The editorial said the most frequently heard question during the legislative fight was "how can four osteopaths have more influence on our legislature than 1,800 doctors." There are only four osteopaths practicing in South Carolina. The Medical Journal editorial stated that the most important factor in passage of the osteopathic legislation "was one osteopath who attended the legislature while it was in session almost constantly for the past several years.

He knows all the legislators and they know him on a first-name The osteopath is Dr. Ernest A. Johnson of Summerville, who made the 200-mile round trip to and from the state capital more than 120 times in seven years. No Move Made To Pick Up AWOL Soldiers SOUTH BEND, Ind.

Sept. 3, 1969 8 Check On Parolees Parolee Louis Ray Garner, right, listens intently as Joyce, Gallante and Larry Brooks discuss a case in a Central Area bar. Parole officers often bars such as this in their search for missing parolees who can drop out of sight for weeks in Seattle's ghetto area.

Former Prisoners Now Working For The Law By ERNIE HOOD Distributed by NEA SEATTLE, Wash. (NEA) The district, dismal and dilapidated, is known as the Central Area. It's four miles square and some 50,000 blacks live there. The summit of their hill overlooks Skid Road. At the turn of the century, loggers sloshed through muck to skid logs of new-fallen timber to the waiting mill below.

It's still a fast trip downhill, as the Central Area's record of crime and violence testifies. The population includes at least 400 ex-convicts still on parole. An untold number of others in the area have records but have "done their IN THIS ATMOSPHERE, five convicted felons, all black and three still on parole, are engaged as state parole officers in a project called "'New Careers." They divide their time between classroom work and on-job training in a pilot program of the U.S. Department of Labor that could be applied nationally if their efforts meet with success. Bill Wienke, immediate supervisor of the five, says: "They're good.

They can get through walls of silence that others can't." Each of the five has been assigned 15 to 20 parole cases, and they maintain close touch with them in personal interviews to review their progress. also do pre-parole and job replacement investigations. While they can't make arrests, they can and do make recommendations that result in sending parolees back to prison. None of the five has any reluctance about public identity with the program. LARRY BROOKS says, "The more people who know me, the better contacts I have to reach and help those I want to help." Brooks, 29, is still on parole after serving 19 months for burglary and an earlier violation of parole.

Married and father of two, Brooks gets takehome pay of $270 a month from the $359 salary paid to trainees. He takes on part-time employment to help get by. He worked with a 31-year-old robbery parolee from St. Louis "who liked to be known as the St. Louis Kid a guy who liked to doll up in fancy clothes, run around with the girls and gamble." Brooks recalls: "The St.

Louis Kid's money had to come from some place. The Kid was winning some at gambling, and the gals were helping him, too. But his luck couldn't hold and he knew it. He visited my place one evening and I finally got through to him. He'd taken welder training in prison, so I helped him land a job.

He's earning $170 week now. He still likes to wear those flashy clothes. It's more comfortable to know they're paid for." Another of the trainees, Joyce Gallante, 23, still on parole after serving 12 months on a grand larceny charge, is attending classes now at Bellevue (Wash.) Community College and eventually plans to transfer to the University of Washington. I bachelor's degree is required for eventual appointment as parole officer. MRS.

GALLANTE, mother two, gave birth to her youngest chid while still in prison. She says, "I try to get my people think. Some have to learn the hard way. I don't want to see them go back to prison. I've been there." Others making up the quintet are Leydell Baker, 24, off probation now after serving two years on a burglary count; William Hosea 27, still on parole after serving 23 months for robbery and assault, and Dave Grant, 23, still awaiting sentence on a second-degree burglary charge.

"I grew up with this boy right here in the Central Area." Hosea relates. "'He was always mad at the world. Scowled the time. Well-built and a sharp athlete, but seemed to have East Germans Arrest American Whose Mother Lives In S. C.

WASHINGTON (AP) A 23-1 year-old American whose moth- at er lives in Charleston, S.C., has been arrested in East Germany. The State Department said Tuesday William T.

He said the study covered approximately 8,000 interracial marriages. Monahan noted the findings "contradict previous public opinion that interracial marriages don't have a chance of succeeding," but he declined to make any long range interpretation on the data from just one state.
