NEW YORK. Feb. 4 CAP)-
Andrei Porumbeanu, sutton of
Heiress Gamble Benedict, was
sued for separation today by
his wife.
She accused him in her COM
plant of "Brazenly carrying on
an affair" with the 19-year-

LATIN AMERICAN NOTES
Mexico's Chief Ends
5-Notion Unity Trip

LIMA, Peru, Feb. 4 (AP).-
President Adolfo Lopez Mateos
of Mexico wound up his South
American tour last night with
expressed confidence that he
has planted seeds for a better
life for all Latin Americans.
The originally scheduled six
nation tour was reduced to five
when Bolivia was skipped be-
cause of weather conditions.
Mr.. Lopez Mateos' $4,000
mile trip gave Mexico a new
personality in the southern con-
tinent. Hitherto, despite COM
mon historic backgrounds, Gull
tural affinities. and similar po-
litical ideals, few south Ameri-
cans really knew Mexico.
For them, it was a country
bordering on the United States,
separated by Central America
and aloof from their CONNER
cial and political development.
Now, they seem to see the
country personified in 49-year-
old Mr.. Lopez Mateos. an ex-
ponent of Latin American unity.

Youth Answers Doctors
In AU SIoying Case

In response to a court order,
John s. Sweeney has been talk
ing with st. Elizabeths Hospital
psychiatrists who will be called
to testify about his mental con-
dition. Sweeney is accused of
Staying his sweetheart last
April 26.
Until the order last month,
Sweeney, 20, of West Orange,
N. j., had refused to cooperate
with hospital authorities on ad-
vice of his attorney, Myron G..
Ehrlich.
Sweeney is under indictment
on charges of Stabbing to death
Miss Judith Hubbard, 21-year-
Did daughter of a Navy admiral,
during a lovers quarrel on the
American University campus.
DR.. Dale C. Cameron, acting
superintendent at St. Eliza
beths. said Sweeney apparently
had been cooperating fully
with psychiatrists and psychol-
ogists for the past 10 days.
He has talked with members
of the staff, and taken tests,
Evening star., 1960-10-06

each time he has been ap-
preached, DR.. Cameron said.
Previously, Sweeney had been
examined only by four doctors
retained by his family. This
has stymied efforts of the
prosecution to obtain qualified
testimony from other than de-
fense-appointed doctors. The
prosecution must prove Sweeney
was of sound mind at the time
of the Staying.
After refusing to talk To hos
pital psychiatrists at the Dis
trict Jail, Sweeney was re-
moved to the hospital by court
order for a 90-day examination.
He still refused to talk, on
advice of counsel, who said in
doing so Sweeney might be
jeopardizing his constitutional
rights.
Last month Chief Judge
David A. Pine said it was an
"intolerable situation" for the
Government to be deprived of
preparing for an insanity de-
fense and ordered Sweeney to
cooperate.

Metro Setup
Unity Stressed

The governing bodies in the
Metropolitan Area were urged
last night to work together in
planning and administering
any public works projects that
would affect more than one
jurisdiction.
The advice came from Henry
Fagin, executive director of the
Pennsylvania-Jerse Transpor-
tation Study, who addressed a
dinner meeting of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Regional
Conference.
The conference, created in
1857 to promote co-ordinated
action in the solution of re-
gional problems, reelected Dis
trict Commissioner Robert E.
Mclaughlin for a two-year
term as chairman.
Mr.. Fagin told the local Off
cials:
:'We can still retain local gov
ernments, but these groups
should meet to work together
on problems that are mutual
to ALL"
For example. you can't have
three different transit systems
and still have co-existence &.
without getting the right and
left hand together" he added.
In other action, the confer
ence:
/. Reelected Maryland State
Senator Edward S. Northrop of
Montgomery County and Vir-
ginia State Senator Charles R.
Fenwick of Arlington to two
year terms as the groups vice
chairmen.
2. Adopted a $4,000 budget
for the 1862 fiscal year, almost
double the amount that will be
needed to finance the confer
ence this fiscal year.
3. Accepted Prince William
County as a member of the
organization, thereby increas-
ing the Virginia counties rep
resented to three, as compared
to Maryland's two.
Last nights meeting at the
Shoreham Hotel was attended
by nearly 100 members of the
governing bodies of the five
counties and independent cities
in the Washington area, the
three District Commissioners,
one member each of the Sen
ate and House of Delegates Of

member each from the District
