Rover Will Seek
Taylor Case Reversal

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover today said he would seek
reversal of the United States
Court of Appeals ruling en- the
controversial Taylor case. in
volving the role of psychiatrists
in criminal cases.
In that case, the court in a
split 2 to l opinion held that
psychiatrists who treated a
patient may not divulge at trial
any information thus gained
even though it might be an ad-
mission of malingering On the
part of the patient.
This ruling has been inter-
preted by prosecutors and some
psychiatrists as gagging medical
men and weighing cases heavily
in favor of a criminal defendant
seeking acquittal on grounds Of
temporary insanity.
The doctor-patient privilege
against revelation may be waived
by defendant.
Mr.. Rover told reporters today
he plans to ask a rehearing Of
the issues by the full nine-man
appellate bench.
AS a preliminary move, the
prosecutor planned to file today
a petition for an extension Of
time in which to make the re-
hearing motion. Today is the
deadline for filing the melton
but, Mr.. Rover said, a delay IS
necessary to complete the PRINT
ing of the brief.

District Funds
Requests Include
$650,300 More for
St. EIizubeths

President Eisenhower today
sent to Congress supplemental
District appropriation requests
totaling $996,889 to take care Of
added expenses of the city in this
fiscal year and some back bills.
Largest item on the list was
$650.300 to meet increased rates
for the Districts patients in st.
Elizabeths Hospital. 1t will
bring the total bill for the cur
rent year to $10,330,000.
The per diem rate went up eff
fective last July J from $4.90 to
$5.24. OF the increased rate, $4.97
represents the cost OF patient
care. and 81 cents is for the cost
of major maintenance and con-
struction the District is now re-
quired to pay.
$152,90O for Welfare
The supplementals also in
cluded $152,900 for the Depart
ment of Public Welfare to meet
the increase in the public as
sistance rolls here.
The city had an appropria-
ton of $3,020,272 for this fiscal
year to take care of, an average
relief roll of 1900 a month.
The number in July. however.
was 8,049. and by November it
had reached 8.401.
1t was estimated that the city
would need an additional $224,-
I'll altogether, but by curtail-
ment of some services enough
savings will be effected to cut
the supplemental appropriation
need to $152.900.
Other items in today's re-
quest were $2S,O07.68 for pay
ment of claims; $10,586.71. for
payment of judgments and $685.
094.72 for audited claims.
Overtime Authority Asked
The Presidents request also
asked authority for the District
to pay firemen for the overtime
service they put in during the
American Legion convention last
year.
The fiscal years budget did
carry an appropriation for pay
ment of policemen for their over
time service on the convention.
The city expected to have help
from the Army. but used firemen
for patrol duty when this was
not forthcoming.
Less than $4,000 of the money
already available will be needed
for the overtime payment to fire.
men. not to exceed a total of IL
hours pay for any one man.
Among the claims for which
additional money is sought is
one of $146,940.32 for the De-
partment of Corrections to pay
back bills from 1852 for the sup
port of District prisoners in
Federal institutions.
The supplemental request
would bring appropriations for
the city this fiscal year to $780,
