Bill 10 Revise
D. {. Parole
Code Requested
Commissioners Seek
Broadening Of Federal
Authority Over Setup

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee today consid-
cred introducing a bill at the re-
quest Of the Commissioners to re-
wise the local indeterminate sem
tence and parole law.
The principal change proposed by
the Commissioners would give the
Federal Board of Parole jurisdiction
over prisoners who have violated
their parole and have been trans
ferred to a penal or correctional
institution designated by the Attor-
ney General.
When a parole violator, by order
of the Attorney General, is confined
in some other penal institution than
those of the District of Columbia,
the Federal Parole Board would
have the power to revoke the parole
granted by the local board.
Primarily, it is the desire of the
Commissioners to bring the District
indeterminate sentence and parole
law closer in conformity with Fed
eral law.
Curtails Police Judge Authority.
The proposed legislation would re-
move from Police Court judges their
present authority to determine the
good-time allowance for a prisoner
and provides that all persons con.
victed in the District for any of.
fense, including violations of mu.
nicipal regulations, shall be com.
mitted to the custody of the Attor-
ney General.
In addition, the local Parole Board
would be given authority to permit
a prisoner on parole to 60 to some
place other than his home, but he
would remain in custody of the
Attorney General instead of the In
stitution from which he is paroled.
The parole period also would con-
tinue until expiration of the maxi.
mum term without regard to good
time allowance.
Governs Minimum Sentence Ratio.
Courts under the proposed plan
could not impose minimum sem
tence in excess of one-third of the
maximum actually imposed This
change, the Commissioners explained.
would bring the District law more
nearly in accord with the Federal
parole law since the maximum sem
tence imposed would be exactly
one-third of the maximum the pris-
oner would be eligible for parole.
The Commissioners pointed out 1t
has happened frequently" under
existing law that the time elapsing
between the expiration of the mini
mum and maximum sentence i'm
posed is too short to permit proper
application of the parole law an
fact the Commissioners declared,
there are instances where the
maximum sentence, when reduced
by the allowance Of good time. ex-
pires before the prisoner has served
his minimum sentence"

regarded ii as the dawn of last

Those dreams were not realized.
The events of recent years have
been shock to all who pray for
peace. In Europe. in Africa and in
China there is bloody conflict. or

1t is common in referring to mod

old inhuman brutality still exists.
The ancient Hebrews went forth to
slaughter both man and woman,
infant and sucking, oxen and
sheep We thought that we had
come a long way from the saw
agery of olden times, but when We
witness the indiscriminate and
wholesale bombings OF today, we
know that war will always be war,
with increasing destructiveness.
The Unknown Soldier will this
year be honored only in America.
The grim business of war will pre-
vent such an observance in England,
France and Italy We shall CRATE
fully remember the boys who
crossed the seas, and rededicate our
selves to the objective of staying
out of war.
In order to achieve that end we
must be willing to cooperate with
everyone everywhere in sincere
effort to promote the spirit of broth
erhood and goodwill And, per-
haps. when this war is over land
democracy is saved) we shall be
hard headed enough to set up some
sort of machinery to render further
conflicts impossible.
It is the duty of true religion to

gressive world opinion that shall
outlaw war. It was soldier. Field
