benefits now available to members
of the Printers Union such as
homes for the aged, sick and
death benefits and pensions were
the products of his mind and ex-
ist partly due to his persistence.

Criminals Here Find
Lunacy Plea Easier
Than in Baltimore

Evidence that it's easier to
escape punishment by way Of
the mental illness route here
than in neighboring Baltimore
was underlined yesterday by a
Baltimore Supreme Court ruling.
The case was viewed as sig
nificant here because of the re-
cent decisions of the United
States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia making it
even easier to get off on a lunacy
plea.
The Baltimore case involved
Lewis James Wilkins, colored, 81,
who escaped punishment here
but was sentenced to Is years in
prison in Baltimore.
Wilkins was arrested in Wash
ington in connection with a
holdup there the day before the
$1.120 armed robbery of Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
two and half years ago.
Wilkins won acquittal in WASH
ington after pleading he was in
sane. He was convicted in Bal
timore.
He moved for a new trial in
the Baltimore case on the ground
that if he we're found insane in
Washington, he should also have
been found insane in Baltimore
and acquitted.
The psychiatrists who exam
ined him in Baltimore found he
was sane at the time of the crime.
The Baltimore Supreme Court,
denying the motion for a new
trial, said the legal test for in
sanity is different in the District
of Columbia.

Any Revenge Motive
In Accusing Carper

Quick u. n. Priority
Expected on Problem
Of Arms Reduction
By the Associated Press

OI ttG NSS0StdtSo EEGSS
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct
8.-The United Nations Assem-
bly's top political committee
moves into action today with
indications 1T will give quick
priority to the thorny disarma-
ment question.
The 60-nation groups initial
meeting was expected to, deal
mainly with deciding what is
sues would head up its heavy
agenda.
Indications pointed to this
top lineup: Cd Disarmament,
(2) collective security and (3)
the EiSenhoWer-Dulles atoms for
peace plan.
With Russia's new disarma-
ment plan now inscribed on the
agenda, it was predicted the arms
debate would last at least two
weeks.
Vishinsky Views Awaited.
Soviet Delegate Andrei VII
shinsky has asked that his pro-
posal be discussed separately.
The Western powers want to take
it up along with the Disarma-
ment Commission report. Sources
close to the United States said
they do not expect any pro-
longed squabble over this tech
nicality.
Western diplomats are hope
full that, when the debate gets
under way, Mr.. Vishinsky will
spell out more clearly his call
for step-by-step reduction of the
worlds arms and eventual out
lawlng OF nucIear weapons.
AS yet the Russians have not
clarified how far they are will
ing to go toward actual agree
ment with the West. although
Mr.. Vishinsky's plan appears
based partly on the British
French recommendation for a
ban on the use of nuclear weap-
onS except against aggression.
Russians Give No Hints.
Nor have the Russians given
any hint as to what reduction
they and the Chinese Commu-
niSts are willing to make in
their own huge armies.
After the disarmament issue is
cleared up. the committee is
expected to discuss the report of
the Collective Measures Commit
tee calling on U. N. members to
contribute to any group action
against aggression.
Some circles believe Russia
may take this occasion to re-
hash her proposal for a collec-
tive security pact for Europe.
The Russians have refused to
serve on the collective measures
group the Assembly formed in
1850 as part of former Secretary
of State Acheson's uniting for
peace" plan.
Western delegates also awaited
fuller Russian reaction in the
committee to the American plan
for an atomic pool dedicated to
peaceful purposes.
