ical society's annual scientific
assembly.

and DIR. Bryan Blades of George
Washington University Medical

problem than married men. The
lone people are harder to get
home by the II pm. curfew
their whereabouts harder to
track.
Other Conditions Listed
Some of the other conditions
of parole--not to drink any in
toxicating beverages, not to live
with any woman not ones law
full wife, not to drive a motor
vehicle-are hard to enforce
with 80 individuals to watch.
Z With an obligation both to
rehabilitate the parolee and
protect the community, there is
a fine line to tread. What minor
violations can be overlooked with
Just a warning? When should
Ia parolee be sent back ito the
institution"
In addition to the field work,
supervision and the constant
hunt for jobs and lodgings, there
are records to be checked.
When a man is granted parole,
before he comes out the field
officer must go over the records
prepared by his colleague at
Lorton. There must be a trip
to police department records to
check his former hang-outs. to
find out what his old habits were
that got him into trouble.
Five Were "Sent Back"
And supervision includes more
than checks on the parolee. His
family. his friends and his
employer are all quizzed. Efforts
to settle a parolee in a happy
home and a secure job take
much of the officers time.
There are conferences with
the chief parole officer, APP
pearances before the board.
There are records to keep
written reports from
each case to check and record.
All this means that after an
BIS am. to 4:45 pm. scheduled
working day. there often are
evening calls. It's more than
an eight-hour-a-day Job.
But it gets done. So far this
year, only five of Mr.. Avery's
cases had to be "sent back. /"
There are a few other doubt
fuls." and for them, Mr.. Avery
says, its just a matter of time
before they are back in Jail.
The others will probably

MIR. MARCHAND saw some
Of the arrows deea in Viz
ginia. They pointed north
and wound up eventually at
Upper Marlboro.
There were some north of
there on Route 4, then on
Route so to Bladensburg road,
up Bladensburg road, more on
Colesville road and into Silver
Spring, where he'd seen them
originally.
They seemed to be mark
ing route around Washing
ton," Mr.. Marchand says. But
If that were so, l don't see
how 1t would be much of a
time-Saver, the way it winds
around"
Oh anotner trip, he noticed
more arrows, pointing north
into Maryland, at least as far
as Frederick.
To confuse the picture even
more, another traveller said
he'd seen similar MARKINGS
deep in Arkansas-pointing
the way east toward Missis-
sippi.
Tony Ellison, of the Dis
trict's Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, didn't know what
they were, but he has a couple
Of theories. Maybe, he said,
they're put there by sports
car enthusiasts or maybe
they're some kind of utility
company markers.
Jack Robertson, Distric t
Highway Director, said he
didn't know either. Sports car
owners said they doubted the
arrows marked a sports car
rally route, since the sports
car rallies usually cover a
much shorter distance.

A practical new test to de-

has occurred is being readied

man to take the ambulance back
to the hospital. The man did,
about seven hours after the am
bulance had first gone out OF
service.
Hospital officials meanwhile
had reported the ambulance
missing and asked police TO look
out for it.
No charges have been filed
against Mr.. Cremins, but the
hospital ambulance chief, Robert
E. Hyde. asked him not TO work
Yesterday. The B-CC squad oi-
Irectors suspended MIR. Cremins
and appointed a three-man i'm
vestigating team to report on the
case tonight.
District General Hospital has
nine f1rst-aid men who make am
bulance runs. All nine are also
members of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase squad. which is a volun-
teer organization.
Mr.. Cremins said District am
bulance equipment is so poor
that the first-aid men have to
use some Of the squads equip
ment in the vehicles.
Too Much Authority
Although the first aid men
are all experienced, he said, the
drivers are given too much
authority. He pointed out that
he himself has made more
than 10000 rescue calls" in the
seven years he has been with
the squad, the last three as
chief.
He said the Districts set up
"stinks." He said that's why
the squad makes so many runs
into the District. The District
has one of the worst systems
in the country - not enough
ambulances, rotten equipment
and no management at all,
while our squad is the best in
the country"
He said that three weeks ago
he wrote long letter to Com
missioner Robert E. McLaugh.
lin detailing his criticism Of the
system. He said Mr.. McLaugh-
lin had thanked him for the
letter and said he was turning
II over TO Commissioner David
B. Karricx for further study.
The District has four ambu-
lances on emergency service.
Two are at District General. one
at Emergency and one at Cas-
ualty Hospital. The Bethesda
Chevy Chase squad alone has
five ambulances, Mr.. Cremins
said.
Mr.. Hyde said the hospital
would take no action before to-
morrow. He said that Mr..
Cremins' taking the body direct
ly to the morgue might have
been JustifabIe in the circum-
stances but that there was no
apparent excuse for taking the
ambulance out Of the District.

Traveller Puzzled
BY ChuIked Poles
BY JACK JONAS

Who chalked up the tele-
phone poles?
Jack Marchand, out in
Silver Spring, has been won-
dering, and now he's got US
wondering, and nobody seems
to know.
Mr.. Marchand has been see
ing chalked arrows on utility
poles from way down in Vir-
ginia to way up in Maryland.
He saw them first out in his
own neighborhood, delineat-
ing a circuitous route through
Silver Spring. 1t would be
more correct to say he sort of
half-saw them, because they
didn't make too much i'm
preston at first.
"Just thought it might be
someone marking out a local
route to a picnic or some
thing" he said.
Then the puzzle deepened.
On various trips, he began
noticing them elsewhere.
"They seemed to follow a
definite route" he said. But
I've seen SO many of them
now that I can't conceive of
anyone taking that much
trouble. 1t would be a lot of
work for one person to make
all of them"
In certain places, he says,
they go beyond mere arrows.
At some points, after an
arrow has marked a definite
left or right turn, the mo-
torist continuing straig h t
ahead will find, a block or
two further along, a huge
circled mo" on a pole, to
warn the traveller he's of his
route.

THE PEOPLE at the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone
Co. said they had no idea
what the markers we're. They
don't like it very we'll when
someone marks up their poles
The Potomac Electric Power
Co., which owns most of the
utility poles, said they weren't
even aware the arrows had
been put on, and after check
ing around, added that it
hadn't been done by any of
their people.
The American Automobile
Association, which deals with
motoring and routes generally.
couldn't offer a solution.
Neither could the American
Trucking Association, al

certainly didn't mark a truck

He cajoleS or DULLES. He is

Case Load Is High
The case load standard for
one officer set by the National
Probation and Parole Association
is so. Mr.. Avery, whose load is
average, has 80 cases. The parole
board would like to be able to re-
duce this average.
He is one of three field officers
who handles general releases
from Lorton. A fourth handles
I"good-time release" cases-those
who have served their full terms
but are out of prison on good
