RetriaI Opens
0fCase Based
On Sanity Issue
Durhum Bdck in Court
After Reversal of
Earlier Conviction

The retrial Of Monte Durham
on housebreaking and larceny
charges opened today in the U.
S. District Court for the District
Of Columbia.
Durham previously had been
convicted and sentenced to serve
three to 10 years. But this con-
viction was set aside by the U. s.
Court Of Appeals for the District
in an unprecedented opinion and
a new trial ordered.
The Appellate Court ruled that
the test Of mental responsibility
for a crime should be whether
the act was the product of a
mental disease or mental. de-
feet. The sole previous tests had
been whether the defendant
could distinguish right from
wrong or suffered an irresistible
impulse to comit the crime.
The first witness today was
Donald Hiss, of 5000 @ street
NV. who testified his house had
been broken into in 1851 and
certain articles taken.
Other witnesses included po-
licemen who testified as to the
circumstances surrounding Dur
hams arrest at the @ street
house.
Defense Attorney Sidney
Sachs is expected to plead that
Durham was not mentally re-
sponsible at the time of the
housebreaking. Assistant United
States Attorney Arthur Nc
Laughlin is prosecuting. The
case is being heard by Judge
David A. Pine and a jury.

Discussed for
Virginia Area
Pending Survey
Regional Planners
Take No Action

Northern Virginia planners.
pleased with progress on two
of their big projects, are mulling
over the idea Of trying to set
up regional water system.
In a meeting in the Falls
Church City Council chamber
last night, the Northern Virginia
Regional Planning Commission
heard spokesmen for water sys-
TENS in Alexandria, Falls
Church, Arlington and Fairfax
County. No action was taken
on the reports pending release
of a Fairfax survey, expected
within a month.
Agreement by the same four
jurisdictions to appropriate q
total of $4,000 for a regional
juvenile detention home was re-
ported by Mrs. Charles Pickett,
of Fairfax. Mrs. Pickett told
the commission, 81 think We'll
have a detention home this
year."
Fiscal Survey to Start.
BY May l, a fiscal survey Of
Northern Virginia Jurisdictions
is to be started by Dr.. Wylie
Fitzpatrick, public finance expert
Of Gainesville, Fla. Arlington,
Alexandria, Falls Church and
Fairfax County have appropri-
ated $4,000 for the study.
The water problem now before
the commission stems from
shortages in some areas of Fair
fax County and widely varying
rates by private and municipal
suppliers.
Spokesman for the Alexandria
and Virginia water companies
was j. j. Barr, of Philadelphia,
a vice president of American
Water Works, parent company
of Alexandria Water Co. Alex
andria Virginia expects to be
able to meet the needs of its
customers next summer, Mr..
Barr said, and already is plan
ming new pumping facilities that
will provide about three times
the present maximum need of
about 16 million gallons a day.
Return Held Inadequate.
The company has failed to
realize q fair return"-5 per
cent of its investment-since
1946. he added. At present, there
Is no intention Of asking for a
rate increase, Mr.. Barr said, but
Il new customers fail to bring in
enough added revenue. a rate
adjustment would be necessary.
William JefferieS. head of the
water department,
said an expansion Of, the coun-
tvs system now underway
should provide "all the water our
customers can use" by June /. ]
John Geiger, principal planner
for the Fairfax County Planning
Commission, said the hodge
podge" of more than Is systems
in the county had led the Board
Of County Supervisors to order
a survey.
Falls Church Escapes.
James Head, public utilities
director for Falls Church, said
the city had been able to serve
customers in the city and nearby
Fairfax County without the
shortages experienced in other
Jurisdictions.
j. c. Smith, assistant engineer
for the Washington AQueduct of
the Corps Of Engineers, sup
pliers of Arlington and Falls
Church from Dalecarlia, said he
believes the Potomac River has
plenty Of water to supply the
areas needs.
In the next $50 to 800 years,
Mr.. Smith said, even if the
Metropolitan Area population
rises to 4 million, the river sup
ply would still be adequate. It
may be necessary to provide ad-
ditional storage above Great
Falls, Mr.. Smith added.
