Next to her was Mrs. Ha-

sure am having fun" She is
a housewife and the mother
of three children.
The third in the group
was Mrs. Jessie VasSall of
Detroit. II have three child

love me and mind because
I'm an ex-WAVE."
Miss Mildred Riley Of
Shinnston, w. Va, was there
and said that she was proud
to have served in the WAVES
for three years as a chief
pharmacist mate and a teach
er. Leaving the Navy, she
went back TO her home town.
The Navy's loss was a gain
for the sixth graders of
Shinnston.
One of the most looked
on" features of the party was
an exhibit of water colors.
The largest contributor was
Washington's own former
debutante. Rosalind Rust.
She executed no less than 18
pictures in the collection. Also
in the exhibit were works of
John Falter. Howard Bear
and Jon Whitcomb, to name
a few.

ment for Fisher because pSychi-
artists were unable to say he
was sufficiently i'll to qualify
for such a commitment.
Second Method
The second method suggested
by the Supreme Court involves
use of existing civil commit
ment procedures. Papers filed
by Assistant United States At
torney Oscar Aldshur ask this
for Lynch and Kornegay.
In the case Of Lynch and
Kornegay, acquitted because Of
insanity on bad check and as
sault charges respectively, psy-
chiatriSts state both presently
are of unSound mind.
The question of whether they
should remain in st. Elizabeths
Hospital, under usual preced-
ureS, would be one for the
Mental Health Commission,
which customarily handles only
on-criminal cases.
Under the usual procedure,
patients who object to the find
ing of the Mental Health Com
mission can obtain a jury trial
on the question of their sanity.
If Lynch and Kornegay, said
by psychiatrists to need further
treatment, are not recommitted
civilly to the hospital, some
perplexing problems could be
raised.
The release of defendants
who are mentally i'll enough
to be found not criminally re-
sponSible but not i'll enough for
civil commitment has been
avoided thus far under the
mandatory commitment law.
This law was passed by Con-
greSS following the decision by
the United States Court Of
Appeals that broadened the in
sanity defense here in the now
famous 1854 Durham case.
The mandatory commitment
laws purpose was to protect
the public from the release of
dangerous persons who might
be found not guilty of criminal
charges because of insanity.

In another development yes
terday the Agriculture Depart
ment announced it had or
dered a review of cotton allot-

er, Bobby Frank Estes on farms
listed in his name in Reeves
and Pecos Counties, Tex.
Department officials said the
review stemmed from testi-
mony before the subcommittee
this week that Bobby Frank
Estes was given a 388-acre
planting allotment in 1858 for
a farm on which he claimed
7,100 tillable acres of cropland
1t later was determined the
farm had only $50 acres OF
tillable land.
The Department said the re-
view will be made by Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Con-
servation Service committees in
the two counties.

This much is certain that
a Dixie belle is always
charming even if she is con-
fined to a wheel-chair with
arthritis.
This is especially true of
20-year-old B arbara Pace
from Jasper, Tex, who is
currently touring Washing
ton as the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. John N. Smart of Rock
vile, Md.
Yesterday, Barbara
stormed Capitol Hill, and was
received by Mrs. Lyndon
johnson. wife of the Vice
President.
Officiating for her hus-
band, who was attending a
meeting of the National Sc
curity Council at the White
House, Mrs. johnson came
down specially to meet Bar
bara.
Sees Souvenirs
She spent half an hour
with her explaining the nu-
merous souvenirs and me-
mentos in her husbands Of
flee, and also telling her
something about how the
Government works.
Later. Barbara was the
luncheon guest of Represen-
tative Jack Brooks, and also
met Senator John wer,
both of Texas.
Also, early in the morning
she went through the White
House on a special tour ar
ranged for her by the Vice
President.
ArthritiS struck Barbara
when she was 8. She has not
been out of a wheel-chair
since.
She met Mrs. Smart, whose
husband is a Washington
businessman, in 1858 at the
Texas Lions Camp for Grip
pied Children in Kerrville,
Tex, where Mrs. Smart was
a counselor.
The camp dispersed when
summer was over. but the
two kept in touch with each
other by mail. For 10 years
this contact has been main
tanned.
This year Mrs. Smart in
vited Barbara to visit Wash
ington. She accepted and
paid for her plane ticket with
savings from her weekly al
lowance.
Mrs. Smart is not the only
pen-pall of Barbara. She has
pen-pals all over the coun-
try. Both boys and girls.
But of course the most i'm

she says.
What makes Barbara so
outstanding in spite of her

She swims, goes camping,
fishing and boating, and
draws pencil sketches. She

The United States Attorneys
office, in the wake of a Su-
preme Court ruling. has asked
for civil commitment to men,
tai hospital for two men &C
quilted because of insanity.
The outcome of the cases
could have a significant effect
on the handling of some GRIM
inal cases involving the insan-
ity issue.
The defendantS-neither of
whom raised an insanity de-
fense-are Frederick c. Lynch
whose case prompted the high
court ruling, and Leonard O.
Kornegay.
In the Lynch case, the Su-
preme Court said the Districts
mandatory commitment law
did not apply to defendants
who disclaimed an insanity de-
Tense at their trials.
The mandatory commitment
law requires that a person
found not guilty Of a criminal
charge because of insanity be
hospitalized until psychiatrists
certify he is no longer danger
Gus.
The Supreme Courts ruling
in the Lynch case applies pri-
marily to cases arising in Mu-
nicipal Court, where some de-
PENDANTS may prefer a compar-
atively short Jail sentence to
hospital commitment for an in
definite period.
With this choice in mind,
some have chosen not to raise
the insanity issue.
Intent in Doubt
In its ruling in the Lynch
case, the Supreme Court said
it did not believe Congress in
tended there be mandatory
commitment in cases in which
defendants disclaim an insanity
defense.
The high court, however, sug-
gested two alternate methods
for disqualification of persons
who reject this defense but are
found not guilty because of in
sanity anyway.
The first, which the Gov
attempted to follow
in a recent case, is an adapta-
ton Of the present pre-trial
commitment procedures for de-
PENDANTS who are incompetent
to stand trial.
This approach, as followed in
the case of William Fisher, was
unsuccessful from the Govern
nent's point of view because
a District Court judge ordered
Fishers release.
Fisher argued successfully
that he should be freed under
the Supreme Court ruling in
The Lynch case. A subsequent
Municipal Court commitment
was thrown out.
The Government had decided
against seeking a civil commit

AMARILLO, Tex. July %
(AP) An indicted associate of
Billie Sol Estes testified yes
terday the West Texas financier
mentioned giving part interest
in a grain elevator to Vice
President Johnson.
Almost in the same breath,
the associate, Coleman D. Nc
Spadden, said ne doubted the
truth of the Estes remark.
Mr.. McSpadden said the pro-
moter dropped the Vice Presi-
dents name in connection with
plans to build a giant grain
terminal at Hereford, Texas.
When Estes was asked how
the project was being financed,
McSpadden said he replied
For one thing. I'm giving one
eighth interest to Lyndon
Johnson"
Aide Denies Link
An assistant to the Vice
President, George Reedy, said
in Washington that neither Mr..
johnson nor his family ever
had anly business dealings with
Estes. even indirectly.
HE was never offered, direct
ly or indirectly. any interest
in grain elevator by Mr..
Estes" Mr.. Reedy said. He
did not, directly or indirectly,
receive any interest in a grain
elevator from Mr.. Estes. He
never discussed any interest
in a grain elevator with Mr.
Estes"
The testimony came during
the second day of a court of
inquiry that continued today
to seek more information from
McSpadden and two other
former associates of Estes, the
now bankrupt king of farm
finance.
Awaiting calls to continue
testimony were Harold F. Orr,
81, president of Superior Manu-
featuring Co.; Ruel w. Alex
ander, SO, vice president, and
McSpadden, As, majority stock
holder in Superior. an Amarillo
tankbuilding firm.
Fail to Bar Quiz
Counsel for Commercial
Solvents Corp, which sold
anhydrous ammonia worth mil
lions for distribution by Estes,
had sought and failed to win a
State court order to prevent the
inquiry.
Commercial Solvents con-
tended the inquiry, eighth of a
series in various cities, would
hamper its defense against a
State antitrust suit based on
the Estes empires rise and
fall.
McSpadden testified earlier
that Estes had told him about
spending 100000 a year to
maintain a favorable situation
in Washington" but gave no
details about where the money
went.

COP. Rejection
Of Right-to
Activity Urged
By the Associated Press

John M. Bailey, Democratic
national chairman, called on
Republican leaders last night
to repudiate what he termed
renewed G. O. P. activity in
behalf of right-to-work laws.
He said in a statement that
radical right-wing groups are
conducting right-to-work drives
in New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey. Con-
necticut, Oklahoma and other
States. He added that Repub-
licans are allying themselves
with some of these drives.
Right-to-work laws are now
in effect in 19 States. They
prohibit any requirement in
union contracts that a worker
must belong to a labor union
to get or hold a job.
Mr.. Bailey said Republicans
seem to be planning to make
right-to-work a major issue
this year. He added
IF they do not wish to op-
pose 'right-to- work for reasons
of principle I suggest they con-
slider such a step as a matter
of political expediency. If the
Republicans continue to ally
themselves with a program to
take away job security and
push wages down, they will be
punished for it at the polls in
1862 as they were in 1883"
