FPC Gets Power To Set Gas
SuppIiers' Rates

WASHINGTON, D. c. = Federal
Power Commission can regulate the
rates of natural gas suppliers, even
when they don't own a pipeline or
have ties with firm that does. This
appeals court decision the Supreme
Court, November 80, refused to re-
view. So the decision stands. FPC
never used the authority. 1t agreed
with Phillips Petroleum Company that
it didn't have the power. But group
of large cities pressed the case, won.
Pipeline rates have been subject to
FPC review. Now independent sup

the same time, we have cor

On the whole, these boun-

A Popular Leader
It was a ciear-cut victory
for Mossadegh. His only pos

theoretically will have a veto

chooses to exercise that power.
It was expected that Mossa-
degh would maintain his firm
position for some time. He is
a popular leader. He has his
ear close to the ground swells
of public opinion, and it is not
likely that he would take any
moves that would undermine

ways, they will have to answer
to that protector of oppressed
minoritieS, the Union Of So

It seems, according to Mos

typical q. S. imperialism on a
tiny scale is rearing its repul-
Sive head OF the shore Of Nova
Scotia, with heart-rending eff
fects on the hapless citizenry
Of q minuScule island.
The island used to be known
as Bald Tusket, or Outer Bald.
Then along came Russell Arun-
del, lawyer and sportsman Of
Washington and Warrenton,
In 1949, and bought the 30
acre isle. In a whimsical mood,
he rechristened it the "Prin-
cipality of Outer Baldonia. "
and set himself up as founder
of the ruling dynasty.
Undesirable Trend
Obviously, from the Soviet
point of view, this was an ur-
desirable reversal Of the trend
away from royalty. But the
Russians remained needless of
the threat to the peace loving
Soviets for more than three
yearS-possibly because they
didn't learn about Outer Bal
donia until last fall.
Then the Literary Gazette
burst forth with a scathing in
dictment of Prince Russell I
and his savage, oppressive
government. Overlooking en-
tirely the fact that the island
has been uninhabited for a
century or so, the magazine
charged the prince with at
tempting to turn "the peace
full fishermen into cannibals."
Princely Denial
Nothing. the Outer Baldo-
nian chief of state said last
week, could be farther from
the truth. He acknowledged
that he encourages guests on
his island (who become vassal
princes during their stay to
shuck off all inhibitions. How

hand, he has guaranteed the
right of his subjects to:

lieved.
2. Praise and initiate them
selves with pride.
8. Swear, drink and gamble.
4. Sleep all day and stay up,

Apparently the Outer Bal

go in for Investigations. Free

guarantee. as are freedom

All this looks pretty sinister

All Judicial Officials Must Join Forces
To Wipe Out Abuse of lnsdnity Pleas
By John w. Thompson. u.

Some time ago a Judge in
United States District Court
for the District of Columbia
became suspicious. He won-
dered about the increasing
number of common crooks and
criminals coming before him
whose attorneys said they were
mentally unfit for trial. He
sought out another Judge who
reported the same situation in
his court.
From this routine beginning,
so the story goes, came the
current drive to stop abuse Of
a legal procedure designed to
protect the truly insane.
The Pottern
A familiar pattern kept ap-
pearing. A defendant was in
dicted. The defense asked a
mental test. The District
alienist made the test and--in
two out of three cases in 1852
ruled the accused unfit to
stand trial. Defendant was
hospitalized. later released as
cured. BY this time the prose-
cutor was unwilling to waste
time on jury trial that could
be snagged on another insanity
plea. Sometimes the case was
dropped. Others just haven't
come up for trial. If trial was
pressed, the defense sought,
and frequently obtained from
the alienist testimony that the
insanity could have existed at
: the time of the crime on which
the indictment was based.
The number of these pleas
that defendants were mental
ly incapable of standing trial
doubled in 1852, apparently as
the word got around. OF %
held incapable in the first half
of last year, only two ever
stood trial.
The first move to curb the
practice came from Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws. He is
sued an order that motions for
mental examinations now must
be in writing and under oath.
Prosecutors can tie another
loop in the knot by following
through with cases after the
defendant comes out of the
hospital cured"
Lawyers will tell you the
test of a defendants RESPONSE
bility for a crime is much
sitter than that of his ability
to stand trial. In the former,
proof must be shown of in
ability to distinguish between
right and wrong at the time
OF the crime. or to resist an
impulse or to be responsible
for what he did. To be unable
to stand trial, it is almost
enough to say the defendant
is so confused he doesn't un-
derstand the charges, can't
assist with the defense.
Judges Act
Showing his own determine
tion to curb the situation,
Judge Laws has demanded
more information in two
mental pleas before him. Judge
Holtzoff refused to hold Will
liam Roland White incapable
of standing trial White is
the juvenile charged with the
August. 1852. murder of a
Marine Corps clerk.
In this instance both the
District alienist and his as
sistant found White incapable
of standing trial. The prose-
cution, however, produced a
witness from a cell near
Whites whose testimony indi-
Gated the defendant planned
to play at being insane.
The whole situation is an
abuse that all parties to the
