Federal Buildings

The General Services Admin

Construction Of some new
Federal buildings. probably to

The firms president, William

week he was encouraged by pre-
hminary discussions he has had
with Federal officials.
There was uncertainty, how
ever, as to what form the effort
would take.
One possible avenue was the
new Lease-Purchase Act under
which new Federal buildings will
be built throughout the country
by private investors and paid for
by the Government on long-term
lease contracts. Another possi-
bility was a modified lease-pur-

had switched from Non-partisan

Mr.. Dugan said the accomp-

the board "are practically zero"
Mr.. Dugan said that the past

been confined mostly to matters
affecting the school board.
Mrs. Buchholz accused Mr..

ID. c. Sanity Test in
Smith Staying Case

The United States Court OF
Military Appeals yesterday re-
jected the position taken by the
United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia in
the recent Durham case, involv-
ing an insanity plea.
The military appeals court up
held the court-martial conviction
of Mrs. Dorothy K. Smith, who
was sentenced to life for the
fatal stabbing of her husband
in Tokyo in October, 1852.
The military court declared
that the military manuals spell
out definitions Of insanity. If
the Durham case was used as a
criterion. the court held, mem
bers Of a court martial would
have no guidance in determining
when a mental disease is the
generating factor.
Stabbed With Knife.
The court martial decision in
the Smith case was made a year
and a half ago, and the appeals
court upheld it yesterday. Col.
Aubrey Smith was stabbed with
a hunting knife by his wife, the
daughter of Gen. Walter Krue-
ger, U. S. A., retired. former Sixth
Army Commander.
Psychiatrists who examined
Mrs. Smith after her court mar
tial disagreed on whether she
was capable of premeditation.
but the board of review held
that she was. The appellate
court decided. in a split deci-
sion, that it was without author
ity to disturb the boards deter
mination.
The defense counsel for Mrs.
Smith argued that, under the
Durham decision, the woman
should have been exonerated by
reason of insanity. The appel
late court, however, noted that
the long-established military
test of mental responsibility is
phrased in terms of whether the
accused was. at the time of the
alleged offense, so far free from
mental defect, disease or dear
rangement as to be able, to
distinguish right from wrong
and to adhere to the right"
In the Durham case, the ci-
villain court pointed out that a

because the farmers comprise only

Farmer Needs Program

WE READ YOUR editorial on So
cial security for farm and ranch
people who are self-employed.
l don't see why they haven't in
cluded farm and ranch people in this
program before now. If there is any
group of people who really need this
or are entitled to it, it is the self
employed farmer or rancher. He
puts in more hours at harder work
than any other class of people in
the US, and still has to take for
his produce whatever the buyer
wants to give him.
We raised wheat when it hardly
paid expenses. Now that it has a
support price, my age and health
keeps us from raising it or any other
supported crop.
Now we are equipped for livestock
feeding but the last two years we
haven't been able to pay expenses,
besides working from dark to dark.
We don't know what the future holds
for us in health or business way
but if we had social security, it
would certainly ease our minds a
lot.-Arnold TrachseL Lake County.

outweigh the cost. I don't believe
any other insurance plan is nearly

The social security plan probably
won't be self-supporting in the flu
ture and, if we are to be taxed to
support it, we should in all fairness
be allowed some of the benefits of
it.

port the plan because the employer
pays half the cost then passes it on

Would Tax Be Lost?

am opposed to the plan.
Even though farmer may wish

agement at age IS, it is likely, be-
ieve, that he will own land, live
stock or equipment which he might
rent out or pass on to his sons in
such manner that he will receive
more than the 5000 maximum in
come allowed if he is to receive re-
tirement pay.
Consequently, the three per cent
tax which he has been paying over
all his laboring years is just lost to
the farmer.
For the less fortunate, I believe
our present old age pension plan is
more desirable in operation. Perhaps
the benefits should be regulated to
keep pace with cost of living.

Antiserum Available

A very effective antiserum is
available for use in treating the sick
animal. Since the disease progresses
rapidly resulting in the death of the
animal, it is plain to see that the
antiserum must be given early to be
effective. 1t is claimed that early
treatment with the antiserum will
save approximately 80 per cent of
the cattle.
A bacterin is used on the cattle
in the herd to stop the spread of
the disease. The bacterin protects
