Despite Wind

Inc celebration OF the Capi-
tails annual Cherry Blossom
Festival continued on schedule
today-minus most Of the pink

rarely II ever been equaleda
''ceftainIy. q great percentage
OF the cherry blossoms we're lost
In this big wind yesterday"
Cornelius Heine, assistant re-
gional director OF the National
Park Service. said.
Burst Out Brilliantly
The loss was heightened by
the fact that unusually warm
weather at the beginning Of the
week caused the blossoms TO
burst out In the most dazzling
array seen here In q decade.
Weather Bureau observers
said the wind buffeted the
Capital at an average velocity
of 1873 miles per hour through

miles per hour. Today, lighter
winds and temperatures In the
Sos were expected.

chairs were knocked over by
the wind, Mr.. Heine said. The
heavier gusts ripped pageant
scenery and bent the steel-pipe
frames on which the scenery

somebody could get me for.
nonfeasance in office. At
least it's not as bad as NAL
feasance."
What he would like TO see
Is some legislation re-writ-
ing the old law and definite
ly stating that the coroner's
Job Is in relation to inquests
If they are TO be held at
all.
Or. Whelton believes the
office Is doing as good q Job
as would be done under what
is known as the medical ex-
aminery plan.
Medical examiners have
staffs Of doctors who inves-
tigate sudden deaths. They
hold no inquests and simply
report their findings TO the
proper authorities.
As far back as the late
lSOOs. lawyers and others
were calling the office OF the
District coroner a "relic OF
ancient times" and pressing
for the medical examiner
system. The struggle con-
tinues.
DR.. whelton, meanwhile,
ia pushing for better equip
ment and more laboratory
facilities. He would also like
70 see 9 program in which
medical students would take
a tour Of duty at the morgue.
He finds the JOB challeng-
ing and q bit more interest
Ing than the chore Of daily
general practice.
AS The Rambler left, q
report came In Of q woman
who had died Of q nose bleed.

into that" said the coroner.

The
Rambler
Meets the
Coroner
By JOHN McKELWAY

AStall. conscientious young
man who always seems to be
worried about something is
the Districts coroner.
He Is Dr. Richard L. Wheel
ton, Al. a native OF WASH
'ington and a product of local
schools Tech, the University
of Maryland and the George
Washington University Med
zeal School.
Or. Whelton has been cor
oner since last September,
succeeding "a gentleman
who has the wonderful, roll
ing name OF A. MagrudCr
Macdonald. DR.. Macdonald
is retired. He had been at
the morgue for over 40 years.
The present morgue is q
two story, brick building
which went up in 1899 on the
grounds of District General
Hospital.
DR.. Whelton has three dep
uties and the morgue oper-
ates "a hours a day, seven
days a week. They investi-
gate all violent deaths and
certain unattended natural
deaths.
The cost Of running the
morgue Is about $lSS,OOO q
year. Last year, the office
investigated o6 homicides, SO
suicides, so traffic fatalities,
288 accidental deaths and
3,382 natural deaths.
And 1t held 1913 inquests--
one Of the towns oddities
and one Of the things DR..
Whelton worries about.

the coroner, usually last
about an hour or So. A Jury
Of six men-selected from q
panel BY the coroner--are
paid 81 to determine wheth-
er there is or isn't probable
cause to hold, say an accused
slayer, for action Of the.
grand Jury.
The procedure costs the
District around $4,000 a
year about half for witness
and jurors fees and the rest
for court reporters and tram
scripts.
Most lawyers have held for
years that inquests are
meaningless. Regardless Of
what the six men decide. the
United states Attorney can
take the case before the
grand Jury anyway.
DR.. Whelton Is primarily
interested in improving the
morgue's techniques for find

in putting down their Social Se- curity number and put down one that turned out to be someone else'S.
 Another 10000 taxpayers were submitting a second return for a legitimate reason.
 Agents still are checking the other 1000 and they believe most of these will turn out to be me chanical errors on the part of tax payers.
 There has been only one case in which the machines detected a case of fraud on their own and the IRS eventually reeived a tip in the same case.
 In this case, a machine rang bells when it processed several re- turns filed by William J. Deskin, truck driver. Deskin had tried to collect refunds on 125 returns He was sentenced to eight years in prison.
 The IRS said it picked up an extra $5.6 million last year in the seven states of the Southeast ern region Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North and South Carolina - be- cause the computors found 22,000 businesses which had failed to file income, exise or other tax re- turns. The failures to file were attributed generally to oversight.
 Some Southeast taxpayers may have felt that the service had giv- en up on its machines when they received a notice - along with a tax bill - Whih read somethin 3 | like this:
 This bill has been prepared by machine. If this does not agree with your return, please use your own figure.'
The Nome nugget., 1963-09-23

Does this mean the machines make errors in arithmetic?
 Lawrence Doss, assistant direc- tor of computer operations, said:
 We sent that notice out with some of the bills for payments on estimated taxes due in June of this year. We had to send out the bills well in advance of the due date, and we knew that some of the refunds due from 1862 tax returns had not been processed.
 Since some people had re- quested that their refund be de- ducted from their estimated tax payment - and this had not been processed - then the figure owed would be wrong. This bOttleneck has been strengthened out and 1t won't occur next year.
 Many of the taxpayers in the Southeast obviously are aware that their returns are being processed by machine, and the Atlanta of flee sometimes receives requests for annual check-ups.
 While the computers can add and subtract and compare certain in formation, they cannot audit, in vestigate and make judgments.
 However, they can give agents quick clues on where to look. The revenue officials prepare pull lists of returns with certain char acteriStis. For instance one such list to be pulled out for checking might show all returns in a certain income category which had de- dutions above a certain figure.
 First details on how pull lists are prepared are cataloged as secret.
 Agents are still digging into a wealth of material provided by the machines.

WASHINGTON R - The fan tastic new machinery tested by ITncle Sam's tax collectors was re- ported today to have whipped some long-standing problems with pre- ision and promptness.
 This machinery - in a com outer center at Atlanta - is part of a national program to: CD Keep tabs on whether everybody pays the taxes he owes, and @ Make sure the collectors checkers don't drown in a sea of paper work.
 At the same time, the new cleo tronic equipment has generated some problems for the Internal Revenue Service QRS.
 Despite odd side effects, the IRS reports that the center met it's major test successfully this year in processing seven million indi- vidual income tax returns in a pilot program.
 Last year the machinery success fully scanned business - as con- trasted with individual - returns as a prelude to full-size operation.
 We are very pleased with the (over-alD operation" said Clinton Walsh, Director of Computer Op- erations for the IRS.
 The Atlanta center, serving sev- en states, is the first of eight re- gional offices which will be tied electronically to a master national processing enter at Martinsburg, w. Va.
 When in full operation in 1866, the system will eliminate a tre- mendous amount of paper shuf- fling. The IRS now handles 500 million pieces of paper year, and the information they contain can now be stored on magnetic tape for easier handling and automa- tic checking.
 However, in some cases the ma. hines magnify rather than smooth over errors made by taxpayers.
 The machine in Atlanta turned up 4,0OO returns which carried the same Identification number a: returns filed earlier in the year.

Need or Want

We are creatures of need.
We live in need from the
day of birth to the day Of
death. First of all we need
food, ramimcnt and bodily
things.
We need something more
than food and drink. The
world affections cannot sat-
isfy fully our appetite.
After hearing about God.
we come to realize our need
of God. I'VE need Gods DOW
er, when we are tempted by
temptations. We need His
love when hardness and
miStrus- we meet. we need
God when pain and sorrow
darkens our path. We need
the peace and the patience Of
God amist our confused and
