DALLAS i API — A 2-year-old child

said.
Three other people were rescued
shortly after the accident, which took
place about 8:30 pm Thursday, ac-
cording to Dallas park police.
The child's body was discovered
shortly before 3 a.m., police said. The
victim's identity and other details
were not immediately available
Authorities continued to search the

The three survivors, including two
men and a woman, were found by

BRYAN, Texas (AP) — State of-
ficials have halted work on a highway
interchange until engineers decide
what to do with about nine frail or-
chids added to the endangered species
list last year
"We're just on hold until we can
come up with an agreement with the
Department of Interior on what needs
to be done about it," said DD
Williamson, a planning engineer for
the Texas Department of Highways
and Public Transportation
The nine Navasota Ladies Tresses,
known to botanists as Spiranthes
Parksn. are about 10 percent of that
species known to exist, said Dr Jim
Johnson, acting head of the en-
dangered species section of the U.S
Department of Interior in Albuquer-
que, N.M
The flowers grow near a bridge that
will be affected by a project to convert
Texas Highway 6 into a four-lane
thoroughfare between Bryan and
Navasota, about 25 miles to the
southeast The highway department,
which will need five years to finish the
strip. is spending $10 million buying
the right of w ay
Johnson said it may be possible to
shift the site of the interchange a few
hundred feet in either direction to
skirt the hill where the orchids bloom
for nine days every October
The highway department has
known about the flowers for some
time, but was unaware of their
specific location. Williamson said
said it's a case that needs a waste and transportation
rather long investigation

Reagan wrote. "A friend at

what a fine young lady you
are I am always saddened to
learn of the misfortune that
touches the lives of one of our
young people, but I know you
will keep up your spirits
So many people care
about you, and I am certain
from my own experience that
the loving concern of family
and friends is a source of
great comfort "
Despite an unemployment
Plankington, saying prosecutors
were trying to "make a career" of the
case, decided to drop the idea.
"For the lune being anyway, we
have cancelled our plans." Plank-
ington told the Galveston Daily News

said District .Attorney Danny

courtroom after the shooting
and the FBI took over the in-
vestigation.

that we are investigating the
incident as an assault on a
federal officer." said FBI

WASHINGTON AP
President Reagan and House
Speaker Thomas P O'Neill
Jr , allied in a plan to keep
Social Security afloat through
the decade, are split on

ment age to keep the system

ment age beyond 65. says

who has set the tone "
Rep James Scheuer,

Under the new "rental
equivalence" formula, the
department said that a
typical homeowner says his
costs rose 0.7 percent in
January, while a typical
renter's costs were up 0 6 per-
cent
The new calculations are
reflected only in the depart-
ment's Consumer Price In-

They won't be made for two
more years in a companion
index — the Consumer Price

department gave these

vegetable prices were down

GALVESTON. Texas .API - A
businessman fighting racketeering
< barges in Arizona says he's abandon-
ed plans to launch a floating brothel
and casino in the Gulf of Mexico and
will auction off his ship
Walter Plankington of Phoenix,
Ariz , co-owner of the Panama-based
Fantasy Cruises Co., had planned to
operate men-only cruises out of this
island resort community, beginning
May 15
But Plankington’s dream foundered
last month after Phoenix prosecutors
filed civil racketeering charges
against him
The charges allege that the former
Las Vegas bordello owner conspired
to receive the earnings of prostitutes
through the Texas venture.
Plankington said on Thursday that
he scuttled the idea after a Phoenix
judge postponed for 30 days a hearing
■n the case It was the second time a
hearing on defense motions to dismiss
the charges was delayed
Plankington said he planned to run
the cruises between Galveston and
Panama outside the United States'
ex en -mile jurisdictional limit
A British ship being used for
seismographic study by the Natural
Environment Research Council of
England was to have been remodeled
into a pleasure boat, he said
Now, Plankington said, he has put
the ship on the market and will accept
any reasonable offer over $500,000. "
Maricopa County District Attorney
James Keppel claimed the plan for
the floating brothel violated Arizona
laws and he convinced another judge
to freeze Plankington's Phoenix bank
accounts.
