WheatIey Denied
Parole By Board

Thomas J. Wheatley lost his APP
peal last week for parole from
a fiv year Jail sentence for having
killed four young people while he
was drunkerfly driving on the
wrong side of the road
Mute testimony" against him at
the State Parole Board hearing
were the photographs of the two
young men and two young women
killed i'm the crash with his car
near Seaford in August of 1858.
Wheatley. who was once deputy
warden of the old New Castle
County Workhouse. appeared be-
fore the three man board I'M the
same Office of the institution where
he used to work.
The boards negative decision
was unanimous. Strongly Oppos-
ing the application for parole were
two of the three fathers whose
children died. They brought along
with them photographs of the four
dead-and placed them OH the ia
BILE in front of the parole board.

It's not that the rate is bad, it
has been good enough to win many
national honors, some of them
many times. For the last decade 1t
has been dwindling toward the van
fishing point but never got there,
not even zero for a month, the
first goal.
A measure of what employees
did is that while they were mostly
staying out of harms way on the
job the first two months, $50 were
injured away from work, and even
that is about twice as good as the
public average.
Much trouble comes from lot of
little things and Du Pont has be-
lieved additionally that it is mana
gement's job to head them off at
the pass" and see that all 10000
employees leave the job unframed
every night.

trying for complete safety, but

him would diminish the import
ance of the police compaign
against drunken driving.
I'VE just don't want these kind
of tragedies to happen to other
families" the fathers said.
Trivits said:
Just 10 days before this trag-
edy took place, we know that
Wheatley had been in another
drunken driving incident near
Crisfeld. Md. We also know that
as he was driving on the Della
ware road, before the accident that
took the lives of our children, mo-
florists had stopped him and warn
ed him he was on the wrong side
of the road.
Trivits continued:
There's nothing we can do or
any one can do to bring our chill
dren back They say time will
heal wounds; well, it hasn't"
Trivits also observed that had
Wheatley's license been taken
from him at the time of the Mary
land drunken driving arrest in
Maryland, the Delaware accident
might never have happened.
II would think it q good idea. /"

The fathers at the hearing were;
Leon Il. Trivits of Seaford, IA
Their of William Lee Trivits, who
was 20 years old at the time of
death: and Arthur Nancy of Sea-
ford, father of twin sisters who
died in the crash-Cliddie and
Caroline, rs years old.
Along with young Trivits and
the two girls at the time-a double
date-was Ralph nj. McIlvain, 20,
OF Greensboro. Md.
Had this accident not happened,
the fathers told the parole board,
there would have been a double
wedding.
Speaking on behalf of Wheatley
were his wife who is a registered
nurse living in Salisbury, Md, and
his brother, Ralph Wheatley of
Salisbury
His brother said he had often
tried to get Wheatley to stop drink
ing and join Alcoholics Anony-
nous.
Both wife and brother told the
board they were sure ne had learn
ed a lesson at tragic cost to others
and would not drink again
However, Trivits and Nancy

equipment into which another en-
ployee accidentally puts his fin
gers? Safety meetings, signs, slo-
gans, prizes, and constant attention
to detail have brought about the
low rat but not complete elimina-
ton of injury.
An off the job program which
has been in operation for several
years apparently had the encourage
ing but unexpected result of de-
creasing injuries at work. On the
principle that an employee hurts
just as much from an injury at
home as at work, and is just as
likely to lose time from his job.
the company passes along ideas
to employees thay can use away
from work.
These are simple things: take the
roller skates off the stairs, beware
of lawn mowers, keep the butcher
knife away from Junior, and the
like. Surprisingly, it proved effect
i've.
But having gotten into this. the
company found some new food for
thought in accident prevention: A
crossing gate closed on one per-
sons head. Another tried to go over
fence too fast when an augry
hog chased him.

DUPONT Company Is
Free OF Accidents

For the first time in recorded
history, every one of Du Points 120
plants and laboratories went a mon
Tn january without a time-losing
injury to any employee. thus reach
ing a goal which had eluded the
company for years-only to have
two people hurt in a home-office
building which had been hailed ma
tionally as probably the safest OF
its type in the world.
Then the next month, things re-
verified to form when there were
two injuries on plants and more
occurred in March, Next an employ
ee developed medical complications
which were traced back to an acct
dent on plant in January, thus
wiping off that record
There was further irony in this
sequence because some judicious
prodding by Du Points top manage
ment seemed about to pay off and
it may yet. Seeing the rate of in
iuries going up last year there was
the simple question whats being
done about this?'

Wheatley was sentenced to Jail
in November of 1858. Under the
good behavior rules of the prison,
he will go free in the summer of
1862.
On his own behalf before the
Parole Board, Wheatley said he
had suffered heart attack while
in prison.
He said the killing of four young
people had affected him land wish

In six months, Wheatley has the
opportunity to make another re-
quest for parole.

Representative Moss, Demo-
crat of California, has asked
the Treasury Department
whether its officials are allowed
to use electronic recorders to
tape incoming telephone calls
without the knowledge of the
caller.
Mr.. Moss, who is chairman
of the House Subcommittee on
Government Information, wrote
to Treasury Secretary Dillon
this week asking him to clarity
the departments policy on
what Mr.. Moss called "tele-
phone eaveSdropping."
Mr.. Moss got into the sub
ject with Mr.. Dillon last month
after a subcommittee staff
member, while talking with an
Internal Revenue Service Off
cial on the telephone, dis
covered that the officials sec
retary had been taking the con-
versation down on an extension.
The subcommittee staff mem
Der asked if this was a usual
procedure, and was told it was,
according to subcommittee files.
The IRIS official was identified
as Joseph F. Worley, head of
the exempt organizations
branch, Tax Rulings Division.
On May 8, Mr.. Moss wrote
to Mr.. Dillon about the incident
and asked him to explain the

And he did not paw Mr.. Ken

attempt another kitchen de-
bate as the one he had with

One of the conflicts swirled
yesterday about John Berg, as
sistant port engineer at the
base. Thomas C. Grove, a
Brooklyn ship repair contractor,
testified he had heard Mr.. Berg
demand payoffs from August j.
Kreuzkamp on August 25, 1858,
the day Mr.. Kreuzkamp's Power
Equipment Corp. received a
$297 900 contract to overhaul
an MSTS vessel. -.
Denies Inviting PayOffs
Mr.. Berg denied he ever
invited payoffs from anyone.
Mr.. Kreuzkamp testified he
never had made any payoffs,
but that demands for them were
so common he could not re-
member well enough to either
affirm or deny Mr.. Groves
story. Mr.. Grove was vice
president of Power Equipment.
Mr.. Berg also entered a de-
nial of this and other allega-
tionS, including one that he
had helped to drive Power
Equipment into bankruptcy as
an act of reprisal. Mr.. Kreuz-
kamp testified Mr.. Berg acted
as an "errand boy" for higher
ups in MSTS in first threaten
ing and then wreaking such
punishment on the firm for
bidding and winning a contract
sought by favored firms in
cluding Monti Marine Corp,

Chinese intervention was un-
likely he was merely repeating
a view held generally in Wash
ington.
The Chinese did enter the
war before the month was out.
A prolonged debate arose about
whether there was intelligence
warning of the impending Chi
nese intervention.
In the following year, Mr..
Truman removed Gen. Mac
Arthur from command, but the
reason did not involve the old
argument about intelligence.
Mr.. Truman was angered over
Gen. MacArthur's insistence
that he be permitted to pursue
the Chinese Reds into China
and that his planes bomb mu-
nitions sources across the
border.
Part of a Series
The latest account of the
intelligence controversy is con-
tained in a new volume of the
Army historical series.
Written by Roy E. Apple
man, a Reserve officer who was
a division historian during the
war, the new book is scheduled
for distribution later this
month.
OF the conference between
Mr.. Truman and Gen. Mac
Arthur at Wake Island on Oc-

that Mr.. Truman asked Gen.
Macarthur, What. are the
chances for Chinese or Soviet

According to the history the
substance of Gen. MacArthur's
answer was VERY little. Had
they interfered in the first or

been decisive.

NEW YORK, June 10 (AP) -
Eight local schoolgirls are the
proud possessors of a personal
letter from President Kennedy
in Latin.
The girls, Latin students al
the Dalton School, translated
the Presidents Inaugural speech
into Latin. 1t took-them almost
four months.
They sent the translation to
the President on May II.
Yesterday they received his
reply in Latin. He wrote in
part:
"Eximiae puellae, litteram
vestram, in qua de interpreta-
tione orationis meae mentionem
facitis, accept. candenaque in
terpretationem percurri."
In other words, the President
praised their translation and
said he had examined it closely.
His letter also aid: Il greatly
admire both the knowledge of
the Latin language and the art
and fluency of writing it,"
In an English note accom-
panying the translation, the
girls told Mr.. Kennedy I'VE
were struck by the similarity
in construction between your
speech and the orations of
Cicero, which some of us have
read"
The President signed the let
ter with the Latin equivalent
of his name: Johannes Fillus-
gerald Kennediensis."
His letter will be framed and
hung in the schools Latin
