an extent that a critical situation
exists. The law should either be
modified or a change made in its
administration"
This was the recommendation
made today by the March grand
jury and it substantidtes frequent
charges that the present parole law
is ineffective in it's aim, that it
greatly interferes with the efforts
of the police to combat the cTimi-
nal hordes and affords many loop
holes through which convicts and
desperate criminals with long ano
ugly records can carry on their
murder and pillage and laugh at
the forces of law and order,

tion of our laws for themselves and
