tore through the main building

one workman and injuring six
others.

apparent malfunction of a
check valve in the oil pipeline.
The $7.7 billion pipeline was
shut down Friday after the ex
plosion and resulting fire left
the pump house building a
blackened and twisted maze of
structural steel. The pipeline it
self was not damaged.
Within two hours of the ex
plosion, five persons were hop
sitalized and a sixth person was
treated and released,
authorities said. None of those
hospitalized was in serious
condition, officials said.
It was the second time this
week that Alyeska Pipeline
Service Co. had been forced to
close the line. On Monday, the
first flow of oil through the 800-
mile pipeline was shut off for 64
hours after a crack was dis
covered in a pipe just outside
the pump station.
Alyeska Pipeline Service Co.
officials were unable to say
when the oil would start flowing
again. The oil flow, which began
June 20, had been almost
exactly on schedule despite the
earlier shutdown. Alyeska had
expected the first oil to arrive in
Valdez about July 20.
John Ratterman, an Alyeska
spokesman, said: “The prelimi
nary thinking is that we can run
oil through the station without
using the pumps or turbines. We
do not think, on a preliminary
basis, that there will be a long
down time.”
State Pipeline Coordinator
Chuck Champion said theo
retically it would not be difficult
to bypass the pump station. It
could be done merely by turning
a valve at the manifold station.
The pipeline is connected to
the pump station through a sep
arate section of pipe that origi
nates in the manifold building.
That building apparently was
not seriously damaged.
While other pumps can take
up the slack, Champion noted
that engineers likely will want
to check the pumps at the other
11 pump stations on the line.
This could take several days, he
said.
The roof and sides of the
pump house were blown away
by the explosion at 3:45 p.m.
The blast sent a huge plume of
gray-black smoke into the air.
It took firemen some two
hours to bring the flames under
control. The workman’s body
was found in the rubble a couple
of hours after the blast.
The pump house worker told
The AP that the check valve had
been closed and the flow of oil in
the line stopped so workmen
could remove a filter located
just ahead of the pumps at the
station.

Senate may probe crime in Florida
WASHINGTON (AP) - Or
ganized crime and drug traf
ficking in South Florida may be
investigated by the U.S. Senate,
says Sen. Lawton M. Chiles.
Senate permanent subcom
mittee on investigations in
formed Chiles that the matter is
being studied, the Florida
Democrat said Friday.
Chiles requested investiga
tions and hearings by the Sub
committee after receiving an
in-depth briefing from federal
law enforcement officials re
garding the crime and drug
problem.
In response to his request,
Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., vice
chairman of the subcommittee,
wrote him, “I share your con
cern with respect to the matters
raised and information received ,
from South Florida regarding
the presence of organized crime
figures and criminal activities
in that area.
“I have asked the subcom- ;
mittee staff to explore the prop
er roles the subcommittee
might play with respect to an [
investigation of organized 'i
crime.”
Sen. Nunn indicated that after |
