U.S.. Atomic Course
Held VituI to Peace

The lead of United States in
developing atomic energy for
peacetime use may determine
whether many countries through
out the world will join the west
ern allies or folio wthe Commu-
nists, the chairman of the Joint
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy said yesterday.
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, said technolog-
ical advances which would help
the U. S.. provide aid to needy
areas, particularly in Asia. may
be the deciding factor in MANY
countries.
Food and material help mean
more to the downtrodden and
ill-fed Asian than does our free
dom without assistance" Sem
ator Anderson said.
He told a Rotary Club meeting
in Alexandria that 1--WE must use
the atom to wage the peace

much to the public's peace Of
mind and TO the public safety
without impairing the rights Of
the accused
The committee also urgently"
recommended a change in the
law to make it possible for a
psychiatrist to testify as to a
defendants mental condition
where insanity was the defense.
Under the Taylor decision, the
Court of Appeals ruled that no
psychiatrist who has treated the
accused may testify about him
because to do so would be to
violate the physician-patient
privilege.
The committee said the Taylor
case will make it most difficult
to unmask malingerers and will
seriously impede Government
psychiatrists in making sound
diagnoses in difficult cases."
cit is difficult to see how the
law, as it presently exists, ade-
quately protects either the public
or the accused" the committee
said.

By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

The District Council of Law
Enforcement has under study
today its special subcommittee
report spelling out how criminal
insanity laws as now inter-
preted by the courts-favor the
accused.
Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger. who also is chairman of the
law enforcement council, said
that as soon as council members
finish studying the long report,
a special meeting of the coun-
Gil will be called to act on 1t.
The report. urging Immediate
steps" by the Commissioners to
get Congressional action on sug-
gested new laws. was presented
to the council late yesterday by
the committee chairman. George
L. Hart. jr.
Mr.. Spencer said he was in
debted to the committee and its
chairman 'for giving us very
valuable contribution to our
thinking on this very difficult
subject"
Analysed All Decisions
The committee analysed all
the decisions affecting insanity
questions in criminal cases
handed down by the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia in recent years to de-
termine whether the law as the
court has interpreted it provides
q proper balance between the
accused and the public.
After a six-month investiga-
ton, the committee decided that
"a serious and dangerous i'm
balance results In favor of the
accused and against the public. "
To cope with this imbalance,
the committee recommended a
series of changes in the law. as
well as increased facilities for
treating all persons now in need
of examination, observation or
treatment under the Districts
criminal procedures.
Many accused persons, who
should be in a mental hospital
are presently being held in the
District Jail for examination due
to lack Of adequate suitable hos
pital facilities" the committee
observed. This condition should
not be allowed to continue"
Differs on One Issue
While the committee stressed
that it accepts without question
the decisions of the appellate
court as correctly stating the law
as it exists in the District today,
1t does take issue with one con-
clusion of the appellate court.
The appellate court. in the
Wear case. commented that there
was little incentive for a men,
tally competent person in a nom
capital case to seek a finding that

stand trial.
In the Wear case. the appel
late court held that the lower
court must grant a request for a
mental examination unless the
grounds for the request were
frivolous or the request was not
made in good faith.
Notwithstanding the courts
statement" the report stated.
"it is the opinion of the commit
tee that the Wear test may be
used by some accused as a device
to try to avoid punishment.
This comes about in the fol-
lowing manner: Where an &C
cused who pleads insanity as a
defense has a prior history OF
confinement in mental hos
pital, the accused has a better
chance of convincing a jury that
he was insane at the time the
crime was committed than If
he had never been confined in a
mental hospital. While such
confinement in no wise assures
that the jury will find the ac-
cused not guilty by reason OF
insanity it certainly improves
! the accused's chances in this
regard.
"Under the Wear test it is a
fairly simple matter for an ac-
cused to engineer his being sent
to a mental hospital. at least
for brief period, and thus es-
tablish for himself a history of
confinement to mental hos
! pital."
Find Court Helpless
The committee found that the
trial court is helpless to stop
abuse" under the Wear decision.
A survey of court practices in
other Jurisdictions led the com.
mittee to conclude that because
of the Wear decision a defend
ant can get mental examina-
ton more easily here than in
any other Jurisdiction in the
country.
The report was equally en-
phatic in recommending that
persons found not guilty by rea-
son of insanity must be con-
fined to a mental hospital until
both the hospital superintendent
and the court agree they have
recovered their sanity and are
no longer dangerous to them
selves or others.
The committee said the pub
lie is entitled to know that, in
every case in which a person
has committed a crime because
of a mental disease or defect,
, the person would get a period
of disqualification to guard
against imminent recurrence of
some criminal act.
The committee expressed the
belief that such a mandatory
commitment statute would add

SEEMS surprising is that an official, in SO short
a time, could sail against the wind with such vigor and de-
termination, brushing aside much Of what makes for smooth
sailing, even the little things It has always been our conten-
ton that the Governor could have done just as well or better
and yet maintained good, sound relations with the people
of these Islands.
THOSE WHO NEW the Governor before he became
Governor expressed concern for his health, knowing that at
times his shutting between Des MONIES and Washington
was proving strenuous. In that Job he was his own boss. But
here, not only did he have a delicate job to perform, but one
which called for stamina and fortitude of the kind not known
before.
AT SOME OTHER time the accomplishments Of the
Alexander administration may be appraised For now suffice
it to say that much has been Disappointing especially to
those who started out in the Governors corner, and who,
even in minor degree worked for cooperation and under
standing.

ONE-YEAR GOVERNOR
THE ONLY SURPRISING aspect

H ONLY SURPRISING aspect of Governor Alex
anders resignation is the %promptness with which it came.
Many well informed sources locally, even before Drew Pear
sons column made the forecast knew that under all the cir
cumstances the Governor had worked himself into a most
delicate position. His continuance in office therefore, would
have to be either that the Department Of Interior was rel
tanning him SO as to avoid so hurried an exit Of their own APP
pontee, or that the Governor himself was bringing pressure
to bear to forestall his departure.
NOW THAT H Governor has resigned, the whole
thing seems more Of a dream than anything else. As a per
son the Governor had the best possible opportunity to win
friends and perform an excellent job. But that did not last
long.
