Extortion attempt is foiled by police TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) A Texarkana banker's wife and 8 maid were taken hostage by a gunman about 1:15 p.m. Thursday in a $150,000 extortion attempt. They were freed unharmed about 45 minutes later. Police Chief John Butler of the Texarkana Police Department said Mrs.

James Burt, wife of the president of the State First National Bank here, and the Burts' maid were held hostage while the Burts' threeyear -old daughter slept stairs. The gunman allegedly was armed with a .34 caliber snubnosed pistol, Butler said. The police chief said the women were freed after he talked with the gunman by telephone, advising him to "hand over the gun to Mrs. Burt and not to hurt anyone." The man, whose identity has not been released, then walked out of the house with his arms up to meet Butler, who stood alone on the sidewalk a part of the telephone agreement. Other officers who had rounded the house were tioned about a half block away.

Police said today 14-yearold suspect was being held in the Texarkana Jail, but no charge had been filed. Mrs. Burt said when she answered knock at the back door of her house Thursday, "there was this man holding a gun." She said he put a gun to her back and forced her to telphone her busband's office to ask for $150,000. Burt's secretary, Doris Brown, took the call and said she knew something was wrong because Mrs. Burt knew ber husband was out of town.

"Is everything all right?" she asked Mrs. Burt. "No," Mrs. Burt replied. The secretary notified police.

New migration seen By GERALD KEITH Hope City Manager PARKS ENERGY Late in the fall of 1972 the Board of Directors authorised the administration to draw up plans for acquisition of ditional land adjacent to Fair. Park. Since that time the Board has discussed at their regular meetings the alternatives for park expansion and the priorities for city funds. Certainly there is agreement among all that additional park land is needed. Expansion is possible to the south a and to the west.

There are advantages to each direction that must be weighed since limited funds will probably require a selection of only one of the two tracts. In the spring of this year the Board authorized portion of the Federal Revenue Sharing money to be set aside 1 for purchase of additional park land. The proposed 1974 budget that the Board will soon receive will not include any additional monies above that amount already reserved. The ditional monies must come from sources other than the current operating budget. The recent publicity on the energy crisis has caused everyone to do a little Monday morning quarterbacking.

Sometimes these Monday morning sessions make 1 hard decisions look obvious, and sometimes they can make big decisions look even bigger better. One decision that looks particularly good was made 15 years ago. In 1056 the City agreed to purchase the City's power from another company rather than continue generating its own power. In 1956 the power plant needed an expansion which would have cost a coniderable amount of money and it was decided at that time that the city's increasing use of power would require additional investments for expansion regular basis in the future. A contract with Arkansas Power and Light was signed and power is now delivered by to the station on South Edge wood where it is then distributed by the city.

Had the city continued to generate its own power, plant production would have increased sixfold to match today's power needs, and alternate sources of fuel would have to be located to run the plant since natural gas is not. now available for power production. from Page One) that doesn't have to catch up with the rest of the nation, but leads the nation from the very start." He said Floridians are concerned because "they see that many of the natural treasures and resources which brought them to Florida in the first place are vanishing or becoming too expensive or too inconvenient for the average person to enjoy." Askew said state government in Florida has made "a solid mark" with a passage of environmental legislation which includes a land and water management act, a water resources act and a comprehensive planning act. He called this legislation "the most significant piece of legislation passed in Florida in my 15 years in state government." He said Florida is purchasing, with financial assistance from the federal government, the Rig Cyprus million acre watershed in south west Florida. "What is so encouraging is that the people of Florida now recognize that we cannot continue in the direction we've been going.

that's a start. A recent survey of public attitudes reveals that overdevelopment and growth are the major concerns of Florida residents," Askew said. The governor said he recently convened a conference on growth and environment and that the 150 Floridians attending found that "only a managed rational growth policy could insure the quality of life we all that recognizas the delicate balancing of equities, environment and the economy, environment and employment, environment and Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia was named chairman of the board this morning. He succoeds Gov.

Dale Bumpers of Arkansas in that position. Earlier Thursday, Bumpers told the board that the national energy crisis has forced a compromise between environmental and land use planning principles. He said the serious energy shortage which is anticipated for this winter means that "land use consideration, when it conflicts with energy de- mands, must necessarily yield to the greater need." The only alternative, Bumpers said, is "stark change" in life styles. Bumpers told the 13-state cooperative organization that the national leadership was at fault for not telling the public well in advance of the severity of the energy crisis. The Middle East crisis was not an unforeseen event that "caught us unaware," he insisted.

"It only accelerated a an already acute and serious situation." Through land use legislation, Arkansas can plan for the growth that will increase its population -third by the year 2,000, Bumpers said. that a car parked in the Burts' driveway had a Colorado license plate. A check indicated that the car had been stolen from Jackson, Butler said. At that point, officers decided someone probably was in the house with Mrs. Burt.

The chief went to another home in the neighborhood where he made the telephone call. asked Mrs. Burt to put him on the phone, and I explained to him that if he did anything to harm those people he was really jeopardizing himself," Butler said. "We knew there was a small child in there. I impressed on this fellow that our interest was in his not harming those people." Butler said he told the man that 50 officers had surrounded the house and that the "best way to survive this ordeal" was to give himself up.

When police entered the house, they found a .38 caliber pistol, an undetermined amount of light ammunition and several rolls of adhesive tape. don't think he had ever done anything like this before," Mrs. Burt said after her 1 release.
