ROSLYN, N. Y. Aug. 8 (AP) .
Everything's ducky in this Long
Island village, thanks to Beth
Abrams.
Beth is a third-grader who
took to heart these unofficial
lyrics of a John Philip Sousa
marching tune:
"Be kind to your web-footed
friends, for a duck may be
somebody's mother"
Beth took pity on the ducks
in the Roslyn Park pond which
were making daily trips across
the road and getting killed or
injured by cars.
She decided to do something
about it.
She went to her father
workshed, borrowed a piece OF
wood and painted a sign read
ing: "Wach out for ducks"
Her brother, Bruce, IA, cor
rected the spelling to watch
and tackled the sign up on a
telephone pole in front Of their
home on Main street.

A District Court judge toda,
gave Monte w. Durham, who's
name has been given to thu
Districts criminal insanity test
an unconditional release from
st. Elizabeths Hospital.
The ruling of Judge Edward
A. Tamm brought a smile to
the lips of the 34-year-old Dur
ham, whose release came al
most four years after he was
committed to the hospital.
The judges order releasing
Durham from the hospital came
after testimony from DR.. Win
fred Overholser, superintendent
of the Hospital. and DR.. Stephen
Klinger, a staff pSychiatrist at
st. Elizabeths, who were put on
the stand by Durham's attor-
ney, Mrs. Jean Dwyer.
Durham was sent to the hos
pital in September, 1858, after
being found not guilty by rea-
son of insanity of a robbery
charge.
Since that time, DR.. Klinger
testified, Durham has "eloped"
from the hospital grounds
eight times. always returning
on his own and usually after
having had a few drinks.
Gets Anti-Drink Drug
However, both DR.. Klinger
and DR.. Overholser said that
Durham had shown marked
improvement. They noted that
at his own request he had been
given in recent months a drug
which causes pronounced sick
ness as a result of drinking
alcohol.
But DR.. Overholser said that
the patient had not been using
this drug for about a month
and had managed to stay away
from drinking.

the hospital while working of
the grounds.
However, he was sent bacl
to the hospital about a month
later when he violated the con.
ditions of his release.
Believed Not Dangerous
DR.. Overholser and DR.. Kiln
ger said they believed that
Durham, on his release. would
not be dangerous to himself
or others.
DR.. Klinger said that even
during the times when Dur
ham left the hospital grounds
without permission. Durham
had not committed any crime
or gotten into any difficulty
with the law.
The so-called Durham Rule
adopted by the United States
Court Of Appeals here in 1854
says that persons who commit
a crime because they are suf-
feling from mental disease or
defect should be found not
guilty by reason of insanity.
This rule of law was adopted
when the appellate court re-
versed Durham's earlier con-
viction in a HOUSEKEEPING case
However, following the appel
late court reversal of this con-
viction Durham pleaded to a
lesser charge and was SEN
fenced to a years prison term.
Therefore, it was not until
the second case, involving the
1883 robbery of a man in a
Washington tavern, that Dur
ham was able to take advan-
tage of the rule of law which
bears his name.
Subsequent to the first Dur
ham case, Congress enacted

Dirksen, HoIIeck
Urge Scrupping
Of Several Bills

Congressional Repu blican
leaders said today that the
Democratic leadership's hope of
enacting a 10-point legislative
program by September IS was
unrealistic. They urged that
several Of the measures be
strapped Immediately.
House Republican Leader
Halleck specifically mentioned
the feed grains control pro-
posal, the youth corps employ
ment program and an emer-
gency public works authorize
ton among bills that should be
abandoned.
Senate Minority Leader
Dirksen concurred in the
Democratic hope Of adjourn
ing by September is. He de-
clared, however, that it was
highly optimistic and unreal
istic" to suppose that Congress
could act during the next four
or five weeks on the highly
controversial bills given prior
ity by President Kennedy at a
White House conference of
Democratic leaders yesterday.
Cite Other Bills
The Republican leaders said
several other major bills were
conspicuous by their absence
from the Democratic list. They
cited the bills to raise pay of
postal and other Federal clas-
SIZED employees. increase postal
rates, and ban the poll tax as
q qualification for voting.
Describing the legislative
achievements thus far as "a
sorry record" Mr.. Halleck es-
pecially criticized q bill ex-
pected to be cleared by the
House Rules Committee tomor-
row. This would authorize
5000 million for immediate
public works to relieve unem-
ployment. He denounced the
bill as "a political slush fund
and q political blank check
for the President"
The Republican leaders said
prospects were not good for O.

ing bills for Federal aid to
colleges and universities.
Mr.. Halleck said the House
bill, providing aid only for con-
struction of academic facilities
Of private as well as public in
stitutionS Of higher learning,
was loaded up" by the Senate
with further provisions for
scholarship aid. He said he
doubted that the House would
accept those provisions.
Tougher Test Position
Senator Dirksen read a stacS-
ment in behalf Of the joint
Senate House Republican lead
ership urging the Kennedy ad-
ministration TO take a tougher
position in negotiating with the
Russians on a proposed ban on
nuclear testing.
I'VE would like to suggest
that a firmer American nego-
tiating position might be
achieved If the administration
sent demands instead of con-
cessions to Geneva" the state
ment declared. las it is now
the Russians demand and the
United States comedies. We
think this formula is hopeless
and we urge the President to
abandon the concession course
he has set in the test ban
