Sanity Examination
Bill Sought for DC.
As Sex Crime Check
Commissioners Seek TO
Broaden Commitment
Powers Of Police Court

In further effort to curb sex
crimes In Washington the Commits
sioners have asked Congress to
broaden the power of Municipal
Court to commit prisoners in crimi-
nal cases to Gallinger Hospital for a
30-day mental examination if the
court feels there is prima facie
evidence of unsound mind
In transmitting the proposed bill
the Commissioners cited indecent
exposure as an illustration of the
type Of cases in which this added
authority would be helpful to the
court.
The city heads pointed out that
under existing law Police Court
judges do not have specific authori-
ty to order psychiatric examination
Of defendants in criminal cases.
Such authority is desirable, they
said, to prevent the subsequent
commission of more serious sex
crimes by such defendants.
District officials say that, without
the authority to obtain such pre-
1iminary mental examinations, it Is
virtually impossible in most cases
to establish the insanity of de-
fendant In q jury trial.
There is already pending in Con-
gress companion bill to increase
the penalty for conviction of in
decent exposure. At present the
penalty is limited to a fine of not
more than $3.50. The bill would
authorize Jail sentence of not
more than 90 days or the fine of
not more than $3.50.

sabotaged. It is the task of every
single member of the CLIO to smash
any such attempt. Victory can and
must be won with the successful
enforcement of President Roose-
velt's entire economic program"
Murray's warning was sharply
underscOred when the sO-called
farm bloc" this week over-rode
ono Of the central points In the
program in q 2O5 to liz vote up
plug farm prices over the parity
level.
The vote came as an amendment
to the sterilization bill and would
allow labor costs" of farmers to
be figured in arriving at parity,
thus raising parity to 112 percent.
This will result in sharp increases
in food costs, amounting in some
instances to as much as 80 percent.
REACTIONARY MOVE
This inflationary maneuver. de-
scribed in the newspapers as a
"farm-bloc revolt" was engineered
by a combination Of polltaX Demo-
Gratis and their Republican brothers
in reaction. 1t was carried through
despite warnings from Administra-
ton leaders that the President
would veto the bill, thus opening
the whole question again.
In his letter to CLIO affiliates.
Murray stressed the price stabili-
zation point as one of the most i'm
portant of the seven, declaring:
"This bill (the sterilization bill,
81 Res ISL in the Senate) must be
passed without the threatened
amendments from the farm bloc
leaders in Congress who are not
really thinking Of the interests Of
the farmers or Of the people, but
rather are prompted by selfish mo-
tives.
Parity for farm prices Is the
standard demanded by President
Roosevelt. It IL o fair standard
for the farmers. 1t Is the stand
ard that must be embraced I'm

Two Bills
Entered on
Labor Draft

Washington, Sept. 26-Two bills
and a weller of statements were
tossed into the general manpower
situation this week. One bill. Of
fered by Senator Lister Hill OF Ala,
authorizes the President TO mobilize
all labor and industry at any time
he sees fit. The other. sponsored
by Sen. Pepper of Fla. simply calls
for five-man Senate Committee to
investigate the problem.
Earlier. the situation was aired
in statements by Manpower Com
missioner Paul v. McNutt, by Sec
rotary OF Labor Perkins. and other
government officials. All indica-
tions point to an early move to pass
a national service act that will
mobilize every worker in the coun-
try for war production.
Meanwhile labor representatives
on the Manpower Commission were
reported preparing a plan to tight
en- up existing manpower mobill-
cation facilities before resorting to
a service act. These plans include
stopping up present leaks in en-
ployment, full use of present faclll-
ties and powers under the order
setting up the commission. and fur
Their use of the executive powers Of
the President.

ers their lawful rights.
The request for a federal
probe came from Frank McAllls-
ter Of the Southern Workers De-
tense League following a confer
ence with Oscar Doyle. U. S. dis
trict attorney.
The Pendleton Manufacturing
Co. has fired seven leaders OF a
recent spontaneous walkout, organ
lied forcible expulsion of other
workers from the mill community
and tolerated attacks on union
members at the mill gates.
Low PAY SCALE
Trouble flared several weeks ago
when the workers pulled a spon-
taneous walkout against SIS a week
wages, while organized employees
at the company's Philadelphia plant
receive about $40 a week. Aided
by Witherspoon Dodge, representa-
tive of the Textile Workers, the
strikers won a promise of pay In
creases and no firings.
When the mill went back on Its
promise by discharging eight local
leaders, the TWAS Philadelphia
local sent its president. r. Van Rip
per, to investigate. He was greeted
by a mob of company thugs who
beat him and tried to throw him
in the mill pond. A 65-year old
worker with a son in the armed
foxces had his shoulder wrenched
seriously when he was dragged out
Of the plant in a company-inspired
expulsion.
One Of the active workers. Earl
Taylor. was beaten twice during
one day. When he asked for pro-
lection from the sheriff's office, he
was told that il he "left those damn
union people alone. he wouldn't get
into any trouble"

from Bridges, who spoke on the
extreme danger to our country in
the way the war is going today,
and who urged an immediate Sec
ond front and freedom for India as
necessary steps in beating the Axis.
1.-THE turning point in the war
can come through the opening of
a second 'front.'" he said. 1--WE had
better get started on it before
Stalingrad falls. since that can cas-
lily mean the loss of initiative and
offensive striking power of the
Russian armies and could be the
signal for a Japanese attack, not
only along the Siberian border, but
reaching out to the western shores
of America"
Turning to the wartime program
OF organized labor. Bridges said:
I'VE have learned that the job can
be done. We have learned that we
can build organizationally in war
time and still preserve the funda-
mental gains and benefits of our
workers at the same time. We have
learned that we can improve and
strengthen our union and still
drive for about production"

SCORES OPA
Murrays letter, a call to action
on the whole victory economy pro-
gram, emphasized failure of the
Office of Price Administration,
headed by Leon Henderson. to put
effective controls on runaway liv-
ing costs and its evasion Of the ra-
tloning issue.
The three factors mainly respon-
sible for spiraling costs are the
loopholes on farm prices (now
blown wide open by the House ac-
tion). the fact that OPA has been
willing to listen to the wailings
OF businessmen and has permitted
prices to RISE" and the fact that
OPA has not really tackled the
problem Of rationing." which must
be done on an overall. democratic
basis. The OPA, Murray wrote,
must forget its present approach
of puttering around with individual
commodities"
TAX SABOTAGE
The Murray letter was equally
sharp on the sabotage OF the 1912
tax bill by both Houses Of Con-
gress.
"If the tax bill IL enacted as ut
present formulated it will be
one Of the gravest blows against
the war effort" he said. Blame
for this situation lies on both
Congress and Administration
leaders, who have both practiced
"taxes as usual"
