Only One DC. Paro|ee
Of 400 Under Arms
Turns Offender
Boord Secretary Reports
Men Are Making Good,
Many Being Promoted

OF the 100 men who were under
the supervision of the District Pa
role Board when they entered the
armed forces, only one is known to
have required military punishment,
r. E. l.. Smith, executive secretary
of the District Parole Board, said
today.
The sole offender was court-mar-
tailed for impersonating an officer,
he reported.
From the letters the men have
written to the board, although they
are not required to report, as well
as from their visits, Mr.. Smith said
he judged the men were making
good despite their records.
One Offered Commission.
Some are sergeants now. One Of
the men was offered a commission
but declined it because he didn't
want his record disclosed. He is a
top sergeant.
About IS of the men volunteered
to enter the service from District
penal institutions These men are
now on parole until the expiration
of their sentences. Those in the
Jail, reformatory or workhouse who
volunteered after approval by the
Sd Service Command but were re-
jected at the induction station don't
go back to the penal institution,
Mr.. Smith said. They are also pa
rolled.
Only two of the 400 have been
discharged and one of these was
overage. About half the men have
served out their terms and are no
longer under the supervision of the
Parole Board.
Outlook on Life Changed.
"You can see the difference in
these men," Mr.. Smith said. Their
outlook on life has changed. They
figure they're just as much a part of
the Army as anybody else now"
Hundreds of other charges of the
District Parole Board are holding
war jobs and some are earning
larger salaries than the parole off,
GERS, said Mr.. Smith.
They are earning wages ranging
from $l00 to $500 a month, and one
man is making $500 month as a
mechanic. A number are working
in the Baltimore shipyards. some
have gone to Portland, Greg, and
many Of them are working in 10
cally needed" activities here-laun-
dries, garages and auto repair shops.
Mr.. Smith said number OF them
are using the skills they learned in
prison shops to earn a good living
while on parole.
