Lmkin, TVTK jy gunpoint reporter in Hub 48 years A said held at Washineton Pnst Washington Post WASHINGTON The US ambassador to Haiti was trapped in his embassy in Port-au-Prince by three gunmen last night, it was learned here. It was understood that Ambasssador Clinton E.

Knox, 64, a native of Massachusetts, was held at gunpoint. The reported motive was to demand the release of political prisoners being held by the government of President-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier. Sources here could not say whether Knox had been wounded or whether other Americans were also endangered. At one point, according to still sketchy reports, a gun was being held to the ambassador's head. The duty officer-at the' Embassy refused to come to the telephone, and a man who did not identify himself over the phone said that all statements on the situation in the Embassy building had to come from the State Department in Washington.

Senior State Department officials with responsibility for the Caribbean area were in their offices last last night working on the crisis, but they were not available for comment. The situation was still unclear, according to sources here. They added that they did not know at what time the gunmen invaded the embassy and took the ambassador hostage. Knox, a black career of- METRO EDWARD (KID) ORY PERFORMS (UPI) He wrote 'Muskrat Ramble' Edward (Kid) Ory, 86, jazzman, composer United Press International HONOLULU Edward (Kid) Ory, legendary trombonist of Dixieland jazz who composed "Muskrat Ramble" and "Savoy Blues," died yesterday at the age of 86. "His heart just gave out," hies wife, Barbara, said.

Ory had been hospitalized for two weeks with pneumonia. Ory, perhaps the greatest Dixieland slide trombonist of all time, had been living in Hawai since 1966. Ory brought the neglected trombone to prominence with "tailgate" style, which got its name from the way trombonists played with their slides shooting out over the tailgates of wagons carrying bands in New Orleans parades during the early days of jazz. The part-Creole composer had a jazz career that spanned almost 70 years. He was born on Christmas day, 1886, in Laplace, and got his first job at the age of 10.

He grew up in the bawdy Storyville district of New Orleans in the era of Buddy Bolden, one of the first of the modern jazzmen. Many jazz giants, including Louis Armstrong and Joe (King) Oliver, got their first jobs in an Ory band. In an interview several years ago, the diminutive and quiet-voiced musician described how it happened when "Satchmo" Armstrong was still a teenager: "Louis was a little fella then, and he wasn't used to playing with an orchestra, just marchin' bands. I loaned him some money to get some clothes and then offered him the first real job he had. At that time he knew only five numbers." North Reading businessman Herbert M.

Larkin, 71, of 21 Wright st, North Reading, active in North Reading business and politics for more than 30 years, died yesterday in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Mr. Larkin was injured in an automobile accident on Rte. 495 in Hudson on Nov. 11.

He was born in Yarmouth, N.S., and came to this country as a boy and moved to North Reading in 1942, where for many years he operated the Larkin Lawn Mower Service.

In a speech to Congress on March, 15, 1965, Mr. Johnson said: "This is the richest and most powerful country which ever occupied this globe. The might of past empires is little compared to ours.

Protest planned against Ward's Senate position Associated Press WORCESTER Four busloads of demonstrators, organized by radio station WAAB, are expected to appear at the State House in Boston this morning to protest a $31,290 legislative position created for former Sen. Joseph D.

Ward of Fitchburg. The group, expected to number from 150 to 200, will be led by George Gray, president and owner, a station spokesman said yesterday. The station has campaigned to eliminate the job of Massachusetts Senate counselor, calling it a patronage office created by the Legislature to "take care of its own and the taxpayer t- damned." Ward, 58, was defeated in the 1972 general election by Robert A. Hall. Ward, who served in the Senate 10 years, asked for a recount, which he also lost, and then petitioned the Senate to seat him instead of Hall.

The state constitution allows for such petitions, but Ward's was never officially considered. The station spokesman claimed that Senate President Kevin B. Harrington, rather than have the petition reach, the Senate floor, created the counselor's job and appointed Ward.
