Miami Power Cut As Car Hits Pole MIAMI (AP) An auto accident knocked out electric power to a large section of downtown Miami Friday night. A car hit a power pole, dimming the city from about Northwest 13th Street to North 32nd Street and from Northwest 13th Avenue to Biscayne Bay.

The area involved is about 260 square blocks. Among the businesses dark- ened by the failure was the main Florida office of The Associated Press, cutting off all news wires in the state. Emergency generating facilities at the AP offices restored full service to the news offices within 15 minutes.

tion, and let them handle the details. But he is thrilled by the response. "Everybody is knocking TV," he says, "from Agnew down. But this shows a genu-ine public interest, and proves to me that maybe it's all worth-while." He also feels that the re-s demonstrates how deep the country's interest in ecology has become. "It proves to me," he says, "that the American public is terribly ecology-minded today.

And it should be. If we are not careful, we'll destroy all the animals on the face of the earth. The last one will be homo sapiens, and if he goes there won't be much left to talk about." Animal World, so far this summer, has dealt with the possible danger to turtles, jaguars, crocodiles and other assorted beasties. Maybe this one show will have turned the tide for the turtles.

It told how this turtle like so many other creatures, is in danger of extinction because of man who keeps digging up the turtles' eggs on their breeding islands. At the end of the show, Burrud said maybe one of these islands could be bought for $10,000 and the American public might thereby help preserve a species. Poor Bill Burrud didn't know what he was getting himself into. He has had letters, calls and telegrams from hundreds of Americans, and he has been in frantic contact with the Malaysian government.

But the Chinese egg pirates heard about it and are trying to jack the price of the island they lease it from Malaysia to $50,000. "I'm not in the Malaysian real estate game," Burrud says, sadly. But it looks pretty good for Selingan Island, which is probably the best of the turtle-egg-laying islands in the area. Wolfgang Bayer, the program's executive producer, who photographed that show, describes Selingan Island this way: "In your dreams, you pic There tured a desert island are beautiful beaches and coconut palm trees and even pirates. Philippine and Ma- laysian pirates all use this UICO IU 1UUC UUl.

"Selingan isn't the biggest island it's only about 22 acres but it is lovely." Burrud pulled out a sheaf of correspondence from people wanting to know how to go about buying the island. He says he wasn't prepared for this, having mentioned the possibility of buying the island merely to indicate the nature of the problem. What he wants to do now is turn the whole thing to the State Department or some founda- BOUNCE WITH A LOO I I UIRI mcucv 1 btmmu I. mm Boo TECHNICOLOR4 AIRPORT" LMv AND YOU GET B0X 0F POPCORN I it eoc'1 admission ticket! mum if it i mi I mTmh mim i ui i ii nTi is tnr IPTfin" NTMlp-1f -q--- Bob Slm99, fiadf ZZ COLUMBIA WOWS n.RANnmp rfrgfm i IOTT mm 1 L-i' aaj- WTkw iUKrKlacS!
