Ezra Pound Called
Still Unfit for Trial

Ezra Pound, 50, eccentric poet and
expatriate, still suffers from a psy-
chiatric condition which makes him
unfit for trial on a treason charge,
District Court was told today. Pound
is under indictment in connection
with propaganda broadcasts, made
in Italy during the war.
DR.. Wendell Muncie, phychiatrist
Of Johns Hopkins Hospital, testified
at lunacy hearing before Chief
Justice Bolitha j. Laws that an ex-
animation of the defendant made
this month revealed no change in
his "distractability."
DR.. Muncie said Pound is unable
to pursue coherent line of reason
ing on any subject and is unable
to give logical statement of any
phase of his case"
The psychiatrist's testimony SUBJ
stantially followed the tenor of q
report made to the court last De-
cember which held Pound to be
incapable of comprehending the full
import of the charge.
DR.. Marion r. King, medical di-
rector of the United States Public
Health Service, who followed DIR
Muncie on the stand, offered a SIM
liar appraisal and said he consid.
cred Pound "a sensitive, eccentrica
cynical person"
During the hearing Pound hunched
over a table in front of him and
alternately buried his head in his
hands or ran his fingers nervously
through his hair.

Coal Driver Check Planned
To Combat Short WEIGHTS

District coal dealers have adopted
a personnel check system to end
short-weight deliveries by irrespon-
sible drivers, j. Thomas Kennedy,
municipal markets superintendent,
said today.
Mr.. Kennedy, who recommended
the plan, said some dealers have had
trouble with drivers who left only
part of the authorized load at homes
and business establishments. The
remainder was sold on the black
market by the dishonest drivers, he
added.
Under the new plan, no coal deal
er will hire a new man before first
contracting other coal firms to see
whether or not the applicant has
worked as a coal hauler before and
what kind of a record he had. If
the checkup should reveal that the
applicant had been employed before,
and had been dismissed for an Of

cries, he will not be hired.
