Refusal Of Guilty Plea
Upheld in Insanity Case

"A judge can refuse to accept
a guilty plea If he has evidence
the accused was mentally Ill
at the time Of the crime OF
needs psychiatric treatment,
the United States Court OF
Appeals ruled today.
The court, In a 6.3 decision,
made the ruling in the case OF
Frederick c. Lynch. 42-year-old
former Air Force lieutenant
colonel.
The court rejected the argu-
ment Of Lynch's attorneys
from the American Civil Liber-
ties Union, that Lynch had the
right to avoid indefinite COM
mitment and the stigma Of q
mental institution.
bad Check Charges
Lynch first appeared in Mu-
nicipal Court in November.
1859, on two $50 bad check
charges. He was sent to Dis
trict General Hospital for psy-
chiatric tests. When he re-
turned to Municipal Court a
month later with q finding
that he was competent to
stand trial. Lynch tried to
plead guilty.
Chief Judge John Lewis
Smith, jr.. refused the plea
after psychiatrists told him
Lynch had been Of unsound
mind at the time he wrote the
checks and was in need Of fur
ther psychiatric treatment to
insure against repetition of the
offenses.
Judge Smith committed
Lynch to St. Elizabeths Hos
pital over his protests after
finding that Lynch was not
guilty by reason of insanity.
Later. acting on a petition
for a writ Of habeas corpus,
District Court Judge Joseph c.

McGarraghy held that Munich
pal Court did not have jurisdic-
ton to commit Lynch in the
way it was done.
Held No Abuse
Today's majority opinion.
written by Judge Walter M.
Bastian, held that Lynch's
commitment to st. Elizabeths
by Judge Smith was not only
far from an abuse Of diScre-
ton but also it would seem af-
firmatively to have been the
best possible decision, II not
the only just one"
The opinion underlined its
position further by saying: 1T
would have been q plain abuse
Of discretion for the trial Judge,
in these circumstances, to al
low a plea by which society
would brand such q person
with a criminal record. :.
Society has a stake in see
ing to it that a defendant who
needs hospital care does not
go to prison"
The majority also found al
most a positive duty on the
part Of the trial Judge not to
impose a criminal sentence on
a mentally Ill person.
Joining with Judge BaStian
were Chief Judge Wilbur K,
Miller and Judges E. Barrett
Prettyman, George T. Wash
ington, John A. Danaher and
Warren E. Burger.
The minority opinion, writ
ten by Judge Charles Fahy and
joined by Judges David L.
Bazelon and Henry w. Edger-
ton, contended that the Gov-
ernment cannot have a person
committed as of unsound mind
by using a criminal rather
than a civil procedure.

BY $50 am. a half dozen
employees in each Of the seven
divisions were frantically try
ing to locate the swing-run
men at home, at markets, in
movies and elsewhere.
The first group Of swing
run drivers had to be located
and ready for the new rush
hour within two hours. Gov
.ernment agencies in the Bureau
of Engraving area begin re-
leasing employees, on normal
days, at $3.50 pm. The new
rush hour, therefore. would
begin at 1880 am.
Servicing and refueling the
buses to be hustled back on
the streets early presented q
lesser problem. Each vehicle,
Mr.. Goad said, Is processed
and gassed as soon as it re-
turns to its division depot.
BY 10 am, Transit head
quarters had passed the snow
alert on to its sailing and sand
ing crews. :,
About rs men operate IS

"Dedicated People"
Those guys are dedicated

to call them when q snow

said. .fe"
Not al Of the 100 rush-hour
drivers would be found and

admitted. He said that in an

Shortly after II an, Mr..
Goad and Alfred e. Savage.

when q District Highway De.
partment aide telephoned with
the first alert on the snow. It
had been tentatively decided to
release all Government work

Mr.. Goad Immediately re-
piled the plan would lead to
chaos and suggested that. for
maximum cooperation from
the transit firm, District and
Government officials agree to
a release of employees exactly
four hours ahead of their nor
NAL quitting time.
Since Government agencies
normally dismiss workers on a
staggere d-hour basis. Mr.,
Goad's plan would forestall a
sudden rush Of all dismissed
employees and would enable the
transit company to move rush.

,Twiss Confirms Plan
Within five minutes, Francis
Twiss, director of vehicles and
traffic, called back to say that
officialdom had agreed to the
four-hour plan and that the
Government agencies would be
asked to observe 1t strictly.
Mr.. Goad vividly recalls the
sudden, half-panicked exodus
of Government employees at 3
pm. when the pre-Inaugural
snowstorm struck.
I'm q way it was perfect
timing today" Mr.. Goad said.
Every Thursday morning super.
tendents of the company's oper-
ating divisions meet at head

lens"
This morning there was only
one problem, getting approx
mately TOO "swing-run" bus
and streetcar operators back To

explained that In a. normal "a.

On Traffic

During the first hours OF to-

of area-wide coordination
aimed at avoiding massive
traffic jams during snowstorms
The program was worked out
just last Tuesday when District
Engineer Commissioner Fred

ban community leaders to dis
cuss the problem.
Several long-range programs
were brought up for study. but
one prompt communication
between jurisdictions-was put
into effect this morning.
At $50, when the decision
was made to release Govern
ment employees a halliday
early. District officials imme-
diately notified the highway
departments in nearby Mary
land and Virginia communities.
Maryland Notified
Among the offices notified
were the Maryland State Roads
Commission maintenance ga
rage at Laurel, where an Off
cial said he was grateful for
the information.
I'VE can be braced for a
storm when we receive such
cooperation from the District, "
an official there said.
Also notified was John H.

miniStrator for Prince Georges

Carlton C. Massey, Fairfax
County Executive, said the Dis
trict advised him of emergency
planning shortly before 10 a I'm.

Of the land area. The total
taxable assessed valuation OF
the land and improvements in

mated $3S6.7 million. This
would mean more tax dollars

Probably no San Francis

is no point in getting too far
