Boston Sunday Globe July 28, 196S Willie Names Faces In the News Souvenir Hunters Rush to Carve Up Hack Off Hide Sections; CG Provides Sea Burial Thomas Henry Carter, 28, has won the right to have a jury trial to see whether he behaved properly or not as an FBI employee. Carter brought suit after he was fired as an FBI clerk. He was only engaging in "perfectly normal activities" he said, when he had a young woman stay overnight in his bachelor pad in suburban Washington, D.C. Carter's dismissal came after an anonymous letter accused him of "sleeping with young girls and carrying on." It was a name and a face long out of the limelight, but former Argentine President Juan Peron looked very durable as he emerged from. a memorial Mass in Madrid for his late wife, Eva Peron.

The Coast Guard warned that even whales have rights and pointed out that anyone convicted of chasing or molesting one could be fined $10,000 or jailed a year under a Federal law. Hull police arrested two young surfers pestering Willie Thursday and charged them with a breach of a state cruelty-to-animals statute. Marine biologists from the University of Rhode Island tried to learn more about communicating with whales by recorded humpback mating calls for Willie.

He was apparently not interested. Friday Willie deserted his fans and tormentors and moved to a new locale. He was seen at sundown, prowling the shallows near the Long Island bridge in Boston harbor. Soon after that, presumably, he met his end, alone and unwatched. When the carcass was discovered at 6 a.m.

Saturday, police closed the mile-long road past the beach where Willie lay, because they figured a large throng would want to pay their last respects. They were right. The road resembled a pilgrimage trail as whale worshipers hiked down the causeway's hot pavement. Many youngsters braved a rising tide to wade but to Willie, and soon kids were using his body as a diving platform. The bright sun and cool breezes off Quincy Bay added to the atmosphere.

Even without vendors, children quickly discovered a source of souvenirs Willie himself. In scarcely an hour, much of his back was skinned while as little hands clutched pieces of hide and blubber.

Several hours a fleet of nearly 50 boats watched the whale sink to the bottom when the Coast Guard released it 1Q miles past Boston Lightship. What prompted the big humpback to venture so close to shore? Biologists weren't really sure. One noted that whales often head for offshore waters when they're old and sick and sense they're going to die.

Latest from the newspaper Peking People's Daily: "The revolutionary mass movement led by Chairman Mao has passed a political death sentence on China's Khrushchev" (that's Liu). Richard Ault, 30, knows that Bali H'ai is somewhere just over the horizon, even though he has been frustrated from finding it for five years.

In 1963 Ault began planning to live like Crusoe on an uninhabited Pacific island. In 1967 Ault, his wife, Lois, and daughter Tracey, 4, got to Hawaii and ran out of money. This June, they left California again, hoping to land on Suvarov, a green dot 600 miles east of Samao. But they were refused a landing permit. Now Ault says he'll raise more money in Los Angeles and go back to Fiji to keep searching for his own special island.

WARD SUM leporter The the State the World Tdisappear in minutes, and many 'times-we end up with an abandoned stolen car," he said. Bankers, already alarmed at the sweeping increase in robberies, are taking steps to increase existing security and their offices. 7-" Silent alarms and surveillance cameras are being installed, and "bait" money is creeping into more cash drawers. The alarms and cameras are triggered on the orders of the holdup man himself.

When he asks for the cash in the drawers, he does not know that its weight is holding down a spring switch controlling the devices. When it's passed over, they're automatically that dwafted the activitijesof interstate in the Ronnie and Clyde era. He said today's typical holdup man is young, oper-ates during the day, and usually in 88 percent of the attempts. Money taken during the robberies averages $6098, and the man flees in a car usually stolen. While some persons have been apprehended in the recent wave of holdups, the majority have not.

Law enforcement officials are divided on whether the robberies' are the work of amateurs or of a professional gang systematically striking in the suburbs. One police official, noting that many of the jobs have been well planned, said a group of professionals from Canada is working in the area. "On many of these holdups they know the layout, the escape routes, distance to the police station" and even how far away the nearest cruiser will be at a cer-'tain time. They strike and Since they have less police protection, they can be jcase.d easily with little risk of attracting attention. Escape is swift over nearby, expressways with little traffic congestion to slow robbers down or allowr.for roadblocks.

Friday 'used to be the day for robbing a bank, but Monday is increasing in popularity. Friday-night deposits from shopping centers in the suburbs are not processed over the week-end. Most bank robberies occur between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., with holdup men carrying guns. But a number of robbers use toy weapons that look like the real thing.

According to Joseph P. Healey, first vice president of the Massachusetts Bankers unless there is a change, banks will find it more difficult to hire both officers and tellers because of the risk of staring down a gun barrel real or fake. James L. Handley, special agent for the FBI in Boston told bankers at a recent convention that bank robbery reached its all-time high last year with an alarming rise xated anywhere' ih -the cflim can easily be checked determine whether' or not is stolen, and if so, when and where. While-' holdups probably, icials believe they the amount- of- moneys taken and make apprehension quicker by training employes.

Managers are urging personnel to check all protective devices to see that they are in working order. They also are making sure excess cash is swiftly transferred from the tellers to vaults. Employees also are urged to be on the alert for suspicious persons in or near the bank, and to report to the manager. During an actual holdup, they are instructed -to note the bandit's description, clothing, weapon, and physical -characteristics. If possible, without provoking the bandits -to violence, they are to 'activate the alarms, signal coworkers and include bait in the loot.

types of robbery, bank holdups have increased 154 percent since 1960. In numbers, it means that, bank robberies' have creased from 154 to 2551 a year ago. Reluctantly, both bank and police officials admit that if someone wants to rob a bank, he will, despite security and protective devices. Officials also agree that the majority of holdups take place at branches in outlying areas rather than in central, downtown headquarters. Reasons for the marked increase, according to the United States Investor, a trade publication, are the rising population, poverty and unemployment.

At the same time, the large population shift to the suburbs has resulted in a sharp increase of branch banks. In keeping with modern architecture, banks now are spacious and open, unlike earlier models with bars, grill work and guards. The old saying that something is "as safe as money in. the bank" needs revision. recent-events are' any indication, 1 money in the bank is not safe 'from robbers.

And in many cases, the holdup man need not carry a gun to make a sizeable "withdrawal." During the past week, six armed holdups took place at banks in Greater Boston. The total for the month now stands at eight. During June, three holdups were reported by State Police, who compiled a running list from teletype and FBI reports. Their records, from Jan. 1 to date, note the following number of bank holdups: May, June, July, so far.
