Freed Mental Patient
To GET 3O-Day Test
In Assault Charue

A former mental patient, freed
from St. Elizabeths Hospital on
a writ of habeas corpus last
week, today was committed for a
30-day mental examination as a
result of a charge that he mo-
Tested an 11-year-old girl.
Noah Weakley, 43, of the 1900
block of E street NE, was
charged with molesting the girl
on Saturday, three days after
Federal Judge Edward A. Tamm
issued the writ freeing him.
Earlier this week Municipal
Court Judge Almond K. Scott
had refused to commit Weakley
for mental observation on the
grounds it would, in effect, over
rules the higher U. S. District
Court TO rthe District of Co

Today the United States At

commitment and Weakley's at
torney, Emmitt Leo Sheehan,
appointed by the court to rep
resent him in the habeas corpus
action, agreed to the Govern
ment petition.
In addition, Mr.. Sheehan pre-
sented the court with an affida-
Wit from Weakley's sister, Mrsr
Linda B. Reed, of the E street
address. Mrs. Reed stated in
the affidavit that her brother
had seemed perfectly normal
and happy" after his release I'M
til last Friday night. After Fri
day evening he began acting
strangely, she stated.
Judge Scott decided that on
the strength of the new motion
and the affidavit, he would be
able to order commitment for
mental examination.
Weakley had spent the past
10 years at st. Elizabeths after
he was committed by relatives
as civil patient.
DR.. Winfred S. Overholser,
superintendent of the hospital,
said Weakley was released de-
spite protests of the hospital
psychiatrict, who testified at the
habeaS corpus proceeding. He
added that Weakley was men

Eisenhower Group Plans
Americanism Program
BY the Assoeioted Press

KANSAS CITY, April 3.-The
Eisenhower Foundation, set up
originally to build a museum at
Abilene, Kans., the Presidents
boyhood home, plans to launch
an Americanism program in ele-
mentary and high schools.
Gov. Edward F. Arm of Kansas,
chairman of the foundations
finance committee, disclosed the
plan at a trustees meeting here
last night.
Although the program is not
yet outlined" Gov. Arm said, "its
purpose would be to get down
and tell what Americanism real
ly means"
Gov. Arm said the foundation
already has spent $130.000 on
the Abilene museum buildings,
which should be finished within
the next two months but needs
100000 to complete it.
Trustees agreed that before
launching the Americanism pro-
gram President Eisenhower
would be asked for his opinion
on the selection of educators and
other nationally prominent per-
sons to administer it.

Morse Says 6. 0. P.
Cracked Whip by
Taking His Key Posts
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Morse, the Oregon In
dependent who lost his major
committee assignments yester-
day because he bolted the Re-
publican Party. charged today
that "they cracked a political
whip on a man they couldn't
control"
Although it was the Republi-
can conference which dropped
him from the Armed Services
and Labor Committees, the Sen
ate voted. 81 to Z. against re-
storing him to the military
group. Senator Morse then
abandoned his fight for the La
bor post.
On a Nationwide television
program this morning, Senator
Morse said dangerous prece-
dent" has been set and added
that independents face an un-
precedented political peril as the
result of his loss of his former
committee places.
G. o. p. Defends Action.
Republican leaders contend,
however. that their action was
not punishment, but a step to
insure Republican control of the
important committees. They
also pointed out the Republican
conference complied with Sena-
tor MorSe's request when it re-
Trained from assigning him to
committees early yesterday.
Senator Morse contended that,
as the lone member of a
minority party, he was entitled
to get his assignments from the
Senate as a whole, but he also
argued for several hours yester-
day afternoon that, with one
exception. the precedents gave
him a right to remain on his old
committees.
In deciding the issue against
Senator Morse, the Senate
busted off and used an old rule.
requiring Senators to vote by
written ballot for committee ap-
pointeeS.
Rules Committee Action Asked.
Yesterdays Senate action
leaves only two committee places
open for Senator Morse-the Dis
trict of Columbia and Public
Works group. The law requires
that each Senator be given two
assignments, and Majority Lead
er Taft proposed late yesterday
that he be given those places.
Senator Morse asked the Sem
ate to leave him unassigned tenn
porarily while he tries to get
Rules Committee action on a
motion to enlarge the Armed
Services and Labor Committees,
so that he could be reinstated
without depriving the Republi-
cans of their majority.
