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.

for life imprisonment; second
degree which carries mandatory

.The court dwelt upon the is
sue of intoxication at length
during his 43-minute instruc
tion. 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, '

Cities Seek to
Double Quotas
Washington, April 21 OT
Treasury officials reported to
day that many communities have
re-set their sights in the record
breaking $13,000,000,000 second
war loan campaign and are now
trying to double their original
quotas.
This development was report
ed as sales passed the $10,000,
000,000 mark and signs pointed
to achievement of the goal well
in advance of the three week
deadline.
Because of the enthusiastic
response throughout the coun
try, treasury officials said, many
communities already have
reached or passed their quotas
and now have starled out to
double their original goal.
"Double the quota" has be
come the slogan for those com
munities. Despite the record outpour
ing of funds, treasury officials,
including Secretary Morgenlhau
expressed disappointment at the
sales of bonds to individuals
and made plans to concentrate
more heavily on this group dur
ing the next two weeks.
Up to last Saturday these
bonds series E, F and G ac
counted for only $403,000,000 of
the total collected in the first

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."
