prime rate question mainly be-
cause Of its scare" value in
restraining bankers from rails
ing the rate any time IN the
near future.
As bankers long have leaned
over backwards to avoid any
appearance of violating anti
trust laws. it is considered
doubtful that any evidence can
be found of formal collision in
fixing of the prime rate, which
is regarded as a general indi-
Gator of the supply and de-
mand for bank credit.
Guides Other Cities
The primo rate is the rate
that commercial banks charge
their biggest. most credit
worthy customers. Since rates
in all cities of the Nation are
based on the prime, it is a
major factor affecting the ad-
miniStration'S campaign to
keep interest rates down. ex-
cept in the Short-term market.
Strong pressure also has
been eXerted on the Federal
Reserve System to prevent any
credit restraints that might
raise rates.
Large New York banks have
played a major role in initiat-
ing changes IL the prime rate
because New York is the lead
ing money market ana over
all conditions are more appar-
ent there.
Chase Manhattan, First Ma
tional City Or Bankers Trust
Co. have initiated IA of the
19 changes in the rate since
it was first established in the
1930s. But changes also have
been initiated by Chicago and
Boston banks.
Concept Is Changed
In a recent review of the
prime rates history, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Of New York
pointed out that it was eStab-
lished in the mid-l920S at IL
per cent and then was con-
sidered as the floor below
which bank lending was con-
Sidered totally unprofitahlo."
Since then the concept has
changed completely. The rate
no longer is the absolute mini
mum for bank loans, but rather
is a rough indicator of supply
and demand for bank credit.

TO LYNNE


This little girl is a gift of God,
Made, truly by His hand
To help us all regain our faith
And then to understand
That amidst our gloomy thoughts
There is shining star
To lift our hearts to higher flights
And heal the wounded scar.
She is the perfect little girl
With all her golden curls,
She's treasured here most highly;
The greatest of all pearls
She has little turned up nose
And eyes of deep sky-blue,
She's little roly-poly
Who measures two feet-two.
Her grandparents just adore her;
This itSy -bitSy tot,
You see. she was the first
To come and cast her lot.
Our home is so much brighter
Our smiles from deep within.
Since God sent us this little girl:
Our little Patricia Lynne.

THE WIND
Blowing and clustering,
Musing and mastering
The wind hear but do not see
Murmuring and chattering
Whimpering and scattering.
AS it takes leaf from off tree.
l hold no fear,
For the sound hear
Is only the shrilling voice of the air;
But oh! how it blows.
And freezes my toes.
And twists the curls that are in my hair.
With breeze so slight,
And yet in flight
The wind no longer sounds SO shrill;
But in violent blast
The breeze is past
And the gust of air no longer is still.

for a hearing on his sanity and
had not raised this point with
the Court of Appeals.
The Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, head of the Justice De-
partment's civil rights division,
argued it would not be right
to find a man guilty when a
judge knew his mental condi-
ton meant he was innocent.
Disparity in Custody
Mr.. Marshall said the real
basis for Lynch's appeal was
Illustration" at the disparity
between the comparatively short
sentence he might have gotten
and his indefinite commit
ment's possible length.
The Government lawyer said
it was inevitable" that the
period required for a defend
ants recovery, since it was
based on his illness. might not
necessarily be related to the
seriousness of his offense.
In response to questions by
Justice Stewart, Mr.. Marshall
noted II States have manda-
tory commitment laws and that
a number of the other States
give judges discretion to COM
NIT insane defendants.
Mr.. Marshall said he consid-
cred it remarkable" that
Lynch and the American Civil
Liberties Union, which filed a
brief as a friend Of the court, {"
were arguing that a Judge
should ignore evidence of in
nocence.

Ian said the high court has a
duty to try to avoid the consti-
tutional question.

parted from its practice of

To-day our concern with
mans environment ranges from
the ocean floor to the stars.
Since there are virtually no
limits to the physical dimen-

we must identify and unshackle

phase of Government operation
we must be certain that we

The Supreme Court has taken
the Frederick C. Lynch case
under advisement amid hints
that the high court may re-
verse the case but will not dis
turb the Districts mandatory
commitment law.
Lynch, a 43-year-old former
Air Force lieutenant colonel,
was committed to st. Eliza
beths Hospital in 1859 after an
unsuccessful attempt to plead
guilty in Municipal Court to
bad check charges.
Chief Municipal Court Judge
John Lewis Smith, jr., rejected
the plea when a psychiatrist
said Lynch. while competent for
trial, had been mentally i'll and
needed treatment to avoid new
offenses.
Judge Smith found Lynch not
guilty because Of insanity and
sent him to st. Elizabeths un-
der the Districts commitment
law, which requires hospitaliza-
ton until a person thus ac-
quilted RECEIVERS.
Supreme Court justices, in
questions during oral argu-
ments yesterday, indicated con-
Germ over problems raised in
the case. Lynch claims an in
sanity defense was forced on
him without notice.
Fairness Issue Raised
Chief Justice Warren asked
whether fairness" didn't re-
quire notice to a defendant
that his sanity would be ques-
toned. The Chief Justice
wanted to know the effect of
reversing the case for this.
Justice Frankfurter indi-
Gated concern over the time lag
between an alleged offense and
later trial. Lawyer Richard
Arens said Lynch was not al
lowed to show at his trial that
he was no longer mentally i'll.
Judge Harlan raised the pos
sibility that the mandatory
commitment law be reserved
for persons who plead insanity
as a defense. Assistant Attor-
ney General Burke Marshall
said the statute does not allow
this.
Mr.. Marshall, in response to
the Chief Justices questions,
noted that Lynch had not ask

found that women Is and older
made up 20 per cent of the
unwed mothers here 40 years

under 20 unwed mothers has
dropped proportionately.
Mr.. Bigman also reported that
unwed motherhood among white
girls occurred most often in the
rooming house areas near Du-
pont circle and Capitol Hill.
Calling attention to the heavy
concentration of illegitimacy
in the worst sections of the city,
he recommended that residents
there be dispersed throughout
town so they could meet people
whose values are different.

married mothers was made at
the request of the District Com

Federal employees who are
fired do not have the right in
appealing to the Civil Service
Commission to cross-examine
witnesses whose affidavits or
statements supplied the grounds
for their removal, the United
States Court of Appeals has
ruled.
The decision is important be-
cause it applies to employees dis
missed under regular civil
service procedures.
During the past decade, the
courts have held that, in Sc
curity firings, employees did not
have the right to cross-exam-
inc adverse witnesses if the
agency involved felt national
security considerations would
be involved.
However, the latest case does
not involve security factors but
is a regular civil service re-
moval type of case.
The employe contended he
had been removed in violation o
Section IA of the Veterans
Preference Act because in the
hearing before the CSC's ap-
peals examiner, the department
(Air Force did not produce for
crosS-examination the thr e e
members of the Air Force whose
affidavitS were the basis of the
charges against him.
However, the court rejected
this contention, stating:
THE statutes under which
Congress has authorized the
dismissal of civilian employees
Of the Government by admin
istrative process do not require
the Government, in this case
the Air Force, to produce for
cross-examination the persons
whose affidavits or statements
supply the factual basis for dis
missal. The failure of the
Air Force to produce such wit
nesses here can in no way be
viewed as a denial of appel
lant's statutory and procedural
rights"
