Jury Reconviicts
In Insanity Plea

A man was reconvicted yester'
day of taking part in an April
1852. holdup-robbery despite {
defense claim that he was insane
at the time of the crime.
He is Stephen S. Kelley. "a
colored. formerly of the 100 bloch
of Adams street NV. A jury ir
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia deliberateo
about five hours before finding
Kelley guilty of taking part in g
$1,014 cash robbery at the Chesa.
peake & Potomac Telephone Co
office, 700 block of Thirteenth
street NV. Judge Edward A
Tamm. who presided at the re-
trial, referred the case to the
probation officer for investiga-
ton pending sentence.
Conviction Set Aside
Kelley had been convicted OF
the robbery charge in October,
1858. The conviction. however,
was set aside last year by the
U. s. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia because the
previous trial judge had refused
to order an additional mental
examination for Kelley before
trial. The appellate court at the
time cited a ruling in another
case requiring Q Judge to order
a mental examination when a
request is made in good faith by
a defendants attorney.
Kelley had been found of un-
sound mind in July, 1852. Early
in 1858. he had been certified by
hospital authorities as compe-
tent to stand trial.
Psychiatrists Testify
At the retrial just ended, two
psychiatrists, who had examined
Kelley about two and half
months after the robbery. tes-
titled for the defense that they
believed he was of unsound mind
at the time of the crime. The
Government did not call upon
a psychiatrist who testified at
the first trial, because of an ap-
pellate court ruling in still an
other case which held that a
psychiatrist who has treated a
person cannot testify at that
persons trial without the de-
fenoant's consent.
However, police testified Kelley
appeared sane when questioned
by them shortly after the rob-
berry. An automobile salesman,
who testified Kelley made a large
down pymnt on an automobile
five days after the robbery, also
said Kelley acted sane at the
time of the payment.

House Starts
votino Today
On Foreign Aid
BY JAMES z. ROPER

The House starts voting today
on q $3.3 billion foreign aid au-
|thorization bill which is the OBJ
'ject Of scattered opposition.
Democrats and Republicans
alike picked on various clauses
in the bill during opening debate
late yesterday but showed little
sign of mastering : enough
strength to alter the measure
Fdrastically.
The measure, after the compile
|tion of general debate. was
scheduled to undergo q series
|of test votes on the amounts and
disposition of funds that would
be authorized.
50 Billion Unspent
Representative Lawrence H
Smith, Republican. of Wisconsin
protested that more than 50 bill.
lion from previously appropriated
funds will remain unspent wher
the fiscal year ends tomorrow
In all history, he said, no foreign
aid program has ever been able
to spend more than Sc billion ant
even that would take "a lot o.
energy and good management"
He said that by continuing te
appropriate funds Congress was
losing control of the. program
Chairman Richards Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, how.
lever, argued that the unex-
pended funds were mostly com.
mitted and that new appropria-
itions would be needed to keep
the pipeline filed.
Mr.. Richards contended that
a switch in Soviet tactics, which
he regarded as temporary. in
dicated that the long-term
American aid program was pay
ing of 'and that II should be
continued.
Representative Gross, Repub-
lican of Iowa, recognized a move
by some Representatives to bal
Yugoslavia and India from res
lceiving any aid under the pro-
gram. Mr.. Gross moaned: But
1 guess it is necessary to give
l$36 million to the Yugoslavs II
they are going to keep on going
ito Moscow and keep on enter
tanning Russians in Belgrade.
| No Argentine Aid
Representative O'Neill, Demo.
crat, CT. Massachusetts,, got as.
Isurance from members of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit.
tee that there was no way fol
Argentina to get any aid unde,
the bill. Mr.. ONeill said that II
the Peron regime of Argentine
were likely to get any aid he
would introduce an amendment
to bar them.
Representative Dorm, Republi,
can, Of New York, wanted France
and Italy to increase their owr
tax collections before taking ia,
funds from the United States
Representative Gavin, 'Republi.
can, of Pennsylvania, said needy
Americans - sue h as destitute
coal miners in his home State
were entitled to economic aic
ahead of foreigners.
/ The debate, however, was no,
really inspired and it took three
quorum calls within two hours te
keep a semblance of afull house
When someone requested q
fourth quorum call, the House
postponed continuation of, debate
until today.
