Cities Fail to Keep
face with Automobile
...S Chicago (U.f?) Cities with
jjnore than 80,000 population
expanded their parking areas
3n 1953 but failed to keep pace
' Avith the increase in automobiles,
study shows.
:"5 But cities from 10.000 to 50.
rjOOO population fared better.
They had a median of 55 spaces
for each 1,000 vehicles,' com.
pared with 49 spaces per 1,000
the year before.
; I The study was made by the
International : City Managers'
Association, which gathered in
formation on traffic and park
ing from 892 cities.
' The four cities with the great
est number of parking spaces
per 1,000 vehicles were Miami
Beach, Fla., with 680; Roseville,
Mich., 396; Shaker Heights, O.,
S65, and Attleboro, Mich., 308.
' Of the 892 reporting cities,
: , 634 own or operate one or more
: off-street parking lots.' Their
total was 1,747 lots, an average
of three per city. This was a 19
per .cent increase over 1952 in
the number of lots and a 7 per
cent Jump in the number of
cities with such lots. ,
Mexico Said Making
Literacy Progress -
Mexico City ' (U.R) Almost
40 per cent of the population
of Mexico are unable to read
and write,, but' the nation. Is
making progress in its cam
paign against illiteracy.
Ten years ago, 58 per cent,
or 10,369,000 persons, out: of
the total of . 21,674,000 were
' The latest government esti
mate pegs the figure at 8,946,-
000 of a total population of 28,
000,000. ".-
Most of the progress in the
last decade has been made in
the younger age groups. Large
numbers of older people attend
free classes in reading and writ
ing, however.
The campaign against illiteracy
is being directed by Mexico's
public education ministry. Priv
ate individuals, from President
Adolfo Ruiz Cortines down, bus
iness organizations, banks and
labor unions have been coop-
crating. Some offer financial
aid, others provide places for
classes and still others provide
both.

Bedbugs Studied for
Polynesian Origin
Berkeley, Calif. U.PJ A col
lection of bedbugs is being
made on a remote Pacific atoll
so University of California
scientists can study the origin
of the island's Polynesian popu
lation. A six-man team of scientists
is visiting . Kapingaraarangi
which lies in the Southern Caro
line Islands two degrees off the
equator to study the island's
rocks, marine life and to bring
back a sample of bedbugs for
Dr. Robert L. Usinger, entom
ology professor.
Dr. Usinger hopes to de
termine by examining these
bugs just where the island's peo
ple originated. The people seem
to be of Polynesian culture, but
the atoll lies between Micronesia
and Melanesia and about 1,200
miles from Polynesia. Dr. Usin
ger believes members of island's
population scratch bites of Poly
nesian bedbugs, but the bugs are
being brought back to Berkeley
so he can make sure. '
