officials who want to see the
work of some of these inspectors
consolidated contend that in
some cases inspectors from diff
ferent departments are checking
exactly the same things. In other
cases they contend the inspec-
tors are visiting the same places
to check different things but
these items are routine enough
for one man to check what three
men are now checking.

Wiley Wants More Teeth in Pact Resolution

Iowa, also cautioned care in en-
tering the field Of renouncing or
interpreting international COM
pacts. He said he has always
opposed the practice Of negoti-
ating executive agreement in
place of treaties, and thus elimi-
mating Senate participation.
But. having followed that ar
rangement, he said, the nations
with whom the compacts were
made have a right to assume
they were made in good faith.
At the same time, he said, pres
ident Eisenhower is wholly right
in insisting that we hold those
who have entered into an agree
ment with us to the same strict
ness of Interpretation and that
they not be permitted to distort

Humphrey Sees Support.
4. Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat. Of Minnesota. said the reso-
luton to encourage peoples be-
hind the Iron Curtain probably
will receive Overwhelming sup
port" He said it should be made
clear to the American people,
however, that there is nothing
new in the resolution, because it
has been the traditional policy
of the United States since the
days Of Woodrow Wilson" to OPP
pose enslavement Of free peo-
Piles. 81
This is just another Of these
7th Fleet orders" said Senator
Humphrey, "in that it formalizes
what has, already happened"
The Minnesota Senator ex-
planned that some people had the
impression that the Eisenhower
order removing the 7th Fleet as
barrier between Formosa and
the China mainland would pave
the way for raids on the Com
munist-held mainland by Chang
Kai-shek's forces. Such raids
had been going on for some time,
the Senator commended.
Extensive Study Needed.
In announcing the Tuesday
meeting of his committee, Chair.
man Wiley said the Eisenhower
resolution will require extern
sive study" of all it's implica-
tions. He added:
j, IT would be less than frank
to say that, in some respects,
the draft resolution is disap-
pointing. One Of those respects
is that it merely rejects any
interpretations or applications
Of any international agreements
which have been perverted
to bring about =. {. subjugation
of free peoples whereas ac-
tually, I believe the American
people have, by and large. felt
that numerous clauses of the
secret agreements were wrong
in and OF themselves from the
very beginning, even before they
had been misinterpreted, mis-
applied and violated by Soviet
Russia.
Hopes for Stronger Draft.
II should hope for a strength
ening of the draft in order to
more clearly and accurately set
forth the sentiments of the
American people. Such strength
ening would be in line with a
flrmer. more vigorous foreign
policy which goes beyond mere
'containment.' I do not, how
ever, for one moment under
estimate the difficulties and
complexities of effecting such
change. '-
zone of the obvious factors
which gives us pause is that
there have been and there re-
main strong differences be-
tween the Republican and Demo-
cratic Parties as to tine secret
agreements. Yet, the very value
of passing any resolution on
this subject would be impaired
if wide-open disunity were 70 be

George Sees No Objection.
Senator George of Georgia,
top-ranking Democrat on For
eign Relations, said he does not
think the Eisenhower draft is as
strong as the public at first in
ferred it would be-. He saw no
objection to it as 1t stands.
Obviously thinking of possible
amendments aimed at outright
reputation of the World War II

Court Clinic Urged
ToExaln1inIe Offenders
As Sex Psychopafhs

A st. ElizabethS Hospital
psychiatrist last night called for
a psychiatric clinic in the courts
to examine sex psychopaths.
DR.. Bernard A. Cruvant, a
chief Of service at st. Elizabeths,
told a meeting of psychiatrists
that. until the clinic he advo-
Gates is established, men accused
Of being sex psychopaths should
be committed temporarily to
hospital to determine If they
really are sex psychopaths.
DR.. Cruvant also recommend
ed that the law providing for
the disqualification Of these Of
tenders should include those
accused of rape and attempts
to commit rape.
He said those committed as
sex pSychopaths are allowed to
leave st. Elizabeths on trial
visits. as in the case of other
patients. He proposed that the
law be rewritten to authorize
these trial visits, which are de-
signed to determine whether the
patients can get along in the
community.
Court Could Step In.
DR.. Cruvant also sought a
change in the law to provide
that those not amenable to
treatment could be sent back to
the court for other disposition.
DR.. Cruvan't analysis was
made at joint meeting Of the
Washington Psychiatric Society,
the Washington Psychoanalytic
Society and the Medical Society
Of st. Elizabeths Hospital, held
in the District Medical Society
Auditorium.
DR.. Francis J. Tartaglino of
st. Elizabeths, in a report on
the So prisoners who have been
committed to the hospital as sex
pSychopathS, told the group the |
sex psychopaths do not At any
one pattern Of behavior.
He said the average age Of the |
b9 sex psychopaths was 80 years
and that they varied in age from
18 to 70 years. He said 81 were
white and 28 were colored.
Four Of them, he said, were
college graduates and four were
professional persons, including
an artist. school teacher and
two music teachers. Also in the
group were a former policeman |
attached to the Vice Squad and |
a retired soldier never arrested
before his retirement.
Children Involved.
In 80 of the SO cases, DR.. Tar
taglino said, the offenses in
volved children. OF those mo-
Tested, the victims ranged in age
from to II years for boys, and
from 5 to IA years for girls.
e DR.. Tartaglino reported his
study showed that 35 of the So
were married or had been mar
ried. OF the % accused of in
decent exposure, the psychiatrist
said, 18 said they committed
the offense while under the in
fuence of alcohol.
The SO men had $50 arrests in
all, DR.. Tartaglino reported. In
the group. he said. were 13 with
juvenile records. On the other
hand, there was a 70-year-old I
man who had never been in
trouble until he was &64, a 54-
year-old who had had no diff
culties until he was 40 and the
50-year-old soldier who never
was arrested before his retire
ment.
DR.. Tartaglino said the aver
age disqualification amounted to
20 months. with the hospital stay
ranging from 10 to so months.
Since the sex psychopath law
was passed four years ago, 26
patients have been discharged,
1t was reported, and none has
gotten into later trouble.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
The television station total in
the Nation has been shooting
upward at an increasing rate
since the turn of the new year.
The latest compilation puts the
number at 1876 in 70 cities.
When the 3la-year-old license
freeze set up by the Federal
Communications Commissions
finally was ended last year. the
list was 108 in IS cities. The
current total does not include
the station at Matamoras, Mex,
which also serves the area
around Brownsville, Tex, directly
across the border.
The 18 new stations are To-
Gated in IA communities hereto
fore without TV. -Four of them.
Denver, Honolulu, Ell Paso and
Mobile, got two stations each.
The others are in Atlantic City.
Austin, Tex, Colorado Springs,
Lubbock, Tex. Portland. Ore,
Roanoke, Va. South Bend, Ind,
Spokane, WASH, Wilkesbarre,
Pa, and York, Pa.
Six of the new stations are
operating on the new ultra high
frequency (UHF channels just
going into regular program use.
They are located in Atlantic
City, Mobile, Portland. Ore,
South Bend. Wilkes-Barre and
York.
Twenty-Five other stations are
scheduled to come on between
now and the 1St Of March.
Licenses have been issued to
about 130 additional units. Sew
eral hundred other applications
remain to be acted upon. Many
of these will have to go into
hearings because Of channel con-
f1icts.
When the electric power serv-
ice goes out in an ice storm,
there's probably no more helpless
an individual than q radio-TV
editor. No matter how he rants
and raves, he can't see that show
he'd particularly noted for at
tention.
His portable radio sets are no
help. The batteries long since
have gone dead from want Of
use. He can't borrow the neigh
borS' sets. They get their power
from the same dead supply lines.
That leaves only one recourse,
to battle the storm to the nearest
darkened radio store-like every
body else in town-and line up
before the counter hoping the
disappearing supply Of batteries
will hold out until it's his turn.
Back home after lodging
fallen tree limbs and the spark
ing protests of grounded light
wires, only the Pickering glow Of
a candle is available while he
works on the portables. At last
one Of the sets is working al
though weakly.
Meanwhile. the house is get

but to 60 to bed to keep warm.

HOLLYWOOD.

For some strange reason TV
seems to lack the ability tc
establish it's own big names OF
star personalities.
Strip away all Of the hoopla
about the mediums tremendous
impact on the entertainment
world and you'll find that the
only stars which TV actually can
call it's own are Gorgeous
George, Baron Leone, Howdy
Doody, Beany, and Kukla, Fran
and Ollie.
The only possible exceptions
I can think of are Imogene Coca
and Sid Caesar. and although
they zoomed to stardom on TV
both were veterans entertainers
before being discovered" by the
new medium.
The stage, movies and radio
have long records of star-mak-
ing. Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper
and Jack Benny are just a few
of many examples to prove that
these media establish names
which endure for decades.
So what's the matter with TV?
The big names on our video
screens today are Jimmy Du-
rante, Burns and Allen. Groucho
Marx, Arthur Godfrey, Red
Shelton and a score of others
who were well-known to most
of us before we bought a TV
set.
Lucille Ball could get 100000
for a movie before Hollywood
ever heard of video.
I almost forgot Wally Cox
(Mr. Peepers). His mere four
years of performing in night
clubs doesn't disqualify him
from being what might be
termed a Tv product. He has
a great talent. But it's a little
early to tell yet. TV seems to
have a faculty for running great
talents after it does discover
them.
Take such veterans as Ken
Murray, Alan Young. Danny
Thomas, Jack Carson, Ed Wynn
and Fred Allen. All Of them had
their TV fling, and presently are
hanging on the ropes-bloody
and a little bowed.
Maybe the TV industry could
argue that it's too young yet to
have made it's own stars. But
TV has done all right with pup
pets and the /grunt-and-groan
fraternity.
I suspect that some of the
fault lies in the fact that TV
was born as an expensive me-
dium. It cost big dough right
from the start-even to build q
modest local show.
This coupled with the net
works and stations fear of
gambling with their own or the
sponsors money, sent TV pro-
ducers scurrying around to find
what they considered "sure fire"
talent. So they borrowed from
the movies. stage and radio.
It's a short-sighted view, how
ever, and TV had better begin
thinking about the future. Men
should be brought into the pro-
duction and exploitation end OF
the TV business who know how
to find and develop new talent,
sign it to iong-term contracts
and build it into stardom.
Otherwise, the public may one
day decide to go back to the
theater and movies, where it can
see the same stars plus a lot OF
new ones; and where they dom I

Arab population has increased by
more than $4,000 during the near

They are estimated at 10000.
About 5000 per year are account
