Doctor Who Examined
Burgman in 1916 10
Testify on Insanity

The District Court treason trial
of Herbert j. Burgman recessed
today, as the defense announced
plans to produce more medical
testimony showing that Burgman
was insane in 1916.
At yesterdays session, Dr.
Charles j. Centa of Cleveland
testified Burgman was examined
by an Army psychiatric board in
Wlesbaden. Germany, in 1916. DR..
Centa' recalled he was pronounced
mentally incompetent" at the
time and unable to distinguish
between right and wrong"
Burgman, a former clerk at the
United States Embassy in Ber-
lin, has admitted he remained in
Germany during World War II
and that he made propaganda
broadcasts~ over Nazi short wave
Station DEBUNK under the name
of Joe Scanlon."
DR.. -Centa said he had served as
president of a three-man examin-
ing board, which diagnosed Burg
condition as "schizophrenic
reaction" He said, however, he
had not examined the prisoner
himself, but had merely con-
CURED with the examination of
another board member after a
brief interview with Burgman.
Examiner To Testify.
The medical officer who made
the examination, DR.. James F.
Dyde of New York City, also has
been subpeonaed by the Defense
and is expected to testify when
the trial is resumed on Monday.
Under questioning by both de-
Tense and prosecution attorneys,
and then by Judge Alexander
Holtzoff, DR.. Centa described
schizophrenia as "a type of men,
tai illness which falls in the cate
CORY of the insanities." He said
schizophrenia is durable, and that
sometimes it is possible for a
patient . to recover "spontane-
ously" from the affection. Burg
man has been. pronounced sane
since his return to this country
last spring. So far, the defense
has not questioned the validity
of that f1nding).
DR.. Centa said he could form
no opinion as to Burgman's sanity
during the time covered in the in
dictment for treason.
Admits Preparing Material.
Continuing cross-examination
of the defendant, Chief Prosecu-
tor William A. Paisley drew ad-
missions from Burgman that he
had taken a part in the prepara-
ton of some of the material used
in the propaganda broadcasts.
What did you expect to accom-
plish by this?" asked Mr.. Paisley.
II didn't expect to accomplish
anything" Burgman replied.
What effect did you think they
would have over here?"
Il didn't think they had any
effect. Like the other people
working at the short-wave sta
ton, I believed that the programs
were trash, and had no use."
Asked why the other members
Of the station continued working
there, Burgman replied:

Back Amendments 10
Virginia Voting Laws
BY the Associated Press

The Campbell constitutional
amendments, which have provided
the powder for Virginia's usually
non explosive. general elections,
picked up a couple OF new public
supporters yesterday.
Democratic State Party Chair
man G.. Alvin Massenburg came
out for the election law changes
and said the alteration to the
constitution "Is in the best inter-
est of pure elections and in no
way does it hamstring or deter
any qualified citizens from the full
exercise of their right to vote. Z"
Adding his name to the list Of
supporters also was State Senator
Frank S. Richeson of Richmond,
who directed the States rights
presidential campaign in Virginia
last year. He contended adoption
of the amendments would be a
step in favor of States rights.
Fears Federal Dictation.
Mr.. Richeson said if the amend
ments were defeated and the Con-
gress abolished the poll tax, then
he foresaw step-by-step dictation
by the Federal Government of the
conditions under which the States
might hold their elections.
On the anti-amendment side,
Delegate Robert Whitehead and
Martin A. Hutchinson, Richmond
attorney. Joined in a statement
expressing their resentment at
being censured for alleged party
irregularjty because they opposed
ratification of the constitutional
changes.
They also said they felt the
question of adoption or rejection
Of the amendments should be a
non-partisan affair. The organi-
cation faction Of the party had
solemnly asserted this same view,
they said, but took occasion to
campaign 'aggressively for the
amendments at meetings called
for the express purpose of getting
out the Democratic vote.
Battle Replies to Wise.
There was word, too, from John
S. Battle, Democratic nominee for
Governor. in reply to the recent
blast against him and the amend
ments from Republican Henry A.
Wise.
Mr.. Wise, former COP national
committeeman from Virginia
urged Republicans last summer
to enter the Democratic primary
and vote for Mr.. Battle. Thursday
night he urged the election OF
Republican Walter johnson fol-
Governor and fayed the Demo-
cratic machine" and the amend
ment proposals.
To this Mr., Battle said: "It
appears Mr.. Wise has resumed his
former role of criticizing every
thing that is good in the Demo-
cratic Party, without any con-
Structive thoughts"

K ST. Underpas!
AT washington
Circle Studied
Plan to Relieve
Freewoy to Depend
On Traffic Count

Future action on a proposed
underpass at Washington Circle In
the line of K street will be based
on a traffic count to be made
shortly. District officials today
disclosed.
Director. Of Highways j. N.
Robertson said this count will
seek to determine the origin and
destination of traffic using the
circle and will be made soon. In
formation will be obtained in an
area extending two or three blocks
on each side of the circle and
westward to the Whitehurst Free
way at Rock Creek, he explained.
Four streets meet at the circle
K street, Pennsylvania avenue,
New Hampshire avenue and
Twenty-third street.
The Highway Department and
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic will make the traffic count
jointly.
Underpass Favored.
Mr.. Robertson said his depart
ment still favors the underpass
as part of the plan to make K
street a major east-west' traffic
artery.
While the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission would
have to pass on such plans in the
normal course of business, they
have not been placed officially
before the commission, according
to its director of planning, John
Nolen, jr.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp said his Office has taken
no official action. although the
late William A. Van Duzer agreed
with placing the Washington Cir
Gle underpass in the line of K
street when he was traffic director.
Action will depend on further
traffic studies of the new pattern
created by the recent opening of
the Whitehurst >Freeway, Mr..
Keneipp explained.
I'VE think a traffic pattern at
Washington Circle has already
been fairly well established" Mr..
Keneipp said.
No Formal Complaints.
Mr.. Keneipp explained the
Washington Circle congestion can
not be compared with that exist
ing between Z and 7:45 am. at
Barney Circle, on the west side OF
the Sousa Bridge.
Il do not want to attempt to
minimize the size of the problem
we have at Washington Circle, I"
Mr.. Keneipp said, "but we have
received no formal written COM
plants about conditions there.
The only delays have been due TO
weather or a traffic accident caus-
ing tieup."
An unofficial suggestion that
Pennsylvania avenue be cut
straight through Washington Cir,
Gle and that streets in the area
be made one-way. found no sup
port among District traffic au-
thorities. They raised these OBJ
jections: Putting the streetcar
tracks through the middle of the
circle would be costly, trees would
have to come down. traffic prob
lens would be enhanced and the
recreation value of the circle
would be lost.
