FORT WORTH — A federal judge has set Aug. 9 for sentencing a couple authorities call a modern-day “Bonnie and Clyde” who allegedly robbed 14 North Texas banks in as many years. Lawrence Edward Byrom, 56, and his wife, Alice Elizabeth Marie By rom, 37, entered pleas of no contest to some of the heists before U.S. Dis trict judge David O. Belew Monday. Byrom faces a maximum of 100 years in prison. His wife faces 50 years. A no contest plea means the de fendants did not admit guilt but are also not challenging the allegations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Worley of Fort Worth said a guilty plea could be used later against them in state court. Byrom pleaded no contest to rob bing First State Bank of Milford, the First National Bank of Rhome, tht Fannin Bank of Windom and tk Collinsville State Bank, and hiswift g leaded no contest to the Fannin ank and the Milford robberiei During these robberies, $236,21(1 was taken. In exchange for the pleas, thefed- eral government agreed not to charge the two with any other banl; robberies.

The 27.5 percent hike would raise premiums paid by Texas employers by about $500 million. Industry spokesman said the rate increase should be 40.8 percent, which would increase premiums by $730 million. The three-member board indi cated it would take the recommen dations under consideration and make a decision later. Increased operating expenses, more expensive insurance losses and the hot competition among Texas companies were common reasons given for the need for an increase. Edwin Budd, chairman of the Travelers Corp., told the board, “We are just coming out of the most diffi cult period in the history of the in surance industry. During this pe riod, we did suffer painful losses in Texas. In the last three years, we had an operating loss of well over $48 million in our casualty-property business. In 1984, we lost more than our entire payroll .... Recently, we have had to put severe restrictions on both new and renewal (workers compensation) business.” Donald Frahm, president of Hart ford Fire Insurance Co., said his firm is represented by more than 600 Texas independent insurance agents. “We have, however, been viewing with increasing concern the deterio ration in our Texas underwriting re sults, both for workers compensa tion and other lines,” Frahm said. “During the period from 1980 through 1984, our workers compen sation loss ratio has risen from 68 percent to 95.9 percent.” Dan Stevens, chairman of the Texas Employers Insurance Associa tion in Dallas, said, “We have the largest share of the (workers com pensation) market in Texas. I don’t know whether to brag or cry.” Bob Davis, Dallas attorney rep resenting the Texas Compensation Consumers Association, questioned all witnesses closely as to whether much of the increased rates was not caused by the intense competition in the state. Charles Porter, chief actuary for the board, said he considered the staff-recommended increase “fair and reasonable” and adequate to cover the risks taken by insurance firms operating in Texas. The staff recommendation would allow firms 19.7 percent of their pre mium income with 80.3 percent re served to pay expected losses. gepubHcbank A&M sponsors blood drive The 4th Annual Repubticbank A&M-Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on Thursday^ from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Republkbaak A&M building.

Hotline ^ * . Bryan, TX 823-CARE ™ V-*- Associated Press TYLER — Ambivalent feelings lingered in the bare, muggy meeting room where about 200 people had gathered for a candlelight vigil to re member men still missing in Viet nam. The Texas veterans cried and boasted as they remembered their past. But they also chastised their government for its slowness in ar ranging the return of soldiers still missing in Vietnam. Hanoi announced in an early July meeting that it would return the re mains of 26 Americans. The United States and Vietnam have been nego tiating for the last I 0 years. Recently the countries agreed to meet six times a year to trade information and search for the missing. Lewis and Lora Wall, of Jackson ville, said they are afraid one of the bodies may be their son who has been missing for 19 years. The Walls said they don’t believe the government has done enough to find missing soldiers. “If they can get a task force to gether to rescue the hostages,” Lewis Wall said, referring to hostages of Trans World Airlines Flight 847, “why can’t they get together a tail force to rescue the MIAs? Someont needs to care.” The Texas veterans and families met last weekend in Tyto for National POW-MIA Day of Ref ognition.
