Santa Fe New Mexico ex servicemen who are first offenders in the state penitentiary may gain parole under a plan by the Montaya Post of the American Legion. Larry Bynon chairs the committee to secure paroles for first offender veterans and has already seen two men released. The plan requires an honorable discharge, being a first offender, serving at least six months, a home post to sponsor and provide a job on release, plus guaranteed transportation and expenses. One veteran lacks a home post as his missionary parents were in Japan and were killed in the war.
