Mental Health?

Presumably, the authorities In New
York had good reason for reducing a
burglary charge against DR.. Price Kirk
patrick to the relatively minor complaint
OF petty larceny. It seems that the items
he stole from strangers house were
not of sufficient value to support the
more serious charge.
1t is not so easy to understand why
DR.. Prices superiors have refused to
accept his resignation as mental health
director for New York City's Domestic
Relations Court DR.. Price, who admits
he 'burglarized the house as lark, has
been suspended pending final disposition
of his case. But If the refusal to accept
his resignation means that he is to re-
sumo his duties as director of mental
health, one may be permitted a certain
sympathy for the unhappy individuals
whose inability to solve their own prob
lens will bring them in the future into

Mr.. Benson's About-Foce

Now, at long last, after having stood
pat on the issue for several months, Sec
retary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson
has reversed his extraordinary security
risk decision in the Ladejinsky case. In
effect, he thus has implicitly admitted
personal mistake and righted a serious
wrong-a gratifying development that
reflects favorably on him.
Yet, admirable as all this may be, the
fact remains that Mr.. Benson-who has
offered no apologies for his past per-
formance-has taken long time to see
the light. When he ruled against Wolf
Ladejinsky last December, he did SO de-
spite the fact that that distinguished
land expert had previously received full
clearance from the State Department.
Further, as conscientious man con-
vinced Of the soundness Of his own posi-
