He said the abduction occurred as he was stopping his car on the Texas City High School parking lot about 8 a.m. Tuesday. His escape was made near Kant, 51 miles west of Pecos. Rollins said the car broke down there after being driven at speeds topping 100 miles per hour for most of the day. One man kidnaped Rollins, the youth said, and then picked up two other men in the car.

Highway patrolmen Warren Nutt and Fred Parrott arrested three men Wednesday afternoon at Kent.

Chet Brooks of Pasadona has announced that he plans to introduce a bill in the 62nd Legislature which would require county tax assessor-collectors to inform persons attempting to register to vote of any deficiencies in their application Forms, Under the current law, the tax assessor-collector Is required to register a person who submits a properly executed application, but he Is not under any legal obligation to inform a person whose application has been rejected. "A person may make a good faith attempt to register by mail, but his application can be denied without his knowledge," the senator said. "A person who forgets to put his age on the application or who signs the application in the wrong place runs the risk of discovering several weeks or months later that he has not been registered and cannot vote in the important 1970 election.

A person whose application has been rejected should be notified and given a reasonable time to correct the errors or omissions even if the registration deadline has expired." Sen. Brooks said the inequities of our voter registration laws can be remedied only by adopting a system of permanent voter registration, but unless the State is willing to enact a permanent registration aw, we will be forced to resort to this type of stop-gap measure. The senator reminded voters of the Saturday, Jan. 31, registration Anyone, including persona who will not be 21 until February, 1971, must register by Saturday if they to vote. To Convention THE SCHOOL board has agreed to send two representatives from the board and one administrator to the National School Board Association's 1970 convention in San Francisco April 11-14.

Erecting signs on city property is in violation of the mittee that a traffic hazard exists on Felton Street. Gunn said the street is being used as a thoroughfare and that it is inadequate for such use because of too many curves and being too narrow. The street runs through residential area. He said the hazards caused some drivers to lose control of their cars and crash into homes and parked cars. Albert Fanestiel, a member of the committee, recommended that the city install rumble strips, flashing stop signs and two 30 mph speed limit signs.

After the discussion, the committee decided that the police department should check car speed on the street by radar and should make a traffic count there. Reports on the studies will be presented to committeemen at the next meeting. The city has received requests for providing a left turn from Main Street onto Ward Road. Cannon said the committee has investigated this and it was felt there is not sufficient traffic there to warrant the action. Other members present for the meeting included Police Sgt.

Police chief Rankin DeWalt said in Texas City that he expected additional charges to be filed here. Young Rollins is the son of Mrs. Cetha Rollins of Texas City. He apparently suffered no harm. The youth saidhis captor stopped at a gas station between Wharton and Austin, "so I tried to get out and grabbed their loaded shotgun and fired both barrels into the seat of the car." "That made them pretty mad," he related, "and one of them grabbed the gun and reloaded it.

Later on, past Austin on the way toward Dallas, they locked me in the trunk. That was after dark." The car was kept moving at speeds exceeding 100 m.p.h. most of the time, he said, "and it finally just went (broke down)." "I think they knew 1 could hear them from the trunk and they'd say tilings to scare me. I guess it did, because I kept wondering if they really meant it." After the car was abandoned, Rollins said he waited about five minutes before working to get out of the trunk, "I already had a socket wrench ready to go, but I yelled first to see if they were there. When I didn't get any answer, I loosened the two bolts on the lock and got out In just a few minutes.

"I wasn't sure where .1 was when I got out of that trunk. I thought I was in Oklahoma. It's really a shock when you don't know where you are." Rollins was not missed until shortly after mid-afternoon Tuesday when he failed to go home from school. His mother called Vernon Linton, a brother of her employer in Texas City, expressing fear that something had happened to her son. Linton checked and high school officials told him Rollins had been absent from school all day.

About 7:30 p.m. Tuesday Linton notified Texas City police that the youth was missing volved and complicated business." "I've been in the operating end of the telegraph business for some 40 years and hardly a week goes by that 5 do not learn something new," he remarked. Under the agency set-up most incoming telegrams would be given over the phone from the Western Union in Houston to bypass the agent and save the commission paid, Provost said. Telegrams will be subject to more relay than under the present setup of sending into the Baytown office, according lo this union official. "In the past, offices were considered on the basis of how much of the money taken in locally is spent on local expenses.

Any office that did not spend 90 per cent of their local revenue was not considered for agency operation. "Baytown is one of the best offices from this standpoint in the stales of Texas and in that she spends less of the money she takes in than almost any other office in these states. The office at Baytown spends only 42 per cent of the money taken in at Baytown on local expenses there." According to company figures, Baytown revenue amounted to $33,356 for the year ending in October, 1969. The expenses amounted to $14,219. A total of 12,600 messages were sent and 11,639 messages received for the 12-month period.

more. I can't help what other people have said about the drug abuse problem here, but I know we have a problem," Chief Wilkinson said. He said that perhaps the problem Is not as bad in the Baytown area as it is in other places, but one does exist here. "I am assigning at least two cases to each officer on the force who can handle it," Chief Wilkinson said. "Of the 155 to 160 known users, we'll cover their moves and when the time is right we'll hit them." The arrests Wednesday night evolved from developing many leads and bits of information, Chief Wilkinson said.

"The men worked hard on the case and I'm proud of the way they handled the details," he added. Chief Wilkinson said of the 160 persons being investigated, the majority are between ages 16 and 21. The five arrested Wednesday night were still in jail Thursday morning and bonds were expected to be set later in the day. Officers said possession of marihuana is a felony, which normally calls for a $2,500 bond. Possession of dangerous drugs, a misdemeanor, normally requires an $800 bond.

The police department's drug drive has caused some officers to receive threats by telephone. One officer said he eceived a call this week and hat a young girl identified her- elf as a student at one of the igh schools here.
