Hiqh Court Hears Plea
In 1853 D. c. Staying

Mr.. Carey argued that
Stewart had exercised his con-
stitutional right to stay off the
stand in the earlier trials. He
said it was a violation Of that
right when he took the stand
at the third trial and the jury
was reminded that he had not
testified in his own defense
earlier.
Durham Rule Cited
He said 1t was prejudicial be-
cause the jury might have as
Sumed the same defense In all
three trials. which was not the
case. He pointed out that the
Durham rule, on which he
pinned his later defense. had
not come down at the time of
the first trial. Under the Dur
ham rule, a person can not be
held criminally responsible If
his crime was q product Of q
disease or q mental
defect.
The justices questioned both
attorneys closely on Stewards
defense of the crime. Mr..
Carey said 1t was almost ex-
clusively an insanity defense
although other witnesses were
croSS-examined. Mr.. Belcher
noted that the Court of Appeals
even in reversing the earlier
cases had left no doubt that
Stewart had committed the
crime.

JobIess Aid Bill Work

The House Ways and Means
COMMITTEES planned to work
through the dry today to per-
feet President Kennedy's pro-
posal for emergency aid to
families of unemployed Amer.
leans.
Cash relief would go to an
estimated 3 million johless who
have now or win have by April,
1852, exhausted unemployment
compensation benefits. as well
as aid to dependent children
Of unemployed parents.
Unemployment compensation
increases would be covered by
added contributions from en-
ployerS in all States and the
District. The Social Security
Act would be expanded for the
aid to dependent children.
The District, should Com
inissionerS agree, could parti-
cipate in both programs.
At the same time, the Com
missioners were under pressure
from Senator Morse, Demo.
crat Of Oregon. to ask for q
special appropriation to start
welfare payments to unem-
ployed who are able to work
but can't find jobs and have
exhausted their jobless benefits.
The Morse idea is for the
Commissioners to initiate relief
for the unemployed through
the Welfare Department. Bene-
ficiaries probably would be the
same families slated for aid
under the Kennedy plan for
helping dependent children.
Representative Mills, Demo-
crat Of Arkansas. chairman Of
the Ways and Means Commit
tee. said he hoped after a
morning session that his men,
bers could put together legisla-
ton by the end Of the day.
President Kennedy asked that
unemployed workers whose
compensation has run out re-
ceive up to half Of their regular
unemployment compensation
for UP to 80 weeks. He sug-
gested increasing from $4,000
to $4,000 the wage base on
which employers pay the Fed
eral Government q percentage
rate to cover administering
compensation programs.
The aid-to-dependent-chil-
dren proposal would enable

After eight years in the
courts and three trials, the first
degree murder case Of Willie
Lee Stewart finally reached
the Supreme Court for argu-
ment yesterday.
Stewart has been sentenced
to death for the 1853 killing Of
Harry Honikman during a
holdup Of the Honikman gro
cery in the TOO block Of East
Capitol street.
The first two verdicts were
set aside by the Court Of APP

The third problem presented
to the Supreme Court is wheth-
er Stewart. on the witness

have been asked If he took the
stand in his two earlier trials.
Prejudice Argued
Stewards court . appointed
counsel, Edward L. Carey. ar
gued that the question preju-
diced the jury and that the
court made a mistake in not
granting a miStrial because OF

Representing the Government
Assistant United States Attor-

that the question was merely q

Tornado Adds

Rain Troubles
By the Assoeiated Press

Weather-weary Alabama abb
sorbed o small tornado thiS
morning then faced q day Of
severe windstorm warnings and
more rain.
The tornado, struck, twice In
Tuscaloosa, knocking down
trees and damaging property
in the Northington School
area and the plush Highlands
area. No serious injuries were
reported.
Meantime, the rain continued
over much Of the State for the
sixth straight day, giving an
additional push to rising waters
that already have forced many
families out Of their homes.
The Alabama Highway De-
partment said the high water
forced q halt in traffic on six
highways.
Families Flee Homes
The Red Cross estimated that
nearly 1000 persons were dis
placed by high water In JEFF
ferson (Birminghavnl County
last night. About 100 families
fled the rising water at JGads-
den and an uncounted number
were evacuated near Tuscaloosa,
A few excavations were re-
ported near Montgomery.
While the flooding has been
prevalent over much Of the
Southeast. only one death has
been reported-a drowning in
Louisiana. Eight persons were
injured when q tornado whirled
through Angie, La, early yes
terday. It destroyed two houses
and q high school. but none Of
the 535 students had arrived
for classes when the twister
struck.
Another tornado, spawned
from rain-bearing, slowly
moving low pressure areas ad-
vancing from the Gulf or Mex
leo. hit Sumrail, Miss. last
night. 1t caused $4,000 damage
to an auto repair shop. but no
one was injured.
Mere Excavations Due
A number Of families left
their houses in low-lying areas
Of Mississippi last night and
the State adjutant general, w.
P. Wilson, said the National
Guard Is ready for further
excavations today. principally
in Hattiesburg. where the Leaf
and Bowie Rivers are expected
to flood much Of the city.
WaiSt-deep water ran through
the business section of Cleve-
land. Miss. and much Of Co
lumbia, in Southern Mississippi
was reported under water.
The Weather Bureau said the
rains will continue, increasing
the worries Of those living in
low-lying areas Of Alabama
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi
and, to a lesser extent, the
Carolinas and Tennessee.

@Right after the election. the
CSC compiled for the White
House all the 1900 existing po-
litical schedule c jobs, how
many were filled. how many
we're vacant. the names Of
present incumbents. etc.
However, that was several

With thousands Of applications
from the Democratic faithful
for top jobs. apparently wants
to make sure that all possible
Political schedule C jobs are
fffled with persons Of their
own choice and own political
perSuaSions.
There are about 1900 polit-
ica1 schedule c jobs which
were established during the
Eisenhower administration for
p0Acy-making and confiden-
tial-type positions.
Only about $50 Of these jobs
were filled. which left about
$50 available for immediate
use by the Kennedy admins
tration when it took office. OF
the $50 jobs that were occu-
pied, the Kennedy team intends
to oust most Of the incumbentS
and replace them with their
own choices and already has
done so in numerous cases.
The Kennedy administration
also wants to make sure that
when agencies present their
budget requests to Congress,
they will include these sched-
ule C jobs in their budgets so
that the necessary money to
pay the salaries for these posi-
tions win be forthcoming from
Capitol Hill.
The CSC completed its up-to-
date survey for the White
House within q few days and
the information was sent over
there by last Friday.
The administration h "a
asked for only 81 new political
