A rmyOfficer ’sFa te In Hands of Court FT. JACKSON, S. C. <A>)_The government rested its case Thurs day in the general court-martial of a young Army officer charged in connection with the “grease tray” episodes at this infantry training base. Lt. Gerald L. Wheatley, 23, Bridgeton, N. J., pleaded innocent to three charges of assault and battery, two of conduct unbecom ing an officer and one charge of maltreating recruits. Wheatley, a 1956 graduate of The Citadel, faces a maximum sentence of 8% years in prison and dismissal from the service if convicted on all six charges. The defense managed to get one witness before the court-martial board before it recessed until Fri day morning. Wheatley’s counsel read into the record three Army efficiency re ports on the officer. These de scribed him as a “courteous, con siderate and aggressive offi cer” who showed “great willing ness to accept responsibility.” Earlier, however, a young- trainee—William A. Frisby, Ashe ville, N. C.-—testified for the Methodist Aggies Start New Project Members of the Wesley Founda tion have started painting the in terior of their meeting place. The building, a World War II barracks, was converted to its present state in 1952. It was used for church services prior to this time. Rev. Bob Cooper, director of the Wesley Foundation, stated the building had not been painted since 1952. Ken Dalchau is in charge of the project. Methodist Aggies are urged to lend a hand in the work.

Makes College Safe A&M Safety Director Gets Citation from Safety Council John W. Hill, personnel insur ance and safety director of the A&M College System, has been honored by the National Safety Council for his efforts in behalf of college and university 'safety. He was presented with a plaque while attending the 40th National Safety* Congress in Chicago, Illi nois, recently. Dr. Lowell B. Fisher, president of the North Central ■Association for Colleges and Secondary Schools, and vice president of the National Safety Council for schools and Colleges, made the presentation during the general session of the School and College Division of the National Safety Council. The plaque is inscribed . . . “in appreciation for outstanding and devoted service as general chair man of the Higher Education Sec tion, 1957-58.” During the past several years, Hill has worked for the reactiva tion of the Higher Education Sec tion as a formal part of the Na tional Safety Council. His efforts were culminated with success when the section was reorganized in October, 1957. He was named chairman of the section. While serving as chairman this past, year, he directed the organ ization of three subdivisions td the Higher Education Section—camp us safety, research and college safety education. Hill was re-elected chairman of the section for another year. In presenting the plaque, Fisher declared that it was through Hill’s Court Says Can Protect Reporters Sources WASHINGTON (TP) — The Su preme Court Thursday was asked to. declare newspaper reporters have a constitutional right to re fuse to reveal news sources. The request was made in an appeal filed on behalf of televi sion columnist Marie Toree of the New York Herald Tribune. She was sentenced to 10 days in jail for refusing to divulge the source of a story she wrote about singer Judy Garland. Miss Torre based her defense on the Constitution’s First Amend ment which guarantees freedom of the press. She contended the amendment gave her the right to decline to disclose the name of a Columbia Broadcasting System executive who assertedly was the source of information for the story about Miss Garland. “At stake is the public’s right * r, CQK£ ,> »S A WCGISTCRCO TftAOC-MARK. COPYRIGHT © 1953 THE COCA-COLA COMPANY. Safe Deposit John always did take things too seriously . . . like that habit of locking his Coke up in a safe! Sure everybody likes Coca-Cola . . . sure there’s nothing more welcome than the good taste of Coca-Cola. But really— a safe just for Coke! Incidentally-* know the combination, anyone? ol/ . M SIGN OF GOOD TASTE Uottled under authority of The Coca-Cola Company by BRYAN COCA COLA BOTTLING COMPANY to know the news—and the press freedom to gather it,” the appeal to the Supreme Court said. “This case presents a question of vital importance to every newspaper in the United States ...” Federad Dist. Judge Sylvester J. Ryan of New York imposed the sentence on Miss Torree after ex pressing sympathy for her. He ruled, however, that her position was improperly taken. Miss Torre then was released on her own recognizance. Later the U. S. Circuit Court in New York upheld the contempt conviction of Miss Toi’re. An opin ion by Judge Potter Stewart now a Supreme Court justice declared, “The contempt that it is the duty of a witness to testify in a court of laws has roots as deep as does the guarantee of a free press.” Miss Torre’s article was publish ed by the Herald Tribune on Jan. 10, 1957. Miss Garland later filed a $1,393,333 breach of contract and libel suit against CBS. Neither Miss Torre nor the Herald Tribune was named as a defendant in the suit. But Miss Toiueje became in volved when she was called as witness and refused to give the name of the CBS executive.

Fisher said it was the first conference in the nation de voted to college and university safety. Hill participated in various other phases of the Congress in Chicago. He represented A&M as a voting delegate at the annual meeting of the National Safety Council and attended meetings of two commit tees on which he has membership. One is the advisory committee of “Safety Education”, a maga zine published by the School and College Division of the National Safety Council, and the other is a special committee striving to de velop a standard form to be used by all colleges and universities for reporting student injuries. Hill has been active in the field of safety for many years and has taken part in the activities of the National Safety Council for the past 12 years. During World War II he served as coordinator of the Air Force Ground Safety School at Chanute Field, 111., the only such school in the Air Force. Prior to joining the A&M Sys tem as director of Workmen’s Compensation Insurance on May 1, 1948, he was a safety engineer in the Insurance Division of the State Highway Department. He set up an accident preven tion course in the A&M Depart ment of Industrial Education and. taught the course for five years. Safe Program For Bonfire Set By Instructor A safety program is being form ulated again this year for the bon fire according to Frank Nixson. Nixson, safety instructor in the Department of Industrial Educa tion, has helped direct the pro gram for two years and has seen the accident rate reduced 40 per cent. Although Nixson has not re ceived official word,from the Corps plans have already been started. These plans call for a safety pro gram presented a week before the building of the bonfire. The pro gram will consist of a talk by Nixson or a member of the Stu dent Safety Society to each dorm. Slide pictures taken last year will be shown to help impress the im portance of safety while building the bonfire. Areas to be covered include the correct method of using an ax, proper clothing to wear, correct position in lifting a log and basic first-aid practices. Nixson concluded by saying he felt sure the program would be very effective if it helped to get the students “safety conscious.” Brazos Mothers Plan Scholarships The Brazos County A&M Moth ers Club will give their annual Game Party Nov. 6, at 2 p.m. in the recreation room of the A&M Presbyterian Church.
