Propaganda Victims
Won't Be Secluded
By the Asseeintsd Press

MUNSAN, Aug. Am Army
spokesman tonight told news
men they will be allowed to in
terview returning prisoners sus-
pected of having fallen for Red
propaganda if the doctors ap-
prove and the repatriate himself
agrees to talk.
This is reversal of the policy
enforced three months ago,
when the Army threw a tight
guard around sick and wounded
former captives they felt might
have succumbed to Communist
propaganda.
Maj. Paul Capron, jr., of New
York informed allied corre-
spondents tonight that "only
medical reasons will prevent a
repatriate from being inter-
viewed if he desires to talk to
the press"
Asked by a reporter if this
included captives felt to have
embraced Red propaganda in
the North Korean camps, Maj.
Capron replied. "Yes."
A number of disabled POWs
were secluded and not allowed
to be interviewed in the ex-
change which began last April.
A planeload of disabled men
flown with secrecy to Valley
Forge, Pa, hospital after the
disabled POW exchange COM
planned bitterly that they were
segregated from the others and
it cast reflection on them.

any conversion to Communist

aside from the technical diff

been raised which render doubt
full the advisability of passage of
the bill in the manner suggested.
No hearings have been held by a

there absence of a legislative
record in the form of hearings,
there has been no action or even
any discussion of the measure by
any committee of the Senate.
"The bill involves a question
of policy with reference to ad-

week, will go to trial on Thurs
day. charged with moleSting an
11-year-old girl.
Noah Weakley. 43. of the 1900

cused of molesting the girl last
Saturday. Only three days be-
fore. Judge Edward A. Tamm,
of the United States District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia had issued >writ of habeas
corpus freeing him from the hos
pital.
Weakley'S attorney, Emmitt
Leo Sheehan, appointed By the
court to represent him in the
habeas corpus action, asked Mu-
nicipal Court Judge Almond K.
Scott to send the defendant to
Gallinger Hospital for mental
observation.
The attorney told the court
any other judge would have is
sued the writ last week after
hearing the evidence presented
by the Government and the de-
fense.
Rehearing Suggested.
Judge Scott pointed out that
If he should commit Weakley
for mental observation. it would,
in effect, overrule a higher Dis
trict court. He refused Mr.. Shee-
hans request.
At the same time, the jurist
suggested that either the de-
fense or the Government ask
the Federal court for a re-hear-
ing on the habeaS corpus writ.
Weakley had spent the last 10
years at st. Elizabeths. after he
was committed by relatives as a
civil patient.

perintendent of the hospital, an
nounced yesterday that Weakley
was released despite the protests
of a hospital psychiatrist who
had testified at the hearing. He
added that Weakley was men

mentally i'll when he left"
Not Considered Dangerous.
Hospital authorities said the
defendant had a record of con-
stantly becoming involved in
minor difficulties. but that none
of them had been serious or
violent.
The hospital psychiatrist. ac-
cording to Mr.. Sheehan, testi-
fed last week that Weakley was
not considered dangerous and
that he performed his assigned
maintenance work eXcellently.
Police declared Weakley met
the 11-year-old girl and her g.
year-old sister in an alley near
the girls home on Saturday.
Police say he led the older one
into a garage and that officers
were summoned when the
younger sister told their mother
about the incident.

der $1,000 bond.
