Vermillion, a member of the Board of Probation and Parole, said Mitchell could be released in 30 to 35 days if the board approves one of several plans for employment and living arrangements submitted by Mitchell. Howard Eisberg of Kansas City, Mitchell’s attorney, said he believed Mitchell would be paroled to a half way house in Springfield, Mo. Mitchell was a student at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield before he entered prison. “He’s just sort of taking things as they come for a while,” the father said. Garwood returned to duty United Press International CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Accused turncoat Pfc. Robert R. Garwood returned to duty at this Marine base Tuesday and was given a clerical job until au thorities decided whether to put him to trial. The 33-year-old Garwood, a former prisoner of war who re turned to the United Sates last March after spending 14 years in Vietnam, is accused by fellow POWs of deserting and col laborating with the North Vietnamese. “We are confident we will prevail in charges against Pfc. Garwood,” said civilian defense attorney Demont Foley. “We ask no favors from anyone.” Garwood has declined to speak with reporters since his arrival on the base Monday night. “We don’t want him put on display,” said his military attor ney Capt. Dale W. Miller. “Right now he is trying to get himself acclimated. He has not been on active duty on a military base in quite some time and he doesn’t know anybody.” Although there have been predictions an investigation into the case might take months, Woggon said today the investiga tion “could be completed in rela tively a short time, a matter of weeks or days.” Garwood has denied the alle gations and contends he was cap tured in a September 1965 inci dent in which he killed two enemy soldiers.
