Finsley Talks On Paroles Parole and marriage are alike In that only the bad ones make the headlines, Fred Finsley, state director of parole and pro bation, told the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. Eighty-five per cent of men released on parole make good and no institution, either church or schools, has a 100 percent record, he asserted. The parole system is the least understood of all state depart ments or activities, Finsley said. Parole does not carry the ele-. ment of forgiveness or clemency and is not to be confused with probation or released under "good time" credits, the speaker said. Under parole a man serves out the remainder of his sen tence while still under jurisdic tion of the state. Daily, 215 men and women in the nation are released from penal institutions, Finsley said. Approximately three percent of those received die in prison and the average term is only two years. From an economic stand point, he said that it costs $300 a year to keep a person in pris on while parole supervision costs from $50 to $60 each. All those released should be under super vision until they prove they can readjust or rehabilitate them selves. Save one in a dozen, and the time and money spent is justified, he said in closing. The club set May 11 for the annual ladies' night program.

If the jurors found the evi dence showed Folkes was intox icated at the time he made his alleged confession of the crime, Lewelling said, this fact should be considered although intoxica tion does not make a confes sion inadmissible as evidence unless the person making the confession has lost possession of his faculties. As to intoxication at the time of the crime, Lewelling said that if the jurors ascertained that the evidence showed Folkes was intoxicated, this should be weighed. But he stressed that intoxication does not excuse a crime. "Intoxication, in the main," he said, "should be weighed in deciding the degree of guilt." The court warned the jury against permitting the "sym pathies, sentiment and public approval or disapproval to sway you in reaching a verdict " Folkes remained impassive, seemingly bored, during the court's instructions, ' Predicts Offensive Against Japanese Wellington, New Zealand, Ap ril 21 (U.R) Walter Nash, New Zealand minister to the United States, - predicted today the Americans will put a force into the Pacific this year "which will leave Japan gasping."

He said that policy did not mean that there would be no offensive action against Ja pan, however. 28 Axis Vessels Sunk at Palermo Allied Headquarters, North Africa, April 21.

"It was just sight, track, shoot and sink," said the 36-year old Miami, Fla., officer, Besides the eight ships, total ing 37,000 tons, the Wahoo dam aged a ninth and wrecked a trawler and two sampams. The sinking were all achieved within one week's time. For the two patrols, the first in January, the total tonnage sunk was 69,000. Morton admitted he got a thrill one night when a Ja panese tanker's five-inch shell fell close to the Wahoo's bow, forcing the Wahoo to submerge. The submarine resurfaced later and sank the tanker wilhin 45 minulcs. "The same night we sighted and tracked a small freighter," Morton related. "We surfaced and sank him by gunfire short ly before daylight. "While we were sinking him another small ship showed up. At first we thought il too small to bother with but it turned out to be a small, neat diesel powered freighter. So we turned to on him. I don't know why he didn't run. We closed fast as we could on the surface and sank him by gunfire. The men love to shoot the guns because so many participate and see the battle. The submarine's crew formed ' the Wahoo commandos and pleaded with their commander for permission to board that trim little freighter. "They wanted to board her and get fresh fish before she sank but the weather wouldn't permit it," Morion explained. As soon as the Wahoo had neared combat area, the crew tuned in on the Tokyo radio. "The Japs gave us a propa ganda broadcast that the sub marine menace had been eras ed," Morton said, "then we got nine ships in seven days (eight sunk, one damaged). But the boys want you to tell the Japs they are tired of so much Xylo phone music. Every program is full of xylophones."
