Youth Leads Police In Half Hour Car Chase
Post Office Has
Caught Up
John Spinosa, 19, df 43 Eagle
Lane, South Farmingdale, led
Nassau and Suffolk police on a
high- speed chase, crashing two
roadblocks and about 20 parked
cars, according to police.
The youth was stopped on a
routine check at Conklin Street
and Rou< e 110 shortly after
midnight on Monday. Spinosa is
said to have sped away at a high
rate of speed with police in
pursuit. He is reported to have
crashed roadblocks, struck
parked cars and ran into four
police cars when police at­tempted
to force him to stop
The half- hour chase ended
when Spinosa's car crashed to a
halt on Kent Ave., Farmingdale.
Police said that there was ap­parently
no reason to drive off
since his license and registration
were in order.
The Farmingdale Post Office
has now caught up with the
backlog of back mail, ac­cumulated
from the eight days of
work stoppage.
Last week the President of the
Clerks Association had informed
Postmaster Leo Morgan that 100
percent had voted to return to
work.
Morgan said, " I appreciate
everyone's patience and con­sideration
during these trying
times. Everyone cooperated 100
percent."
The mailmen have been
promised a 12 percent raise and
amnesty to all strikers. They
have been promised 100 per cent
increase in payment of their life
insurance and a pay raise
retroactive to October, 1969.
The letter carriers are to
receive a full pay in eight years
rather than the former 21.
Supervisors and postmasters
will be entitled to equivalent
raises and benefits.
A meeting of Congressional
leaders with the Post Office
General is still going on.
The outgoing mail is
tremendously heavy; the
heaviest ever seen in 20 years.
The largest concentrated volumn
of mail that the post office has
experienced. Hope by Thursday
night to be back on an even keel.
Using overtime for all postal
employees; everyone available is
being used on an overtime basis.
