PARIS

L14O4Os
OF President Kennedy's
two meetings this week, his
encounter with Khrushchev
in Vienna may seem the most
dramatic and crucial. And
yet his visit with Gen. de
Gaulle which begins here
Wednesday is certainly no
less of an intellectual chal-
lenge and perhaps no less
important in the long run.
Neither meeting can be
accurately described as a
routine social occasion pro-
viding an opportunity for
leaders to get acquainted.
Both can have critical effect
on decisions to come. In
France and Gen. de Gaulle,
Mr.. Kennedy will discover
attitudes and preoccupations
that pose very real problems
for his administration and
demand perhaps considerable
readjustment of his own
thinking.
Public climate for his visit
is something less than ideal.
He can rely. of course, on the
natural cordiality and enthu-
siasm of his hosts to insure
success Of the more formal
and ceremonial part of the
show. But he may also sense
at moments a slightly dis
tracted mood of the French
people, who are still deeply
concentrated on their own
problems and who, since
their recent shattering in
ternal crisis, have not yet
wholly recovered from their
feeling Of shock.
Security Question
Uneasiness of this climate
has given rise to some con-
cern-probably exaggerated
for the Presidents own Sc
curity during his stay in
Paris. A mood of violence is
still in the air in Paris. Even
without the presence of i'm
portant official visitors there
are many more police in the
city than would be called for
in normal times. Each morn
ing newspapers carry stories
of new explosions of plastic
bombs planted for purposes of
sabotage or assassination
which are now almost a rou-
tine feature of life in France
as well as in Algeria.
The mood, Furthermore,
has had a particularly anti
American tinge to 1t. Indig-
nation aroused by fictitious
charges that Am erican
agents" were behind the
revolt Of French generals in
Algeria last month has now
subsided somewhat. But dip
lomatS still rate a wave of
more or less officially in
Spired anti-American feeling
here as more serious than
anything since bitter debates
over the European defense
community. Significantly the
trial Of two captured leaders
of the abortive rebellion
eX-GenS. Maurice Challe and
Andre Zeller-coincide ex-
actly with Mr., Kennedy's
visit here despite discreet Sug-
gestions from the American
side that it might better be
postponed a few days.
For the time being, at least,
public interest in the lmpend-
ing presidential visit seems
unusually low. The big story
in Paris today is still progress
or lack of it-being made in
the peace talks with Algerian
nationalist leaders being held
at EVian, Lake Geneva.
For the average Frenchman,
the outcome of these negotia-
tionS has far more personal
and vital meaning than any,
thing that two leaders may
say to each other in the
course of the Presidents stay.
Apart from the public cli-
mate (which may improve
in the next few days." the
French government has a
number of special preoccu-
pations Of its own these days.

Durham Rule Chonqe
Hit as Unnecessary
THE SUNDAY STAR
Washington, D. c., June 4, 1861

A top staff member of st.
Elizabeths Hospital yesterday
criticized the House District
Committees bill to modify the
Durham rule as unnecessary. "
The bill, which would add new
language to the Districts law on
insanity, "only confuse the issue
more" said DIR. David ]. Owens
in a television interview.
DR.. Owens, chief of the men
tai hospitals maximum security
section, appeared on WTOP'S
"City Side" program.
He said the House bill, known
as the Davis bill, apparently was
designed to tighten up" the
Durham rule so fewer defend
ants would be acquitted because
of insanity.
Requires Acquittal
The Durham Rule, adopted
by the United States Court Of
Appeals in 1854, requires ac-
quittal because Of insanity in
cases where a defendants al
legged crime was caused by a
mental disease or defect.
The House bill would require
that a mental illness. to justify

Cable CurCrush
Kills Four Men
At Mexico Resort

MONTERREY, Mexico, June
3 (AP).-Four persons died last
night when a car of newly
built mountain cable system
struck a tower and threw the
victims into a 60-foot canyon.
The accident marooned
about 500 persons atop Saddle
Mountain, the largest in tn e
area
Rescue parties worked all
night leading the 500 down an
other side of the mountain
which has an easier descent.
The 500 were atop the noun
tain to celebrate completion of
the 2,100-foot cable system
built as a tourist attraction.
1t was to be officially opened
July Z by Mexican President
Adolfo Lopez MateoS.
Witnesses said the four VIC
Tins were descending when the
car became entangled in tele-
phone lines. leaped the cable
and crashed into one of several
towers along the route. The
men plunged into the canyon.
The system has So cars, each
carrying four persons.
One of those killed was the
designer Alberto R. Roccatti
employed by the Applet -Barch
Co. of Paris. Another was
Jesus Fernandez Guerra, head
of the firm that constructed
the cable system.
The other two were Cesar
Augusta Leal and Angel Rod

to lack substantial capacity to
know or appreciate the wrong
fullness of his conduct.
DR.. Owens noted the Durham
Rule, which replaced a CEN
turies-old insanity test based
on an awareneSs of right and
wrong, allows a psychiatrist
latitude to describe a persons
mental condition.
In answer to other questions,
DR.. Owens said greater evidence
of mental illness should be re-
quired than is now the case
before a defendant is acquit-
ted because of insanity.
DR.. Owens said some sub
stantial evidence" should be
shown. In several cases, he
said, people have been judged
insane after only "meager" evi-
dence of mental illness.
Must Be Committed
Under the Districts manda-
tory commitment law, persons
acquitted because of insanity
must be committed to a mental
hospital until pSychiatristS de-
eide they are no longer danger
GUS.
The House bill, while not
approaching this matter in
quite the same way, would
place on the defense the bur-
den of proving a defendant to
be suffering from a mental
disease or defect.
DR.. Owens agreed that some
defendants who are acquitted
of more serious crimes. such as
murder, feel much relieved"
at finding themselves in a hos
pital.
He said, however, that he
thought it would be ''impos-
Sible' for a person to fake"

Walker Report
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy on his
return from Europe this week
will assess a report on an in
vestigation of Maj. Gen. Edwin
A. Walker, suspended from
command of a United States
Army division in Germany.
The inquiry, asked for by
the President, grew out of a
claim by the privately owned
publication Overseas Weekly
that Gen. Walker had made
available to troops of his oath
Infantry Division pamphlets of
the John Birch Society.
In addition to claiming that
material of the militantly con-
servative society had been re-
printed in the divisions news
paper, Overseas Weekly said
