D. T.. Mental Patient,
Freed Over Protest,
Returns 10 Hospital

Noah Weakley, a mental pa
tient, was back in st. Elizabeths
Hospital today. He had been
released by court order July 90
over the protest of a hospital
psychiatrist and arrested on a
police charge three days later.
. Weakley, charged with simple
assault on accusation of molest-
ing an 11-year-old girl. was re-
turned to St. ElizabethS this
week by Municipal Court Judge
Almond w. Scott on motion of
the Government.
To Await Hospital Report.
Judge Scott continued the
charge against the man until
September 80, pending a report
from the hospital.
Judge Scott had committed
Weakley to District General Hos
pital for mental examination
earl ylast month as a result of
the assault charge, which fol-
lowed his freedom on a writ of
habeas corpus by Federal Judge
Edward A. Tamm.
The United States Attorneys
office had moved for the COM
mitment and Weakley's attorney,
Emmitt Leo Sheehan, appointed
by the court to represent him in
the habeas corpus action, agreed
to the Government petition.
Last week, DR.. P. A. E. Steb-
bing of District General Hospital
reported to the court that Weak
ley did not have the presence
of any frank mental disorder or
psychosis," although he men
toned sigsn of previous mental
disorder.
Both Sides Agree.
This weeks action by Judge
Scott was both at the request
of the Government and the con-
sent of the defense.
Weakley, 43, of the 1900 block
of E street NE, had spent 10
years at st. Elizabeths after he
was committed by relatives as a
civil patient.
Mr.. Sheehan presented the
court later with an affidavit
from Weakley's sister, Mrs.
Linda B. Reed Of the E street
address, stating that her brother
had seemed perfectly normal
and happy" after his release but
then began acting strangely.
DR.. Winfred S. Overholser.
superintendent of st. Eliza
beth's, said Weakley was re-
leased from there despite pro-
tests of the hospital psychiatrist
who testified at the habeas cor
pus proceeding. He added that

Because of the inadequacy of

by dilapidated and unsanitary
housing, by high rates of disease,
crime and delinquency. and
peopled by persons of low in

said.
The Juvenile Court report said
that, in addition to delinquency
cases, there were complaints
filed affecting 319 dependent
children. The total of 5,35l
complaints represented an in

previous year.
Workers in the intake section
of the court carried case loads
averaging so. which was more
than so per cent above the ma
tionally accepted standard, the
court said.
Probation Section Overloaded.
In the juvenile probation sec
tion the effectiveness of the
work was affected seriously by
high case loads, according to the
report. The average load was
near 80 cases, or about twice the
nationally accepted standard.
The adult intake section pro-
ceSSed 2,495 cases involving sup
port of wives or minor children
or both. This was an increase
of almost Is per cent over the
previous year.
The adult probation section
supervised 2,760 persons under
court order for support of wives
and children, an increase of
nearly 13 per cent. Collections
by the court under support orders
amounted to $393,869, exceeding
the previous years collections by
$27.714 Besides that, money is
being paid under court order di-
rectly to mothers through allot-
ments from men in service.
In this section, case loads near
ing 200 are about three times the
nationally accepted standard.

newsmen word the ban on liquor
would extend into the quarters
they use.
All Office parties in State De-
partment divisions will be nom
alcoholic. And there were signs
the same rule would apply in
other Government departments.
Fearing bad publicity after
first ruling out liquor for the
press room fete, Mr.. Lourie let
it be known through an aide
that the department would not
call the cops" if the reporters
went ahead anyhow. The asso-
citation. headed by Donald Con-
zales Of the United Press. de-
clined the unofficial go-ahead,
