Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws OF
District Court today set January 80
as the date for a lunacy hearing for
Ezra Pound, expatriate poet, charged
with treason for propaganda broad
casts from Rome during the war.
Justice Laws ordered the lunacy
hearing on motion of the Govern
ment made by Isaiah Matlack and
Donald Anderson, Justice Depart
ment attorneys.
On December 81, Pound was re-
ported by board of four PSYCHE
artists to be mentally unfit for trial.
He was arrested after the occupa-
tion of Italy and was flown back
to this country in November.
Seven Italian radio station en-
ployes were flown here to testify at
his trial.
If Pound should be found of un-
sound mind at the regular lunacy
hearing, he probably will be COM
mitted to st. Elizabeth's Hospital
for prolonged treatment. If he
should be found of sound mind
steps then would be taken to bring
him to trial on the treason charge
The psychiatrists, who in Decem-
Der reported the 60-year-old Pound
unfit mentally to stand trial, as
