Young Veteran, an Ex-Convict,
Wants to Sell Eye for SO, 900
Penitientiory Record
Dompens His Hopes
Of Lending q Job
By WoIIoce {. cIoyton

Harry F. O'Neil, a healthy young
Army veteran, wants to sell one
of his eyes.
He thinks it will solve his prob
lemS-problems which have been
piling up for some time now.
His asking price is $4,000. This
he thinks, is not unreasonable.
IF I was blind and had the
money, I'd be glad to pay that for
getting my sight back" he said
There must be someone in this
position"
Mr.. O'Neil came to The Star
last night with his offer. He said
he had thought it over carefully
during the last few days. He
said he has had a lot of time to
think because he's been looking
for job. So far he has been
unable to get a job because he's
an ex-convict, he said.
Mr.. O'Neil was released from a
Virginia penitentiary about a week
and a half ago after serving two
years and eight months of a four
year sentence for robbery. He
got time of for good behavior.
No Jobs for Him.
Since then, he said, he has
been to nine or 10 places looking
for jobs. He has admitted his
jail record to each prospective
employer. In each case, he said,
he was told he could not be en-
|ployed because of that record.
"The only thing for me to do is
get out of town, get away from
people who might know me, and
try to start my own business" he
said. "Then nobody could come
along and fire me because I'm an
ex-con."
He thinks that with the money
he might get for his eye he could
start a small service station some
where down South"
Hes worked around machinery
much Of his life. He said he's
been a truck driver and a bus
driver since he started out ION

they would have to have some ad-

will have several months in which

BALTIMORE, Dec. 20.-The

would like to see a parkway built

that Maryland shall have easy

it was put forward several years
ago. The proposal calls for dual

ing grounds along the old high
way.
Chairman Russell H. Mccain of
the roads commission said he un-

vide easy access to the Potomac.

The commission also said pro-
visions should be made for con-
Meeting Maryland highways with
the parkway at reasonable points
and it wants assurances the park
way will not become a barrier be-
tween the river and adjoining pri-
vate land.
The commission said if the
parkway could be secured mere

right of Way-with the Federal
Government defraying all con-
struction costs-it would be a very
worthwhile investment"
The Board of Natural Resources
has argued the parkway would
injure fish and wildlife and block
off future industries.
