BELLPORT—The old adage , "A Friend in Need is a FriendIndeed ," proved to be very true last Thursday afternoon wheneight-year-old Bill y Klein , with the assistance of his brother ,Michael , and an unidentified man , rescued a friend.

Michael Chiuchioio , 10. was sitting on his bike , watching theboys rish off the Bell port dock , when suddenly he lost his balanceand p lunged into Great South Bay, bike and all.

Billy reached down and grabbed Mike 's hand and held himabove the surface , while his brother ran for help. A man ranto the dock and assisted Bill y in pulling Mike from the water.

Michael , who lives at 17 Country Club Road , was very wetand cold from the di pp ing, but required no medical treatment.

When Billy arrived home , his mother , Mrs. Robert Klein of 22Country Club Road , noticed that he was restless and asked what,was wrong. He replied , "Mike fell in the bay, and me and anotherman pulled him out."

As Aid to Potato Industry:

The- U. S. Navy has agreed to make available to the Long Islandpotato industry some 190 acres of land at Calverton on long-termlease for use as a disposal area for wastes from a proposed starchfaetorj . The policy decision , a reversal of an earlier depar tmenta lrecommendation , was announced Tuesday at Washing ton by L. I. Con-gressman Otis G. Pike of River- §> head.

Undetermined and subjects ofnegotiation are the location of thedisposal area and the price localagriculture will pay for its use. Itwill be situated within the bufferzone , somewhere on the outer peri-meter of the 6,000-acre Grumman-operated , Navy-o .vned aviation in-stallation.

The L. I. Agricultural Coordi-nating Committee, the grower-shipper agency which spearheadedtlie effort to obtain governmentland for a project of paramountimportance- to the $75,000 ,000 in-dustry, immediately scheduled ameeting to plan its next move.Secretary Kenneth Wells said thesesssion has been tentatively setat L. I. Farm Bureau headquartersin Aquebogue.

In announcing the Navy 's affir-mative decision , which he attribut-ed to Secretary of the- Navy JohnB. Connally and his executive as-sistant for facilities , John J. Reed ,Rep. Pike said they will "permit asufficiently long-tez*m lease so thatthe construction and operation ofa starch plant would be econom-ically justifiable."
