
Mr. Gatty’s importance to
aviation was signified in 1932
when he was appointed senior
aerial navigator engineer for
the Army Air Corps after Col.
Lindbergh, hia former naviga
tion student, had described him
as “probably the best aerial
navigator in the world.”
Mr. Getty 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- j
era California. Among his dis
tinguished pupils were Col. and
Mrs. Lindbergh, ace racing flier i
Roscoe Turner, and Harold j
Bromley, an aviator with whom :
Mr. Gatty tried unsuccessfully
in 1930 to fly non-stop frota
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 passible higher.;
longer and safer flights. He also 1
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 n 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.

night in New Haven, Conn.
A descendant of a family
that has lived in Washington

the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. She also was

Accused Camp Operator
Converts to Machinery
HANNIBAL. N. Y„ Aug. 31
(S*).—Prank Patane, one of the
operators of a migrant farm
labor camp where a writer from
Georgia charges he and other
Negroes were mistreated, says
he has bought a machine to
pick beans.
"I was going to use that this
year," Patane said yesterday,
“but all these people arrived
and I wasn’t going to' send
them away.
"But I’ll tell you this; Unless
this constant bickering ends.
I’m going to quit hiring peo
ple. I can use the machine to
better advantage.”
Robert B. Powell. Associated
Press Syracuse correspondent,
inspected the camp near this
Oswego County community yes
terday. He reported it was a
neat collection of small frame
buildings with units ranging
in size from one room, 14 by 16
feet, to two rooms, 12 by 24.
James H. Brunson, 39. had
said in Augusta, Ga., Wednes
day that leaders of the camp
; beat and cheated workers, that
owners forced unmarried women
to submit to sex acts with other
: colored workers and that living
quarters consisted of rooms 8
by 10 feet, with four persons
assigned, regardless of sex.
Patane and George Chillson
operate the camp as a summer
home for almost 200 Negroes
who harvest beans and other
crops on their 1,000-acre farm.
Powell reported finding vary
ing sanitary conditions. Some
! units were spotlessly clean, with
[curtained windows. Others had
unmade beds and burlap-be
decked windows. Each had a
gas stove and electric lights
A worker said the rent was
81.25 a week per worker, in
cluding gas and electricity.
A representative of the State
{Health Department, one of the
agencies investigating as a re
sult of Brunson’s charges, said
Ihe never had found anything
ifaut minor violations, which he
! described as such things as
broken windows, bent water
pipes and unclean grounds.
Food and other supplies are
sold at a small commissary op
erated by Troy Davis, colored,
who is labor contractor for the
camp. Credit also is extended
to the workers by Jim Best, a
, from 1938 until his death on

DISTRICT TO SEND
NO MORE TO CAMP
UNTIL QUIZ ENDS
No more unskilled labor
ers from the District will
be sent to upstate New
York migratory labor
camps until allegations of
mistreatment have been
cleared up, Fred Z. Hetzel,
director of the District Em
ployment Service, said to
day.
Mr. Hetzel said about 140
District men are in the
camps. They went to New
York on camp buses be
tween July 15 and August
20 following requests
through the New York
State Employment Agency.
A few are reported to
have come back, complain
ing they did not get what
was promised them. Mr.
Hetzel said no more would
be sent until "this whole
business” has been clarified
to the satisfaction of New
York authorities.
storekeeper in nearby Dexter
ville.
Best said he tries hard to
collect his charges "but I really
! don’t have to because Patane
and Davis make good all bad
accounts.”
Best said Brunson left a bill
’ of $10.82 on his books.
Brunson Offers t# Testify
Brunson has offered to come
north to testify in the in
vestigation by Gov. Harriman’s
; administration or before a
grand jury. But he said he
lacked funds for the trip and
would have to be subpoenaed.
No grand jury investigation has
been proposed.
The Labor Department has
subpoena power. State legal
authorities said.
In New York Herbert C. Hill,
labor secretary of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, said the
organization was trying to get:
in touch with Brunson with the
intention of bringing him to
New York to testify. Mr. Hill
said the NAACP had not been
connected with Brunson's story
but felt the story should be told.
Three Ney York newspapers
yesterday criticized Gov. Har
riman's handling of earlier
charges by Mr. Hill that abuses
exist in 1,000 such camps in
the State.
Executive Shifts Stand
Gov. Harriman said at a news
conference Tuesday that no
slavery or peonage had been
found in the camps, although
technical violations had been
turned up in about a quarter of
them. Gov. Harriman said all
the violations had been cor
rected
Then on Wednesday he or
dered an inquiry by two State
| committees.
The World-Telegram and
Sun said a series of articles it
has been running turned up
{"shocking evidence " and added:
"The situation is a disgrace. It
won’t be helped by whitewash
ing or looking the other way.”
I The Post said a series it has
been printing "confirms the
NAACP’s findings and discloses
conditions generally believed to
be confined to States south of
the Mason-Dixon Line ”
The Herald Tribune said Mr.
Harriman "wisely retreated”
! from his earlier position by re-
{ versing himself.

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 filibuster 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 24 hours and
19 minutes. *
Senator Russell said frankly
the Southerners found early in
the civil rights debate they did
not have the 32 votes required
to prevent the application of
the cloture rule. Under th*t
rule 64 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
junctions to force racial inte
gration in the schools, swinw
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 statement
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 If a majority of
the Southerners made the re
quest he would call another
caucus.
