(AP) Blast rips pipeline • PUMP STATION No. 8, Alaska (AP) — Oil will resume flowing through the Alaskan pipeline only after engineers ’ are sure they have pinpointed the cause of an explosion that tore through the main building , of a pump station here, killing one workman and injuring six others. One pump station worker, • who asked not to be identified, told The Associated Press that the explosion was caused by the Officials ' to attend ■ conference Griffin city officials expected to attend the 44th annual con vention of the Georgia Municipal Association In Atlanta next week include 0 Mayor Raymond Head, City Commissioners R.L. “Skeeter” Norsworthy, Dick Mullins, City Manager Roy Inman, City Atty. • Bob Smalley and Clifford Hutson, director of the electric department.

Haisten Brothers, Inc. Funeral Service Griffin—Jaduon—Barnesville 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. ‘■/ar A Summer Savings. o kz-x A \ ' - ■ ■ Our cross-over natural cup bra Comfort Hours® waistline girdle is now a comfortable 20% off. has control front panel support. ; f Sale 3.20 Sale 8.00 4 | Refl- N y |on tr ' cot w <ih nylon/Lycra® Reg. $lO.
