Violence Threatens
MoIIet in Algeria

ALGIERS, Algeria. Feb. 2 tP1.
A crowd of 100000 French
men cheered retiring Gov. Gen.
Jacques Soustelle today and con-
demned policies Of the new Paris
government toward Algeria.
The demonstration signalled
difficulties and perhaps violence
for the expected arrival next
week Of French Premier Guy
Mollet and his Minister for Al
geria. Gen. George Catroux. on
their peace-making mission.
Gen. Soustelle's departure for
France was held up more than
an hour by the crowd. mainly
made UP Of war veterans, who
chanted such slogans as resign
Mollet" and "Catroux. au po-
teau." which translates roughly
as burn Catroux at the stake.
Mr.. Mollet has pledged to
make the trip to Algeria to end
the violence here and plan for
free elections in preparation for
negotiating new ties with
France.

RapeConviction
Blocked Again

y n
The United States Court of APP
peals for the District today. for
the second time. acted to block
the rape conviction of Kenneth
H. Gunther.
The tribunal held that a hear
ing to determine Gunther's men.
tai competency as Of the time Of
his trial did not meet legal re-
|quirements.
Guther is the central figure IN
10 1854 landmark opinion Of the
appellate court. In that opinion
the court ruled that mental COM
tpetency to stand trial must be
liudicially determined and can
not rest solely on mere certifica-
Ition by hospital authorities.
1t ordered such a judicial hear
ing to determine If Gunther was
competent to aid In his defense
when he was convicted and SEN
fenced to serve three to nine
years.
Subsequently, the judicial
hearing was conducted and
Gunther was found to have been
mentally competent as Of the
time Of his original trial.
Cites Naming Of Attorney
But today, the court pointed
out that Gunther's attorney at
the hearing had been appointed
on the same day and the court
implied he had not had reason
able length of time to prepare.
The court also criticized the
calling as a witness. by the Gov
eminent, of Gunther's trial at
torney.
IF trial counsel in a criminal
case could be called by the Gov
eminent and asked to give an
opinion as to the accused's COM
Ipentency and ability to assist in
the defense, he could necessarily
also be asked for the factual data
upon which he promised his opir1-
ion." the court stated.
These questions would open
to inquiry by the Government
the entire relationship between
the accused and his counsel.
Such revelations would be a vio-
Ilation of the attorney-client
privilege and would also invade
IAN accused's right to counsel in
the trial Of the criminal charge"
the opinion declared.
Refers to Griffin Finding
The court referred to a find
ing by DR.. Thomas E. Griffin,
chief of the Legal Psychiatric
Services, who examined Gunther
in jail several months after the
hearing. DR.. Griffin found Gun
ther to be Of unsound mind al
though at the hearing Gunther
had been found mentally COM
Ipetent as Of trial time.
The appeals court said that II

the time lapse since the trial.
the District Court felt it was
|impracticable now to try to de-
Itermine Gunther's mental state
las of the time Of his trial, Dis
|trict Court should set aside the
conviction and order a new trial

Administration officials SCOT
at this. declaring there is no in
Itention Of weakening the civil
service retirement system and
that its independent operation
will continue unimpeded.
But Federal employe leaders
are not convinced and will con-
ltinue to oppose the administra-
ltion plan.
This puts Congress on the
spot. Without employe support
the social security proposal
doesn't stand much chance. The
Question now is how much Of an
increase in retirement and lib
leralization benefits Congress
feels the civil service retirement
system can afford and wha,

COMPARISON - There is n G
doubt that the administrators
Iplan would give the widows and
orphans of Federal workers much
greater benefits than the Johns
/ ton bill.
Regarding annuities, the
Johnston bill would increase
them by 80 per cent, compared
/ to an average 8 per cent increase
provided by supplemental social
security coverage. The admins
Itration's plan would not provide
Iany increase to the employees
ANNUITY until age IS when social
security would come into play
And when the employees wife
reached IS, she also would re-
ceive a social security pension.
Thus, after a man and his
wife both reached 65. their COM
Ibined pension would be slightly
higher than that provided for by
the Johnston bill. But the Johns
ton measure would give consid-
erably higher annuities in the
five years preceding age IS.
Furthermore. social security
payments are denied to persons
who take jobs paying more than
1900 a year. This would i'm
pose a financial penalty on those

of the Civil Service Retirement
System has issued it's 32nd an
|nual report, expressing grave
concern over the systems finan-
Icial outlook.
The board. composed of pri-
Ivate actuaries, declared that the
Government owes the fund more
than $l3 billion and that the
deficit is growing larger every
day.
The board made 1t plain that
unless the Government begins
to make a stable annual con.
Itribution to the fund. the day
may come when the retirement
system would not have funds on
hand to pay the benefits Of pres
lent Federal workers when they
retire.
The Governments failure to
match the 6 per cent contribu-
tons Of Federal employees hat
caused the present unfunded
deficit.
There is no immediate danger
to the retirement system, but
the Board of Actuaries enpha-
sized that the Government soon
must face its obligations to the
fund.
And II Congress this year APP
proves greater family and family
survivorship benefits. the funds
deficit will grow,
The situation points UP the
need for Congress to provide
adequate financing of the civil
service retirement system to take
care not only Of current Govern
ment obligations but future IL
abilities that would result from
increased benefits, retirement
experts say.

Farm Acreage
|NayBeCutby
Over 1OPct.
By JOSEPH A. FOX

More than 40 million acres Of
cropland will be, taken out of
production under the new farm
program on which the Senate
Agriculture Committee is now
at work.
This was the indication today
as the committee continued to
work on the legislation which
Senator Eilender, Democrat Of
Louisiana. the chairman. hopes
to bring to the Senate floor
within two weeks.
The prospective cut viii rep
resent less than 10 per cent Of
the Nations total cropland.
which approximates 478 million
acres. but 1t is in excess of 10
Iper cent Of the $50 million acres
which actually are In production.
Cutbacks Key Feature
While still split on various
phases of the farm program
NOTABLY the support price issue
the committee seemingly was
moving toward agreement on the
Icropland cutback which is the
key feature Of the prospective
legislation.
Designed to develop a "soil
bank" that would be available for
future productive needs. the cut
back aims at the reduction Of
acreage now given over TO wheat.
cotton. rice and corn, and the
conversion Of other land to tim
Der and forage reserves and wa
ter storage.
Farmers participating in the
lprogam would be paid In cash
and commodities from the Gov
iernment's big store Of surplus
food and fiber.
Reporting progress on the soil
bank plan, which has admins
Itration backing. Senator Aiken.
Vermont. ranking Republican on
the committee, said that the
group is showing "a great deal
Of interest In working together
and working this out"
Ellender Optimistic
Senator Eliender also spoke
optimistically Of the outlook for
the soil bank program.
Tentatively, the committee Is
| figuring on q three-million acre
cutback on cotton land which
now approximates II million
acres: IL million on wheat's SIS
million acres. and retirement to
the conservation reserve Of Is
million acres Of other land.
The corn cutback is the Dig
question mark. because about 90
per cent Of the farmers want

gram cutting corn production.

and feed 1t to livestock. This
latitude. in turn, has been pro-
ducing both livestock and feed

III the Government Is going to

Corn Acreage Cut
The Agriculture Department
yesterday took another reef in
corn land. limiting production
this year to 1920. 543 acres. q
cut of about Is per cent in the
1855 growing area. The acreage
limit is not binding on farmers
waving supports.
The committee, working be-
hind closed doors. still is arguing
over the support price level. and
Senator Ellender says the new
farm program may rise or fall
on the issue. 1t seems certain
that the price-cutting sliding
scale supports, instituted in the
10. o. P.-backed farm bill in
1854, will be replaced by a for
mula providing more cash for
the farm belt. This may take
the form of higher prices for
quality" products. or q return
to the across-the-board rigid
supports of Democratic days for
basic crops--a move that un-
doubtedly would be opposed by
the Administration.
