(AP)— After William Leon Walker was saved by the Lord, police said he walked into the Soddy-Daisy station and con fessed robbing 13 stores this year in Tennessee and Georgia. Chattanooga police booked Walker, 25, on three counts of armed robbery Tuesday night. Representatives of other de partments were to Interview him today. “He said he’d been saved by the Lord the night before,” Pa trolman Allen Branum said. “He said he knew he’d probably do a lot of time, but that he just couldn’t live with his con science.” Branum, once a schoolmate of Walker’s, called in Sgt. Ed Schroyer of the detective squad. Schroyer said the suspect gave him statements on each of the 13 robberies, then signed them. “I was flabbergasted to begin with,” Schroyer said. “But he told me he had gotten religion at the Soddy Church of Christ last night and confessed.” The sergeant said Walker confessed to robbing five stores in the Chattanooga area, four in north Georgia, three in the Knoxville area, and one in La- Follette, Tenn. case. The Carter proposal is to limit the cost increases for hospitals to the general inflation rate, plus a 3 per cent allowance for technological improve ment. This formula would allow annual cost increases of about 9 per cent, in stead of the 15 per cent of recent years. The administration also proposed a national limit on capital expenditure? for hospitals of about half the current $5 billion per year, saying that new buildings have boosted hospital costs. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the nation would save more than S4O billion in the next five years under the administration plan. But the American Medical Association and other medical groups have opposed the bill, saying it would reduce the quality of health care. The administration says unnecessary costs can be trimmed while keeping quality care.

(AP) - A freak accident has resulted in the killing of an estimated one third of the population of snail darters, a small endangered fish found only in the Little Tennessee River. Biologists say they believe the accident on Tuesday was caused by a toxic chemical on a net which was being used to handle the fish. The accident, killing 94 snail darters, occurred during efforts to move the fish from below the Tellico Dam to their breeding grounds upstream. The existence of the fish pop ulation has resulted in a court order prohibiting further con struction on the Tennessee Val ley Authority’s proposed sll6 million Tellico Dam project. As an endangered species, the snail darters are protected by federal law against actions German tourist will really visit San Francisco this time BANGOR, Maine (AP) - Er win Kreuz will visit San Fran cisco. Really. San Francisco. Kreuz is the West German tourist who got off a chartered plane when it stopped for fuel in Bangor Oct. 7. Believing he was in San Francisco, he wandered about town for four days before learning that he was on the wrong coast. Kreuz accepted an invitation Tuesday by The San Francisco Examiner to fly him and an in terpreter to the West Coast on Friday. The 50-year-old brewery worker plans to head back home to Augsberg, West Germany, on Monday. Examiner City Editor Jim Willse said the newspaper planned to put Kreuz and his interpreter up with a family that speaks German. “We thought it would be a shame if Mr. Kreuz went back to Europe without seeing San Francisco,” Willse said. He said the trip would cost the newspaper about SI,OOO. Kreuz, who speaks no Eng lish, said during the first few which would alter their natural habitat. TV A biologists and Hal Boles, a staff biologist for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the fish kill was likely caused by a poisonous substance on a small net used to handle fish for measurement before they were placed back in the Little Ten nessee in the Coytee Springs area some 15 miles above the dam. “We had measured about half the fish when we noticed they were showing signs of distress,” Boles said. “They were turning over on their sides.” The 94 fish had been caught below the Tellico Dam during the day as biolgists began their first day of transplant oper ations. The TV A had strongly op posed moving the fish up stream, but agreed last week to, days, he thought he was in a suburb of San Francisco, and when he dined in one of Bang or’s two Chinese restaurants, it reinforced his belief. He said he had seen pictures of surburban California where the hills look ed like those around Bangor. He’d heard about San Fran cisco’s Chinatown. The red cheeked, sapling Kreuz realized something was wrong when he was forced to leave his Bangor hotel, which was booked full for an upcoming special college weekend.
