Trend in u. N.

Certain elements Of the
liberal press were extremely
vociferous in lending support
to the q. N. Afro-Asian Com
muniSt bloc denunciation of
the presence of Belgian mill
tary and civilian personnel
in Katanga during that coun-
try's fight for independence.
Supported by the present ad-
ministration and State De-
partment, the liberal-inspired
connotation Of the term
white m erce airy" was
planted in the public mind
as being somewhat Of a dirty
word. What Of our military
advisory groups all over the
world? Where, other than
national origin, is the differ
ence between our own mill
taTy and civilian personnel in
South Wet Nam and the Bel
gian personnel that were In
Katanga? Was q precedent
established by the q. N. in the
Congo that can be used
against US? Since the U. N. was
successful In the subjugation
Of the anti Communist gov
eminent Of Katanga, what is
to prevent its demand for re-
moval Of our own white
mercenaries" in Wet Nam, or
anywhere else for that mat
ter? This Is not fantastic
conjecture.
Anti = Communist strength
in the q. N. has decreased in
inverse proportion to its
growth and 1t grows every
year. All 1t takes is q major
ity Communist vote. If the
U.N. ever makes such a de-
mand, 1t is certain to receive
the support Of the liberal far
left-wing element Of the
press which would then be-
gin the public opinion mould-
ing routine practiced sue
ceSSfully so many times in
the past that anything done
in the name Of the U. N. is
sacroSanct, divine, above
question, inviolate and in
fallible. Things being what
they are these days, i.e.,
when the u. N. speaks the
liberal government in WASH
ington acquiesces, we can
then dissolve our military
advisory groups and surren-
der our foreign policy to the
u. N. to be formulated by such
dubious characters as Krish-
ma Menon and his pro-Com-
munist clique who would ap-
plaud the sight Of the ham
mer and sickle flying over
the Capitol dome. If the cleo
torate doesn't indicate its
displeasure at the polls this
November, we are lost.

Advocates Shelters

I am writing with respect
to the article, Kennedy Bid
for Shelters Appears Fruit
less" in the July Is, Sunday
Star. In my opinion, the
number Of shelter spaces
should be increased and
stocked with food and water
as soon as possible. This
might mean the saving of
millions of lives. since we
have almost no home shell
tiers.
According to civil De-
fenSe-1961" Omitted States
Government Printing Office,
the cost to provide the Ma
ton with shelters having a
radiation protection factor of
10000, able to withstand q
firestorm and blast pressure
Of IS pounds per square inch
would be quite a bit less than
the over $500 billion men
toned in the article. Accord
ing to the above reference,
the cost Is about $103 to $163
per person, the cost varying
with number of shelters built
and different internal fix
lures such as ventilation Sys-
TENS and power generating
equipment. This would bring
the total cost. to about $40
billion or $50 billion which
would be less than the de-
tense budget for one year. If
this amount were spread over
several years it could fit into
the national budget with very
little strain. A plan very
similar to this is advocated in
House Report #1754 of the
87th Congress, End Session,
National Fallout Shelter
Program - Sixteenth Report
by the Committee on Gov
eminent Operations" This
plan would provide far more
protection and save far more
lives than a plan for shelters
designed to protect against
fallout only. and it should be
given serious consideration
by every thinking American.

Insanity Defense

When David C. Acheson became
United States Attorney some Is months
ago he was Sympathetically disposed
toward the Durham rule-the criminal
insanity rule laid down for the District
in 1854 by the United States Court of
Appeals. His experience as prosecutor,
however, has led him to the conclusion
that some changes in the rule are nee
eSSary If justice is to be served.
1t is absurd to say that he wants to
turn time backward and punish people
whose mental condition is such that
they cannot control their acts. Those
who make such charges are either guilty
OF deliberate misrepresentation or they
have not taken the trouble to ascertain
the facts.
The Durham rule in essence provides
that defendant must be found not
guilty by reason Of insanity If "his I'M
lawful act was the product Of mental
disease or mental defect" Mr.. Acheson
has no disagreement with the objective
Of the rule nor with the mental disease
or mental defect provisos. The word
product" however, has caused vast
confusion, and numerous rulings by the
Court Of Appeals in the eight. years
since the rule was first announced have,
If anything, increased the confusion.
Mr.. Acheson thinks Qualification is
needed-for the edification Of Jurors
and for the benefit of psychiatric ex-
perts. He would like to see language
adopted which would follow the recon-
mendation Of the American Law Insti-
tute, the insanity test prescribed in the
Third Federal Circuit, or perhaps some
combination Of the two. The gist of the
change would be that the defendant
must be found not guilty by reason of
insanity II he lacks Substantial capac-
ity to conform his conduct to require
ments of law"
Mr.. AcheSon favors other changes
which would require the defense to
submit substantial" evidence rather
than merely "some" evidence that a
defendant suffers from mental disease
or defect, and that, because Of this, he
lacks substantial capacity to obey the
law. Finally, he thinks that defendant
who intends to offer the defense of in
sanity should be required to give reason
able notice to the prosecutor.
This, to some extent, is an over
simplication Of Mr.. AcheSon's position,
made necessary by space limitations.
We are satisfied, however, that his
stand is reasonable one, and that the
Durham rule, which has been disap-
proved in two of the Federal Circuits
and not adopted in any, except here,
needs revision. We hope Mr.. Acheson's
views will be considered on their merits,
without resort to irresponsible and ri
diculous intimations that his real am
bition is to. jail people who are not men
tally responsible for their acts. We don't
understand how anyone who knows Mr.
Acheson could either express or believe
such nonsense.

self which has not yet been
resolved.
In contrast with Mr.. Ham
marskjold, Acting Secretary
General q Thant has q far
more modest view Of his
own role and that Of the o. N.
itself. Far more than his pre-
deceSsor he appears skeptical
Of the validity and coher-
ence Of a world parliament"
made up Of nearly a hundred
separate national interests.
He also seems more aware Of
the danger involved in plac-
ing armed forces at the dis
position of this majority.
Made Some Headway
In the course Of his recent
trip to Paris Mr.. Thant's
moderate approach made
considerable Roadway with
French President Charles de
Gaulle. All that was asked
was that the French use

ing African states to bring
about a settlement Of the
Congo dispute. In this the
French are glad to cooperate
since it seems to them the
proper way to deal with the
problem.
At the same time, they re-
main as firmly opposed as
ever to U. N. military expedi-
tons in the Congo or any
where else. They remain
equally opposed to the idea
of rule by a majority of the
U. N. General Assembly on
the theory-which seems to
underlie the ruling Of the
World Court-that this ma
jority can commit all mem
Der nations to support finan-
cially whatever military
operations the Assembly may
decide to undertake.
Cooperation, then, depends
on the role which the United
Nations chooses to play in the
Congo and elsewhere in the
future. Those who continue
to support the thesis that the
U. N. is a suitable instrument
for military Intervention in
international disputes will
find few supporters in France
or, for that matter, in Britain
and Western Europe as q
whole. On the other hand,
those who, like q Thant, are
prepared to recognize the
innate limitations of the
world organization may find
that the financial problems
Of the U. N. tend to solve
themselves.

Planning vs.. Politics

The current Kennedy trend
toward monolithic govern
ment where the power of the
purse and the power Of the
people are vested in one small
dominant group, has finally
trickled down to Montgomery
County. The suggestion that
the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission be abolished and its
functions taken over by the
County Council, should be
viewed with concern by area
citizens.
If our county Is to grow
and prosper for the benefit
OF all the people, planning
must be divorced from pol
itics. If the recommended
tons Of the Public Service
Administration report were
to be instituted, planning and
politics would become bed
fellows in a marriage Of con-
venience where only the
power-hung1y would gain.

bara Graham, wanted to be-
lieve in her innocence, partly
it seems because she was a
classic case Of an unwanted
and misled human being
whose anti-social propensi-
ties were forever being re-
inforced by the society she
would ultimately harm. It
makes no sense; it Is Just as
uneconomic as 1t is in
humane.
But in Mr.. Palmer's view,
the fact remains that Mrs.
Graham was deeply involved
in the brutal murder Of Mabel
Monohan. The sentence was
just in terms Of the law.
IN AN ARTICLE called
Massacre in the Mountains"
Jean Muir, a magazine writ
er, outlines the career Of
Larry Lord Motherwell.
Motherwell was q con man
who like many Of his col
leagues specialized in swim
ding women.
Motherwell passed himself
off as an important Govern
ment official and as a IA
nous physicist. But q West
ern Union clerk who had &C
cepted a telegram from him
testified that "the words
yacht ceremony and re-
ceive' were misspelled." The
mans career was as fantastic
as it was brutal.
A few Of the murders re-
ported in the book are un-
solved. In many Of them, 1t is
a hard man who will say that
there was no reasonable
doubt" that the convicted
murderer was In fact guilty.
Indeed. one Of the essays is
entitled 1.-The Lingering
Doubt" It is easy to under
stand what a lingering
doubt" is, but much harder
and more important to un-
derstand what a reasonable
doubt" is. Mr.. McComas is
frankly opposed to capital
punishment. and quite a few
Of the cases in 1.-THE Grave
side Companion" support his
point on technical grounds
alone.
1t is a fine book Of its tyne.
But the proofreading and the
editing are very careless.

PARIS
A scramble to fall in line
with the verdict Of the World
Court holding that all mem
befs Of the United Nations
should pay their share of
military operations in the
Congo and the Middle East
seems unlikely, to say the
least.
France and Russia and
some As other countries
which have not contributed
to the Congo operations are
largely responsible for the
financial spot in which the
U. N. finds itself. But wheth-
er they will now decide to
cooperate depends more on
the course Of the q. N. itself
than on any advisory opin-
ions handed down by the
judges in The Hague.
So far as France is con-
cerned, there is, to be sure,
some hope Of a more Coop
erative attitude. While the
Algerian war lasted, French
relations with the o. N. were
poisoned by a succession of
ANTI = colonialist" resolutions
in the General Assembly and
the constant threat of U. N.
intervention in what France
regarded as a purely internal
affair. Now that the war is
over and France is actively
trying to improve its rela-
tons with African and Asian
countries, things may be diff
ferent.
The real change, however,
may be less on the French
side than within the q. N.
itself. Since the tragic death
Of q. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskold a year
ago, a number Of important
transformations in the lead
ership of the world organi-
cation seems to have taken
place.

enlarge the role Of the U. N.

A. The phrase indicates
perfection. "Rounder than
Giotto's o" is hyperbole. to
indicate impossible perfec-
ton. The story is that one
time when he was asked to

Italian artist and architect
simply drew a perfect circle
