Last autumn it was quite
fashionable in certain circles
to talk up ''the coming eco

the truth was that the boom
In capital investment showed
no important signs Of soating..
It was still roaring ahead six
months ago; it is still going
on now.
In 1853 business spending
for new plants and tools hit
an all-time peak of $28 billion;

among many military men is
that unless we quickly take

ably for war or peaceso what
has happened is that the
whole economy has received d
shot in the arm. from the five
year tax Write-offs policy.
Capital investment is clearly
the dynamic factor in any
economy. It is worth double
and triple any Government

policy Of political handouts to
consumers, for the simple rea-
son that itacts as q multipiier

everybody connected with the
process win be spending wages
for clothes. food, housing and
amusements. Moreover, pri-
vate investment In capital
goods means that people aren't
taxed to spread the work.
Disposable" income under pri-
vate investment remains at a
higher peak than in countries
where government assumes the
function Of stimulating the
economy.
What is amusing about the
whole phenomenon Of capital
investment during the past six
months is that it could easily
have been predicted by an
economist who took the trou-
bic to get out Of Washington.
The signs were all over the
place - in Dearborn, Mich,
where the Ford Motor CO. was
building a new "automated'
engine plant; in New England,
where electronics firms were
moving into plants made va
cant by emigrating textile
companies: In the Ohio VAL
ley. where electric power plants
were going up to take care Of
new atomic energy projects:
In Dallas, Tex. where q 200

tracks was humming with
projects. All Of this was
missed by the very economists
who are most sfirrnly welded
to the theory that capital ex-
pansion is the main generator
Of prosperity. But we can af-
ford to be indulgent about the
false prophesies, and write
them OF as The Blight That

Appeal Court Blocks
Rover Move 10 Upset
Insanity Case Ruling
BY Howord [. Dutkin

The United States Court of
Appeals for the District Of CO.
lunbia yesterday refused to re-
hear the Monte Durham case.
The case had resulted In an
opinion by the Appellate Court
last July. broadening the means
through which q defendant
might be found not guilty by
reason Of insanity. Durham'S
housebreaking conviction was set
aside and q new trial ordered.
That opinion had been rem
dered by q three Judge court.
United States Attorney Leo Al.
Rover subsequently asked that
the case be reheard by the full
court. now consisting Of eight
judges because of q vacancy left
BY the death Of Judge Bennett
Champ Clark.
Vital to Public.
Mr.. Rover based his plea on
the assertion. that the matter
vitality affected the public well
fare.
But yesterday the request was
turned down. The order reject
ing the prosecutors petition gave
no reasons for the rejection. It
merely stated the petition is
denied"
The order listed seven judges
as participating. but there was
no indication as to whether all
collcurred In the rejection or
whether the vote was split. The
order noted that Judge Wilbur
K. Miller did not participate in
the order. But he was among
the judges who heard the argu-.
ments, which were conducted in
chambers.
Until the Durham opinion,
there were only two ways in
which q defendant could win ac-
iQuittal on an insanity plea: He
must have convinced the Jury
that he was unable to distinguish
right from wrong at the time of
the crime. or that he was acting
under an irresistible impulse.
Tests Held Inadequate.
But, in the Durham opinion,
the court held that these tests
were inadequate. 1T ruled that
judges and juries should take
into consideration any mental
abnormality present at the time
Of the crime and bring in verdict
of not guilty by reason OF in
sanity, II they believe the alb
normality caused the crime.
Pending before the appellate
court are three other petitions
for rehearing in opinions relating
to sanity determination.
Two of the opinions hold that
there must be a judicial deter
mination" of a defendants
mental competency to stand
trial, If he had once been held
to be mentally unable to aid his
defense. Previously trial was
ordered merely on certification Of
hospital authorities that mental
competency had been regained.
The third petition attacks O.
court ruling that q mental test
must be ordered by the court
whenever a prosecutor or defense
attorney requests it for q de-
fendant, provided the request is
made lin good faith"

To Be Eligible For ACP
Aid Observe All
Acreage AllOtments

Farmers who wish to receive
assistance from the Agricultural
Conservation Program for carry
ing out conservation measures on
their land in 1855 must comply
with all acreage allOtments which
have been assigned to their farms.
The recent changes in regula-
tl0ns by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture, which did away with
total acreage allOtments," did not
AFFECT basic requirements for ACP
assistance. This reminder comes
from Paul w. Mitchell, chairman
Of the Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee in
Delaware.
To be eligible Tor participation
IN this program, a farmer must not
exceed any individual crop acre
age allotment. This requirement
applies even to allotments of less
than Is acres of wheat.
Mr.. Mitchell draws particular
attention to the wheat allotment
because of the difference in price
support regulations and ACP re-
quirements on this point. A farm
er may harvest up to Is acres of
wheat, regardless of his allotment.
and still be eligible for price sup
port loans on crops other than
wheat, if he has complied with all
other allOtments. But he will not
be eligible for ACP assistance if
he harVests more than his actual
allotment in any crop, including
wheat.
There is no specific requirement
on the use Of diverted acres as a
basis for eligibility under the ACP
program. ACP officials report
however, that there will be wide
opportunity for much-needed con-
serVation work on these diverted
acres. In furtherance of this work
j ACP will dedicate a large part OF
its 1856 funds.
