Heurne'sS Son
Flies Back
To ireland
BY the Associated Press

David Patrick Hearne, son
of the Irish Ambassador, has
returned to Ireland after a
series of brushes with the law
climaxed by the death of a
woman pedestrian struck by
his automobile.
A spokesman at the Embassy
said the 21-year-old son of
Ambassador John ]. Hearne
left by plane for Dublin
Wednesday night.
The father had announced
that his son would be sent back
to Ireland to continue his edu-
cation there.
David Patrick, who had been
a student at American Univer-
sity for the last year, was driv-
ing from Washington to the
University of Maryland Novem-
Der II when his car struck and
killed Mrs. jessie Hamlin, 54,
a domestic.
The fatal accident aroused a
Juror when David Patrick
claimed diplomatic immunity
He appeared at the inquest
but the hearing was called of
because of notice from the
United States attorneys Of
flee that it was pointless in
view of that immunity, which
could not be waived.
After the accident police dis
closed that the Ambassadors
son had figured in four en-
counters with police during
preceding months. No charges
were filed against him because
of diplomatic immunity.

In Expanding Space Age

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf, Nov. % (AP).-
Missilemen who would defend
the Nation in time of war are
already fighting-for homes.
Many aren't doing so well.
Hundreds of men at the only
American base ready to fire
intercontinental balliStic mis-
sileS in combat are lonely and
unhappy, officials say.
Why? There's no place to
put their wives and children.
They'd buy or rent if they
could find housing they could
afford. It's scarce; many live in
barracks many miles from their
families.
Vandenberg Air Force Base
on the coast northwest of Los
Angeles. is the home of the
Strategic Air Commands 1st
Missile Division. It's an opera
tional and training base armed
with Atlas, Thor and Titan mis-
sileS.
Nearly 10000 airmen and
civilians are on the Sprawling
base now; more are coming.
Airmen have complained for
months about high rents, high
priced new houses, lack of
trailer space-and lack of pros
poets for the near future.
The problem has become a
crisis. Mai. Gen. David Wade,
commanding officer, has called
a public meeting for next Mon
day to see what can be done,
Prices of new houses near
the base are out of sight for
the average airman, ranging
up from $4,000.
Z Rentals are available in
nearby towns. But they start
at about $125 a month for one
bedroom unfurnished apart
ments.
The missilemen ask: What
good do those do an airman
first class with a wife and
child who draws $251.10 a
month?
Their plight is complicated
by the presence of civilian mis-
.sile technicians who make that
much every week-or more.

Poison Coffee
Puzzles Police

SEATTLE, Nov. % (AP).-
The placing Of arsenic in two
cans of coffee in a lunchroom
used by county-city building
employees could have proved
fatal to several persons, Chief
Of Detectives Victor L. Kramer
said today.
A two-pound can of drip
grind coffee, mysteriously
placed there to replace that
usually used by City Planning
Commission staff workers, was
found yesterday to contain
substantial quantities of the
poison. More was found in a
jar of instant coffee.
Five women and three men
commission workers became

a morning coffee break.
This was no accident" De-
tective Kramer said.
City planning director. Johl
D. Spaeth. said he could not
imagine anyone doing a thing
like this" He and his staff
volunteered to take lie detec-
tor tests.
Detective Kramer said that
some "diSgruntled" employe,
or former employe, might have
been responsible.
On November 20, a different
can of coffee was found beside
the one usually used. A note
was put out saying it did not
belong to the group. But last
Monday the regular one was
gone and the other was used
for the morning brew.
Several persons Immediately
complained of its metallic, bit
ter taste and became sick.
Chemists said the tin con-
tained enough arsenic to he
lethal, but that the smaller
portion used with water to
make the coffee prevented
fatal results.
