Th Nws Journal, Wilmington, Saturday, Fob. 11, 1984 A5' IN MEMORIAM Obituaries Drunk case stricken in roadblock dispute Peter C. Jones, founder of longshoremen's local Associated Press WEST CHESTER, Pa. A judge on Thursday struck down a drunken driving case after several state and local police officials ignored warnings that arbitrary roadblocks might violate state law. Judge Charles B.

Smith of Common Pleas Court thus declared certain roadblocks illegal and ordered charges dropped in a case involving a man who was stopped by state police in July. District Attorney James McElree said on Friday that he prosecuted the case despite his own reservations about the legal grounds. He said he had "suggested" to police in the county last year that they forego roadblocks in their campaigns against drunken drivers because state law requires an arresting officer to have "reasonable suspicion or probable cause" before stopping a suspect. However, three police departments, including th state police men's union, Mr. Jones believed in and practiced civil rights in his hiring policy during a time when such ideas were unpopular especially during the Depression years, when everyone was competing for a job.

"He was justly proud of dealing fairly with his fellow men," said a family member. Through the years, Mr. Jones often told his family stories highlighting his years in the local union presidency. One such story involved the local's working for a flat rate on a gunpowder product during World Warll. Mr.

Jones learned that a Philadelphia company was doing the same work and getting additional compensation for working with a dangerous substance. He demanded arbitration with the Du Pont Co. to review the pay differences. The Du Pont representatives had argued that their product was not dangerous, Mr. Jones told his family.

So he proceeded to take from his pocket a match and a small sample of the gunpowder. Before he could light the match, he said, the company officials agreed to grant extra compensation to his union members. Mr. Jones' wife, Hedwig died in 1976. He is survived by two daughters, Doris Wilson, with whom he had lived, and Patricia Marshall of Manette Heights; a sister, Frances Conway of Long Island, N.Y.; and a grandson.

Mass of Christian Burial will be offered Monday at 11 a.m. at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, 809 S. Broom with entombment in St. Hedwig's Crypt in Cathedral Cemetery.

Friends may call Sunday after 7 p.m. at the McCrery Memorial Funeral Home, 3924 Concord Pike, Talleyville. By KATE SALVATORE Staff reporter Peter C. Jones, co-founder and former president of the Wilmington local of the International Longshoreman's Association, died of kidney failure and pneumonia Thursday in the Memorial Division. Mr.

Jones, 83, lived at his daughter's home at 1517 Forsythia The Timbers, and was formerly of 406 S. Franklin St. He came to the Wilmington area from Liverpool, England, in the early 1920s, after serving in the British Navy. He later worked for a short time in the coal mines of Pennsylvania and then returned to Wilmington. In 1924 Mr.

Jones co-founded Longshoreman's Local 1223, now Local 1694, at the Wilmington Marine Terminal. He served as president of the union until World War II interrupted trade at the port. On Dec. 19, 1941, speaking for the union, he declared that all strikes by longshoremen would be barred because of the war effort whether due to wages or unfair working conditions. If necessary, "as in World War a stevedore regiment will be formed" to work with the Department of War in moving war materials, he said.

During the war, he worked at the Pusey and Jones Corp. and Harlan Corp. shipbuilding companies. After the war, he worked in the maintenance department at the Du Pont Co. Experimental Station for 15 years, before retiring in 1965.

He was actively employed through age 70, working as a security guard at Delaware Park. As president of the longshore Fight in laundromat ends in stabbing, arrest Clarence A.

A Brandywine Hundred woman was stabbed Thursday night during an argument at the Bellefonte Laundromat in the 800 block of Brandywine New Castle County police said. Ruth Reed, 39, of the 900 block of Brandywine was in fair condition Friday night at the Delaware Division, where she is being treated for a stab wound in her abdomen and a cut across her right hand, police said. Police arrested Jean Lutz, 45, of the 400 block of Shipley Wilmington, and charged her with first-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony. She was arraigned on the charges at Magistrate Court 11 in New Castle and released under $6,000 bond, police said. Police said the two women had been arguing in the laundromat about 7:20 p.m.

when Lutz pulled out a knife and stabbed Reed. Investigators said the confrontation stemmed from a prior conflict between the women, but the specifics were not disclosed. Gasoline leak at station closes lanes on U.S. 202 Gasoline leaking from an underground tank at a service station on Concord Pike (U.S. 202) in Talleyville forced the closing of both southbound lanes of the highway for more than eight hours Thursday night and early Friday morning, but no fire or injury was reported.

More than 200 gallons of the explosive fuel flowed onto the road "in rivers" according to a witness, after a pipe burst beneath a service island at the Talleyville Sunoco Service Center about 9:50 p.m. Thursday. Police and fire officials said the highway's southbound lanes were restricted until about 6 a.m. Friday, and the spillage had been cleaned up in time for the morning rush-hour traffic. A private spill-recovery firm spread two dump truck loads of sand on a 200-foot stretch of the 3000 block of Concord Pike across from Arby's Roast Beef restaurant to soak up the fuel.

Attendants at the station checking tank levels noticed "a considerable amount" of gasoline was missing, according to Bill Preston, chief of the Talleyville Fire Company, and then noticed the fuel bubbling up from cracks in the station EarlT.Collas HAVERTOWN, Pa.

barracks at Avondale, set up road-' blocks despite the warnings. Smith ruled that the police who stopped Eric Troy Jackson, 22, of West Grove, on July 9 had no reason to believe Jackson was intoxicated but stopped him only as part of the DUI (driving under the influence) Counter Measures Program, a federally funded project operated by state police from July through Thanksgiving. In his written opinion. Smith said state law does not permit "arbitrary blocking of the commonwealth's highways to seek out intoxicated motorists." "Mindful of the Orwellian year in which we write, we are compelled to identify the individual freedoms and public safety issues which compete when the public's right of free i passage upon our public highways is interrupted," Smith said. McElree said other counties! probably will follow the decision, although it is only legally binding in Chester County.

Police He said the fuel apparently leaked from a pipe running from a buried tank to the gas pumps on the island above. State police diverted traffic from the area while workers scraped up the saturated sand with a small road grader and dumped it onto a sheet of plastic.

The defendant, Elwood H. "Woody" Harper, 38, of the unit block of Darlington Road, Harmony Hills, was sentenced by Judge Joshua W.

Martin III of Superior Court to consecutive terms of two years in jail on each of three charges of first-degree reckless endangering. Martin suspended the last two years for probation. Harper pleaded guilty to the charges on Nov. 23. He initially was charged with attempted first-degree murder by firing several shots from a rifle out of a window at Deville Court Apartments, off the Kirkwood Highway, where he then lived.

The incident occurred on Sept. 3, and Howard Hillis, Harper's attorney, said that Harper was under emotional pressure at the time because he and his girlfriend had been harassed over a period of time. Hillis said a night of drinking also contributed to the problem. yavciiiciii aim iiuwiiig umu iuu- cord Pike. Man gets 4 for firing from.
