Ey the Associated fless.
CREMONA, Italy, Aug 2.-The
newspaper II Regime Fascista assert-
ed today Italian youth would choose
Fascism if it had to decide between
LOYALTY to the Fascist state and Catho.
lie action.
The newspaper is published by Ro-
berto Farinacci, former secretary Of
the Fascist party and an anti-Semitic
leader in Italy.
It's statement evidently was in
spired by Pope Plus declaration last
Thursday, during his discussion Of
Fascist racial doctrine, that:

Pope dies" (The latter was inter-
preted to mean dies spirituality

INCREASE SOUGHT
BY PAROLE BOARD
Larger Staff Needed to Meet
Problems, Members Tell
City Heads.
Ry DON s. WARREN.

Reporting that the "pitiful economic
situation" has made It almost "hu-
man impossibility" to find jobs for re-
leased prisoners, the District Parole
Board today pleaded with the Commis-
sioners to grant an increase in its staff
to afford better control over hardened
criminals who have served their time.
The board, in its report for the past
fiscal year, drew sharp distinction
between prisoners let out on parole and
those who are automatically released
on completion Of their sentences, less
good time allowances-both subject to
Parole Board supervision-and de-
clared the latter group constituted the
greatest problem.
Figures compiled by the board
showed that of 1868 prisoners who were
free on parole during the past year, A.
or nearly IL per cent, were arrested
for violations of law or rules of the
board. OF 100 men said to have been
honorably discharged on parole during
the year only committed new crimes
that could be called serious
Board records showed that during
the past year it had total of GA
prisoners under its supervision who
were let out on conditional release (not
parole) and that there had been revb-
cations in l27 cases, or about 20 per
cent.
A surprising disclosure was that As
per cent of the total number of pris-
oners who last year had become eligible
for parole had refused to apply for
their release. The board attributed
this to the bad records of the men or
a desire to keep their relatives from
knowing of their incarceration.
During the past year the board con-
sidered 744 cases for parole and took
favorable action in ~ per cent. while
rejecting the petitions of the other 70
per cent.
The board renewed its oft-stated
plea for legislation authorizing a sep
arate budget for the Parole Board
staff. to make it entirely independent
