This was revealed yesterday in a detailed study of sentences given during the past 10 years.

Under the system in effect here, the Circuit Court judge pronounces the maximum sentence. Three months later the Parole Board recommends a minimum. This recommendation then comes before the judge, who may approve or change it. The exact figures for the 10-year period, beginning in 1954, are: 1,381 Board recommendations reviewed. 1,079 approved.

108 increased. 194 decreased. This indicates that of every 14 recommendations, 11 are approved by the judge, two are reduced and one increased. The maximum sentence is determined by statute, with certain terms spelled out for the various types of crimes. The minimum set doesn't mean that the prisoner inevitably remains behind bars for that period.

If he stays out of trouble, the minimum may be reduced as much as one-third to give him a reward for his "good time." Most lenient of the judges during the period studied was Circuit Judge William Fairbanks. Out of 188 Parole Board recommendations sent to him, he decreased the minimums in 82 cases. He increased five and went along with the Board on 101. At the other end of the sentencing spectrum was Circuit Judge John F. Dyer.

Of 83 Board-recommended mini-mums which came before him, he creased 33 more than one-third of the total decreased 10 and approved 40. Circuit Judge Samuel P. King approved all 14 Board recommended minimums which he heard. Judge Allen R. Hawkins approved 61 of 62 and reduced the other.

Judge Frank A. McKinley handled 171 Board recommendations, approved 154, increased 10 and reduced seven.

LBJ Sees No Dramatic Change In U.S. Conduct Of Viet War TOKYO (UPI) Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai accused the United States yesterday of "continuing to raid" Communist North Viet Nam from the air and by sea. He said the Chinese "will never sit idly by when aggression is committed against their brotherly neighbor," North Viet Nam. Chou said China would not allow the United States to "ride roughshod in Indochina." The Chinese premier spoke at a reception held by the Albanian embassy in Peking on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Liberation of Albania. His remarks were transmitted by the New China News Agency and monitored in Tokyo.

North Viet Nam had charged earlier yesterday that four warships of the "U.S. and Jts henchmen" had shelled a village Friday i in Ha Tinh province on the North Viet Nam coast. Disclosed U.S. planes were to fly Belgian paratroopers out of the Congo last night. He said there was no alternative but to use U.S.

planes for the rescue operation to save "perhaps thousands" of lives. Mob ish Embassy across the river from the Kremlin. The well-organized students equipped with loud speakers which cried for imperialist blood especially that of Americans and Belgianswere protesting the American-Belgian rescue operations in the Congo a move they denounced as "aggression." The mobs smashed all the front windows in the U.S. and Belgian embassies, burned and battered automobiles, scuffled with police and looted the Congolese Embassy of diplomatic documents, pink papers they scattered on the frosty ground as they surged through the streets. Dozens of Americans might have been killed except for the U.S.-Belgian airlift, he told a news conference.

The State Department re CAPE KENNEDY (UPI) America rocketed a spacecraft on an accurate cours toward Mars yesterday tt get the first closeup pictures of the planet which scientists believe may harbor life. The Mariner IV probe, equipped with a television camera, is scheduled to complete its historic 325-million mile journey in 71i months, intercepting the Red Planet on July 14. The craft late last night (11 p.m. EST) was 122,430 miles from earth heading toward Mars at 8,218 miles per hour. Scientists said Mariner-lV was following a path well within the steering limits ot its own rocket engine, which will be used for course correction maneuvers.

The 575-pound spacecraft's maneuvering rocket, capable of changing course by about 1 million miles, is expected to be fired next week. It also has the ability for another course correction if needed. If no midcourse maneuvering was attempted the probe would miss Mars by 200,000 miles. The spacecraft will be aimed on a path that will take it within 10,000 miles of the Martian surface to give its television camera and electronic eyes and sensors a 30-minute glimpse of the planet that has intrigued astronomers for centuries. Mars, a predominately reddish colored planet with some greenish blue areas and white polar caps, is given the best possibility of any planet in the solar system to support some tvpe of life.

Bones May Pinpoint Battle Site CHRISTCHURCH, England (UPI) Archaeologists are studying recently unearthed bones that may reveal the site of one of King Arthur's most famous battles, it was reported yesterday. The speculation concerns the discovery of two skeletons by a farmworker in an area about 100 yards from the Bradbury Rings, between Wimborne and Biandford in Dorset. Archaeologist Reginal Storey of Christchurch said he believes there are probably more bones buried at the spot and confirms the site of the Battle of Mount Ba-don in which King Arthur was said to have crushed an army of invading Saxons about 500 A.D. Storey said "I feel certain that these bones mark the war cemetery in which at least 1,000 men were buried after the battle." Ufa, JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPI) President Johnson warned yesterday against 's a premature" speculation that the South Viet Nam war would be spread to Communist territory.

Johnson also tossed an indirect barb at French President Charles de Gaulle in criticizing "narrow, national self-interest" in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). He apparently referred to De Gaulle's threat to quit NATO because the U.S. is backing a NATO nuclear fleet plan. The President said he expected no "dramatic announcement" from his scheduled meeting in Washington Tuesday with Gen. Maxwell D.

Taylor, U.S. ambassador to the war-torn Southeast Asian nation. In his first formal news conference in eight weeks, the President stressed Viet Nam as he ranged over subjects that included the next budget, terror in the Congo, the price of steel and J. Edgar Hoover's quarrel with Negro integration leader Martin Luther King Jr. Replying to another question on future U.S.

policy in Viet Nam, the President said: "I think that we will American people," Johnson said. The President said he will send a general message to Congress early in the year and then follow with messages on specific subjects. He said there will be "heavy emphsasis" on natural beauty, conservation, education, health and measures to aid the economy. He said the space effort, weapons systems, scientific studies and unemployment benefits' modernization also will be stressed. The President also: Doubts that the budget to be given to Congress in January can be kept below the magic ceiling of $100 billion.

Wants strike-free settlement of steel industry contract negotiations that will not bring a rise in prices. Expects occasional changes in the cabinet but hopes for reasonable continuity in top posts. Feels "outraged" by the slaughter of hostages by Congo rebels and hopes those guilty will be brought to justice.

Gov. John H. Reed of Maine, whose state went to Johnson along with the rest of New England on Nov. 3, said in a separate telephone interview he felt the leadership change can be achieved "gracefully and tactfully." And he said it could be launched at Denver. "I'd hoped we would be able to arrange conferences with Senator Goldwater to work this out," Reed said.

"We need a change at the national level to get the direction of party back on the moderate philosophy." The Republican National Committee will meet Jan. 22-23 in Chicago.

Robert E. Smylie, chairman of the Republican governors' group, said in a telephone interview he expects a "new, broadened mechanism" of party leadership to emerge from the Denver conference. And he indicated that moderate governors, unhappy about the party image created in Goldwater's campaign under national chairman Dean Burch's direction, want to provide the momentum for change. "We're not going to let the architects ot disunity be the unifiers," he said. "There has to be a change, and a change of faces." But there was no assurance that Burch's immediate replacement as chairman would come out of the governors' meeting.

Johnson listed four bills he wants to see passed early in the next session of Congress: The medical care for the aged under Social Security (Medicare); the Appalachia bill; the Area Redevelopment Administration bill, and a bill to scrap the so-called "national origins" system in the immigration laws that Johnson feels are discriminatory.
