Two bills designed to provide a new I method of handling persons in the District to of Columbia mittee, ment, today by which the Interior Depart- s supervision over St. Secretary of In- terior Work requested that they be introduced and considered at this s sion. One of the bills would accom- plish the following: Provide for voluntary tient, with provision for his discharge on three days’ notice. Provide that insane persons taken into custody by ficials would not be subjected to trial as are criminals, but held in the hos- pital and treated. and not tried except upon their own request, or that of | relatives or friends. i cases of insane | Senator Capper, | foreign mo- | chairman of the Senate District com- | commitment | for treatment on request of the pa-| police or other of- Would Simplify Tri: Provide that if trial is demanded by | the patient or by court order, the in- | sane person would be heard by the court and not subjected to a jury trial | unless the patient, his relati or | friends demanded it Provide for temporary commitment | with provision that during such time | and prior to formal commitment the | person may be released upon certificate to the District of Columbia by the | superintendent of the hospital or by | two physicians that the person is not | insane or has recovered Prove for the automatic restoration | of civil ights of patients discharged, | on_certificate that they are cured. The other bill is intended to change | existing requirements relating to per- | sons sent to St. Elizabeth’s by the heads of departmen:s of the Govern- ment. Many Freed on Writs. | A letter accompanying the draft of | the bill explains that in recent years | | many writs of habeas corpus have been | granted by the courts under which pa- tients admitted to St. Elizabeth's from | the Army and other Federal organi- | zations have been released. This usually oceurs, according to the letter, after the patient has been placed in the hospital | on a commitment under existing laws permissible while the patient still re- mains in the scrvicé of the United States. The writs in such cases, according to | the Interior epartment. apparently have been granted after the dischargv of the patient from the Army or other Federal service and on the theory that | they are then in the hospital without proper commitment or ascertainment of condition. The proposed bill, the department states, declares such commitments to be legal authority for the reception and | retention of such patients until cured or | released or transferred by the commit- ting authority. It als> provides oppor- | tunity for hearing with respect to the ! mental condition of such patients in | case it should be claimed they are not | 354 Duck Eggs in 365 Days. mpbell duck, owned by Maxwell of Thebereton Grange, has just achieved the record of laying 357 eggs in 365 days, which | is claimed to be the record for Eng land.
