Mr.. Brogan in advocating the

Mr.. Speaker. House Bill SO,
which is up for final passage. known
as the parole law. is one OF the
most important bills from a hu-
manitarian standpoint OF view that
we will have 20 decide on at this
session. Its application TO the theory
that 10 err is human. but 10 for
give is divine, should prompt every
member OF this House regardless OF
party affiliation TO give It their ap-
prevail and earnest support.
This bill has been carefully pre-
pared by people who have a great
and unselfsh interest in uplifting
falling humanity and restoring
them TO their proper sphere in life.
THE late lamented Warden Nor
