“It’s done,” said a spokesman
for Societe Nationale Elf Aqui
taine, a company two-thirds
owned by the French government
and the new owner of Texasgulf,
the worlds largest producer of sul
phur. “We have majority control
and we move ahead,” the spokes
man said.
Elf Aquitaine’s subsidiary,
E.A. Development Inc.,

stock by the midnight deadline,
giving it complete control.
More important for the mer
ger, the tenders amounted to
more than two-thirds of the out
standing stock, required under
Texas law for any acquisition to
take place.
Texasgulf was more than
one third owned by the Canadian
government, has major oil pro
ducing and mining operations in
Texas and Canada, and is head
quartered in Stamford, Conn.
As part of the deal the Canada
Development Corporation trades
its Texasgulf stock for Texasgulf
property holdings in Canada.
Texasgulf now passes into the
hands of one of the 10 largest oil
companies in the world, Elf
Aquitaine, as the U.S. govern
ment continues to study advan
tages foreign firms often enjoy in
U.S. acquisitions that are denied
by law to domestic firms.
The issue has become particu
larly acute in the case of Canadian
mergers across the border, since
Canadian law restricts U.S. in
vestment.
Several measures are moving
through Congress which would
either block foreign takeover
attempts or require foreign inves
tors to put up a percentage of
American-based collateral for
takeover loans. Meanwhile, the
Reagan administration is trying on
a diplomatic level to convince
Canada to ease its restrictions on
U.S. investment.
E.A Development Inc. paid $56
a share for the Texasgulf common
stock and $178.49 for the prefer
red stock. The company said, “As
previously announced Elf
Aquitaine intends to cause Texas
gulf to call for redemption the re
maining shares of preferred stock
and to enter into a merger agree
ment with Texasgulf whereby the
remaining holders of common
stock will receive $56 per share in
cash.”
The company spokesman said
he expects the remaining stock to
be purchased in “a matter of
weeks.”
4 break from
McKinney
jailhouse
United Press International
MCKINNEY — Built two years
ago at a cost of $8 million, the new
Collin County jail was promptly
declared escape-proof by builders
and county officials, a marvel of
electronic wizardry and steel bar
security.
It was a far cry from the De
pression-vintage sandstone cooler
it replaced, which seemed to
serve only as a jumping off point
for inmates on the move.
“I was up every three or four
months on jail breaks,” recalled
Sheriflfs Deputy George Brake-
field.
Last week embarrassed county
officials again heard the mournful
chords of another jailhouse rock.
Without guns or hostages, four in
mates walked away from the new
facility Friday after simply hack
ing a few bolt heads securing win
dows.
“Were going to, have to do
something about those windows, ”
huffed Collin County Sheriff Joe
Steenbergen. “I’d like to see them
(the windows) welded shut. If they
(inmates) go out the window, they
can’t get out.
“On this particular window
(used in the latest escape) when
the building settled, it created a
gap between the actual window
and the brick,” Steenbergen said.
“There was definitely a separation
between the window and the
brick. I can think of no other ex
planation than that the building
settled.”
Jail Designer Duane Jarvis
thinks all the complaints are mere
window-dressing to the real point.
“Why was a prisoner armed
with a hacksaw blade?” he asked.
“Where was the guard during that
period?
Two of the four prisoners —
Michael Mitchell, 19, and Phillip
Followell, 22, — remain at large.
Thomas Bell, 23, and Levester
Hunt, 22, were recaptured within
days, authorities said.
“Ninety percent of the people
who indulge in crime have an
above average IQ,” said James
Apolito, jail sergeant. “They’re
smart people trying to get some
thing for nothing. I’m grateful
they found a way to get out with
out hurting anyone. By doing
what they did, we found another
way of making this place secure.
Nobody’s perfect.”
