THIS WOULD CALL for an
extraordinary operation,
burning coal to pump water
uphill. But this is an ex-
traordinary period. Perhaps
some good will come of the
bomb scare. Just think of
the mountain lake, crystal
clear and cool, with an ele-
walton of TOO feet, not much
more than 80 miles from
Washington.
The other day an imagi-
native engineer stopped by
and brought with him a re-
lief map of Sugar Loaf, show
ing its 1,250-foot elevation
and the natural basin formed
by its shoulder and spurs.
His name is William L.
Drevo. He is a jolly, plump
man whose long dark hair is
combed straight back from a
broad brow.
He was born in Bohemia
(the Czech part of Czecho-
Slovakia) Sc years ago. He
arrived in Baltimore on a
North German Lloyd liner SIS
years ago. He was accom-
panied by his parents.
Perhaps his European birth
has something to do with his
nonconformity. He doesn't
hesitate about recommend
ing a radical change in
regional geography.
you'll lind this very con-
troversial," he said. THE
Corps of Engineers, United

The idea occurred to him
several years ago when the
Army Engineers recommen-
dalton of a high-level dam
at River Bend for Washing
tons future water supply
was being debated.
That was way back in the
days of the uranium bomb,
before the first hydrogen
bomb, to say nothing of the
improved models or so or
100 megatons.

BY DANA BULLEN
Star Staff Writer

A lawyer for a woman sent
to st. Elizabeths Hospital has
told District Court she would
have received more humane
treatment at ANY Fedora,
penitentiary."
The woman, a 33-year-o &
former Government secretary
was committed to the menta
hospital in January after 8
Municipal Court trial on g
public intoxication charge.
She tried to plead guilty, but
was found not guilty because
of insanity after a psychiatrist
testified over her objection that
she was a victim of pSychoneu-
rosis and alcoholism.
Under the Districts manda-
tory commitment law, a per-
son who is found not guilty
because of insanity in q
criminal case must be COM
mitted to mental hospital
until recovered.
Attorney Richard Arens last
week filed a request with the
court for a hearing on the
legality of the woman's deten-
ton. In it, he alleged that St
Elizabeths lacks facilities tc
treat her.
Competent for Trial
The detention, Mr.. ArenS
said, was illegal because the
woman was forced to accept
an involuntary insanity de-
Tense despite the fact she hac
been ruled mentally competent
to stand trial.
The same point is involved
in the case of Frederick C
Lynch, in which the Court Of
Appeals here upheld a judges
refusal of a guilty plea. That
case is now before the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. ArenS, who also represents
Lynch, stated that the woman
in this case, who he said i;
a doctors daughter and ha:
attended college, has not beer
afforded adequate living OF
treatment facilities" at st
Elizabeths Hospital.
The lawyer said that while
the woman had faced only q
90-day sentence on the intoXi-
cation charge, she now faces
confinement at st. Elizabeths
under the mandatory COM
mitment law which might eX-
tend for the rest of her nat
ural life"

N Dues Needed
For New Equipment

Television owners are remind
ed that their annual dues are
now payable and the money is
badly needed to pay for new
equipment now being purchased
to repair and replace the Hector
on Houseman hill.
The new equipment has been
bought, paid for and installed for
the reception of KFBB-TV, Great
Falls and is presently being ad-
justed for proper reception. How
ever, since the big wind storm
of several weeks ago broke the
Houseman hill tower, it is neceS-
sary to replace much of the
equipment in order to bring in
Lethbridge to this area.
Bill Bercovich, secretary, says
that if we are to have good re-
ception in this area from both
stations, dues must be paid at
once to cover the expenses.
