100 Linger in Prisons
Waiting Jobs for Release

ALBANY, N. Y, May 5 (P.-
Wanted: Jobs for LOO men-so
they can get out of prison.
The men have paid their debt
to society, in New York State
institutions. They have been APP
proved for parole.
But they are free in name
only, because the law says they
must find a job before they can
be released. So they linger on
in their cells. hoping that to-
morrow might be the lucky day.
For some, the tomorrows have
stretched on into weeks, and
months. Some have waited six
months-a few up to a year.
They could be out, If they only
had a job.
That's the picture painted by
Charles S. Antolina. deputy State
commissioner of correction. The
problem is not new.
The Correction Department.
Parole Division and other State
agencies are about to launch an
effort to wipe 1t out. or diminish
it drastically.
Mr.. Antolina said q program

would be announced soon to cope
with the question.
About 1000 men are paroled
annually from State correctional
institutions. Besides meeting all
other qualifications, they must
be assured of a job.
Convicts are given a new suit
and a $40 bill when they are
turned loose. They also take
with them what few dollars they
might have saved from salary"
earned in prison employment.
If they do not have jobs and
cannot get work, they soon be-
come desperate for money. Some
would revert to crime to make
their way.
Not having job assurances,
men are placed in a category
known as "or earlier" For ex-
ample, the parole board may
specify that the man may be
released in six months or earlier.
Then he is given six months in
which to find a job. If ne Sc
cures Job chances are he will
be given final clearance at the
next monthly meeting Of the pa
role board and released earlier
than the six-month period.

SobeIoff Gets
Backing al Quiz
Senators Weigh
Support, Charges
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Federal judges, Maryland Sen
Iators and spokesman for bar as
Isociations disputed charges by
Senator Johnston. Democrat of
South Carolina, before Senate
subcommittee today that Solicit
tor General Simon E. Sobeloff
was involved in conflict-of-in-
terests case in Baltimore.
They urged that Congress APP
prove. without further delay
President Eisenhower's nomina-
ton of Mr.. Sobeloff as judge
on the United States Court of
Appeals for the fourth circuit.
The hearing before a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee headed
by Senator O'Mahoney. Demo-
lcrat of Wyoming, was the first
time that the Sobeloff appoint
ment reached that stage of pro-
ceedings.
Nomination ReSubmitted
Mr.. Sobeloff, who has been
serving as Solicitor General al
most two years, was first nomi-
mated for the judgeship last July
but the Senate did not act on the
matter. President Eisenhower
submitted the nomination again
last January but. mainly because
of the opposition Of Senator
Johnston. no hearing was held
until today.
The South Carolina Senator
was unable to attend the session
because of previous engagements
in his State. He filed a volumi-
nous document contending that
Mr.. Sobeloff was unfit for the
ljudgeship and asserting that his
conduct in conducting an in
vestigation of the affairs of the
Baltimore Trust Co. in the 1930S
raised grave questions.
Senator Johnston charged that
Mr.. Sobeloff. when appointed by
the Baltimore City Circuit Court
for that investigation, accepted
the job despite his previous en-
ployment by a group of stock
holders of the company. SEN
ator Johnston charged that this
adversely affected the interests
of Mr.. Sobeloff's earlier clients.
He also asserted that Mr.. So
beloff used the condolences and
information obtained from these
former employers to his SUISSE
quent advantage to such an ex-
tent that he sought to force,
through court action, enforce
ment of agreements to his
personal advantage"
Backed by Associates

well as several present or former
Federal judges and United States
attorneys told the subcommittee,

NAT0 10 Give
'3WiseM Men
Planning Job
Dulles Suggestion
Adopted in Drive
For Co-existence

GA4t@0g 4sACAJ ~ W u - AN AVA = ~
foreign ministers agreed today to
entrust their next moves in the
battle of peaceful co-existence
to three wise men," as suggested
by the United States.
British sources said the min
listers of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization Council in
dorsed the proposal at secret
session. T
United States Secretary of
State Dulles made the proposal
yesterday in a survey of NATO's
future in the political anG eco
Inomic domains, saying the or
ganization should be strength
ened in those fields. British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
supported the proposal today.
Mr.. Lloyd urged the appoint
ment of Canada's Lester B. Pear
son. Italy's Gaetano MARITIME,
and Norway's Harvard Lange as
the three wise men" to map
out a plan for NATO's develop
ment. They are members of the
NATO Council.
Would Seek Support
The major goal would be to
win over the uncommitted peo-
Piles of Asia. Africa and the Mid
die East to the Western side,
| British sources said that while
the Dulles idea was Endorsed this
morning. the council did not get
around to naming any individ-
uals for the assignment.
The three foreign ministers
would be asked to work as in
dividuals instead of as repre-
sentatives of their governments
in hammering out a joint plan
for bulwarking NATO in the
political and economic fields.
The three would work from
! a base of the various proposals
advanced yesterday.
French Foreign Minister Chris
Itian Pineau had to leave today's
meeting to cast his ballot in the
French National Assembly where
Premier Guy Mollet had de-
manded a vote of confidence fol-
the governments old age pen
sion plan.
NATO officials said Mr.. Pr
Ineau's absence probably would
upset the NATO councils tight
schedule.
Manifesto Being Drafted
Earlier. a five-man ministerial
committee met to draft a mani
lfesto restating NATO's ideals and
objectives for the new era of So
Wet smiles and economic bland
ishment aimed at capturing un-
committed millions in Asia
Africa and the Middle East.
Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak
who spanked the new policy
statement, presided over the
drafting group. NATO officials
said some work remained to be
done.
The ministers acted on the
basis of an appeal from Mr.
Dulles to move toward closer po-
litical' and economic co-ordina-
ton. Several ministers submitted
proposals on this point.
Will Meet Challenge
The manifesto was expected to
be confined to an expression oil
determination to meet the new
Communist challenge on political
and economic fronts.
Mr.. Dulles said the West had
checked the advance of COM
munism at this point but warned
that RusSia's trade-and-aide Of
Ifensive if it succeeds might bring
a majority of the worlds peoples
under Communist rule.
Mr.. Dulles said the Atlantic
community must keep its de-
lenses strong, foster economic
relations with the underdevel-
oped countries and work out
differences among NATO men,
bers through expanded consulta-
ton.
