Insanity Case
Practice Here
Under Attack
Easy Committing
Possibility Cited
To Senate Unit
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star staff Writer

A man can be confined for
life in a mental institution
merely through a parking vio-
lation in the District, a Wash
ington attorney says.
This can be done without
court determination that he is
socially dangerous or even in
need of psychiatric treatment,
according to Richard ArenS,
representing the American Civil
Liberties Union. He addressed
the Senate Constitutional Rights
Subcommittee investigating pa
tientS in mental hospitals in
testimony prepared for today.
Mr.. Arens said such a COM
mitment may be made by any
Municipal Court judge ruling
on a defendants competency to
stand trial for even a traffic
violation.
Many states, Mr.. Arens de-
clared, require a court or jury
determination of present social
dangers as q condition Of COM
mitment to a mental hospital
after an acquittal by reason Of
insanity.
Not In District
The District, he said, does
not but there is no good rea-
son why the same should not
be required in the District"
In many criminal cases here,
he continued, "the roles Of the
defense and the prosecution
were turned topsy turvy. In
stead Of the defendant present.
ing evidence that he was not
guilty by reason of insanity. the
prosecution did so.
"On this evidence the court
entered a judgment of acquittal
by reason Of insanity and or
dered the defendant committed
to a mental hospital until such
time he was certified as no
longer mentally i'll ="
Commenting on the charges
by Mr.. Arens, Milton Norman,
principal assistant Corporation
Counsel for the District, said
later that in theory these might
be possible but that in practice
such things could never really
happen.
1t might be, he said. that a
severe mental condition would
be noticed by . Judge when q
defendant appears in court on
q parking charge. In that case,
he said. it would be best for the
defendant to receive treatment.
Brings Guilty Pleas
And. he added, after Congress
passed q law saying that per-
sons acquitted for reasons of
insanity in the District must 90
to st. Elizabeths Hospital, some
defense attorneys began plead
ing their clients guilty. The
theory behind this, he said, was
the Jail sentence might be less
than the length Of stay In the
hospital.
Another Washington attor-
ney, Charles w. Halleck, yester-
day called the commitment pro-
cedures Mr.. Arens is concerned
about as a mess in Washing
ton."
He proposed that Congress
limit the amount Of time a
defendant can be kept in the
mental institution before the
Government must undertake
civil commitment proceedings.
A third Washington attorney
Hugh ]. MCGEE. praised the
present civil commitment pro-
cedure in the District, saying
that only in a few areas Of the
country are the constitutional
rights Of the individual so well
protected.

ASKED WHAT antitrust
means to the consumer, he
was quick to avoid that pit
fall-although none was in
tended.
"The price on the market
place is influenced by so
many pressures that it would
be foolish to say that un-
fettered competition would
mean lower prices over an
extended period.
"But competition means
freedom.
Imagine where our very
important industry, the man
ufacture Of automobiles,
would be today, If it had not
been. for the competition of
sm all foreign cars. Our
smallest Ford would be larg-
er than our Cadillacs."
He waxed a bit eloquent
when asked about the Ian
guage of the Sherman Anti
Trust Act forbidding COM
binations Gin restraint Of
trade"
I've written a great deal
about this" he said. THE
Idea Of the antitrust law is
as old as the English Com
mon Law.
Blackstone, in his Com
mentaries,' which were pub
lished in the late 1760s, noted
that those who were injured
by monopolistic practices
could sue for triple damages.
"A d. m Smith in his
Wealth Of Nations publish
ed in 1776, the same year as
our Declaration of indie
pendence, advocated free =
dom of trade.
"Our Boston Tea Party
was a protest against the
English monopoly Of the tea
trade.
"You see in the old days
monopolies did not develop
from the aggrandizement of
an able entrepreneur.
ut was a right granted by
the crown.
"The 18th century world
was up in arms against 1t.
Our revolution was as much
economic as political. The
patriots were used to mon
archy; did not question the
kings right to rule. But they
wanted economic freedom.

began last fall when the play,

Franche, was selected and the
campaign to sell the advertising
in the play book was mapped out.
Since School regulations require
that all these activities be done

New Fertilizer
Recommendations
Now Off Press

The recent spell of spring-like
weather puts young boys to think
ing about baseball and fishing,
and young girls to thinking about
June weddings. But farmers and
County Agent George Vapaa are
thinking about fertilizer, new seed
and the like.
In fact, Mr.. Vapaa has a new
publication on fertilizer recon-
mendations and a stack of folders
giving detailed information on pro-
duction of small grains, soybeans
and certified seed, as we'll as the
latest chemical weed control rec
concentrations. All the folders have
been revised and brOutht up to date
as a result of new research studies
on varieties, fertiliZations, chemi-
Gals, etc.
If you are one of those people
more interested in crops then base
ball or weddings, call the county
agent at REdfield 6-1448 or stop
at the Dover postoffice and pick
up all the latest information on
crop production.
To really do a good job. take
some soil samples in to the a
gents office so you can get the
results back before planting time.
Lime and fertilizer recommends
tions will be made at the Univer-
sity of Delaware by agronomy
specialists on the basis of the lab

samples. The hyou won't be guess

Lime Helps
Fertilizer Work

If soils are too acid, limestone
will help plant nutrients do a bet
ter job of producing crops. reports
County Agent George Vapaa.
He points out that the use OF
lime encourages the use of fertili-
ger. Crops show a better response
TO nutrients. with the result that
yields are higher.
These larger yields pull more
nutrients out of the SOIL" the agent
adds This means that more. ra-
ther than less. fertilizer will be
required in the soil management
program"
Here are some of the benefits
from lining. according TO Mr. Va
paa:
]. Lime, where needed, help s
promote the growth and develop
ment of soil microbes. These mic
robes convert organic nitrogen TO
the nitrate form which crops can
readily use.
2. Lining adds calcium and
magnesium to the soil. II also
helps prevent the accumulation of
toxic amounts of aluminium. iron
and manganese.
3. Lime helps keep fertilizer
phosphate available to crops for
a longer period.
4. 1t improves soil structure by
promoting q granular, crub-l e
soil structure. Such a soil soaks
up more water and allows air to
move in and out more freely. II
also provides ''leg-room" for crop
roots.
5. Lime helps assure the growth
! and vigor of alfalfa and other leg
umes.
