Even the most hardened crimin- al can stage a comeback and emerge as a useful member of society, J. Alex Edmison, QC, a
. member of the recently establish- ed national parole board said in Charlottetown last night.
In ar address delivered at the ‘Chariottetown Hotel and releas- ed to the press in advance of de- livery, Mr. Edmison told the Can- adian Club that the files of the former Canadian Remission Ser-

Mr. Edmison said that the parole board must be satisfied that a prisoner had really chang- ed for the better before a parole was considered. For instance, in
' eass where alcoholism was con- sitiered a factor in the inmate’s crime, the prisoner must show an interest in the AA services available to him.
SINCERITY NEEDED
It was likely that parole would be granted if prison re cords would show that the in- dividual had made a sincere ef- fort to better himself like work- ing in the prison garage and be- - having well. :

Post-parole supervision of the prisoner was merely a case-work service designed to help the in- dividual resolve his or her prob- lems through the support, guid-

» BOARD'S GOAL
“The goal is restoration of the parolee to his rightful place in society as a useful and law-abid- ing citizen,” Mr. Edmison said.
To protect the public the board may at any time suspend parole, revoke parole, or order that par- ole be forfeited.
Suspension might be ordered in the case where a parolee shows obvious signs of changing resid-

News Guild Faces Suit
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hearst Consolidated Publications Inc. Tuesday filed a $6,000,000 damage suit against the American News- paper Guild. f
The suit, filed in federal dis- trict court, alleged that the Guild circulated libelous and injurious falsehoods involving the New York Journal-American.
The Guild is a union represent- ing editofial workers and other employees on many newspapers — and news services. ,
The suit was based on a story in the Oct. 23 issue of The Guild Reporter and a press release in which the Guild said it had urged the justice department to investi- gate whether there was an agree- ment between Hearst and Scripps - Howard to divide the U.S. newspaper market. ‘
The complaint said this mater-— ial was published and circulated with knowledge that there“was no basis “for statements that the Journal-American was about to be absorbed by the New York World - telegram and Sun, a Scripps-Howard publication.
The complaint said Hearst has been damaged in its reputation, in its financial and competitive standing and in its ability to con- tinue harmonious, relations with its employees. ;
The allegktions in the com- plaint are basically the same as in_a $3,100,000 suit that Hearst Publications filed against the Guild Oct. 30 in New York.
