Mueller, the well-known Avalon hotel picket, isn't walking anymoic--he's setting. Henry, it can now bo said without any fear of contradication, the, man of 62 who was arrested this week a Milwaukee department store and sentenced to six months in the house of correction. When arrested by Detective John Teevaii, Mueller refused to icveal his true identity and said his name was Fred Hemy Smith of Kilbourn avenue, Milwaukee, When the Kilbourn address was checked it was found to be an empty lot adjoining a schoolhouse, Tecvan asserted. Later Mueller told a police cap- he was not telling the truth and a he was really a resident of Wavkesha and lived on West avenue. His occupation, he said, was a picket for a hotel and restaurant employes union in Wau- keha.

Also Was '-Picker" Detective Teevan was skeptical everything Mueller told him and a search of his pockets revealed that besides being a picket ihc also a "picker." What, kind of a picker? Teevan was asked. "A lock picker, of course," the detective replied. "I3e not only oatricd what we call a picker, but he also had a skeleton key. This fellow is an old timer in the business, having been arrested as early as 1918 for burglary and since then no had been brought In for laicciiy tor being and for a number of other offenses going way back In Mueller's pockets at the time of his arrest was $44.35 in small change, a pair of ladies gloves, a bottle of cheap perfume and seven packages of rubber bands. The detective said attempts are still being made to link the small change with some oC the "smaller jobs pulled off around Milwaukee." Kuhber Bands His "Hobby" While on the picket line in front of the Avalon hotel, Mueller was a great one for snapping rubber Henry F.

Mueller bands He would haul one out every now and then and snap a youngster who passed him, but the bands had a more' practical value, detective disclosed. Mueller had several of them stretched around his waist at the time of his arrest. The detective bureau has this is an accepted device for storing goods which have been "lifted" from store counters. When asked why Mueller was hired to do picketing work at Wau- kosha, a member of the union which has picketed the Avalon for nearly 4. said it "is tough gettng- fellows to do that, kind of work." Mueller was a good steady-walker, he said, a.nd the way it has turned out he's now got a steady job of sitting.

State Parole Board Defends Its Decisions, Denies Leniency Charge MADISON, (U.R)--The state parole boaid has not become "softhearted" in granting paroles to prison and reformatory inmates, Allan Bayley, stale welfare director, said today. In to recent criticisms of the state's parole system, Bayley told the public welfare board today that there has not been any major increase in the of paioles granted. The criticisms stemmed the of a University of Wisconsin student last month because one of the student's killers, Buford Sennp.tt, had been paroled from the state reformatory a a befoie the slaying and admitted other crimes while he was on parole. Bayley submitted figures to the board showing that the percentage of prisoners paroled from the two institutions had not varied great- tly in the last eight years.

This year 35 per cent of prison Inmates applying for parole received it and 25.3 per cent of the reformatory's parole applicants were paroled. For the reformatory, the percentage was the lowest in eight years and for the prison th'e percentage was second lowest.

VFW Asks Death Penalty for Murder and Rape Soat-Vergenz post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, today was on record here favoring capital punishment "for any person convicted of first degree murder or for the crime of rape where records of the conviction are clear and unmistakable." A resolution adopted by the post will be forwarded to district headquarters and if the district favors it, the state convention of VFW will be asked to vote on it.

It declares that, "Under the laws of the state of Wisconsin a person or persons sentenced by the courts to life "imprisonment in our state prison is eligible for a parole or pardon after he has served up to 15 years."
