ups and can be recommitted at
the first sign of trouble.
DR.. Overholser, visualizine
more pleas of insanity and more
commitments, wants to marrow
the door" to release.
Mr.. Rover, faced with an open
invitation to offenders to plead
not guilty by reason Of insanity
believes the best way to cope
with the problem is a court
psychiatric clinic-similar to the
Baltimore setup.
He believes this clinic would
answer his main problem of hav-
ing too few psychiatrists to call
on and too little money to get
more.
The main advantage of court
clinic, Mr.. Rover believes, would
be in eliminating the battles OF
the experts" The accused would
be examined by an impartial
panel acceptable to both the de-
fense and the prosecution. The
two or more psychiatrists on the
panel would have the advantage
of the same information.
The jury would not be con-
fronted by two reputable psy-
chiatrists giving opposing find
ings. Long, complicated hypo-
thetical questions asked psychia-
trists would be banished from
the court. The notorious stall
ing tactics of repeated requests
for mental examinations by diff
ferent psychiatrists would be
eliminated.
Would Be Less Costly.
And in Mr.. Rover's view, a
clinic would be less costly than
the present fee system-particu-
larly in view of the expected in
crease in the number of de-
mands for mental examinations.
Mr.. Rover would also like to
see Congress amend the law af-
fecting mental competence to
stand trial. He would like Con-
gress to spell out what evidence
of mental illness is needed before
an accused can be granted a
mental examination. He would
also like to eliminate the re-
quirement for a second mental
hearing after an accused has
been returned from a mental
hospital as fit for trial. These
proposed amendments would
counter the new procedures set
up by the Court of Appeals. The
law at this time doesn't say IN
so many words that a second
hearing is required or tina: the
judge must grant every request
for a mental examination made
in good faith-but the Court of
Appeals said such provisions
were implied by the law.
Mr.. Rover said his Office is
maintaining a close watch over
all cases in which the mental
illness question comes up. This
would be source material for the
Council on Law Enforcement
along with the stacks of briefs
and decisions in the lunacy
cases.
The councils first fall meet
ing is scheduled for October 25.

"Any honest man would spit in

chief of state during President
Tito's absence in India, de-
nounced former Vice President
Milovan Djilas and Vladimir
Dedijer. who In the past has
been Marshal Tito's close friend
and biographer. Mr.. Kardelj at
tackled them in a speech to the
Second Congress of the Commu-

provinces.
Dedijer Before Control Board.
Mr.. Djilas was ousted from his
post II months ago after attack
ing in print the wives Of some
fellow officials for snubbipg the
actress bride of a general. Mr..
Dedijer was called on the carpet
before the Yugoslav Communist
Party's Central Control Com
mission December II on charges
Of party disloyalty. The charges
against Mr.. Dedijer stemmed
from his defense of Mr.. Djilas
last January.
Mr.. Dedijer is still a member
Of Parliament. His fate has not
been decided, but he appeared
headed for the doghouse despite
his close connections with Mar
shal Tito and his record as q
World War II partisan fighter.
Mr.. Kardelj, one Of the four top

used strong words in criticizing
him.

Some high officials were known
to feel that even If Premier
Pierre Mendes France finally
persuades French legislators to
approve German rearmament,
his government faces an unpre-
dictable future which may cause

pressed serious concern over the
French Assembly's earlier defeat
of the German rearmament pro-
posals. was reported keeping in
close touch with Mr.. Dulles on
the situation.

usual Tuesday news conference,

Eisenhower Graiified
By First Paris Votes,
But Waits Outcome
By Gornett D. Horner
Star Stuff Correspondents

AUGUSTA, Ca, Dec. "a.
President Eisenhower, gratified
at the turn events are taking IN
France, today anxiously awaited
completion Of the French Ma
tional Assembly's critical series
Of votes on the West German
rearmament issue.
There was no disposition at
the Little White House here to
take the Assembly actions of
yesterday and last night, which
on the whole appeared favorable
to the preservation Of allied
unity, as making it certain that
everything Is going to be all
right.
In effect. the President and
his advisers were keeping their
fingers crossed until the final
Paris vote on the issue. with no
attempt to predict the outcome.
Keeps Plane Ready.
On that outcome hinged the
momentous question Of whether
France will remain a key mem
ber of the Western Defense
Alliance against Russia, or viii
be relegated to the background
while the United States and
Great Britain press ahead with
out French approval to make
West Germany their main ally
on the European continent.
Gen. Eisenhower kept his per-
sonal plane, the Columbine,
standing by in case an adverse
final vote should make it nee
eSsary for him to hurry back to
washington for emergency con-
situations.
But indications were that the
President would remain at his
holiday retreat on the Augusta
National Golf Club grounds
until Monday. as he planned
when ne new mere 1nurSQay.
In Touch With Dulles.
Gen. Eisenhower kept in close
touch with the French situation
through long distance telephone
conferences with Secretary OF
State Dulles in Washington.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty told reporters
the President had another talk
with Mr.. Dulles this morning.
but refused to disclose any de-
tails of the conversation.
There is a vote coming up to-
morrow that we are waiting for. "

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 28.-An
Air Force doctor who risks his
life discovering what is safe for
this Nations airmen has again
set a world speed record for
travel on land-this time 632
miles per hour.
1t. Col. John Paul Stapp, A,
an aero medical scientist. set
the mark during an air survival
test in a rocket-propelled open
sled roaring along rails of a
3,500-foot track. There was no
windshield to protect him from
the terrific rush of wind.
"My eyeballS became uncaged,
but there was no impairment Of
thinking" Col Stapp said in a
telephone interview.
Although he made his rapid
Journey at Holloman Air Devel-
opment Center. N. Mex, on De-
cember 10, the Air Force didn't
disclose details until yesterday.
The speed record came only as
secondary part of the test. Col.
Stapp's ride was taken to simu-
late pressure that airmen would
encounter bailing out of super
sonic plane flying 1000 m.p.h. at
an altitude Of $4,000 feet.
Sees More Tests Needed.
Asked If he Is convinced a
pilot can safely bail out at SUPER
sonic Speeds, the bespectacled, !,
calm-voiced scientist said he
wants to make another test be-
fore giving an answer. Although
saying "We rest the case of de-
celeration." the colonel indicated
further tests are needed on wind
blast effects.
Results of these tests will de-
termine what type of election
apparatus can best be used on
the high speed airplanes.
The December 10 run was near
ly 200 m.p.h. faster than the
record Of 421 Col. Stapp set last
March 10. And it was about nine
tenths of the speed of sound,
which was TIA m.p.h. under alti-
tude and temperature conditions
at Holloman that day.
On the March run, pictures
showed Col. Stapp's face dis
torted into grotesque shapes.

ported no other Ill effects ex-
cept for some small blood blis-
ters from dust particles in the
air.
Reports Intense Pain.
During the S seconds of ac-
celeration, Col. Stapp was SUBJ
jected to about nine G's, or nine
times the pressure of gravity. It
blacked out his eyesight for
about two seconds. From top
speed to a complete stop took / a
seconds. subjecting the rider to
an average pressure ~ times
the force of gravity for more
than a second.
II saw bright yellow and then
vivid red" Col. Stapp said. "The
pain was intense. So intense that
I recall very little Of the G pres
sure in stopping"
Water brakes stopped the sled
80 feet from the end of the rails.
With no windshield to protect
him. Col. Stapp had a plastic he'll
met and clear plastic visor to
cover his face. The helmet was
fixed to the backrest of the seat
so wind and presSures could not
twist and break his neck. Straps
held himssecurely in the seat.
Looks Forward to Next Test.
A bachelor who, Incidentally.
lives on Lovers Lane in Alamo
gordo, N. Mex, Col. Stapp has
an M. D. degree from the Uni
versity of Minnesota and q ph.D.
from the University of Texas.
He now looks forward to the
next test and probably a faster
ride. The effect of wind pressures
will be gagged when Col. Stapp
rides behind a windscreen that
will be opened at top speed to let
the wind blast slam him at about
"a pounds per square inch.
Again it will be a volunteer
ride for "the fastest man on
earth"
Although Col. Stapp was
scheduled to hold a press con-
ference here yesterday. it was
postponed until today. The rea-
son-he had car trouble 20 miles
from Los Angeles and couldn't
get here in time.
