A ''Quiet'' D a y in M a l v e r ne
Helm- Review GM Aids in Catching Burglar
By Felix Chabot
Commenting on a wild police drama which began in Malverne and spilled over into Lyn-brook
and Lakeview at speeds of up to 7 0 M P H , Malverne Mayor Morton W. Stein this week
praised police and civilians who aided in c a p t u r i n g an admitted drug addict, interrupted in the
a c t of burglarizing a local residence last F r i d a y morning.
"This action proves that the people of M a l v e r n e are ready to aid our fine police force in
preserving law and order," said Mayor Stein. "This is a very neighborly village."
He then singled out H E L M - I N D E P E N D E N T R E V I E W General Manager James Bove,
J r . , for special praise upon learning that Bove joined the chase, led it for much of the way,
and stayed with it until its crashing climax.
Lynbrook Board Of Education
Appoints Mrs. John R. Saunders
At t h e R e g u l a r Meeting on J u n e 10, 1964, the B o a r d of Edu-c
a t i on of Union F r e e School District No. 20, Lynbrook, appointed
Mrs. J o h n R. Saunders t o serve on the B o a r d of E d u c a t i o n for t he
remaining y e a r of h e r husband's t e rm of oflFice. Mr. John R. Saun-ders
passed a w a y on M a y 3, 1964.
When asked to serve, Mrs. Saun-
Byrnes Declines
Peter J. Byrnes of East Rockaway,
today issued the folowing statement:
"It is with the deepest regret
that I have this day notified Daniel
Mahoney, Chairman of the Conser-vative
Party and the Board of Elec-tions
of my declination as a candi-date
of the Conservative Party for
the office of Representative in the
Fifth (5th) Congressional District.
"Before this decision was made by
me, I had, of neccessity, given it
the most careful consideration be-cause
of the many loyalties owed
by me to so many people and be-cause
of the respect which I hold
for them.
"However, there was and is al-ways
in my mind, one factor which
weighs most heavily in this matter.
I am entirely dedicated to the nom-ination
and election of Senator Bar-ry
Goldwater to the Presidency of
the United States and do not wish to
do anything which might, in any
way, militate against his candidacy
and subsequent election. In good
conscience I could not effectively
attain this result if I too were
a candidate for an elective office.
"In withdrawing, I wish to thank
all of you who have conferred upon
nie this opportunity to be your Rep-resentative
in the Congress.
"Notwithstanding the sentiments
expressed by those who have been
fomenting the Stop-Goldwater
movement, I imhesitantly reaffinn
my position that Senator Barry Gold-water
is the only candidate who of-fers
to you, the people, the right to
be heard."

ders said that her husband loved his
work on the Board of Education,
and he felt that serving as a Board
member was an honor and a pri-vilege
which required the finest
that a man was able to ofi^er. He de-voted
many hours to the children
of School District No. 20 and always
with the welfare of the children in
mind, "This is something that John
would want me to do", said Mrs.
Saunders.
Mrs. Saunders received her A.B.
and M.A. at Cornell University and
during her undergraduate and grad-uate
days was a recognized leader on
the Cornell campus. Ppon gradua-tion
she worked for many years in
the American Museum of Natural
History and participated in the vig-orous
educational program of that
institution. Her background in nat-ural
science is an exceptional one
(Coi/tinued on page 10)
"Jimmy Bove did a fantastic job,"
said the mayor.
The action began at about 10:45
a.m. Friday when Mrs. Eugene
Freeman returned from shopping to
her home at 15 Doncaster Rd., just
west of Cornwell Ave.
"I pulled into the driveway, re-moved
bundles, from the trunk and
started to enter the rear door when
I noticed a horizontal cut in the
screen of the bedroom window ad-joining
the door," said Mrs. Free-man.
"I looked through the win-dow
and saw everything in dis-array-
not the way I left it. I alsoi
thought I heard footsteps inside."
Mrs. Freeman dropped the bun-dles
and ran excitedly to the front
of the house where two men on a
motorcycle, Dennis Wayne, 18, and
Stuart Hodes, 39, had stopped to
ask her direction to Walker St.
The house-breaker, now aware of
the intrusion, attempted to walk
nonchalantly out the front door.
"Grab him," screamed Mrs. Free-man.
"He broke into my house.
Help me."
Terrific Fight
Without hesitation the two men,
both dancers from the Texas Pa-vilion's
show at the World's Fair,
grabbed the acxnised burglar, iden-tified
by police as Joseph Dashosh,
