Hinckley needs 'more love'
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Presidential assailant John W. Hinkley Jr. declared in a letter Wednesday that he is still seriously that he needs to be confined.
"I'll be ready to leave (St. Elizabeth mental hospital) as soon as I have a little more love in my heart and a little less Jodie Foster on the brain," wrote in an unassigned letter to CBS News correspondent Fred Graham.
The letter included a picture of Hinckley at the hospital, and was sent in response to written questions submitted by Graham.
THE MAN who wounded President Reagan and three aides in a March 30, 1981 pistol attack said he didn't think he would be "entirely" safe if released but said, "I'd rather take that risk and be free."
HINCLEK WAS found innocent by reason of insanity of attempting to kill the president and is committed indefinitely at St. Elizabeths hospital.
If released, Hinckley said he would never attempt another assassination but he declined to comment on whether he would be safe from him if he were free.
He also said he taught the Secret Service a lesson. "Because of me the Secret Service is much better these days. I showed them how utterly simple it was to attack the president. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get so close. I kept waiting for something or someone to interfere with me.
"But no one gave me a second glance. I thought to myself, my whole life has been leading up to this moment. I can't back out and cheat strategy," he said.
HINCKLEY WROTE that he has requested the American Civil Liberties Union to represent him in a lawsuit against hospital officials because of a ban on press interviews and because they screen his outgoing mail.
The ACLU confirmed the receipt of Hinckley's request and said it would be handled in a routine manner.
Hinckley lamented the lack of visitors he can have.
Association to use Caribbean to make its membership sail
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
Facing rough economic currents, the University of Kansas Alumni Association has tacked its membership drive toward the Caribbean.
The Alumni Association's fall campaign centers on a tactic it has never used before — a Caribbean cruise sweepstakes, B.J. Pattee, associate director of the Alumni Association, said vetteday.
Pattee said her goal was to gain 1,000 members during the membership drive sweepstakes, which began in September and will end Oct. 30.
"I don't know if we'll get that or not—dollars are pretty tight," she said.
"This is a hard market to hit right now."
The alumni were sent letters in September urging them to support the Alumni Association in its centennial annual Alumni Association will turn 100 this spring.
HOWEVER, Pattee said she thought the sweepstakes would attract people who had never belonged to the Alumni Association, such as younger alumni.
The Alumni Association sent with the letter a sweepstakes entry blank with a form to renew old dues or become a member for the first time. Alumni did not have to pay dues to enter the contest.
The two winners will cruise by the
Panama Canal, South America and the Bahamas January 15-26.
Pattée said so far fewer entry blanks had been sent with checks for dues than she had expected, but people in distant areas had not received the entry forms yet.
PATTEE SAID although Alumni Association membership increased each year and was larger than the other Big Eight schools', membership was increasing more slowly than in the past.
"It's harder to get members, and it costs us more to get members," Pattee said.
Last year the Aiuniw Association gained about 670 new members, she said. Pattie estimated that about 500 of the members signed during the fall drive.
However, membership swelled greatly in the last five years when it twice increased by about 3,000. Both increases were spurred by "beat the increase" drives, in which alumni had to join the Alumni Association before it increased membership dues, Pattee said. She said 25 percent of KU graduates belonged to the Alumni Association.
PATTIE SAID that dues were too low then for the Alumni Association to publish and mail its monthly tabloid and biannual magazine. Lifetime dues, which now cost $500 dollars, were as low as $7 in the past, she said.
The shaded areas on the map show the areas that will be without water service until 5 p.m. today. City Utilities Director Roger Coffey said water lines and valves in the area, some dating back to 1886, were being repaired.
Water to be turned off in some Lawrence areas
Water will be shut off today for residents in some areas of Lawrence, the city utilities director said yesterday.
The water will be shut off to replace water lines that were installed in 1866, and the same process is repeated there.
COFFEY SAID the project was mostly preventive maintenance and the water should be back on by 5 m.
Alabama Street between Fourth and Eighth Streets and Eighth Street between Diphter and Turtle Creek.
The areas affected by the shut-off are Indiana Street between Eighth and Third streets, Mississippi Street between Ninth and Seventh streets.
The shut-off also includes some areas between these blocks.
THE REPAIR project is a continuation of work done last week, Coffey said.
Repairing the water lines and valves now will mean that city crews will not have to turn off water service to as many people in the future, Coffey said, because city crews will have better control over the valves.
FBI nabs man suspected in Gulf bombing plot
By United Press International
DURANG, Colo. — The FBI arrested a man yesterday who admitted placing five bombs inside a Gulf Oil Corp. petrochemical plant in Baytown, Texas, in an attempt to extort $15 million from the company.
Timothy K. Justice, charged with conspiracy in a warrant filed with the U.S. magistrate in Denver, was the arrest arrested in the attempted extortion
James E. Bristol Jr., FBI special agent in Denver, said after Justice was advised of his rights in Durango, he admitted traveling to Houston "approximately Sept. 25" with Michael Allen Worth, 34, and Jill Irene Bird, 36.
JUSTICE SAID HE AND Worth went to Gulf Oil Chemicals Co.'s Cedar Bayon facility near Bayton the next night "and Justice cut the fence, and placed five destructive devices at various locations inside the facility."
Justice also admitted attending a meeting at the Durango home of James McBride, 46, a self-styled survivalist, about a week before the trip to Houston. Justice told investigators he, McBride, Worth, Bird and McKinney "discussed various aspects of the extortion scheme."
"I'm just really relieved we didn't have a bomb go off," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Murphy. "We're going to get it investigated investigation nipped this in the bud in Phoenix or someone could have really been hurt."
AUTHORITIES LOCATED and removed several explosives at the Cedar Bayou plant after the plot was uncovered. The plant was shut down for five days because of the threat, and Gulf officials claimed the shutdown cost them $4.5 million.

Bird was released from jail in Durango Tuesday after McBride, her common-law husband, gave officials information about the location of several explosive devices in the Durango area.
MCBRIE WAS STILL in custody in Durango, and Worth and McKinney were being held in Phoenix. Preliminary arguments for the three men will be held Friday.
Undersheriff Mike Bell said McBride was a suspect in a similar extortion attempt at the Standards Mine Metal near Silverton several months ago. He said the San Juan County Sheriff's Department "certainly were looking at him and there were explosives," but no arrests were made.
TOM O'TOLEO, a court-appointed attorney for Worth in Phoenix, said it was his "understanding McBride has understood the present and is taking responsibility for this thing. Maybe he will plead guilty and convince the court to let everyone go."
Federal officials released Bird and granted her immunity from prosecution after Bride revealed the location of the alleged massacre in beds in La Plata County where they lived.
Murphy said any danger from the extortion plot, which began unraveling with FBI arrests of two men in Phoenix, Ariz., last week, was over and the investigation was beginning to wind down.
"The whole thing was like something right out of a spy novel," he said. "It's really interesting. I think some people are used when the details are told in court."
