dered him paroied on December "a.
The change of fEont by the parole
commissioners on the question Of re-
leasing a prisoner for good behavior
after he has served nine months oc-
casioned great surprise and led 10
considerable discussion.
According to prison officials. James
l. Long, Superintendent Of Prisons.
who is a member Of the Parole Board
BY virtue of his position as head of
the prison department, was opposed
to the one-year rule when ii was pro
mulgated last month.

prosecution" he said, 4 did not make
any recommendation regarding his pa

point out, however, that ever since
Anderson was indicted and up to the
time, month or so ago. when the
Court of Appeals upheld his convic-
ton Anderson had been issuing state

of the grand jury which indicted, but
also Of almost every officer who had
anything to. do with his case
