OverhoIser to Retire
From St. EIizobeths
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
star staff Writer

After this Thursday, st.
Elizabeths Hospital just won't
seem the same.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, su-
perintendent of the mental in
stitution, retires that day. And
rs years Of controversy. blunt
advice and vigorous action
that once nearly jailed him
will end.
DR.. Overholser, at 10, is still
the kind of man who once ad-
vised nervous girls to stay
clear Of man-short wartime
Washington.
A student Of the laws related
to insanity, he's still as ready
to leap neck-deep into a de-
bate Of the Durham rule that
liberalized the insanity de-
fense. And, of course, he's still
on the side of the rule.
Contempt Charged
His own brush with the law
came just four years ago. With
the Federal mental hospitals
maximum security building
crowded and men waiting In
jail to be taken to the hospital,
Federal Judge Alexander Holtz-
off ordered two more prisoners
admitted.
DR.. Overholser failed to do
80 Immediately, saying they
should wait until the other
waiting persons could be ad-
mitted. This prompted the
judge to instruct the United
States attorney to initiate con-
tempt of court charges against
DR.. Overholser.
Jail was avoided when DR..
Overholser yielded. But he
didn't miss the opportunity to
suggest the judges jumping of
two prisoners over the others
was unfair.
Best known by the layman
for his plain talk, DR.. Over
holser is known among other
psychiatrists for his leader
ship at st. Elizabeths.
Innovations Introduced
His years at the mental in
stitution have seen new psychi-
atric treatments burst onto the
cene-insulin therapy, electro
shock therapy. tranquilizers,
group therapy. recreational
and occupational therapy. psy-
chodrama and narcoanalysis, !
