A communique issued after a
flve-day conference said all
parties accepted the basic
principle that the West Indies,
when independent. would have
the right to form its own al
liances and to conclude such
agreements as it thought fit
regarding military bases on its

Destroyer Deal Recalled
The announcement thus
spelled a drastic revision of the
historic 194l agreement be-
tween Sir Winston Churchill

the Americans base rights in
the West Indies until the year
2040 in return for so used de-
stroyers and other military
equipment at a crucial time in
the war against the Nazis.
The five bases are one each
in Antigua, Jamaica and Santa

The communique said:
"The representatives of the
United States declared their
readiness to release uncondi-

areas which they at present
hold"

French civil and military au-

by the resignation of Andre
Jacomet. secretary general of
the Algerian administration, in
protest against President
Charles de- Gaulle's pledge of
an all-Algerian regime.
Mr.. Jacomet, 43-year-old
civil servant, held one of the
top posts in the Algerian ad-
ministration. He was in charge
of the Constantine plan for AL

His action threatened to touch
off designations among other
French officials who resent Mr..
de Gaulle's thinking on the
Algerian problem.
The President last week
spoke of an eventual algerian
republic" and said the Algerian
government must eventually be
in the hands of Algerians at all

Space Disappearing

THE referendum was de-
feated partly because Of mis-
understandings about the rela-
tionship between urban renewal
and public housing and partly
because those best qualified to
explain this relationship and
other aspects of urban renewal
had not foreseen the need to
do so." the report said.
Declaring that vacant space
in the county is vanishing
rapidly, the planners said:
IF a crash land acquisition
program is not undertaken i'm
mediately, it is doubtful that
Arlington will be able to meet
the recreational needs of its
future population"
The report did not specify
what the county's optimum
population would be If it re-
mains primarily a residential

coming will permit a maximum
population of about 100000.
In effect, though, the plan

He also commended the law

biggest pressure came from

Limit Growth
BY JOHN BARRON
star Sta6 Writer

Arlington planners today
told the county that growth is
not necessarily good and ad-
vised it to restrain future COM
mercial, industrial and apart
ment development.
They also advocated estab-
lishment of an urban renewal
authority and a crash pro-
gram" to buy vacant land in
the county.
The recommendations are
contained in a report suggest
ing population and develop
ment policies for the county.
Alexandria and Fairfax
County are courting new indus
trial and apartment projects,
which often pay the community
more money in taxes than they
extract in municipal services.
But the planners report
argued that Arlington's most
valuable asset is its character
as a residential suburb located
nearer to downtown Washing
ton than any other.
Caution Advised
It urged the County Board to
look warily upon any proposed
business and apartment devel-
opments which might alter the
county's character or depreciate
the value of its homes.
If Arlington remains pre-
dominantiy q suburb, the re-
port predicts, the worth of its
residential property and its tax
base steadily will grow as de-
mand for quality homes near
the center of the sprawling
metropolitan area increases.
"We don't know what a con-
servative development policy
will cost U.S." said Sam Ellis
worth. a eonsultant who helped
prepare the report.
But we believe it will pay
off in dollars and cents as well
as in other values. We think
the long-range benefits Of a.
conservative policy will exceed
the short-term tax gains of
admitting too many apart
mentS and businesses too fast"
All Growth Not Good
Tom Moore, planning direc-
tor. said: Actually. what we
are doing is contradicting the
myth that all growth is good.
There are instances where it
is not. 1t is on this point that
we have to make a major break
between Arlington ana other
counties"
The report warned that Ar
lington's future heavily de-
pends on combating decay in
an older section.
This one will be a for
midable task with Federal as
sistance; an impossible one
without" IL declared.
Should an urban renewal au-
thority be created. the Federal
Government would pay twogi
thirds OF the cost Of acquiring
property for redevelopment.
In a 1858 referendum, voters
overwhelmingly opposed estah-
lishment Of a renewal author

Star stan Writer

A big increase in District
criminal insanity cases has
jammed hospital facilities and
left a record number waiting in
Jail.
Washington court verdicts of
mot guilty by reason of in
sanity" increased 72 per cent
in 1859. The increased use of
insanity as a defense is re-
fiected in the number of de-
PENDANTS committed to st. Eliz-
abethS Hospital.
In 1854, only three persons
were committed after acquit-
tails; in 1857, there were 10; m
1858, 80, and last year, 81.
The increase comedies with a
trend in court decisions making
mental illness a stronger de-
fense against criminal charges.
A 1855 law requires that de-
PENDANTS acquitted because of
insanity be committed until
they are judged to have re-
covered.
Months in Jail
The increase in sanity ac-
quittals has left up to so de-
PENDANTS in jail at one time for
three months or more, await
ing pre-trial treatment or
examination, because insanity
acquittals have priority at St.
Elizabeths.
The John Howard Pavilion at
the hospital, a large maximum
security building for court
cases, was opened last Septem-
ber, and officials then agreed 1t
would solve, for a long time,
the problem of finding room
for cases from court. 1t re-
placed a smaller facility.
But DR.. Winfred Overholser
superintendent of st. Eliza
beths, says the present waiting
list is the longest yet. District
General Hospital has only IL
beds in its maximum security
ward for mental cases Of this
type; the rest must wait in Jail
until one of the 800 beds at
the pavilion is vacant.
DR.. William G. Cushard,
clinical director. says the num-
ber Of court cases sent to max
tmum-security facilities has in

creased from 81 in 1854 to a
record 19l last year.
Chief Judge David A. Pine
pointed out that almost 20 per
cent Of the defendants await
ing trial at District Court now
first must undergo mental ex-
aminations. The delay in ex-
aminations seriously hampers
disposition of the 242 cases now
on the criminal court calendar,
the judge said.
Judge Pine expressed his con-
cern yesterday when an at
torney, Mrs. Lillian A. c. Ken
nedy, presented a typical case:
Kermit A. Woodward, jr., %,
was charged with stealing
letters containing money orders
and cashing one of them. But
since ne had been in st.
Elizabeths before his arrest, the
court ordered that he be ex-
amined by psychiatrists to see
whether he was able to stand
trial.
Judge Pine had ordered the
periods for these mental ex-
aminations heightened from 30
to 80 days last fall at the re-
quest of overburdened hospital
psychiatriStS. But not until
yesterday, 104 days after he
had been ordered Committed"
for examinations, was Wood
ward taken from the District
Jail to the John Howard Pa
vilion. 1t probably will be many
weeks yet before the court will
receive a report on his mental
state.
Rights Held Violated
Attorneys have objected that
holding defendants so long
violates their rights to a speedy
trial and freedom on bond.
Judge Pine said he too is
concerned with the delays But
he said the procedure is in line
with the law and appellate
rulings. These do not set any
time limit on such tests, nor
do they allow bail, the Judge
pointed out.
Judge Pine denied Mrs. Ken
nedy's request that Woodward
be freed.
DR.. Cushard said he hopes
the situation viii be relieved,
at least temporarily, with the
opening Of three more wards
containing 81 beds by the end
of May.
| CONGRESS repeatedly has
been warned by psychiatrists
and officials that the hospital
is dangerously understaffed and
in need of more buildings. The
proposed budget for the next
fiscal year requests money to
hire $50 more physicians and
construct more facilities for
patients.
