session of ebout one-third of
the country. 1t is in the sense
of increased military power and
extensive territorial control
that the situation is beginning
to go against American aims.
1t has gone badly in another
respect. A regime has been
established Mt Xieng Khouang
in the name of former neutral
iSt Premier Souvanna Phouma.
Prince Phouma is regarded
here as a neutraliSt rather than
a Communist, but he is bitter
against the United States on
the ground that it did not
support his government when
he vas Premier late last year.
Prince Phouma's identifica-
ton with the regime set up in
rebel territory gives that regime
considerable prestige since he
is widely regarded outside Laos
as perhaps the only man ca
pable of unifying the country.
Efforts were recently made to
persuade Prince Phouma to
join the Boun Oum govern
ment. He is reported to have
told the Western powers that
he would not take part IN any
government unless 1T also in
cluded representation for the
Communist oriented Pathet =
Lao.
Other political moves either
originated or supported by
Washington have failed. Rus
sia turned down a proposal to
re-establish an international
control commission over Laos
unless it was preceded by an
international conference.
Arms Race Possible
Com munist governments
have also rebuffed a proposal
from King Savang Vathana for
creation of a three-nation neu-
trail commission to investigate
conditions in Laos and make
proposals for a settlement.
A grave problem is the dam
ger of a United States-Soviet
arms race in Laos. If the
Soviet arms buildup continues
to the point where the military
balance is seriously threatened,
some officials here believe the
United States will have to go
in for heavy military aid to
the Boun Oum government. If
that process continued on each
side the fear is that it would
lead to broadening the war very
considerably.
The United States to date
has resisted Communist efforts
to call an international con-
ference on the problem. Of
ficials now appear to be back
ing away from the position, but
they are still reluctant to con-
slider going into a conference
when conditions in Laos would
put the Western powers in
bargaining stance from the
outset.

Conditional
ReIeaseGiiven
ToDurIam

Monte w. Durham. after
whom the Districts criminal
insanity test is named, was
given a conditional release
from st. Elizabeths Hospital
yesterday. 4
The release was granted BY
District Court Judge Luther w.
Youngdahl on the recommen-
dation of the hospital after a
hospital pSychiatrist testified
at a hearing yesterday that
Durham will not be a danger
to society or himself.
Durham was sent to the hos
pital after a District Court
judge ruled in September, 1858,
that he was not guilty, by rea-
son of insanity, of a robbery
charged to him.
To Live at Hospital
Under the terms of the re-
lease, Durham, 80, will be per-
mitted to seek a job. but must
live at the hospital while work
ing, at least until April IA. He
also will be allowed to visit his
wife one day out of every week
end, but Judge Youngdahl said
that he wants to review the
case in April to see whether
Durham will be permitted fur
ther privileges.
DurhamS prospects for a
conditional release had seemed
bright last May 19 when the
hospital superintendent, DR..
Winfred Overholser, recon-
mended such a step.
However, Durham walked out
of the hospital May % without
permission and DR.. Overholser
asked that the release recon-
mendations be Cancelled.
"ElOped" Several Times
Today. DR.. Steven Klinger
told the judge that Durham
had "eloped" from the hospital
several times, as late as last
October. but added that Dur
ham has been trying with
everything he's got to help
himself" since that time.
The Districts Durham" test
for criminal insanity grew out
of &, housebreaking and larceny
case. Durham was twice con-
victed, but each time the con-
viction was set aside by the
United States Court of Appeals.
In one of the opinions in 1854,
reversing the conviction, the
appellate court held that a de-
fendant in criminal case must
be acquitted by reason Of in
sanity when his crime is COM
mitted because he was suffering
from a mental disease or defect.

Durham insanity Rule
Criticized by Judge

JurleS and that a medical def
nitlon has not even been settled
by psychiatrists.
The term product" used IN
the Durham rule, he added, "is
not used in relation to ordinary
matters or subjects familiar to
laymen or indeed even to
judges" 1t is a spurious term
neither wholly legal nor wholly
medical" Judge Burger said.
He also criticized allowing
psychiatristS to testify in such
terms when this concerns the
ultimate issue to be decided by
juries. This, in effect, lets pSy-
chiatriSts tell the jury how to
decide" the case, the judge said
He recalled that three other
Federal appellate courts. the
United States Court # Military
Appeals and The highest courts
Of 20 States have refused to
adopt the Durham insanity test
without Real Meaning
But this fact by itself does
not make the Durham lule un-
sound; it was rejected because
it was stated in terms unfa-
miliar and without real mean
ing to lay jurors and to judges, y
the juriSt said.
He suggested that any legal
insanity test, to be adequate
must place Squarely before the
jury the elements Of cognition
and capacity to control be-
havior."
He conceded that this in
cludeS the assumption that
man has free will a scien-
tifically unproyable aSsump-
ton"
But he said that until a
firm alternative is available, u
society and the law must pro-
ceed on this assumption. The
standard of criminal response
bility, Judge Burger explained
lis the laws expression of COL
lective morality"
Suggests a New instruction
Judge Burger, offering a sub
stitute for the Durham rule,
suggested a new legal instruc-
tion to a Jury before it decides
its verdict in cases where an
insanity defense has been Of
fered.
This would require a verdict
Of not guilty as charged unless
it is shown beyond a reasonable
doubt: l. the defendant un-
derstood and appreciated at
the time of the offense that
his crime was a violation of
the law; 2. he had the capa-
city to exercise his will and
to choose not to commit the
crime.
IF because of some abnormal
mental condition, either of
these elements is lacking, he
cannot be found guilty" Judge
Burger said.
He recalled that there are
several alternatives that have
been offered in the past, sug-
gesting that one or a combi-
nation of them must sooner
or later supplant the Durham
rule"

Weger Gets Life Sentence
For Starved Rock Murder

VI 1 AVA, ILL., MAI. 4 (APD.
"A Circuit Court jury has
found Chester (Rocky) Weger
guilty of one of the Starved
Rock State Park murders and
imposed life imprisonment as
his punishment.
The verdict was announced
at 3:43 pm. yesterday.
Weger, who had been con-
fident he would be acquitted,
took the decision calmly. He
sat with hands folded in his
lap, his head tilted and face
expresSionless.
Later. he told newSmen, "I
know I was framed. want
to appeal all the way"
Escaped Death Penalty
Weger could have been sent
to the electric chair, as the
State demanded, for the mur-
der Of Mrs. Lillian Getting, SO,
last March IA. Still pending
are indictments charging him
with numbering Mrs. Oetting's
two hiking companions, Mrs.
Frances Murphy, 47, and Mrs.
Mildred Lindquist, so.
The defense attorney. John
A. Mcnamara made an imme-
diate motion for a stay of SEN
tence until March 81, which
was accepted byIthe court. He
termed this a routine move to
guard Weger's right to appeal.
States Atty. Robert E. Rich
ardson declined to say whether
he planned to prosecute the
two other murder indictments
against Weger.
The ballot finding Weger
guilty was taken at 1:30 pm.
yesterday, few minutes after
the jurors reaSSembled after a
luncheon break.
Mrs. Nancy A. Porter, 81, of
Peru, one of the jurors for the
five-week trial, commented:
THE confession was in.
That's what did it. The con-
fession was the big thing"
She referred to statements
taken from Weger last Novem-
Der in which he admitted beat
ing the women to death with a
tree limb during a robbery at
tempt. He later repudiated the
confessions, saying they were
obtained under duress.
Judge Leonard Hoffman, in
charging the jury, said it
could free Weger. send him to
prison or condemn him to the
electric chair.
The trial was limited to the
charge of numbering Mrs.
Getting. wife CD George Oct
ting, general supervisor Of in
ternal audits for the Illinois
Bell Telephone Co.
|. Mr.. Getting said the verdict
would be considered inadequate
"by some people with my emo
tional involvement"
Slain in Canyon
The three women, neiehbors
in the fashionable Chicago,
suburb of Riverside. drove the
81 miles northwest to the park
for a brief holiday. They were
slain while exploring st. Louis
Canyon. a steep-walled dead
end gorge, 2 miles from the
lodge where Weger worked as
a dishwasher. Their bodies were
found two days later.
\ Weger, a wiry woodsman, is
married and the father of two
children aged 2 and l. His
19-year-old wife, 10 Ann,
brought the children to some
of the court sessions.
Weger served Briefly in the
Marine Corps but was dis
charged in 1857 when a medical
board decided he was upset
emotionally by worries about
his wife.

Maryland finished the season

Star Staff Writer

A judge of the United States
Court of Appeals says the Dis
trict's Durham rule on criminal
insanity is a wrong step but
in the right direction"
Judge Warren E. Burger, sug-
gesting an alternative insanity
test, gave his views as the ap-
pellate court issued a delayed
opinion yesterday, giving rea-
sons why it reversed Conner
Blocker'S second conviction on
a first-degree murder charge
Blocker. So. was convicted in
1857 and again last April in the
shotgun shooting of his COM
mon law wife, Frances B. Hall
43. in her apartment in the
2200 block Of Seventeenth street
NV. in April, 1857. Both times
he was given the mandatory
death sentence.
Pleads Mental Defect
The first conviction was de-
cided on by a District Court
jury, after Blocker-relying on
the Durham rule-had pleaded
he was suffering from mental
disease or defect which caused
him to commit the crime.
But this conviction was re-
versed by the appellate court to
allow new medical evidence to
be introduced at a second trial
Despite this new evidence
Blocker again was convicted by
a jury last April. The appellate
court reversed this conviction
last December l3. supplying its
reasons yesterday.
The majority said the trial
Judge confused the jury in his
legal instructions. They said
he twice instructed the jurors
properly, telling them the
prosecution had to prove be
yond a reasonable doubt" that
Blocker was sane at the time
Of the crime.
However. the majority added
that at another point the judge
improperly created the impress
sion that the defense had to
prove insanity, rather than just
having to introduce some evil
dence" of insanity.
Called UnwOrkable
Six judges of the appellate
court went along with this
reasoning. Judge Burger agreed
that the conviction should be
reversed, but he suggested that
this case was an example of the
unworkability of the Durham
rule.
Chief Judge Wilbur K. Miller
and Walter M. Bastian dis
sented outright from the deci-
sion to reverse the Blocker con-
viction.
Judge Burger charged that
the Durham rule, adopted by
the appellate court IN 1854,
tends to treat unsupported
and dubious pSychiatric theory
as scientific knowledge"

used in the rule is vague to

three first-place cups gained in
competitive parades during 1860.
The Filipino Youth Activities of
Seattle's celebrated team is the
only Filipino-American drill squad
in the nation.
The original Remember girls
squad has been enlarged to %.
The newer team members have
already received their baptism of
fire" this year with appearances
in the Puyallup Valley Daffodil
Festival, the Seattle Memorial
Day and the Portland Rose Fes-
tival Grand Floral parades.
Neither their glamour, color
nor uniqueness have been lost
since the Princesas first thrilled
parade enthusiasts i'm 1859. In
both the Daffodil and Rose Fes-
tival parades, the Princesas were
warmly received by hundreds of
thousands witnessing the celebra-
tons in Tacoma, PuyaIIup and
Portland.
Recognition for Filipino-Ameri-
cans everywhere have been made
with television cameras grinding
away, and press and other photog-
raphers shooting a favorite sub
ject - the FYA drill team.
And the Princesas' unusual re-
pertoire gets more unconventional
all the time. The most significant
of the innovations has been the
FYA Cumbanchero PercussiOneers.
Most of the English orders have
been scrapped and replaced with
Pinoy or Spanish commands. ST.
lent drill formations combine
from three to six movements into
one snappy maneuver.
But the cha cha and other Off

the Princesas - remain for the
wonderment and entertainment of
spectators everywhere.
Ranging in age from II to IS,
the Princesas can be recognized
by their red blouses, black pants
and flowing white saris, all of
which accentuate the Moro cul-
ture.
The costumes were made pos
sible through the generosity of
many Seattle Pinoy organizations.
And as before, the Princessas
use bamboo poles to tap out their
cadences.
