Parole Is War Record Wins Him Release From Sentence He Jumped in '41 JEFFERSON CITY, June 4 Bishop's war record won his release from a Missouri reformatory sentence he jumped" in' 1941. The state parole board interviewed the 24-year-old navy veteran for less than a half hour and decided to parole him as soon as: he is assured of a paying job. Un- i til he gets the job he will'be held! at Algoa Intermediate reformatory where he escaped nearly six years ago with only eight months left of a 2-year sentence for tampering with a motor car. He worked his way back from Honolulu to surrender voluntarily. He said he'still wants to return to the islands after his parole period is completed.

Sandy-haired and chunky, Bishop stood stiffly erect as Thomas- E. Whitecolton, penal director, 1old newsmen of the parole beard's favorable decision. Proudly, Bishop said he still is in the navy reserve. One reporter wished him "lots, of luck" and he replied: "I've just; had some." He was convicted when he was' 18 years old, escaped at 19, then: got married and joined the navy: in swift succession. He and his wife have three children and he got into- a little trouble when the second arrived.

"I went over the hill to see my wife and the kid," he explained. Bishop was court-martialed but sentence was suspended and he returned to active duty as a crew member of-a navy patrol bomber. He was released from the navy at Pearl Harbor last year and started work in a deep freeze plant in Honolulu. He quit his job last month and worked his way back to the West coast on a freighter. From there he hitchhiked to Missouri to complete his time in the reformatory.
