OLD PAPERS KEEP
 BOYSCOUTS BUSY
Over 10000 Pounds C0l= Iected in Week-HOuSe=
 holders Aid Movement

Boy Scouts in Waterbury have collected more than 16,000 pounds of old paper and magazines during the past week. it was reported today by Scout Executive David F. Babson of the Mattatuck council. MT. Bab- son pointed out the above figure is only the amount which has been thus far reported to him, and esti- mated 16,000 pounds more had been collected during the week and not yet reported to council headquarters
 The total amount collected by the local Boy Scout organization since the drive for waste paper was launched has now mounted to ap- proximately 75 tons, the scout execu- tive added.
 All troops in the local council, which includes several outlying towns as well as Waterbury proper, are swamped with calls from house. holders who have bales of old paper ready to be collected. MT. Babson urged today that the best procedure for residents of this vicinity to fol- low is to get in touch with some scout that they know personally, in regard to collection.
 Numerous requests for scouts to make collections have been received at council headquarters, the scout executive said, but it is difficult to arrange for collections through this office, which is not in direct contact with the several troops, and is not acquainted with their weekly sched- ules of activities. Householders will get prompt action by calling up a scout in the neighborhood or off, cials of nearby tropo, MT. Babson said.
 The troop can then arrange date for collection-generally a Saturday afternoon. Usually truck will be furnished by a troop committee member, or a parent of one of the boys, and the paper can then con- veniently be picked up and sold by the scouts.

PULLAN0 PLACED
 ON PROBATION
Youth Held on Assault Charge-Given Chance
 of Rehabilitation

James Pullano, "A, of 5O4 West Main street, will be given an oppor- tunity for rehabilitation, according to a ruling by Judge Robert L. Munger at session of the criminal term of superior court today.
 Pullano yesterday pleaded not guilty to a charPe of assault in- volving a 4-year-old child. Today, through his attorney, Edward Mas colo, he entered a plea of nolo con- tendere.
 In view of the lack of a criminal record, and the arguments of Atty. Mascolo, who pointed out that the youth possessed a low order of men. tality which made him without re- sponsibility for hi, behavior, Judge Munger requested States Atty. Will liam B. Fitzgerald to explose the possibilities of obtaining employ ment for Pullano on a farm.
 The case will be continued until next Tuesday, and sentence to the reformatory will depend upon whether farm work has been secur- ed for the accused.
 Commenting that Pullano dis played evidences of a pathological state of mind, and the I. o. of a six-year-old" Judge Munger said that adequate means of supervision could prevail only on a farm. The youths home environment, accord ing to J. dge Munger, would not be suitable or exercising control over his behavior.
 Pullano was bound over from municipal court last September 18. Atty. Mascolo said that he had been confined to the New Haven county jail since that date, unable to pro- duce bc..d set at $500.

Lone Jap Holds Hawaiian Island Until Benny Kanahele Got Mad

By BETTY MCDONALD (NEA Service Staff Correspondent

 Honolulu, Jan. Five days afte. the world knew that the United States and Japan were at war, a Japanese pilot, wearing a Japanese uniform, wandered peacefully at large on the Hawaiian island of Niihau.
 He had landed his plane, out Of gas, on one of the most amazing islands in the world, and as he walked through the only village there, he was unmcleSted by the peace-loving Hawaiian natives.
 Because there are no telephones or radios on Niihau, which is 100 miles from Pearl Harbor, the in habitants did not know they were at war.
 Only 180 Hawaiians and two Japanese live on this forbidden island, owned by the wealthy Robin son family, direct descendants of a feudal homesteader, Mrs. Elizabeth Sinclair, who settled there in 1864.
 The Japanese aviator was an in congruous addition to that happy Island population, when he was discovered by band of Hawaiian cowboys.
