PERSISTENT MIGRANT rJX)KYO, Saturday (A.A.P.). A persistent Japanese stowaway called "Little Joe" was back in gaol today for the 13th time. This followed yet another thwarted attempt to live in America, United Press International reported. Hatsugi Tsuruhama, 33, has been trying to sneak into the United States for 16 years. For his efforts he has spent roughly a third of his life in prisons and detention camps in various countries.

Tsuruhama was deported to Japan from the United States as an illegal immigrant this week. Tokyo police arrested him at the airport on charges of violating Japanese immigration laws. lit.

Mr Powell, 32, his wife and their two children arrive in Sydney by air on June 1, under the $25-assisted passage scheme. He said, "Australia House has classified me as an 'eminently eligible I hope they don't repret it." He was referring to the trouble he caused in Britain two years ago when as managing director of Mayflower Books, he published "Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure." The company was taken to Court under the Obscene Publications Act, but by that time the book had sold thousands of copies.

However, he found that witch doctors were avaricious compared with their Western counterparts and were, on occasions, even cruel, chaining up their patients when they were net paid. Mr Powell "an eminently eligible in the nearest job offering at a fairground. He then worked as a soldier, lorry driver, labourer and reporter, before entering publishing. He became managing director of Mayflower Books when only 28, and soon after joined the New England Library Book Company, which runs Four Square. Signet and Mentor books, as managing director.

His meteoric rise has earned him not a few enemies in the gentlemanly world of British publishing. He said: "I don't pinch authors.

This is suggested by an English doctor, Stephen Black, who made a program for B.B.C. television after long and intensive studies of witch doctor practices in Nigeria. Dr Black found one Nigerian psychiatrist who claimed he was normally able to treat three out of five mentally sick patients successfully using witch doctor's methods, but only two out of five using Western methods. He found witch doctors were using drugs to treat mental illnesses before the turn of the century, while Western doctors' only began drug treatment 30 years ago.

Dr Black claimed witch doctors were using hypnosis to treat other forms of mental illness, and that women with growths and apparently cancerous symptoms had been cured by a witch doctor's preparation, where Western X-ray treatment had failed. He believed a huge percentage of patients who went to witch doctors for treatment were suffering from psychosomatic illnesses, in many cases caused by the pressure of chang Expelled WASHINGTON, Saturday (A.A.P.- Reuter).

I know there are private schools in Sydney, but they don't ride horses and play polo and, anyway, my kids won't be going to them."
