CATION of mental cases. The fault,
Mr.. Daru said. lies with the law,
which recognizes insanity only as
the inability to tell right from wrong.
There are plenty of crazy men who
know what is right but DO wrong
nevertheless, he pointed out. In this
connection, it was brought out last
week that Earl Ward, the ringleader
of the Jackson riot, is considered
to be mental case. His henchman
is known, perhaps revealingly, as
"Crazy Jack" Hyatt.
Among penologists, the Michigan
prison has the reputation of having
oscillated between extremes of iron
discipline and that state of laxity
that gives a prison the name of
"con-run" institution. One prison
official expressed horror at photo
graphs which showed the Michigan
deputy warden greeting the rioters
cordially and other guards shaking
hands with the ringleaders. He also
bitterly criticized the deputy warden,
Vernon Fox, for congratulating the
prisoners on their victory.
The fact that Michigan has no
death sentence also was taken by
some authorities as a contributing
reason for the riot. Where there
is no capital punishment, lifers have
little to lose in defying prison dis
cipline. According to one penologist,
a California law provides the death
penalty for any convict aSsaulting
a guard, regardless of whether the
guard Is harmed. This Draconic law,
plus a progressive attitude toward
penology, have kept California State
prisons relatively peaceful in recent
years,

his latent unrest boi1s over The

In the opinion of some penologists,
the riots at Railway and Trenton,
N. j., and Jackson may have occurred
partly because prison officials there
lacked a plan of coping with such
outbreaks. Running a prison is
like running a military campaign"
one prison official said last week.
with a good plan. you can handle
almost any situation. Without a
plan, you're licked"
The question of whether. the
mutineers at Michigan were justified
in making their demands is rather
beside the point, according to a
number of wardens. The real puzzler
is how prison discipline can survive
a capitulation by the Government

official frankly did not know what
else could have been done without
possibly sacrificing the lives of the
guards held hostage by the convicts.

The committee sought in vain to
gain an audience with the Presi-
dent. It submitted, however, a
written appeal. Citizens associa-
!. tions held special meetings and
adopted resolutions of protest. The
Star and other newspapers de-
nounced editorially the Budget
Bureau threat to impose a new and
untried system on Washington by
what snacked of steam roller
methods.
AS the tidal wave gained momen-
tum, the President let it be known
that he still had an open mind on
the subject of District reorganiza-
ton. This was the first indication
that the Budget Bureau plan might
yet be submerged. Several promi-
nent citizens gained the Presidents
ear and advised him to go slow in
reaching any decision that could
saddle the District with a form of
government that might prove un-
workable under the unique condi-
tions prevailing at the seat of Gov
ernment.
Decision
The climax came last Wednesday
afternoon, when MIR. Truman re-
ceived Commissioners Robinson and
Donohue, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Hayes and Budget Direc-
tor Lawton at the Executive Offices.
It was evident to those present that
the President had already made up
his mind. Gen. Robinson was pre-
pared to state a list of arguments
against the Budget Bureaus pro-
posal. He never had the chance to
voice them. Mr.. Truman lost no
time in stating that he had decided
Evening star., 1952-04-27

than the plan itself was the pro-
cedure by which the Budget Bureau
sought to put its pet project over.
The Commissioners plan had been
the subject of public hearings and
long civic discussions. The bureaus
belated proposal was to be sent to
Congress without benefit of hear
ings and under a legislative ar
rangement that would put the OPP
position at a grave disadvantage.
Evening star., 1952-04-27
Chronology

Gen. Robinson already had taken
an important part in preparing
what since has become known as
the Commissioners plan for Dis
trict reorganization. This plan,
adopted by the Commissioners in
preference to one recommended by
Budget Officer Walter Fowler, had
been submitted to the Budget Bu-
reau last December. About the
same time, the Commissioners had
held public hearings on their
reorganization proposal.
Last February, Gen. Robinson
learned that Assistant Budget Di-
rector Finan was about to make
tour Of cities in the Midwest for
the purpose of studying city man
agement. Gen. Robinson requested
permission to accompany the Fed
eral official on the inspection tour.
The request was granted. Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Hayes went
along too. On the trip, it became
obvious that the Budget Bureau
was particularly interested in the
council-manager form Of city
government.
It was not until month later,
however, that the District Building
first heard that the Budget Bureau
had decided to scrap the traditional
commission form of government
here for something else. Just what
the bureau had in mind was not
at first clear. Then came The
Stars disclosure that the plan en-
visaged replacing the Commission
ers with a part-time commission,
or council, and city manager.
This is a system long promoted by
the Public Administration Service
of Chicago, q non-profit organiza-
ton with which Mr.. Finan and
several other Federal Budget Bu-
reau officials formerly had been
associated.
The bureau confirmed The Stars
news story. But it declined to give
out details Of its plan. The Com
missioners Immediately went into
a huddle and then announced that
they would fight the Budget Bu-
reau's still amorphous reorganiza-
ton proposal.
The Bottle Is Joined
Gen. Robinson and Commissioner
Donohue carried their protests to
the President on April Q, with
Budget Director Lawton in attend
ance at the White House confer
ence. The Commissioners came
away discouraged. They gained
the impression that the President
looked with favor on the Budget
Bureaus ideas. He intended tc
send some reorganization plan te
Congress on or about May l. The
time was short for convincing the
President that it was unwise tc
rush into law q municipal system
which had never been tried sue
