ANNAPOLIS. July 24.-State Pa
role Director F. Murray Benson says
he is too easy on criminals-he
doesn't parole enough of them.
Prisoners who serve their time
under present Maryland law go
scot free on release from jail, Mr.
Benson said.
Prisoners released on parole be-
fore their sentence is up 60 back
to society under supervision of State
parole officers. The State sees that
they have jobs waiting for them and
families ready to help them cross
back to normal life.
Those Society Forgets.
Parole now lis a good program
for the strong, not too good for the
weak" Mr.. Benson said. He would
like to see the law amended so that
all prisoners get parole-type sup
ervision when the Jail doors swing
open.
Felons considered unworthy Of
parole serve longer terms than
PAROLES, but they are on their own
after leaving Jail. Society forgets
them-until perhaps their names
show up once more on some police
blotter.
Mr.. Benson, in a recent report as
director of the Division Of Parole
and Probation, disclosed:
These men are in greater need Of
counsel and adjustment to COM
munity living than the average
parolee, and against this group So
ciety is entitled to the greatest de-
gree of protection"
Prison Year Is 10 Months.
Mr.. Benson said he has asked the
State Commission on Prison Con-
troll, Parole and Probation to recon-
mend to Gov Lane that State penal
laws be amended to provide for post
prison supervision over all ex-in-
mates.
He has asked for % more parole
officers to help his present II en-
force the proposed program.
II know of no prisoner who ever
served his full term" Mr.. Benson
said. A prison year actually runs
only 10 months, since under Mary
land law a prisoner can earn days

Far-reaching improvements in di-
agnosis of a serious eye ailment are
expected from a recently developed
instrument-only one of its kind in
use-which was installed at the
George Washington University Hos
pital last week.
The instrument is a space eikono-
meter which determines whether a
patient sees. objects larger or smaller
with one eye than with the other
and indicates the amount of diff
ference.
Sufferers from the malady-called
aniseikonia-develop symptoms that
range from complaints that their
eyes are tired to dizziness and dis
torted vision. Some patients COM
plain that round objects look OBJ
long.
The most universal complaint,
doctors fsaid. is from patients who
have never been able to get prop
erly fitted glasses.
Takes Up Less Space.
Until recently, apparatus for dag
nosing aniseikonia occupied an en-
tire room at the G. w. hospital, &C

From CIarksburg, Camp at Field

Ruling Expected
On Jurisdiction
In Transit Fares
Joint Tickets Good
Through Tomorrow
In Extension of Day

Justice Alexander Holtzoff may
decide in District Court tomorrow,
at the behest of a perplexed Capi-
tai Transit Co., whether the Inter.
state Commerce Commission or the
Public Utilities Commission has
jurisdiction over streetcar and bus
fares in Washington.
He will preside at hearing on
suit filed by Capital Transit ask
ing for a declaratory Judgment that
the District PUG is the sole rate
fixing agency for public transpor-
tation within the District.
Justice Holtzoff is expected to rule
tomorrow on Capital Transit re-
quest for q restraining order pro-
tecting the company from penalties
for failure to obey conflicting PUG
and ICC orders on the validity in
washington of joint fare tickets sold
to Virginia Washington COM
muters on Virginia lines.
In the meantime, it was an.
nounced that, pending the courts
action, the joint fare tickets would
be accepted by the transit company
until 1901 am. Tuesday.
Share Is 5.S3 A Ticket.
The PUG says the Capital Transit
Co. must stop accepting the tickets
by Tuesday. The ICC Just as firmly
declares the company must con-
tinue to sell and accept the tickets.
The PUG objection to the tickets
is that, while they are sold for 1915
cents each, Capital Transit receives
only 5.83 cents as its share. A year.
old PUG order states that Capital
Transit must not accept less than
10 cents for cash rides.
Capital Transit attorneys filed
the suit for declaratory Judgment
last week when 1t became appar-
ent that the company could not
obey the PUG without disobeying
the ICC, or vice versa.
The confusion was climaxed yes
terday when Attorney General Clark,
United States Attorney George Nor
ris Fay and the Washington, Vir-
ginia & Maryland Coach Co.
launched court actions in support
of the ICC stand.
A motion filed by two of Mr..
Clark's assistants asked dismissal Of
the Capital Transit suit.
Deadline Extended.
Later in the day, ICC counsel ap-
peared at District Court and filed q
suit for an injunction that would
prevent the Capital Transit Co.
from ,obeying the PUC's cease and
desist order. The company had an
rotnced Friday 1t would stop ac-
cepting the joint fare tickets at
1901 am. tomorrow
Then, Attorney F. G. Await, rep-
resenting Capital Transit, attended
a conference of the contending at
torneys in the chambers of District
Court Justice James w. Morris. He
agreed, following the conference, to
extend the deadline "a hours until
1901 am. Tuesday.
Thereupon, the ICC Withdrew It's
injunction suit.

For example, a man sentenced to

The same man, by law, would be

An Additional Safeguard,
If his period of confinement has
done little to change his anti-social
