delivered to the head Of the
agency personally and not ia
any subordinates.
The Star on Friday printed
the full text of the directive
which was signed by Budget Blu
reau Director Rowland Hughes
Earlier, White House officials at
President Eisenhower'S summer
vacation site in Denver, even
after acknowledging that The
Stars original story was correct,
refused to release the full text
of the directive.
The Star also has learned that
Civil Service Commission and
other agency officials objected to
the vagueness of the order set
ting up an inspection system to
investigate the conduct" OF
Government employees.
It was argued that the word
ing was too vague and might be
interpreted to mean an investi-
CATION into the personal lives
and habits Of Federal employees.
It further was contended that
this would lead to charges OF
"snooping and Gestapo-like" tac-
tics"
Wanted Directive RewOrded.
csc officials suggested that
the directive be reworded to have
the investigations apply ito the
official conduct of employees in
relation to their Government
jobs" This, they argued, would
make It plain that the admin
istration would use the inspec-
tioi system to detect and pre-
vent such scandals rs those
which occurred in past years in
Federal Housing, Internal Reve-
nue. and other agencies. and not
delye into the personal after
hour lives Of employees.
However, the White House also
overruled this proposal.
It then was suggested to Mr..
Adams and his staff that the
order be made public. A num-
ber Of officials argued that Gov
ernment employees as well as
the public were entitled to know
about the program. Further
more. 1t was stressed, it would
be a political feather in the ad-
ministration's cap to announce a
program aimed at preventing
scandals which had cropped up
in the previous Democratic ad-
ministration.
q. o. r. Feared Controversy.
However, 1t is reported that
White House officials replied
that publication Of the program
would result in controversy"
and would bring attacks from
Democrats in Congress. To no
avail. those urging that the di-
rective be made public argued
that such an important directive
could not be kept a secret in
definitely.
The insistence on secrecy was
so great that Budget Bureau
employees, where the directive
actually was drafted. were in
structed by their superiors not
to discuss the matter with any
one and to refuse to answer any
queries by the press should ex-
istence Of the directive be dis
closed.

EmpIoye Unit Plans
To Fight Postal Pay
Veto in Court Here
Brief Due in II Doys
Will Contend Congress
Hos Not Adjourned
sy the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Kenneth
T. Lyons, ntional commander OF
the Federal Employees Veterans
Association, said tonight the
group will challenge in court
President Eisenhower's pocket
veto" of a pay raise for post
Office workers.
Mr.. Lyons, speaking at the as
sociation's annual convention,
Postol Clerks Berote Stond on Pay Roiss
Page ALL,
said q brief will be filed in Fed
eral District Court in Washing
ton within IL days.
It will contend. Mr.. Lyons said
that Mr.. Eisenhower's failure
to sign the bill giving postal
employees a 5 per cent raise did
not kill the bill.
The association will maintain
that Congress has not formally
adjourned since the Senate is
only recessed and will meet No
vember 8 to take up the censure
move against Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin.
LANCER Hits Bill Itself.
The President pocket vetoes''
q bill by not signing it within 10
days after an adjournment OF
Congress.
The convention also heard the
bill denounced tonight by Sena-
tor LANCER, Republican. Of North
Dakota, as entirely inadequate
because it provided only "that
miserable, lousy S per cent pay
increase"
Senator LANCER said Federal
employees wives are driving taxi
cabs in Washington to supple
ment their husbands incomes.
He added he will fight for a Is
per cent general increase for
Federal workers.
Senator LANCER said that cal
though I'm a Republican, I want
you to know that I disagree
completely and entirely with the
veto by the President" on the
pay raise bill.
Capital Wealthy Scored.
Many people in Washington,
he added, have become "too
wealthy" to remember how hard
it is for the Federal worker to
make out on a small salary.
He also charged that President
Eisenhower had broken other
campaign promises, saying that
his prediction promises mean
nothing" and the President has
had his chance" to make good
on them.

Rover Urges
Council Studyol
Lunacy Rulings
Asks 4 Key Coses
Be Examined for
Effects on Crime
By Miriom Gutenberg

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover wants the District Coun-
Gil on Law Enforcement to make
a complete study of what a series
of lunacy decisions is likely to
do to crime and its punishment
here.
Here's what Mr.. Rover fears:
. A rash of defendants plead
ing they are too mentally ill to
stand trial-when all they're
looking for Is a way out of jail.
. A large increase in pleas Of
not guilty because of insanity.
o A terrific burden for already
overworked psychiatrists.
. Malingerers getting by be-
cause the psychiatrists haven't
time for complete investigations.
Q Defendants who actually are
mentally i'll getting convicted
in the shuttle.
Q Trials interrupted at embar-
RAISING {for the defendant) mo-
ments with demands for mental
examinations.
. Cases stalled indefinitely by
repeated requests for mental
examinations.
o Defendants freed to prey
again on society.
What Rover Wants.
Here's what Mr.. Rover wants:
o A study of all the effects OF
the decisions by the Council on
Law Enforcement.
Q A court psychiatric clinic to
cope with the expected great in
crease in demands for mental
examinations.
. A congressional review OF the
laws affected by the decisions.
The decisions Mr.. Rover wants
studied for effects were reached
by the United States Court of
Appeals for the District Of
Columbia this summer. Mr..
Rover asked for rehearings by
the full court In four key cases
but all have been denied.
"The only thing left now is
legislation" Mr.. Rover said.
THAT'S why I intend to ask the
law enforcement council to go
into it,"
Commissioner Samuel Spencer.
chairman of the congressionally
created council, said it was up to
the entire council to decide.
Personally, he added. II think
the council would do very well to
go into this. It's a very logical
thing for the law enforcement
council to do"
Mr.. Spencer pointed out that
the council already has made
one such study. Last winter. the
council analyzed juvenile crime
and enforcement here. The study
did much to clear the air.
4 Gases UP FOF Stuuy.
These are the four cases whose
effects the council will be asked
to study:
/. The Monte Durham case
This changes the defense Of in
sanity. In the past there were
two tests by which a jury could
decide whether the accused could
be held criminally responsible
for his act. One of these was
the 'right-wrong" test. The jury
would decide whether the de-
fendant labored under such a
defect of reason from disease
of the mind as not to know the
nature and quality of the act
he was doing or, If he did know
it, that he did not know he was
what was wrong"
The second test involved cir
resistible impulse" The jury
could find the defendant legally
insane If. at the time of the
crime he was suffering from such
a mental disease that he was
irresistibly impelled to commit
a crime-even though he knew
what he was doing was wrong.
The Durham case threw out
both the "right-wrong" and Sir,

though the program directive
was issued to all departments
and agencies last June IA, it re-
manned a secret until disclosed
by The Star last Thursday.
Informed sources said that the
insistence on keeping the pro-
gram secret was so great that
the White House did not trust
the directives to be mailed to the
agencies, but had them sent over
by messenger.
In all cases the directive was
