Oil reserve fire contained
HACKBERRY, Ja.—A small fire was contained early yesterday at the strategic petroleum reservoir where last week an explosion killed one worker and burned another and a five-day blaze burned $1 million of the nation's emergency oil stockpile.
Troubleshooters on Tuesday had plugged the shaft through which oil was flowing out of the 9-million barrel storage cavern.
The new fire erupted Tuesday but was confined to a pool of oil inside a dike and never spread to the well-head. Bill Park, deputy project manager, said the fire re-ignited because of hot spots in the pit of oil around the well.
Human Laetrile test proposed
HIMINGTON—The National Cancer Institute wants to test Lasterle on several hundred advanced cancer patients in an effort to resolve the debate about the controversial substance, Arthur C. Upton, the institute's director, said yesterday.
Upson said a human trial would be justified in the wake of a recent, inconclusive review of the medical records of patients who used Lutetia, which
The institute has refused for 15 years to test the substance, which is made from apricot pits.
the institute launched a nationwide appeal for records from Laetrile patients last January. It got 93 responses, but only 22 of the patients had used Laetrile and had provided all the necessary records. Of those six cancer patients who used Laetrile showed improvement, nine stayed the same and
seven got worse.
The Food and Drug Administration, which has led a federal fight against Laetrile, still must approve the institute's plan to use Laetrile in the human experiment.
Soviet blast felt in Arctic
WASHINGTON—U.S. officials said yesterday that seismic signals, presumably from a Soviet underground nuclear explosion, were recorded by an American atomic energy detection system Tuesday night.
The signals originated at 10:06 p.m. EDT in the Novayazemia site test in the Arctic, according to J.Cannon, a spokesman for the Energy Department.

**RUCK** — The Air Force will hold a private “appreciation” at the Appreciation Conference at Titan II intercontinental missile developed a deadly proppant leak Aug. 24.
Authorities at McCannell Air Force Base at Wichita said this week that the picnic, for which invitations were hand-delivered to residents, was one way the Air Force could show appreciation for Rock residents' patience during the Aug. 24 accident. Two airmen were killed in the incident.

Souvenir seller sentenced
LOS ANGELES - Gary Haller, 40, has been sent to 18 months in prison for selling non-existent American Bicentennial souvenirs to 17,000 persons in the United States.
U. S. District Judge Malcolm Lucas sentenced Halbert on 19 counts of mail fraud Tuesday, at the end of a four-day trial.
Prosecutors said Halbert and two associates offered special books and decorative plates through the mail. The books, the government said, were never published and only 300 plates were printed, although Halbert and his colleagues said they had 15,000 in stock.
Exile has skin test for poison
PARIS—Bulgarian exile Vladimir Kostov said Tuesday that he had samples of skin irritation in a hospital to determine whether he was the target of a campaign by a former regime official.
A friend of Kostov, Georguy Markov, died in London four days after being stabbed last month with what authority writes that a poison-tipped umbrella.
Kostov said the samples were taken in the presence of British and French police.
Man alters JFK testimony
But Joe Aleman, the exile, told committee lawyers that he was modifying the story about Kennedy being "hit" and that he feared for his own safety. He said he went into hiding after the Washington Post published his original story in 1976.
WASHINGTON - A Cuban exile who once said that a reputed organized crime chief boasted John F. Kennedy was "going to be hit" yesterday told House investigators the term probably did not mean the president was marked for murder.
Aleman attributed the statement on Kennedy's impending death to Santos Trafficante at a meeting in June or July 1983 in which the two men discussed a
Aleman testified he still thought Trafficite said during the meeting that Trafficite did not think he said he did not think at the time that Trafficite was referring to a murder case.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration vowed yesterday to step in to "start the trains running again" by noon today if the railroads and a striking union fail to settle disputes, crippling much of the nation's rail system for two days.
Deadline set to settle rail strike
Labor Secretary Ray Marshall ordered officials from the striking Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks and the Norfolk & Western Railway to begin a marathon, 24-hour effort in which they helped the help of a federal mediator at the Labor Department.
so days ago, escalated the strike to 40 other carriers
that were on call. The lines that were honored by
more than 300,000 railroad employees.
THE EXPANDED strike left thousands of commuters stranded and brought millions of tons of freight shipments, including half of all air rail food shipments, to a halt. After the first day of the shutdown, the two biggest U.S. auto makers, General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., announced layoffs because of parts shortages.
THE PARTIES began meeting at noon yesterday, and Marshall said he would keep them meeting around the clock in an effort to reach a settlement.
Otherwise, Marshall warned, "We'll take action at noon to start the trains running again."
start the train running again
the clerks' union, which struck the Virginia-based N&W
There were signs yesterday that the strike was abating. At least six railways that were picked Tuesday said the strike had been resolved.
Union officials, however, gave no indication they would call for an end to the picketing despite temporary court orders.
BRAC SPOKESMAN Henry Fleischer said the union
was removing pickets wherever it had been served with court orders. However, industry officials complied they were having difficulty finding union officials to serve court papers.
Marsail said the union had told him it was reluctant to end its picketing until it had a settlement with N&W.
Some 4,600 clerks struck N&W on July 10 because of a dispute over job protection benefits the union wants for workers who may lose their jobs to automation.
Union President Fred Kroel said the union picketed the other rail lines so the industry, which has been subsidizing the strikebound N&W with about $800,000 a day under a mutual aid pact, would pressure the N&W to settle with the union.
Industry officials estimated the picking had affected two-thirds of the nation's railroads in 42 states.
Third plane unlikely in jet crash
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal investigator said yesterday that it now appears remote that a third plane confused the pilot of a jetliner seconds before he collided with a passenger airplane, an unexplained mystery what the pilot meant when he told the tower, "They've passed."
A third plane, a twin-engine Cessna, actually was eight miles west of the area where the Pacific southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a single-engine Cessna flew in the Field Monday morning, said National Transportation Safety Board investigator Phil Hogue.
AT LEAST 150 persons were killed, including all 135 persons aboard the jet, both persons in the small plane and 13 persons on board, making it the worst air disaster in U.S. history.
Investigators said the death toll among those on the ground could go higher as coroner's deputies continued trying to identify bodies. Many victims were mutilated, and deputies were seeking dental charts for identification.
Warren Chambers, a deputy San Diego County coroner, said, "It may be days before we know exactly how many actually did die while going about their business.
Tuesday Hogue indicated that the tower remark referred to the twin-engine Cessna and he suggested McFenor may have been unaware that there was actually another small plane in the area, the Cessna with which he collided three miles from Lind
McFeron told the tower, "They've passed."
"WE CAN PICK out people who lived in that particular area who are missing and apparently died but that does not rule out the possibility of a number more."
BUT WHEN THE twin-engine Cessna was located, it was determined the aircraft was eight miles west of where the crash occurred. House said yesterday.
Hogue had said Tuesday that tapered conversations indicated that Lindbergh traffic controllers told the PSA pilot, James Hogue. "That was also making an approach to the field."
"Whether the twin-engine Cessna was a factor seems remote at this time," said Hogue. "It would seem to eliminate the third aircraft but I can't eliminate it."
Eliminating the third-plane theory "still leaves the questions of who or what McFeron saw," Hogue said. "We've got pieces We've trying to put them together."
