Freed Mental Patient
Seized in ; Days as
MoIester Of Girl, II

A mental patient freed from
st. Elizabeth's Hospital by court
order was charged with simple
assault after he was accused of
moleSting an 11-year-old girl
three days following his release,
police said today.
Charged was Noah Weakley,
43, of the 1900 block of E street
NE.
Police said Weakley tried to
kiss the girl after he led her into
a garage near her home in the
1400 block of Morse street NE,
District Court Judge Edward
A. Tamm issued writ of habeas
corpus freeing Weakley from st.
Elizabeths last Wednesday. The
charge was lodged against him
Saturday.
Release Was Opposed.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent of the hospital, said
the release was granted over
protest of a hospital psychiatrist
who testified against granting
the writ of habeas corpus.
Two previous attempts by
Weakley to obtain his release in
1851 and 1852 were unsuccessful.
"He (Weakley) was mentally
i'll when he came here (to st.
Elizabeth's) and mentally i'll
when he left" DR.. Overholser
said.
Weakley had been in the hos
pital 10 years. He was commit
ted by relatives as civil patient.
Viewed as Poor Risk.
DR.. Overholser said that
Weakley always became involved
in minor difficultieS" when he
was permitted to mingle with
other persons. He said hospital
officials did not consider Weak
ley a good risk for release.
Police said Weakley apparent
ly had never been in trouble with
the law before the weekend in
cident. They said he met the
1t-year-old girl and her 9-year-
old sister Saturday in the alley
near their home.
After he led the older girl into
garage the younger girl went
home and returned with her
mother, who called police.

RefIeetorized Tape Ruled
Illegal on Car Fronts
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 29.-The
State Department of Motor
Vehicles warned today the red,
ref1ectorized sticky tape which
has become a popular safety
signal on cars should be applied
only to the rear of a car.
Thomas B. r. Mudd, commits
sioner of motor vehicles, said he
and the State Law Department
have determined it is illegal to
put it on the front.
The reason for this is that the
state law designates red as the
marker for indicating the rear of
a vehicle. If lot of cars blossom
out with red tape on front
bumpers, you won't be able to tell
whether they're going or coming.

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 1.-two
Virginia oyster boat captains
face court action in Leonard

dredging in the Potomac River.
John P. Tawes. a member of

Ironically enough, the arrests
we're made at almost the same
hour that Gov. McKeldin praised
the Commission for Kidding the
river of dredgers. It was the first
such action in the last two years.
However, it is no secret that

Western Shore Bloc
Of Democrats Proves
Strength in House
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-West-
ern Shore Democrats fiexed their
legislative muscles today after
asserting themselves as a new
factor to deal with in the House
of Delegates.
Delegate A. Gordon Boone of
Baltimore County, instigator of
the grouping together of 27 dele
gates, parried most questions
about plans laid by the new eau
GUS" But its potential strength
was demonstrated right after it
organized yeserday.
The Western Shore legislators
rallied the House to override
Gov. McKeldin's veto of a 1852
act involving the treatment of
fines paid to magistrates courts.
The measure nigh have been
easily defeated. as were eight
others rejected by Gov. Nc
Keldin after the last session, ex-
cept for the Western shoremen's
campaign. After they acted, the
House voted 98-17 to override.
Delegate Manahan of Howard
County was named chairman of
the Western Shore bloc, Delegate
Risteau, Hartford, vice chairman;
Delegate Jackson, Baltimore, Sec
retary, and Delegate McNulty,
Anne Arundel, treasurer.
Miss Risteau said the group
did not intend to "be obstruc-
zionist" Instead, its strategy
appeared to be one of screening
legislation and attempting to Off
set the potency of other groups.
The House division into blocs
now is similar to that in the Sem

Democrats were split at last
known count IL to Z with the

Sanitary Board
In Alexandra
GetsCharter
Bond Issue Planned
For Sewage Plant
After Organization

The Virginia State Corpora
tion Commission has granted a
charter of incorporation to the
Alexandria Sanitation Authority,
the first such agency created in
the State under legislation en-
acted by the 1850 General AS
sembly.
City Attorney V. Floyd Will
liams said he received word from
the sec today that the charter
was granted, effective Januery
13. The authority was estab-
lished by the City Council to
build the community's first sew
age disposal system.
Bond Issue Is Next.
Mr.. Williams said the five au-
thority members will meet to or
ganize and elect officers in the
near future. The next step, he
said, will be to float bond issue
to construct the disposal facility.
The commission granted the
charter permitting three alter
native disposal plans. as re-
queSted by the city. One, cost
ing ST million, would serve the
city alone: second, costing
about So million, provides for a
partial joint system with Fair
fax County. and the third cost
ing $9.2 million, would provide a
more complete Joint program.
Mr.. Williams said Fairfax
County soon must decide wheth-
er to come in on one of the
joint arrangements. The Fair
fax supervisors have stated their
desire to participate in one Of
the joint endeavors, but have not
made a definite commitment.
The most complete joint ar
rangement would be the cheap
est for both jurisdictions, ac-
cording to engineers estimates.
Alexandria officials say the
Joint systems could be easily
financed by having the authority
issue the full amount of bonds
with a written agreement from
Fairfax that it would pay OFF IT'S
share.
Service Charges Estimated.
The authority can issue bonds
without a referendum. It must
retire the bonds with sewer
charges and has no power to
levy taxes. Engineers have esti-
mated the service charges would
range from rs per cent to 80
per cent of current water bills,
depending upon which of the
three alternative programs is
adopted. The lowest rate would
result from the most extensive
combination system with the
county, they say.
Members of the authority,
elected by the City Council. are
Albert A. Smoot, w. T. Wilkins.
Linwood Reed, Chester Pierce
and L. H. Dudley.
