to make an investigation Of
these problems:
Tests Of responsibility, prob
lens relating to the commit
ment Of insane defendants,
developments and reforms In
rehabilitation. and the need for
uniform practices in the Fed
ersl courts.
! The District now operates
under q test Of criminal re-
sponsibility that has not been
accepted by another Federal
court. In other Federal courts,
the rule is that a defendant is
not held criminally responsible
for his acts If he could not dis
tinguish right from wrong. In
the District. which added the

years ago. the rule of criminal
responsibility has been further
expanded TO provide that q
man cannot be held responsible
for his crime if the act was the
product of a mental disease or
mental defect.
Asks Immediate Study
Calling for an immediate
beginning of a. study Of laws
governing the insanity defense.
Mr.. Heating made public this
statement:
THE startling release Of
Dallas o. williams is q direct
result Of the confused status Of
Federal laws in the complex
area Of criminality and insan-
ity. It is unthinkable that our
laws should permit the release
Of man with q long history
Of violent acts and who is still
classed as potentially homo
cidal by psychiatriSts.
1T is incredible that we must
wait until such known GRIM
inals commit other crimes be-
fore taking them of the streets.
A more effective and yet Just
method must be evolved for
dealing with the difficult prob
lens raised by such cases.
Clearly. there are serious
areas of disagreement among
psychiatristS. lawyers and the
police. These snafuS are plac-
ing our citizens in jeopardy.
The law relating to insan-
ity should be studied by Con-
gresS to assure a common I'M
derStanding Of the proper
meaning of the terms now en-
ployed. If necessary. a new
statute should be drafted.
only then can We bring
order out of the present chaos
in the handling of insane de-
PENDANTS in Federal jurisdic-
tons.
Caution Need Noted
AT the same time. we should
not try to so too far too fast.
We should not run either the
riSw Of letting hardened GRIM
inals of on phony insanity
pleas. or of sending sick people
TO rails rather than TO hoSpi-
tails where they belong. This
delicate balance must and can
only be achieved after thor
ough and complete study.
The resolution shall offer
in the committee on Tuesday
will provide the machinery
through which this serious
problem can be properly aired.
