The Republican presidential
nominee set forth those views in
speech last night in Boise,
Idaho, and then flew here for a
conference today with G. O. P.
leaders from seven Midwestern
States.
Gen. Eisenhower's plane circled
an hour and 20 minutes before
landing at Fairfax Airport early
today-waiting for rain and gusts
Of wind sweeping the runways to

Unalarmed by Wait.
The general showed no concern
during the wait aloft, chatting
with ,members Of his staff most
of the time. A crowd Of approx
mately 200 greeted him at the
airport and another group
cheered him as he entered his
hotel for few hours sleep before
the conference.
At Boise, Gen. Eisenhower told
a lice-estimated crowd Of about
20, 900 persons:

The general spoke from the
steps of Idaho's capitol in making
what his associates had billed in
advance as his first frankly po-
litical speech since winning the
nomination.
He got a rousing ovation at the
outset and was interrupted by
applause several times.
Gen. Eisenhower disregarded
his prepared text, but in his Off

the same theme he had outlined in
the prepared version.

there was no mention of that.
He did not. in the first place,

In calling for a middle course,
Gen. Eisenhower said it must be

security, insurance against un-

In Staying Of Employer
Judges Error Wins Pleu
For Salesman Foeine
Choir in 1850 Killing

Luther r. Weakley. 51-year-old
food salesman now under death
sentence in the Staying of his en-
ployer, today received a new lease
on life when the United States
Court of Appeals reversed itself
on an earlier ruling and granted
a new trial.
Weakley was convicted Of first
degree murder in November, 1850.
after the fatal shooting of his
employer, Thomas G. Carnes, 43,
in the Office of the Blue Plate
Foods Co., 500 block Of F
street NE.
The Staying occurred May 20,
1850. Weakley's execution orig
inally was set for July 81, 1851.
Based on Judges Error.
Last May the appellate court
rejected a plea for a new trial.
The appeal then was made mainly
on the ground that the trial judge,
District Judge Edward M. Curran
had erred in not stating accu-
rately the difference between first
and second degree murder.
Fermentation generally must be
shown to prove firSt-degree muir
der. Such premeditation is not an
element in finding for second-de-
gree murder.
A rehearing Of the appeal was
granted. The Government filed q
memorandum agreeing that the
case be remanded to the District
Court for a new trial.
Today the appellate court again
took up the question of Judge Cur
rams alleged error and agreed the
jurist's instructions were not clear
1T is, therefore. impossible to
say that the verdict is a true re-
Election in law Of the jury's view
of the facts" the court held in q
split, 2 to /, opinion.
Clark Attacks Ruling.
The majority opinion was con-
Cured in by Judges James r. Proc
tor and Charles M. Fahy. In a
dissent, Judge Bennett Champ
Clark declared:
II regard it a most serious mis-
carriage of justice to remand this
case for new trial. The murder
of which appellant was convicted
was as cold-blooded, deliberate
and pre-meditated as any I have
ever considered. -.
"The sole reason for reversal
is an unrealistic view that ap-
pellant was prejudiced by error
in the trial judges charge to the
jury. Certainly the judge COM
mitted error-but I do not for
one moment accept the view that
the error resulted in prejudice to
the accused. :"
Proctor Changes Views.
Actually, it was only Judge
Proctor who changed his views. In
the original appeal which was
turned down, Judges Proctor and
CLARK saw eye-to-eye with Judge
Fahy dissenting.
Assistant United States At
torney Joseph A. Sommer, who
had argued the Governments case
in the first appeal said the Gov
|ernment consented to remandine
the case because it agreed with
Judge Fahy's belief that the trial
court had erred.
Weakley admitted at his trial
THAT he shot Mr.. Carnes twice
during an argument over funds
shortages. The defendant con-
tended Mr.. Carnes had first seized
him by the lapel and had reached
into his (Carnes1 pocket as il
labout to pull a pistol.
Sometime after Weakley was
convicted one juror told reporters
that he was not sure firSt-degree
verdict was justified.
During it's deliberations the jury
had asked Judge Curran to re-
peat his instructions as t0 the

the situation is temporarily
quiet since the outbreaks of the

has become more explosive. The
demand Of the Tunisians for q
larger degree of autonomy has
