BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

President Eisenhower has
signed the bill making it more
difficult for offenders to escape
punishment by feigning insanity
The measure, which cleared
Congress in the final days before
adjournment and was signed
yesterday. is aimed at giving
the public more protection in
criminal cases where insanity is
the defense.
The bill was pushed by The
Star after prosecutors reported
their hands were tied by a series
Iof court decisions and PSYCHE
ARTISTS protested that one court
decision had enabled them to
testify more freely while a later
court decision virtually shut the
door on their testimony
Under the measure, defendants
who are acquitted on grounds Of
insanity will be automatically
committed to a mental hospital
until they are considered safe
to be at large again. DR.. Win
fred Overholser, superintendent
of st. Elizabeths Hospital, has
predicted that this provision will
discourage phony insanity claims
by offenders who have previously
gambled on freedom after &C
quittal.
The bill makes these changes
in District laws:
/. Defendants will have tc
show some evidence of mental
unfitness to stand trial before
the court orders a mental exami-
nation. Previously, any defend
ant could have a mental exami-
nation as long as the request fol-
it was not frivolous and was
made in good faith.

mental examinations, where they

New Report to Be Made
On Ro||ingwood Issue

Montgomery County School;
Superintendent Forbes H. Nor.
ris will report to the school,
board again Monday night or
the bitterly disputed plans tt
transfer 80 colored pupils from
the Lyttonsville area 2 miles tc
the Rollingwood School.
The school board maintained
a hands-off attitude on the Rol.
lingwood situation yesterday
contending it was an admins
trative matter to be handled BY
the superintendent.
DR.. Norris said late yesterday
there still was some chance the
new SiX-room addition under con.
struction at Rollingwood would
not be completed in time for thu
Iopening of schools September IL
He said construction reports in.
dictate it is about 80 per CEN
completed.
More Classroom Space
The plan to transfer the col.
ored pupils to Rollingwood wa!
based on availability of class.
room space at the school.
Some Rollingwood residents
meanwhile, were considering
what legal action they could
take to block the transfer of the
colored students over two school
districts into Rollingwood.
One possibility under consid-
Grafton is an appeal of DR.. Nor
ris' decision to the State Board
of Education.
The board discussed the sit.
uation for nearly an hour but
failed to come up with a reso.
luton after Board President
Willard G. McGraW had declared
the matter one for the superin-
tendent to handle and on which
the board has got to go forward
with flrmness."
The board left the matter in
the hands of the superintendent
shortly after he had declared:
Il think the decision has been
made and we should stick to it.
Board member Helen G. Schart
had suggested that before I'VE
move to assign or re-assign'
students the board "assesS the
temper or feelings" of the COM
munities involved.

Judge Pays His Tax Bill,
Then Hears Other Cases

Judgments were entered yes
terday against 16 Fairfax County
delinquent taxpayers by Sub
stitute Trial Justice Ernest N.
Hudgins, who had paid some back
State income taxes of his own
just before he was scheduled to
appear in court for failure to pay.
Mr.. Hudgins paid $345.33 in
back taxes plus interest for a
five-year period from 1948 to
1858. Ten minutes before court
opened yesterday. he presented a
check for his delinquent taxes
to r. A. Carlisle. the States COL
lector of delinquent taxes.
The motion for judgment
against Mr.. Hudgins was dis
missed along with 80 others in
which the delinquents paid their
back taxes before they were to
appear in court.
Mr.. Hudgins sat in on the 16
other cases along with Trial
Justice John A. Rothrock.
Judge Rothrock called the cases
and Mr.. Hudgins entered the
judgments for amounts ranging
from $21 to $186. Two judges
are used to speed up the pro-
cedure, officials said. None of
the 16 cases was contested.
Judge Rothrock said he would
sign the orders dismisSing Mr..
Hudgins' case and those of the
other 80 who paid up.
After the cases were disposed
of Mr.. Hudgins said he believed
publicity about his case was
politically inspired" by persons
who opposed him in his unsuc-
cessful race last month for the
Democratic nomination for
commemorative attorney for
Fairfax.
No newspaper stories appeared
about Mr.. Hudgins' back taxes,
until the election was
over.
He also said he believed the
publicity might have been re-
sponsible for his not being con-
sidered for the post Of associate
trial justice. which was filled
last week. Circuit Court Judge

PuIIen Clouds
Plan for School
Purchasing
Declares Board
Cunnot Delegate
Power to County

Maryland Schools Supt.
Thomas G. Pullen has clouded
the Montgomery County School
Boards consideration of a plan
to delegate it's purchasing
authority to the county govern
ment.
DR.. Pullen, in a letter to the
county School Board, said
Deputy Attorney General Nor
man Ramsey had ruled against
such delegation of authority.
The School Board is an
autonomous body" required to
administer the public school
system. DR.. Pullen quoted the
deputy attorney general as
saying.
Remain Independent
The board Cannot delegate
any of its sovereign power" to
county governments and must
remain independent of all other
departments of the county
government, DR.. Pullen said.
The advise from DR.. Pullen
was sought as the board con-
sidered a proposal from County
Manager M. L. Reese to have
all school board purchasing done
through the centeralized pur-
chasing office of the county
under his authority.
The School Board, for years,
unofficially has been using the
county purchasing facilities for
many of its acquisitions.
The board yesterday also
learned that its administrative
staff had rejected a bid on Ii
brary furniture because it was
not accompanied by a requested
bid bond. Such bonds now are
required by the county.
| Wayne Birdsell, board member,
said he feared such require
ment would result in higher bids
by vendors.
/ The board still has not acted
on proposal that would put it
further under the county pur-
chasing setup. An opinion as to
some phases Of the agreement is
being sought from County At
torney Charles M. Irelan.
The board yesterday took three
other actions expected to draw
criticism from Mr.. Reese and the
County Council, which controls
the boards purse strings.
New Job Setup
The board created a new
S8.500-a-year job for an adj
ministrative assistant to Supt.
Forbes H. Norris.
The. Council had refused to
appropriate funds for the new
position, but the board decided
to get the money through a raid
on capital funds.
! Duties Of the new position in
clude planning and site acqui-
sltion negotiations.
| The board also voted, S to 2.
to create a lay professional COM
mlttee of Is persons to study
schedules and other fringe bene-
fits for teachers and other per-
sonnet.
Board Member Wylie w. Bar
row opposed the action on
grounds he did not want new
salary schedules submitted to the
board under pressure.
Mrs. Helen G. Scharf, who
sponsored the motion recon-
mended by Dr.. Norris, said there
is a need for recommendations
of a committee that would not
have a vested interest" in the
new salary proposals.
County teachers received a
new salary schedule and raises
averaging nearly 4 per cent on
June 30.
DR.. Norris and his staff drew
a sharp rebuke from Mr.. Bar
row as the result of a report
that the school board had over
spent last years budget by $780,
008.
Mr.. Barrow said there had
been mo sincere, earnest effort
to cut back spending" last spring
after the staff first reported that
it expected to go in the red
$139,740.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-08-10

a study be made of the area to
utilize all classrooms in the Rock
Creek Forest, Rollingwood and
other nearby schools t. avoid
double sessions.
/ DR.. Norris and other school
authorities have reported that
the Rock Creek Forest school
will have several classes on dou-
BILE session this fall while the
Rollingwood school, two school
districts away, still has vacan-
cies for some 100 students.
/ Mr.. Norris yesterday said he
had been informed that the
school administration has legal
authority to assign the Lyttons-
vile children wherever it pleases.
Lawsuit Mentioned
I Board Member Harrison C.
King suggested that the Linden
school in Lyttonsville be kept
open this fall to help alleviate
the double-session problem in
adjoining schools.
Such an action would result
in a lawsuit in "a hours Mrs.
Rose Kramer, another board
member, retorted.
( Board President McGraw op-
ened the Rollingwood discussion
with the statement that he felt
there was mo occasion for action
jof the board"
The board, in effect, directed
DR.. Norris to make certain that
all classroom seats were being
utilized in all schools in the
area and that the board would
await further recommendations
from DR.. Norris" on the matter.

Rollingwood was present, but

was not recommended for the
post by the Fairfax County Bar
Association.
Mr.. Hudgins. who has served
as Substitute Trial Justice since
1852, said he feels he has done
a good job on the bench" and
plans to continue sitting as sub
Istitute justice.
ITS no disgrace for me to be
sued" he said. Officials have a
right to their day in court just
like anyone else" He said, how
ever, that publicity in his case
made it impossible for me to
defend the suit, even though it
lis possible I had a good excuze
for not paying the taxes"
