The photo was released Thursday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution after it was learned that Murphy had been kidnaped. The photo was believed made in 1972. AP Murphy, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, has been abducted by a group calling itself the Revolutionary Army, the news paper said today.

Murphy, 40, has been missing since about 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, when he left his home with a man who said he wanted to talk to him about a news story, his wife said. There have been no demands, but there were indications that a followup telephone call was expected. William H. Fields, executive editor of Atlanta Newspapers, which publishes the Constitution and Atlanta Journal, said the newspaper received a telephone call about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday.

He said similar calls were made to Atlanta television station WAGA and to Mrs. Murphy. In Washington, the FBI issued this statement: "The FBI is aware that Reg Murphy has allegedly been kidnaped. We are looking into this matter in connection with our jurisdiction under the federal kidnaping statues and we have nothing further to say regarding this matter at this time." Fields issued a brief statement which said: "Reg Murphy presumably has been kidnaped. Jim Minter, managing editor of the Constitution, received a telephone call at 9:15 p.m.

"I am not sure what to do," she said.

"I have no other information. I am waiting now for some kind of contact." Security was tight at the Journal-Constitution's building. Guards were requiring all employes to show their building passes and to register, even though they were familiar with most of them. FBI agents searched Murphy's office for clues again today after having made a search Wednesday night, sources at the paper said. It was the second major kidnaping this month.

Dr. Singletary, speaking briefly with newsmen before conferring with students and faculty members at Paducah Community College Wednesday, said that the University of Kentucky "will make its case" in a drive to obtain the facility, should one be constructed, for the UK campus. Dr. Singletary said the state needs first to determine through intensive study and research whether such a facility would be in the best interests of Ken-tuckiahs. Then he said the council should explore all possible locations in the state for such a facility, Singletary said In his opinion that to locate a school of veterinary medicine anywhere other than UK would force "a duplication of services." He referred to existing facilities such as a comprehensive technical library, a highly-specialized medical staff, and related medical facilities found on theJK campus.

"To locate a veterinary school anywhere else, all of these would have to" be duplicated," said Dr. Singletary.

(AP) The terrorist kidnapers or newspaper heiress faincia Hearst sent a new communication to her family today, apparently containing an additional demand of $4 million for the girl's freedom.

ff Charles Gould, a family spokesman, said, "Yes, there is a tape and some letters as well." Gould declined further comment but another spokesman said the tape included a message from Miss Hearst. There was no immediate comment from the FBI. Gould said the communication was from the Symbionese Liberation Army whiclf claimed it abducted Miss Hearst from a Berkeley apartment 17 days ago. Her father, newspaper executive Randolph A. Hearst, already had mounted a $2-million food distribution program in an effort to win her release.

Already, $100,000 worth of food had been stockpiled. The distribution of food to the poor is scheduled to start Friday. Another San Francisco radio station, KGO, reported that the Rev. Cecil Williams, an intermediary in past SLA commu nications, received a telephone call Wednesday night. It directed him to a telephone booth, where he found the tape recording.

B. HICKS Sun-Democrat Staff Writer The Illinois Central Gulf Railroad is expected to decide within the next three months if it will construct on its Kentucky Division a massive new rail yard complex at a cost of between $35 and $45 million. According to J. C. Humbert, ICG vice president in charge of operations who is in Paducah today for a meeting of Kentucky Division officials, an intensive, year-long study of a proposal to construct new yards in the South Fulton, area is near completion.

Humbert, emphasizing that plans for the new yards are in no way final, said that the study of the proposal will probably be completed in the next few weeks. The next s'ep toward final approval, Humbert said, will be an internal review by the ICG. Humbert said that nearly all of a 960-acre trart of land near South Fulton is either owned or under option by the ICG. The land under consideration, though not pinpointed by Humbert, is reported to be on ICG tracks between South Fulton and Union City. According to Humbert, the I proposed facility would consist of a receiving yard, a hump, a clas sification yard, and a departing yard.

Also, Humbert said, prelimin ary plans call for a car repair facility and fueling facilities to be included in the complex. Humbert, saying the construction of such a facility would have "major impact" on the entire ICG system, explained that at present there are only two such classification yards on the sys tem one in the Chicago area and one in the East St. Louis area. Asked about the size of a permanent work force for the pro posed complex, Humbert said he "would guess" there would be "in excess of 300 people" employed. A major factor which will figure in the decision to be made by the ICG concerning the con struction of the complex, accord Lists Four "He admits not doing so," she said.

The NAACP feels a final report by consultants who made a study of vocational training in West Kentucky has not been submitted. An earlier one gave the state alternatives of building the new school, closing the old one or refurbishing it. Dr. Beatty said had the existing school received as much as $30,000 a year in maintenance money which it needed, "it could not be needing over 000 a year now to sustain its maintenance and its buildings." Also pinpointed was "an obvious error in the budget as previously presented.

21- The Kentucky National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) charged today that the planned closing of West Kentucky State Vocational Technical School of Paducah grew out of a false promise by the state's chief education official, lack of proper funding of the school over the years, a misleading error in the executive budget, and "strong political im plications." Dr. Earnestine B. Beatty, rep resenting the NAACP, read a statement before the Joint Appropriations and Revenue Com mittee conducting hearings into Gov. Wendell Ford's budget pro posal to the General Assembly. Also introduced into the record was a resolution in which the NAACP opposes the planned phasing-out of the predominantly black vocational school in Padu cah.

Ford, following recommendations made by the Education and Arts Cabinet, proposed to fund construction of a new $3 million Purchase area vocational school near Paducah Community College while at the same time phasing out the older school. A subsequent wave of protest by backers of the school led Ford to pledge the school would not be closed during his administra-j tion. Dr. Beatty said state SupL of Public Instruction, Dr. Lyman Ginger, promised "over a year ago" to meet with WKSVTS of ficials in Paducah before mak ing any decision on its future.
