Leach Is seeking his release
from the hospital. He was sent
there as a result OF two NOS

verdicts In District Court trials
In November and January.
Duval Lead Followed
DR.. Cody was following the
lead OF DR.. Addison M. Duval,
assistant superintendent OF the
hospital, who testified yesterday
psychiatriSts are being asked "a
talk in improper terms In court
trials involving insanity pleas.
DR.. Duval said the medical
men should not be asked u
testify in terms Of insanity ~
unsoundness Of mind" since
these are not medical-but Legal
terms.
DR.. Cody had testified IN
Leach's November trial for pos.
session OF stolen Government
property that Leach was Of I'M
sound mind. He also said al
that time Leach-though suffer
ing from a sociopathic persOh
atty disturbance-did not nave
a mental illness.
He said today. however. thai
Leach does have a mental ILL
ness and is in need OF further
psychiatric treatment. He drew
this conclusion, though admit
ting Leachs condition is un.
changed since the earlier trial
DR.. Duval's testimony IN
Leach's November trial had
much to do with the insanity
verdict handed down by tht
Jury.

platform committee, headed by
Clair ]. Killoran, said:
"We believe in representative
government, and pursuant to that
principle we advocate equal coun-
ty representation in the State Sen
ate, irrespective of population and
representation in the State House
of Representatives proportionate
to the population of the several
political subdivisions"
This was interpreted to mean
that Senate membership would re-
main as it is, with Eve members
from each county, plus two from
Wilmington; also that the real
change would be made in the lower
chamber - the House - with the
northern part of the state gaining
at the expense of the southern part.
The plank was found in the Sec
tion of the platform titled, "Execu-
tive And Legislative.
The objection to this plank was
raised by Everett Warrington of
Harbeson, a delegate from the
Eighth Representative District of
Sussex County.
A lawyer, Mr.. Warrington made
a strong speech against any change
in the present apportionment OF
Legislators. He said, among other
| things:
ST don't think that Sussex Coun-
ty is playing as big part in the
business and the affairs of the state
of Delaware as it should be playing
and if such a proposal became law
it would play an even smaller
part"
The delegate also said that tthey
say that platforms mean nothing
but it is a fact that platforms are
on the record and that our repre-
sentatives, at least technically, run
on the platform" He referred to
the apportionment division as "a
bit insidious" and added that he
had been informed that the plank
was being withdrawn.
But Mr.. Warrington wanted to
| be certain that it was being with
drawn and so he moved that If il
were not withdrawn that the Sus-
sex County delegation go on rec
ord as opposing it when the plat
form is read before the convention
At this time Robert Short of
Millsboro, a delegate from the
Sixth Representative District, said !:
II wonder about the advisability
of this motion. This plank may no
longer be in the platform"
Mr.. Short explained that he was
in favor of the motion if the plank
continued viable-Otherwise he
saw no use for it.
Norman B. Baylis of Lewes, a
Sussex County chairman, then said
that he had been in a pow-wow
with other county leaders and that
New Castle County had agreed to
withdraw the plank.
This relieved the tension for
Sussex County but the motion was

Two New Bulletins For

The other bulletin is called "In-
surance in the Farm Business" and
is Cornell Extension Bulletin 1908.
The bulletin says. "A generation
ago, life insurance and fire insur-
ance were the extent of many
farmers coverage. Today these are
not enough. Modern equipment and
commercial farm operations have
added new risks to the business
and complicated the picture on
existing risks"
This bulletin deals with the
ways a farmer can reduce the
risks of his farm business by us
ing the various kinds of insurance.
With the average farm invest
ment increasing every day, insur-
ance becomes increasingly import
ant. Because of the nature of the
farm business it is open to many
kinds of loss. Liability is COM
mon heartbreaker for farmers.
Besides employees on the farm,
there are other risks such as these
which the bulletins lists: A sales
man falls on an icy step and breaks
a leg; a neighbor's child is bitten
by the farmers dog; a hunter Is
injured while ON the farm and
claims negligence on the part OF
the farmer; a visitor to the farm
falls from wagon and is injured.
Details are given on fire, prop
erty, motor vehicle, liability, health
and accident, and crop insurance.
