The kidnappers took the couple
from their home and drove in
Kravitz s car to a'Howard Johnson s
motel in suburban North Randall,
Gardner said.
During the time at Kravitz’s
apartment and at the motel, the kid-
nappers allowed the businessman to
make several telephone calls in an
unsuccessful attempt to arrange for
payment of the ransom, police said.
Later, they left the motel and
drove around. “For no apparent rea
son, one of them turned and shot Mr.
Kravitz,” Gardner said. Mrs. Kravitz
also was shot.
“At that time, she jumped out of
the car and they (the kidnappers)
kept on going,” Gardner said.
Mrs. Kravitz was found along a
road in suburban Gates Mills. She
made the first report to police of the
kidnapping.
Kravitz was found in the parking
lot of an appliance store across from
the sprawling Randall Park Mall in
North Randall. His car was found in a
field near the appliance store’s park
ing lot.
Kravitz’ First National Supermar
kets operates 287 supermarkets in
Ohio, New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ver
mont, New Hampshire and Maine.
It employs 20,000 people and has
annual sales of $965.9 million.
After the death of his father,
Kravitz, then II, worked in
neighborhood grocery stores after
school and on Saturdays. In 1932,
when he was 20, he had saved $400
and used it to open his first store in
Cleveland, Julie s Grocery.
A longtime leader of Cleveland’s
Jewish community, Kravitz has been
very active in organizing fund
raising efforts for Israel. He is a close
personal friend of U. S. Sen. Howard
Metzenbaum, D-Ohio.
'Lightering’ gets
oil to small ports
United Press International
FREEPORT — Transatlantic tan
kers carrying crude oil from the
Mid-East and Africa are too large to
enter most Gulf and East Coast
ports, according to Mel C. Griffin,
district superintendent for the Sea
way dock here. To get their oil to
shore a new technique called “light
ering” is used. About 100 miles
offshore the oil is transferred onto
smaller tankers for delivery to port.
