Moriches Boy Found Hanged; Ruled Accident MORICHES—A 15- year - old - boy was found dead here b y his mother at 6:45 a.m. yesterday after apparentl y accidentally hang ing himself in the woods. The boy, George B. T y deman , Jr., was reported missing b y his parents at approximatel y 9:45 p.m. Tuesday and an all ni g ht search by Suffolk County Fifth S quad Police failed to turn up any trace of him , police said. His parents , Mr. and Mrs. George B. Tydoman . Sr., of Cedar Avenue , Moriches , first missed the boy when he failed to come home at 5:30 p. m. Tuesday as was his custom, police said. They waited, however, until later to notify the police, thinking the boy would soon return , according to police. His parents and police searched the area throughout the night but were unable to locate him. Then at approximatel y 6:45 a. m. yesterday, his mother remember- ed he usually spent a lot of time near the Great South Bay. Hop ing to find him, she walked to his favorite spot and found him hang ing from a tree with the rope around his neck , according lo po- lice. She quickly notified the po- lice, who were nearbv , u ncording to Fi fth squad detectives. Police report that the death was apparently accidental and that no evidence of foul play nor notes was found. Police say he was appar- entlv walking through the woods and the rope got caught in the trees and around his neck. Georere was a junior at William Floyd High School. Shirley.

Meeting With Spring comes the start of construction work , and local gov- ernments are no exception. Mon- day night the Patchogue Village Board devoted most of the time in its three-hour meeting to open- ing bids , putting out for more bids and valuating the needs for repair work throughout the vill- age. They received one bid for the construction of a bleacher plat- form and stairs , curbs and a ramp, bituminous pavement and fencing and plumbing work at the Munici- pal pool and parking area. The bid was $4 , 019 from Joseph Romeo ' s Patchogue Construction Corp., 228 East Main Street. Pat- chogue. Mr. Romeo was given the contract for work to be completed by June 1 , the opening date of the swimming pool and surround- ing park area. Mir. Romeo was also the only bidder for the installation of a concrete floor in the men ' s dress- ing room at the pool. His bid was $736. The contractor was present and suggested to the board that he install heavyweight concrete rather than the lightweight con- crete — for the same price — which was called for in the bid specifications. Trustee Roy F. Krieger , recreation commissioner , was appointed to stud y the sug- gestion. Two bids were submitted for the installation of a siren at the north- east corner of Carmen Street and Conklin Avenue. The contract was awarded to Henry C.

The letter came from Project Mercury, Lang ley Air F orce Base , Va., and was signed bv the United States ' first man in space , Commander Alan B. Shep- ; ard , Jr., U. S. Navy. Miss Gindi , a student at Patch- ogue Junior High , wrote a letter to Commander Shepard in Decem- ber as part of a class project in Donald Campbell' s ei g hth grade science class. In it she asked questions on the (at that time) proposed flight into space and the commander ' s reactions a nd thoughts about it. Other students in the class wrote a letter to the remaining six astronauts and all of them re- ceived an answer except the one who had written to Walter M. Schirra , Jr. With letters from six of the prospective high-flyers , it became a contest in Mr. Campbell' s class to see whose man would be the first. When newspapers finall y de- clared that the fiel d was nar- rowed to Alan Shepard and John H. Glenn , Jr., according to Miss Gindi. the majority of the class felt the first man would be Mr. Glenn. When the commander was final- ly the man to make the tri p, Miss Gindi said , the whole class was excited about it. When the shot was completed , according to the voung Patehoguer , the letters were temporarily forgotte n in the ju- bilation. She said that she is thrilled to have the letter from the nationa 1 hero , which is dated March 3 and reads as follows: Dear Miss Gindi: \Thank you very much for your recent letter. 1 am sorry that I nave not answered sooner , but 1 have been away from the office for some time. It is a great pleas- ure to us to realize that you are interested in our project. In view of this , I will try to answer some of the questions imposed in your letter. \I wanted to be an Astronaut because it was a natural contin- uation of my work as a test pilot. In fact , Project Mercury has turned out to be j ust that. Many oi' the things we are doing now closely parallel the activi- ties in which we were engaged be- fore joining the NASA.

' According to Mr. Rosso , the chamber received numerous com- plaints from the residents in the area concerning the arrival of the buildings that had formerly been owned by the Mel-Pac Amusement Corporation and used at Dodge City (a western type recreational area) in Patchogue. Mr. Itosso said the reaction of the people closel y resembled a vigilante comm ittee from out of the old west and t ba- the western style buildings , moved into the area , almost saw a true revival of rule by the gun.

Lee Dennison Monday to pass a local law condemned as a politicall y motivated \ power grab\ b y the five Republi- can members of the Suf- folk Board' of Supervisors. Championed by as many Demo- cratic supervisors as a reasonable and necessary measure to insure economical operation of county government, the law provides for the allocation of budgetary ap- propriations to the various depart- ments in quarterl y installments. The installments are not paid automatically, however , and de- partment heads , most of whom are Republicans , must apply to the county executive for the funds voted their departments bv the Board of Supervisors when it adopts the count y budget each November. The executive ' s power \to mod- ify or amend'' allotments , and un- der certain circumstances , to re- duce appropriations , was branded \dictatorial\ by Bab ylon Supervi- sor Arthur M. Cromarty and others of the GOP bloc. They charged that passage of the lo- cal law amounted to an under- handed and possibl y illegal amend- ment of the county charter since it gives him authority not provid- ed in the charter. The Republicans , who could have blocked the measure if one of their number had chosen to stay away from the meeting and thus prevent a tie , suggested the p lan be given further study. \I believe the law has merit , \ said Mr. Cromarty, \but in its present form , it is unsatisfactory. A compromise can be worked out. I move it be tabled to give us time to remove the bugs. \ The motion to table was defeat- ed when Mr. Dennison cast his first tie-breaking vote to break a 5 to 5 deadlock. His second came a few minutes later when the board again divided in balloting on the resolution introduced by Supervisor August Stout , Jr., of Brookhaven. Mr. Dennison , who told news- men the new regulation , recom- mended b y a management consul- tant concern that recently survey- ed county governmental opera- tions , will prevent unwise spend- ing and thus obviate deficiency ap- propriations , said it will take some time to put the system into ef- fect. He indicated it may not be- come operative until January, 1962 , the beginning of a new fis- cal year. Supervisor Evans K.

McCarthy, ' Isli p ' s industiy chief , announced yesterday the signing of a con- tract b y Joseph H. Meyer , presi- dent of Joseph H. Meyer Bros., manufacturers of Richelieu Pearls , a division of Botany Industries , for a new 70 , 000-square-foot mod- ern one-story factory which will provide 400 new jobs for the Town of Islip at a cost of close to $1 , 000,000. Target date for breaking ground is July 15. Completion is scheduled for December 15. The new p lant will be located on 17 acres of land at the southeast corner of Vete- rans Memorial Highway and John- son Avenue , Holbrook. Mr. Meyer said this large acreage was pro- cured to take care of planned fu- ture expansion. Mr. McCarthy said this is the culmination of over four months ' work by the industrial committee , ^ Councilman Donald Kuss , the Suf- folk Count y Water Authority, Fantus Factory Service , the Long- Island Lighting Company and the Islip Town Board. Mr. McCarth y said that approximately 80 per cent of all the employes will be hired locally. Richelieu will be vacating its existing factory in Brooklyn , which consists of four different' buildings occupying five floors. Mi\ . Meyer said that Islip Town had been chosen after almost two years of searching and considering all fac- tors in many other potential areas. The prestige of Mac Arthur Air- port was considered to be a de- cided advantage in the final choice of the plant site.

The board had previously denied consent February 28. Th\ railroad wants to establish six round tri p bus routes , in lieu of one train per day, between Huntington and Greenport via Riverhead and between Gieenport and Ronkonkoma via Riverhead. The railroad would drop passen- gers at the Huntington terminal where they could take trains to New York City or Western Long 1 Island. The railroads app lication for the bus-rail service is piesentl y before th« Pub'ic Service Commission (PSC), but it needs the consent of each village and town its bus route would include. The LIRR application was heard before the PSC in Marc h along with a petition by the Long Island Transit Systems , Inc., a Greenport bus firm , for a franchise on similar bus routes asked for by the rail- road. The denial by the town board does not necessa - il y mean that the railroad will not get the franchise. According to a railroad spokes- man , both outfits could get the routes they ask for from the PSC , which makes the final decision. The spokesman added that consent of each town is important. The LIRR has received consent from Huntington , Smithtown , Riverhead and Southold Townshi ps. In both of the hearings before the town board , Supervisor August Stout , Jr., and Councilman J ohn J. Foley voted in favor of grant- ing their consent. Councilman Ha- rold L. Chapman , who was not present for the February vote , this week added his vote to the other councilmen in defeating the proposition. The bus line , which was granted a temporary franchise by the PSC when the railroad went on strike last year , also has the consent of each of the townships through which their routes pass. The final decision as to who will be allowed to serve the Eastern Long Island area with buses now rests with the PSC. On other matters , the board : 1) Passed an amendment to its \beach-buggy \ ordinance which will allow property owners on the Great South Beach to travel to and from work with a special per- mit. The ordinance was passed February 14. and regu ' ates the hours that persons driving \bug- gies \ can use the beajh during the Summer months—from May 25 to September 10. 2) Received a petition from the United Zoning Committee of the Setaukets asking that a parcel 3 , 500 feet long and 500 feet wide l ying north of Nesconset-Port Jef- ferson Station Road , south of that land now zoned industrial \L\ , east of Horseblock Road (also known as Mark Tree Road) and west of the Long Is ' and Lighting Company right-of-way, ho rezoned from \B' ' residence to \L\ indus- t- ial to provide for balanced zon- ing within the Setauket School District. 3) Reserved decision on the fol- lowing bids for the construction of Corey Beach and marine park - Continued on page 7 , this section Town Again Refuses LIRR Request for Bus Service $750 , 000 Program: RIVERHEAD — A $750 , 000 construction program that will pro- vide four strategicall y located precinct buildings and a parking and repair garage for the Suffolk Count y Police Department was author- ized Monday b y the Board of Supervisors. Recommended by Police Commissioner Charles R. Thorn and the board' s police committee headed by Smithtown Supervisor Robert A. Brad y, the program was ap- proved by unanimous vote.

Spellman , hired by the county to compile a survey of the future airport needs of Suffolk. Supervisor Stout stated that if the county authority would take over the Mastic Air Strip, on a lease basis , the development would be faster , and at no cost to the taxpayer because it would be self- liquidating. He said he has re- versed his opinion of a year ago when he said that the town should obtain the air strip for industrial development which would hel p in the development of industry with- in the town. Mr. Stout , a continual support er of ideas advanced by County Executive H. Lee Dennison over the past months , said that the Spellman plan called for the de- velopment of the Mastic Stri p over a long period and characterised Spellman as a \dreamer for the future. \ He said that these dreams took into account the future needs of Suffolk County and that the so- called \Dennison super airport plan \ was nothing more than a realization that the facilities with- in the county must keep pace with the growing population and changing character of the county. After outlining his thoughts on the strip the supervisor received questions from an apparently hos- tile audience who advanced ideas in opposition to any \ give away \ of the strip to the county. Robert Heins , president of the Shirley Chamber of Commerc e , said that the strip could be de- veloped as a town installation along the lines of MacArthur Airport in Isli p Town. He said that the Federal Aviation Agency has available plans \for the ask- ing \ that have projected entirel y different development of the Mas- tic Strip than that contained in the controversial Spellman report. He urged that the town develop the strip on its own and that the town officials either contact the FAA or obtain an independent re- port from persons other than Mr. Spellman , prior to any action be- ing taken on the future of the Continued on page 8 , this section POLITICAL FIRST w ere opening words of Supervisor August Stout , Jr., a Democrat , at hearing held by Mastic-Shirley Repub- lican Club on future of Mastic Air Strip.
