Tanker is ready to go despite pipeline delay
VALDEZ, Alaska (UPI) – The trouble-plagued Alaska airplane was shut down again Sunday, this time for 6½ hours, but the delay was not expected to affect the departure today of the first cargo of North Lake soil south to other states.
Officials said mechanical failures at two pump stations forced the shutdown of oil flowing from the 799-mile pipeline just as the first shipment of oil loaded the first shipment at the port of Valdez.
But oil flow slowly resumed and the problem was not expected to delay the Juneau, which holds 800,000 arrets of oil, because enough oil had already made its way through the pipeline to load it, officials said.
Spokesmen for Alyske, a consortium of oil companies which built the pipeline, said the line had been closed from 4.a.m. to 12:30 p.m. because gas-type fire suppression systems were back at Pump Station No. 1 and a small valve opened at Pump Station No. 9.
The flow of oil resumed as half a dozen more freighters made their way to Valdez to
Alyske spokeemen said the pipeline was reopened when the fire equipment was
NEW YORK (UPI) — A gunman police believe is the psychopathic killer "Son of Sam" added two more victims to his list yesterday morning, stepping one more out of the shadows to critically wound a young boy on a parked car on a quiet Brooklyn street.
The shutdown was the sixth delay of oil through the pipeline since the flow began from Prudhoe Bay on June 20. The line has been plagued with explosions, sabotage,
The shooting occurred despite beefed-up patrols that were set up in fear for the gunman, who already had killed five persons and wounded six in the past year, would strike on the anniversary weekend of his first attack.
"Son of Sam" sought in Sunday shootings
King of Hoboes buried by rails he used to ride
BRITT, I pine tree (UPI)—A king was buried beneath a pine tree this weekend, not far from where he could have boarded his royal coach.
But no trumpets sound or heads of state bowed, for the king was a commoner—known to his friends as the Hardrock Kid, a horse abhorred by those whose coach was a railroad carbox.
The Kid, born 72 years ago "somewhere in the East" as J Johnis M渍, died July 14 in a city park in Ogden, Iowa, much as he had lived—睦 under a tree. A search for the lost friends of two friends in Ogden and in Britt provided a funeral, a burial lot and some flowers.
Those friends were plentiful Saturday as hundreds crowded a funeral home in Ogden and a cemetery in Britt to say farewell to the thin man with the scraggly beard who mined gold in Colorado and who had spent 20 summers traveling around Iowa.
SOME OF THE TIEFES were hobbies, too, with names like StemTrainMaura, Frypan, Mr. Gossard and Ms. Businessman businessmen along. Main Street in Ogden had looked forward to visits from the Kid, and old man Britt who looked like a horse was often be hobens, or who had wished they were.
SteamTrain—elected almost exactly a year ago at the Britt National Hobo Convention as 1976 King of the Hoboes—was an ally of many more friends in the state than anyone living."
"That was his home. You were his home,
his friends."
"Everywhere I go, people say they saw him," SteamTrain说. "There isn't a town or a hamlet or a crossroads in this state where he hasn't staved.
AS THE OGDEN funeral service neared its end, the organist played "King of the Road" for the Kid, who had been elected King of the Hoboes five times.
Eighty miles to the north, a thunderstorm brewed as the Kid's friends later jammed between them. The train traveled more than 100 feet from railroad tracks that led Milwaukee road freights through
SteamTrain, his silver hair and beard ruffled by the wind, pointed at the Kid's window.
"He's still layin' close to his tracks," he said. "He's still ridin.'
Frypan Jack and Sparky Smith wept softly and wiped their faces with bandannas as Father J. J. Brickley, a Roman Catholic priest, said a graveside prayer.
STEATRMIA PLACED upon the casket a红 bandanna he said he had worn in
"We bid you Godspeed," he said, raising a cane.
The casket was lowered into the ground, and the hobbes and people of Britt filed quietly by, each throwing down a handful of dirt.
The last problem was resolved just three days earlier when technicians restarted the pumps after completing government orders on 14 welds in the oil terrace at Vallejo.
The Kid had ended his wordy travels, but his spirit will always be riding the rails. Scooter is a new addition.
faulty welds, a cracked section of pipe and noower subpool problems.
The start of the $9-billion pipeline was marked on its first day six weeks ago by a leak at Pump Station No. 1. This was the second time the leak drew up in a pump station and killed a worker.
The victims, Robert Violante and Stacy Moskowitz, both 20 and both of Brooklyn, were shot in the head and reported in critical condition at a hospital.
Detectives of the special 60-man homicide task force set up to track the killer said all indications that the assailant was "Son of John" and they waited for ballistics tests confirmation.
"Based on the style of shooting, it's the same person. Kernel, koch, chief, wild, veteran."
Ballistics experts were examining the bullets to determine if they matched the slugs that were recovered from each of seven previous attacks by the psychopathic killer who uses a 44-caliber Charter Arms "Bullbar" pistol.
The killer's motus operandi in the Sunday morning shooting exactly matches that of a real-life execution, except exception: it was the first time he struck outside the boroughs of Queens and the Bronx.
Police said they had concentrated their efforts over the weekend in the Bronx and Queens where the killer previously confined his attacks. But yesterday the gunman struck in Brooklyn's middle-class Bensonhurst section.
The move into Brooklyn presented awesome complications for the police, who have already launched the biggest manhunt of city's history in an effort to catch the killer.
The police were especially on guard this weekend, particularly Friday, which was the anniversary of "Son of Sam" s's first attack. The killer, who has written letters to newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin, responded to the anniversary in a letter to Breslin.
Initial reports indicated there were witnesses to the shooting, but Edward Dahlem, police sergeant, said the reports were discouraging.
"We're talking to people and we're evaluating them, the said. We have no one who's working on that."
Michael Codd, police commissioner, said that residents of the neighborhood had seen police officers on patrol.
"He was a white man," Codd said,
"wearing blue dungarees and a white shirt,
29 to 35 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall."
Officials said that barring mishaps, the Juneau, an 833-foot Arco tanker, would depart for a refinery at tanker Point, Wash. today.
That description matches the one police have put together from other incidents. The description, along with composite drawings, has been widely circulated in the city.
It was not immediately clear whether Codd would add more detectives to the task force hunting "Son of Sam." But officers must now widen their drape to three boroughs, and as one of them suggested, "we're getting stretched pretty thin."

Even before the first load of oil was aboard the Juneau, the six tankers were traveling through the Gulf of Alaska to lay up for the oil which Alyska hopes will earn back part of the $9 billion it cost to build the pipeline.
The Juneau made ready to depart as a 1,300-acre blaze north of the Yukon River.
Authorities said, however, that the blaze was burning away from the pipeline, and that a fireline had been set up to protect it. A firefighter who died by fires which have scorched $23,000 acres
