who is not too strict. You see
PAROLES are subject to a lot Of
very strict rules - can't drink in
bars, must be home by II, can't
consort with other ex-convicts,
etc. - but my guy gives me some
Ieniences.
Also, he's pointed out that in
New York State, since the parole
system began in 1880, only IA
per cent of all the PAROLES have
committed newcrimes n per cent
feIonies). That gives me conf
dence that by cooperating with
him ] can stay straight.
But more than anything else,
the thing that will keep me
straight is the memory of prison.
No crime is worth that. I'm just
too scared Of prison discipline,
solitary confinement, tough
guards, and all the rest ever to
risk it again. If l had known
what prison was really like, if
someone had shown me a real
prison when ] was IS, ! think
things would have been different.
PsyChiasxists Needed
If ! had had some real guidance
and help in those early days,
that too might have turned me.
But | have said there are not
nearly enough psychiatrists and
trained social workers to 60
around. And prison psychiatrists
have SO little time for each man
it's laughable. Until there are
enough = and that's a long way
off - the only thing that makes
sense to me is a strict prison that
will scare a man away from
crime. (Of course, the prison
should not be so strict and tough
that it makes the prisoner bitter
and resentful.)
However, let me emphasize
that a man won't stay scared if
his community rejects him.
That's where the ordinary citi-

are reading this article - come
into the picture. Give us

Spring

Sure signs of spring are

just one major sign that the
big shift in the weather is
about to take place.
Other fashion markers on
the spring road include the
daily trips to the florist that
many women make to pick up
that single rose, that one red
or white carnation to pin on
their coat or suit. The fresh
flower advocates are joined by
a fair share of other women
who are buying clusters of
pretty garden flowers that

Young Lutheran Postor
On TrioI for Heresy'

Mr.. Crist said he will attempt
ito prove that his beliefs CON
stitute a permissible point of
view within the Lutheran
Church.
The trial centers around l8
sermons delivered by MIR. Crist
earlier in the year. He said the
semons accurately reflected his
views and added he would not
recant any of his preachings.
The specific counts against
him declare Mr.. Crist denied the
virgin birth of Christ, the physi-
lcal resurrection of Christ, the
occurrence of some miracles and
the certain effects of prayer.
The trial prosecutor. the Rev.
Charles Burmeister, Al, of Mari
lnette, Wis, appointed to the
task by the church, said the trial
lis a significant event in Lu-
Itheran history. The synod is
declaring itself on the doctrine
of deviation. It will not tolerate
teachings in conflict with the
faith that it officially processes.
DR.. Paul Bishop of Minneap-
oils, synod president who is at
tending the trial as an admin
Iistrative official, said there is
nothing final about this trial.
The majority of the committee
must bring in its verdict and
recommend a penalty, but it's
all subject to review by the
synod convention. The conven-
ton meets here May Is, 1856.

Northwest Synod of the United
Lutheran Church imposes such

The trial, first in the 60-year
history of the synod, is hearing
charges that Mr.. Crist "adulter-
ated the word of Cod and mixed
his own opinions and surmises'
with the Scripture.
The penalty, if a finding of
guilty is returned and upheld by
the Synod convention in 1856,

iators and leaders say unflatter-
ing and frustrating things about
the 12-man groups activity OF
inactivity as a parliamentary

But Congress-including the
occasionally stymied Senate

possible the fatalistic idea that
it can't live with or without the
House Rules Committee at this
late stage in the session.
Despite all the talk concern
ing-and during-RuleS Com

public finds comparatively little
chance to become familiar with
its operations and personalities

methods differ greatly in pur-
pose and procedure from thost
