For example, he might see an “hour parking” sign and pull into the curb only to learn that parking is pro- hibited there between 8 a.m. and 9:30 am. or 4 pm. and 6 p.m. The visitor might find himself con- fronted by a sign forbidding him to park between 10 am. and 2 p.m. on school days without knowing just what days are school days in Washington. On other streets he would see by the signs where he could park for 15 minutes between 9 am. and 3 pm, but could not park at all from 8 a.m. to 9 am. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. One visitor found a sign turned up- side down. It informed him one hour parking was allowed between 9:30 a.m and 4 pm, but that parking was banned from 8 am. to 9:30 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “It's hard enough to obey all those signs,” the visitor said. “But when you have to get out of your automobile and stand on your head to read one, that’s making it pretty tough, don’t you think?” Other motorists complained that many signs had become so weather- beaten their words were no longer legible.

GUARDS TO BECOME “CUSTODIAL OFFICERS” Move to “Professionaiize” Prison Bervice, Divorced From Poli- tics, Bennett Says. By the Assoc'ated Press. LEAVENWORTH, Kans., April 17.— James V. Bennett, director of the Fed- eral Bureau of Prisons, said today the men who watch the inmates of Fed- eral penitentiaries no longer will be known as “guards,” but as “custodial officers.” Bennett, in an interview following a two-day conference of Federal prison officials here, said the new term was being adopted as part of an effort to “professionalize” the prison service which, he said, has been ‘“definitely divorced from politics.” Warden J. A. Johnston of Alcatraz Prison, explaining why he would not discuss the big names of the crime world who are in his island strong- hold, said: “You know there are many men in prison today who are there merely because of their display. They have been exhibitionists. We take their identity away from them.” BURGLARS ROB STORE Fairfax County Official Loses $75 in Merchandise.
