Ford Says He Resents
Guinea Piq' Treatment

DALLAS. Dec. 13 (P.-Henry
Ford II says he resents "the auto
mobile industry being made a
guinea pig for price cutbacks."
IF all industry is to be treated
in the same way, We'll be glad
to go along. But the program
should be uniform and applied
equally" Mr.. Ford told a news
conference yesterday.
At the same conference he pre-
dicted that auto production in
1851 may be cut back as much
as so per cent from record break
ing 1850 levels, with the guiding
factor "the materials situation"
Mr.. Ford was here to speak to-
day to the American Farm Bureau

Child Sex Victims
Urged by 0yerhoIser

One of the greatest needs in
Washington's attack on sex crimes
is protection of complaining wit
nesses who are children, accord
ing to DR.. Winfred Overholser
superintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital.
The noted pSychiatrist said
many sex offenders escape prose-
cution because families "do not
want their children to have to
testify in open court" AS a result,
he added, such offenders fire.
quently are charged simply with
disorderly conduct.
To eliminate the embarrass-
ment or possible sense of shame
connected with court appearances
DR.. Overholser said, some modi-
fed use of juvenile court practice
in which the public is barred
might be instituted.
AS another possibility, he added
judges might clear the court when
such cases come up for considera-
ton.
DR.. Oyerholser participated in a
panel discussion of the city's sex
crime problems at the District
Social Hygiene Society's annual
luncheon yesterday in the YWCA,
held in observance of National
Social Hygiene Day.
DR.. Overholser praised such
legislation as the Miller Act as an
important step toward meeting
the dual needs of treating sexual
psycopaths and removing them
from society. The act increased
penalties for sex crimes and per-
mitted direct commitment of Of
tenders to st. Elizabeths. 1t pro-

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay said his Office purpose
ly has been moving slowly" in
committing offenders under the
Miller Act.
"We've decided we aren't going
to try to oAmake it a cure-all for the
sex crime problem. and we want to
make sure we have the serious
habitual offenders before referring
them" he declared.
James V. Bennett, director of
the United States Bureau of Pris-
ons, said there is need for a means

turned over to the courts for
possible prosecution. when they
are discharged from the hospital.
Within the last 20 months, only
20 patients have been. committed
under the act, however, the hos
pital soon may discharge the first
of them, DR.. Overholser said.
Among the 20 patients, he said
are some sexual psychopaths who
were brought into court for crimes
not directly involving sex. The
legislation recognizes, he said, that
such persons may know right from
wrong and need not be considered
insane"
DR.. ,Overholser also said he
thought persons guilty of rape and
