Durham Gets
Year in Theft
Enters Guilty Plea
After Mental Ruling

Monte w. Durham, %, central
figure in a case which resulted
in broadening of mental tests
for determining responsibility
for crime, today was sentenced
to serve one year in prison for
petty larceny.
The sentence, the maximum
jail term possible for the charge,
was imposed by Federal Judge
F. Dickinson Let's in United
States District Court, despite a
fervent plea for clemency by
Defense Attorney Sidney Sachs.
Durham, who had pleaded
guilty to the charge after the
Government dropped a house.
breaking count, was ordered
committed Immediately. Dur
ham had been convicted twice
on housebreaking and larceny
charges stemming from theft of
$50 worth Of property from the
home of Donald Hiss. 5000 @
street NV. in July, 1851.
Despite the plea of insanity
he was convicted and sentenced
to serve 3 to 10 years in prison.
This conviction was reversed by
the United States Court of APP
peals in an opinion which broad
ened the mental tests with the
decree that a finding of not
guilty by reason of insanity must
be rendered if the crime is shown
to have been caused by any
mental disease or defect. A new
trial was ordered.
Durham was convicted at the
second tl.:l. But again the find
ing was overturned by the APP
pellate court, this time on the
grounds of judicial error in
charging the jury.
In his plea for leniency today,
Mr.. Sachs told the court Durham
already had spent two and a half
years in jail and another ia
months in st. Elizabeth Hospital
while legal battles were being
fought.
The attorney said that despite
the notoriety attached to Dur
ham. the latter, while free on
bond for the last Is months, had
obtained Job as a printer. had
married and was living up to his
duties as a citizen.

will continue to serve as a vital
strategic base for British mill
tary forces in the Eastern Med
iterranean. The fight against
EOKA terrorists will continue.
A new effort, however, will soon
be forthcoming to give the colony
a constitution providing "a wide
measure of self-government
while safeguarding the interests
of all communities" 1t is learned
here that the British, who have
lost almost as many casualties
to Cypriot terrorism as they
have to the Egyptians in the last
three weeks, have high hopes
that their new efforts at solu-
ton will be accepted.
In Talking Stage
Malta-A new constitutional
scheme is in works for this Sec
ond island redoubt in the Medi-
terranean. Still in the talking
stage, it is hoped that an agree
ment may soon be reached per-
hitting legislation by the British
Parliament followed by general
elections in the colony. Rela-
tons between Britain and Malta
have been good in comparison
to conditions in Cyprus. But
studies are being made to find
ways Of smoothing economic dis
putes.
Caribbean Federation - Long
made >plans to elevate Britain's
western Atlantic possessions to
commonwealth status are near
completion. A constitution for

eminent for the island group and
providing for a grant Of a mil
lion pounds to get the show of

present timetable. a governor
general of the new federation
will be appointed by next fall.

liberaliZe the legal status Of
several important colonial areas.
In others, such as Malta and
Cyprus, there are new promises
of self government and in the
case of Kenya an end to special
military measures.
Alan Lennox-Boyd, the Colo
NAL secretary who announced
these changes to Parliament,
made the point quite clear:
while we have been guiding
and directing the tide of ma
tionalism in the British colonies
and not running counter to it
we have been subjected to mon
strOus charges overseas and a
good deal Of ill-infolmed ignor-
ance even at home. What we
have been engaged in doing is
in vivid contrast to the continual
and increased suppression of
liberty and economic servitude
imposed by Soviet imperialism
on its subject people,"
Further and Faster
What Mr.. Lennox- Boyd had
been doing was also to a large
extent news to most of his hear
'ers. AS the details of the various
projects unfolded it appeared
that the British government was
going further and faster than it
has gone in the past to bring a
number of difficult negotiations
to an early and satisfactory
conclusion.

United States delegation to dis
