The bazookas, normally an antitank weapon in warfare, shelled gaping hole in the south wall of the north cellblock where the hostages were held. CONTROL TAKEN National Guardsmen stormed Into the compound and quickly took control of the scene. Floodlights bathed the as the sporadic firing waned and died. Clouds of tear gas climbed into the crisp air.

Guard Laurence Cozzens, one of the hostages, said they were concerned by convict threats to douse us them with naphtha and turn them into human torches in the event an armed assault was attempted. "We heard the convicts yell "They're coming in' he said. "We got mattresses and held them up to the bars of the cells to keep them from throwing in the naphtha. We heard the bazooka shots, then some running. 'OPENED THE CELL' "We were still holding up the mattresses when we saw a National Guardsman.

I didn't sleep a wink last night, but sometime tonight I dozed off. I woke up at the sound of the shooting." Mrs. Victor Baldwin, wife of another hostage guard, said: "I was dead afraid for the National Guard to try to rescue them. I didn't want them to gO in, but thank God they did." While newsmen and officers tooks shelter behind buildings and telephone poles during the shooting, the free hostages scurried from the prison across the street to the Administration Building.

There the hostages were met by prison officials and their wives. They embraced tearfully and were led to shelter in the home of War- den Floyd Powell. NEWSMEN DELAYED The assault came peculiarly to newsmen gathered in emergency press headquarters in the Administration Building. A city patrolman and a National Guard private, a bayonet fixed to his rifle, suddenly appeared in the doorway. "No one leaves," said the patrolman.

There was an argument, and a police captain appeared. "If any of you would like to try to come out," he said, "You're welcome to try Seconds later, there WAS the crashing report of the first bazooka blast. It was followed by machinegun and small-arms fire, then other bazooka blasts. An officer thrust his head in the door to the press room and shoutr ed: "Now you can go!"

"They're in!" After their release, the hostage guards identified the ringleaders the revolt as Jerry Myles, about 50, a burglar with a long criminal record: Lee Smart, 19; and George Alpon, about 35. Warden Powell had said earlier he belleved the rioters had at least two caliber rifles and 19. rounds of ammunition. Myles had spoken for the convicts during the rebellion over loudspeaker system.

From Page 1 Studies Support Interstate Plan The north route, between Waverly Hills and Gardenia Gardens, was first selected by road department but met strong objection from area residents. Smith determined that for every $1 spent on the south-central route, It will return $9.56 in benefits. The north route would return $5.66 per $1 and the north-central route would return $8.92, he found.

This gives the south-central route a $6 million benefit advantage, according to the Smith supplemental report. Savings to motorists in two years would pay for the route, he determined ESTIMATED COSTS Original estimated costs of the various routes were: south-central, north-central, $10.281,000, and north, nearly $5 million. Smith said the south-central route will take a heavy burden of through traffic off city streets but will still provide travelers easy and quick access to the city. He said affected property would increase an estimated $4 million a year in value, boosting the city's tax assessment base. This would be lost to the city if a route were selected several miles away, he pointed out.

Jones noted that the southcentral route would serve the capital center, downtown bustness area, universities and the new industrial park and airport. all major traffic generators, and that it would tie into the proposed truck by -pass.

Sikes (D- has an idea by which he says cities and counties could attracti industry: build quarters for the prospective operation. Sikes wrote members of the Florida Legislature that an amendment to the state constitution would enable use of local tax funds to put up the buildings. He said the legislature could authorize creation of local, county or municipal development authorIties to handle such programs. The legislature would set rentals on the property. Any industrial building provided and used by a new Industry for not less than five years could be sold to the industry.

Johns River. Jacksonville citizens were not aware of the "invasion" unless they were in the Goat Island area downriver from the city. Few residents actually participated in yesterday's mock nuclear attack either. It was a nationwide civil defense test and mock bombings affected Florida cities from Pensacola to Miami. Some schools were evacuated, volunteer drivers loading children in cars, driving a few blocks and returning them to classrooms.

Tampa was the first city hit in the make believe bombing. It had about hours warning and Civil Defense authorities figured the simulated toll at 5,000 dead and 11,000 injured there. Reapportion Court Action Is Requested TAMPA (AP) Atty. James P. Calhoun says he plans to seek a Federal Court order to legislative reapportionment favorable to the state's more populous counties.

Calhoun said he planned to check details of a federal suit filed at Miami to seek federal relief in the reapportionment issue before filing action here. -With a mock nuclear atJacksonville was "besieged" Guard troops today. They said Jacksonville had three hours warning and most of the residents were evacuated before the attack.
