lier legislation.
The lawyer. John A. O'Don-
nell, was excused from the pub
lie hearing because Of illness.

litical campaign contributions.

ton. :"

toned by the Senate committee

law as the phychiatrist had
asked.
Essentially. the decision is in
line with prior cases which state
that the jury should be per-
mitted to decide If a man has a
mental disease or defect.
The Court of Appeals sent
the case back for a new trial
not on the addiction question,
but on a technically stemming
from the trial judges erroneous
statement. The trial judge
Richmond B. Keech, had mis-
takenly equated the standards
for criminal insanity with the
standards of mental compe-
tency to stand trial is whether
the defendant is mentally CON-
petent to understand the ma
ture Of the charges against
him, his trial proceedings, and
to consult with his attorney
at the time of the trial. The
Durham rule applies to mental
illness at the time Of the crime.
Statement Corrected
The trial judges remark: III
is a fact and the hospital has
certified that this man
is competent to stand trial ant
there is no mental disease. The
court also noted that the men,
tai competency standards fol-
criminal insanity are different
than those for competency To
stand trial.
Although the trial Judge
corrected his statement later
the Appellate Court felt thai
the error could not be removed
from the Jurors minds.
The case achieved notoriety
late last month when the eight
well-known psychiastrists filet
a brief supporting Horizons
claim Of criminal insanity.
The psychiatrists said:
when an addict seeks drug
he is acting under the impellinI
force Of his physical needs. HI

Horton had been convicted
in the United States District
Court on charges Of possessing
and using narcotics despite his
plea of insanity. Expert medi-
cal testimony at the trial diff
fered as to whether narcotics

That rule, known as the Dur
ham rule. provides that a de-
fendant is legally insane, If at
the time Of the crime he was
suffering from a mental disease
or defect an diff the crime was
a product Of that defect.
The Government had argued
at the trial that narcotics ad-
diction is not a recognized men,

considered as a criterion for
criminal insanity under exist

Nuclcar Test Ban Treaty Rati-
ficd-After exhaustive hearings
and lengthy debate, during which
all arguments were examined and
all facets of the issue were con-
sidered the United States Senate
on September "a ratified the Nu-
clear Test Ban Treaty by a vote
of 80 to 10. 1t was decided that
ratification Of the treaty was in
the best interest of the American
people.
The main provisions of the treaty
are:
Each signer agrees to ban all
nuclear explosions in any place
under its control in the atmos-
phere, in outer space, or under
water;
Each signer pledges not TO en-
courage non-underground nuclear
explosions anywhere;
Any amendment to the treaty
must be approved by the three
original parties, the United States,
Britain, and the Soviet Union, as
well as a majority of all parties in
order to take effect;
The treaty goes into effect with
ratification by the original three
and it is open for signature by all
nations, even those not universally
recognized;
The treaty is of unlimited dura-
tion-and any party may withdraw
at any time by giving notice to all
other parties three months in ad-
vance.
l voted for two amendments, the
Russell amendment, which was ac-
The Republican., 1963-10-03

cepted. and the Long understand
ing which failed of passage. The
Russell amendment provides that
any future amendments to the
treaty are subject to Senate rati-
fication. The Long understand
ing" introduced by Senator Tower
of Texas for Senator Long of
louisiana stated that the treaty
would not bar use of nuclear
weapons in armed conflict This
failed because a majority of the
Senators felt that it was unneces-
sary. l had expected to vote for
certain other proposed reserva-
tions, but they we're withdrawn
because their respective sponsors
decided that the points involved
were taken care of by the Presi-
dents guarantees, contained in a
letter addressed to the Senate
leadership.
In hearings on the treaty held
by the Preparedness Investigating
Subcommittee of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, of
which l am member, the Joint
Chiefs of Staff defined certain
safeguards which they believed
advantageous:
(a) The conduct of comprehen-
sive, aggressive, and continuing
underground nuclear test pro-
grams designed to add to our
knowledge and improve our Weap-
ons in all areas of significance
to our military posture for the fu-
ture.
(b) The maintenance of modern
nuclear laboratory facilities and
programs in theoretical and explor-
atory nuclear technology which
will attract, retain, and insure the
continued application of our hui
man scientific resources to these
programs on which continued
progress in nuclear technology de-
pends.
(c) The maintenance of the ia
cilities and resources necessary to
institute promptly nuclear tests in
the atmosphere should they be
deemed essential to our national
security or should the treaty or
any of its terms be abrogated by
the Soviet Union
cd The Improvement of our ca
pacity, within feasible and prac-
teal limits, to monitor the terms
of the treaty, to detect violations
and to maintain our knowledge OF
Sino-SoViet nuclear activity, capa-
bilities, and achievements.

EXTENSION PROGRAM


THERE R SO many wonderful things about a
a college in a community that one would be hard press
ed to comment on all Of them. The wholesome influence
Of a college reaches out, touching and improving the
lives of many, in one way or another.
ONE OF THE most important, though less specta-
cular progress Of the College Of the Virgin Islands is it's
extension program. This is the program through which
the College reaches out directly into the community,
conducting courses, seminaries and developing pro-
grams which are of the highest benefit to those who
are not enrolled in the regular college courses.
THERE ARE so3many ways in which an extension
program benefits the great masses Of the people that
it would require too much space and time to recount
them all. Adults who are already gainfully employed in
many types of work have the opportunity to take such
courses as will improve their skills from day to day.
Actually, they put into practice next week what they
learned this week. And there is no limit to such exam
pies. Things are always changing, new methods are all
ways being tried and introduced, and those who want
to keep pace with the latest and best methods find the
answers in extension courses.
GREAT THINGS are expected Of the College Of
the Virgin Islands, and there is every reason that it will
live up to our highest expectations. Starting, as it does
with a clean slate. the administration Of the college has
an opportunity almost second to none. This college is
founded to serve the community Of the Virgin Islands.
our needs and wants are known, and the College can
address itself to these challenges, right from the start.
AS HAS ALREADY been stated in these columns,
no single event within the last SO years is more signi-
ficant than the founding Of this college. Even though
we may not realize it at first, these Islands will never
be the same again, and it will all be for the better-be-
cause Of the College.
