However, Jt's reported pri-

Secretary of State Herter is

with other members of the

of forming a strategic nuclear

Fort Worth, Oct, 27
(AP) — Two Fort Worth
persons were kidnaped at
gunpoint last night by a
38 - year - old m a n who
criminally attacked the
21-year-old woman and left the
n.an hog-tied.
The couple were taken to a
field near Anetta, west of
Weatherford.
Officers are combing the
area for an ex-convict feared
to be holding an Anetta wom-
an and her child as hostages.
Investigators have identified
the hunted man as Curtis Lee
Jones, wanted in a recent Tex-
atkana slaying.
The woman and J. V. Verner
arrived at the woman's apart-
ment late last night and, say
investigators, found Jones in-
side the dwelling. The pair was
forced into the ex-convict’■»
automobile and the three drove
into the country.
They, then returned to the
woman’s apartment and be-
tween 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. Jones
ordered the two into the car
again. This time, they drove
to a spot near Aledo where
Jones tied the man’s hand and
feet and tried to strangle him
with a rope. Highway patrol-
men say he choked Verner un-
conscious and left him for
dead. Jones then reportedly
took the woman some distance
away and criminally attacked
her.
Police fear Jones may be
holding two Anetta residents as
hostages. They are identified
as Mrs, Waller Seats and her
2-year-old daughter, Cynthia
Sue.
