Us ually, two or three experts testify that, at the time of the assault, the man was in sane and unable to tell right from wrong; while three other experts testify that he was sane. The decision as to which of the experts was talking most foolishly is then put up to a jury of laymen who know ab solutely nothing about the sub ject, and who have no ideas as to what the early or transient symptoms of insanity are. If they had to question a man as to his sanity, they would not know how to go about it. What amuses me is that, for the purposes of a Court, the man has to be either sane or insane; he cannot be half-way between. And yet, all of us men and women know that there are a million persons in this coun try who, while they may never become queer enough so that they have to be locked up, are too queer to live comfortably with anyone, or to marry any one, or perhaps even to work with anyone. What happens usually at the murder trial is that if the man is let off on the plea of tem porary insanity and is commit ted to a hospital for the crim inally insane, within a few weeks, his lawyers are trying to get him freed on the plea that he is sane again. It is far from a pleasing or edifying spectacle! Should Think of Psychosis What bothers me, also, is that when a man who, from the story of his behavior is obviously psychotic, murders someone he is likely to be quickly convicted and sentenced to death. Some times the question of insanity is hardly raised. Why? Because, as the papers say, it was so atrocious a murder over which the man showed not the slight est compunction. Actually, the fact that a murderer was need lessly brutal, and later showed no regret, should make everyone think of psychosis. In many of the cases, if the court were to ask a couple of psychiatrists what they think of the man, even without see ing him, they would say "Don t bother to try him; he is psy chotic." Occasionally, I read that a mother is being tried for the murder of a child or two. Why try her? Why waste time and money? She must have been out of her mind. Just ask her why she did it and she may say, "Because God told me to." One wonders why our penal code cannot be amended so that, if experts on insanity are to be heard, they will be employed by the .court and paid by the court; they will be "friends of the court," with no interest one way or the other in what hap pens to the prisoner. Their only interest will be to help the judge and the jury in understanding the man and why he acted as he did. Would Listen io Family Often, I think that much bet ter than having experts before the Court, would be the listen ing to the members of the pa tient's family, his neighbors and friends, and the people with whom he works if he ever did work. I know that often, by talking to such people, in a few minutes I can learn much more about a man's sanity than I could learn by talking to him for two hours. I remember when one of my associates in San Fran NEW BLACK Easy Vision TV MINKLER'S Sales & Serice PHONE 2-9824 40 S. Barilett TJM Reg. The New Taste Thrill Sold Exclusively at - JACK'S DRIVE-UP 911 North Riverside 34c Xjgg334c Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation cisco, a brilliant physician, who for months was going insane; it was very hard for me, who knew him well and worked along side of him, to be sure of what was happening. The trouble was that he had always been so eccentric. All that his friends could say was that, about a cer tain time, he became- a bit more eccentric and queer and choleric than he ever had been before. His behavior became too odd for him. Often, when discussing the sanity of a brother or a father or uncle with his family, they will say, "But he was always eccentric and odd." But then a relative will say, "But no, he was never that bad before;" and this is the essential point. He never was that bad, and only the family or close friends can say this. One great difficulty in the way of caring for the insane in courts of law is that the lawyers stick to an ancient definition of insanity. I remember a para noid man who easily went free after he had murdered his neigh bor who hadn't done him any harm. He assumed that the neighbor had been planning to make love to his mousy little wife. The lawyers argued for days as to whether the man had the requisite knowledge of right and wrong; that was all that bothered them. But the jury let him off because, as they said, everyone in town knew he was crazy! Later he shot another man who had done him no harm. Tear Gas Grenade Not Funny, Police State Gaston, Ore. (U.R) Police Chief Robert T. Wiss said today he didn't think someone's idea of a Christmas joke was very funny. Some 200 persons were chased from a dance here early Monday when a tear gas grenade was dropped into a rest room waste-basket. The chief said he expected to make an arrest.

As a result, he has asked Arthur M. Sheets, civil defense .director for Oregon, to arrange for the appointment of teams to make the necessary surveys.
