spot study, says some 400 mentally ill war veterans pose the biggest
problem for the Veterans* Administration in Texas.
But, the Congressman emphasized, expansion of VA facilities
in South Texas is needed and presents another major problem.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. <AP) — A
newspaper reporter who started
home for supper a few minutes
early because it was a “dull eve-
ning” wound up writing his own
kidnap story after being robbed
and left gagged in a lonely wooded
area near here.
Less than half an hour after
reporter BUI Woolsey broke his
bonds and called police from a
farm home, two alert Nashville
officers arrested two men and
charged them with highway rob-
bery.
Police Identified them tentative-
ly aa Perry William Moore, about
33, and Joe Sicurella, about 30.
Moore said he escaped from Kilby
Prison In Alabama in November.

highway robbery. However. Kilby
officials said the man may be Earl

—Quenching the thirst of 47
swelling cities that contain more
than a fourth of the total popu-
lation of the 11 western states is
the never ending task of the Met-
ropolitan Water District of South-
ern California.
Newest undertaking is the Gar-
vey reservoir in the foothills bor-
dering this Los Angeles suburb.
It involves moving 3.600,000 cubic
yards of earth. When completed
in 1955 the reservoir will have a
capacity of 489 million gallons of
water piped from the Colorado
River.

Japan's Pay Phones
Off Honor System
TOKYO (AP)—Japan’s public
telephones are going off the honor
system.
Patrons will have to deposit a
coin before they chat. Heretofore,
they were on their honor to slip
a 10-yen coin or bill (about 3
cents) into a box beside public
telephones after the call.
That system didrt’t work. But,
complained the customers, neither
did the telephones—most of the
time.
The boxes were yielding a rash
of nasty notes about the service,
an occasional IOU, used facial tis-
sues by the pound, a general as-
sortment of other debris — and
very little money.
The telephone-company estimat-
ed that 85 per cent of the calls
were on the cuff. However, it has-
tened to add. most of the “dead
beat” calls were wrong numbers.
Wrong numbers flourish in the
Japanese telephone system. It is
the best in Asia.
