Hospital Sanity Tests
Ordered for Rockwell

George Lincoln Rockwell, AZ.
American Nazi Party leader,
was committed yesterday to
District General Hospital for
a 30-day mental observation to
determine if he is competent to
stand trial on disorderly con-
duct charges.
Municipal Court Judge
George D. Nelson ordered the
examination following a day
long trial in a courtroom
packed with spectators.
Rockwell'S attorney, o. B.
Parker, said he would ask Judge
Nelson today to reconsider his
order. If this doesn't work, Mr..
Parker said, he will file a writ
of habeas corpus in District
Court.
The charge against Rockwell
Stemmed from two indictments
July 3 and July "a when he
and 16 party members clashed
with hecklerS during Nazi
Party rallies in the Mall and at
Judiciary Square.
Rockwell's case was contin-
ued until August 26. Disorderly
conduct charges against IA of
his troopers" were continued
until August 81.

Sought Attention

Rockwell, himself, testified
said he had reSorted to "sensa-
tional" methods to gain the
public's attention.
In his own defense, he said
he loved the American Con-
stitution and continued: Il feel
the only thing between me and
the bughouse this minute is the
Constitution.
IF the Government is per-
mitted to put me under lock
and key for 80 days, this will
be a gross violation of a per-
sons right to speak his idea"

Area Youths
Returning to
New Prison

One-hundred and fifty young
lawbreakers will be returned
gradually to the Washington
area with the opening of the
$45 million District Reforma-
tory this September.
The youths will be returning
by the busload from Federal
Ireformatories in Ashland, KY,
Petersburg, Va, and Chilli
cothe, Ohio. They will be enter
ing a model facility at Lorton,
Va, that is expected to reach
its 800 inmate capacity in
short order.
Prison officials said the
change will boost chances to
Irehabilitate the youths, mostly
l8 to %, who were sentenced
by District Court judges.
Family Influence
Being closer to home, they
will have a better chance to
maintain and improve family
relationships. Some of them
are married and the transfers
might prevent family break
ups. In addition. it is better
to keep young prisoners in a
community institution, avoid
ing the formation of geographic
cliqueS, one high-ranking
Bureau of Prisons official said
The reformatories are ad-
ministered separately from the
Federal prisons for adults. They
provide more flexible rehabili-
tation than is available in the
standard prison.
District Court judges COM
nit young men under the Youth
Corrections Act who they be-
lieve do not yet belong in the
adult criminal category. The
commitments have been limited
by a shortage of space and it
is expected that the new local
reformatory will raise the rate
of YEA commitments from the
District.

and cartoons he said prove
Rockwell is dangerous"
Mr.. Kings chief witness, DR..
John D. Schultz, medical di-
rector of District General Hos
pital, testified that a review of
the material indicated to him
"a probability Rockwell is of
unsound mind"
DR.. Schultz, former head of
the hospitals psychiatric de-
partment, said RockWell'S per-
Sonality shows traces of mental
illness and that. from the
nature of the illness, one would
have to assume he could be
very dangerous"
Tells of Gas Chamber"
! Another Government wit
ness, Henry c, Burchard, ir.,
I21, a Northern Virginia Sun
reporter, testified he joined
the American Nazi Party while
a student last year at George
Washington University to get
material for a sociology course
on deviant behavior.
Mr.. Burchard said .Ie heard
Rockwell speak Of CXtermi-
mating Jewish traitors and
that he found swastikas and a
light switch labeled gas
chamber" in the Rockwell resi-
dence at 928 North Randolph
street, Arlington.
Five party members, among
those charged with diSorderly
conduct, told the court they
believed Rockwell was COM
petent.
Rockwell's attorneys also
produced a letter from a pSy-
chologist, Dr. Thomas w. Muir
ply, which said his examina-
ton of Rockwell proved him
to be sane and competent to
stand trial.
Mr.. Parker, Rockwell'S attor-
ney. explained he had not
called DR.. Murphy to testify
in person at the psychologist 5
request.

The plan, which was contained in

Middle and low-income people

Highways, Highway Taxation,
And Highway Safety

AS Democrats, we recognize that the fu-
ture progress, development and welfare of
the State of Montana, and the prosperity of
it's citizenry, depends in large measure upon
an expanded and improved system of high
ways, both primary and secondary, and farm
to market roads, and the consequent i'm
provement of transportation facilities at low
or cost. To that end we deplore the lack of
progress made in highway development DUR
ing the past several years, together with the
exorbitant costs of the present highway pro-
gram and to the end that Montana's prog
ress and development should be encouraged,
we propose the following:
l. thorough overhauling of present pro-
cedures under which annual maintenance
costs of Montana highways have risen far
above those of adjoining states, due largely
to improper classification of projects, with
a consequent failure to properly utilize
available federal funds. We advocate greater
use of reconstruction techniques, for which
federal funds are available, and lesser use
of maintenance betterments, done solely
with state funds.
2. We advocate close and careful recon
sideration of the location of rights of way
for highways to the end that the future pro-
ductive capacity of Montana's fruitful farm
lands be not damaged more than absolutely
necessary to secure adequate transportation
facilities on our interstate system.
g. We deplore the constantly rising over
head costs of our Highway Department,
caused by such things as the excessively
costly employment of private engineering
firms. We advocate greater and more eff
cient usage of the undeniably competent
engineering talent within the department

Compensation Act


In view of the Republican Governors veto
of improvements enacted by the last session
of the legislature the Montana Workmen's
Compensation Act is still antiquated and in
adequate. We therefore continue to urge
enactment of Workmens Compensation
Law for disabled workers and increased
benefits for the disabled, at least equal to
the standards compatible with decency and
health established for Public Welfare re-
cipients. We favor elimination of maximum
periods of benefits for permanently disabled
workers; and further urge the rehabilitation
program for disabled workers be expanded.
We favor emphasis of a safety and accident
prevention law.
We urge compulsory cOverage under the
Workmens Compensation Act. We urge
elimination of Plan II coverage in order to
remove the profit motive from compensation
of injured workmen, their children and their
widows. In any event there must be closer
supervision by the Industrial Accident Board
so that injured workmen may receive the
benefits of the Act. We condemn in the
strongest terms the present administration
policy of piling up unnecessary reserves by
excessive premium rates on Plan Ill en-
ployers.
We commend the Democratic majority of
the 1859 legislature for passage of the first
Montana Occupational Disease Act and for
excluding the Republican sponsored waiver
clause in such act. We recognize that the
law is only beginning and urge it's i'm
provement to the end that the burden of in
dustrial disease will be properly transferred
to the industries responsible. We condemn
the Republican administration for its COM
plete failure to take the necessary admins
trative steps to implement the occupational
disease law and make it effective.

full capacity Poor administration and lack
of organization, in addition to unnecessarily
increasing costs, are seriously impeding the
development of our highway program.
4. We continue to advocate an equitable
highway financing program.
5. We will resist any attempt to withdraw
the tax exemption of fuel used for non
highway purposes.
6. We oppose use of highway debentures
except in those cases where federal funds
are available and are in danger of being lost
for lack of necessary matching funds. In case
of such emergency we advocate restricting
the use of such bonds to construction pur-
poses only, and permitting their use only
when otherwise federal funds would be lost.
In this way, wasteful recurring crises in
highway construction could be avoided, and
costs leveled out. over a period of years
