Padre officials fret as slick nears United Press International CORPUS CHRISTI — Federal monitors Monday declined to pre dict whether the giant Mexican oil slick, now just 107 miles south of Texas, might foul the state’s sandy white beaches, but officials at Padre Island National Seashore said they fear the worst. The slick, being fed by a well blowout in Mexico’s Bay of Cam peche, is projected to appear offshore from Brownsville, Texas, by this weekend. “We have come to the realization that things that get into the Gulf, in time, land on Padre Island, whether they be bottles or something,” said Bob Whistler, the chief naturalist at Padre Island National Seashore. Padre Island stretches 100 miles from Corpus Christi to Brownsville and is home to the federally pro tected area, as well as several resort beaches. Officials said the island’s “Big Shell” area, 35 miles south of Cor pus Christi, eventually seems to re ceive any debris appearing in the Gulf of Mexico. “Just the nature of the currents in the Gulf would make the Big Shell a likely place to get at least some oil,” added Max Hancock, chief ranger at the Seashore. “Conflicting currents in the area tend to bring in a lot of floatsam from the Gulf.” THE PREMIERE PLAYERS PRESENT 1 NffG HT Carl Posey, a spokesman at a fed eral oilsick monitoring post operat ing the past three weeks at Coast Guard headquarters, said Monday the latest flights by Coast Guard and National Oceanic and Atmosperic Administration aircraft pinpointed the lead edge of the slick 107 miles south of the mouth of the Rio Grande at Brownsville. Posey said the latest NOAA projection puts the leading edge of the oil slick, which is moving northward in several large patches, about 30-40 miles offshore the U.S.-Mexico border at Brownsville by Friday. Posey said the forecast would be updated later this week. “It’s a statistical forecast which doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,” Posey said. He said “the currents just aren’t well enough defined” for NOAA to make any prediction on whether the oil might eventualy move toward Padre Island. “The only other important de velopment is that the Coast Guard is beginning to move equipment in,” Poseys aid. “They’re not putting anything in the water. They’ve moved in some booms and if the oil seems to threaten, they’ll deploy to try to keep it (oil) on the seaward side of the barrier islands.” The oil slick — now the largest on record — began forming June 3 when a well being drilled in Mexico’s Bay of Campeche blew out, caught fire and began spewing 1.5 million gallons of oil a day. Mex ican officials have said it may be Oc tober before the well can be shut off.

"Some contain $5, $10, $50. One nan from California offered to send neat.” said Lorraine Wernert, pres- dent of the Bexar County Senior citizens Council which set up a spe- :ial Mattie Schultz Fund. “I have a tack in my hand about 6 inches hick.” Mrs. Schultz, who spent 24 hours n jail after being arrested on a mis- lemeanor charge of attempting to :ake $15 worth of ham, sausage and Hitter from a grocery store in her Hirse, was under observation at a ocal hospital for exahustion. Her :ondition was listed as satisfactory Monday. Her doctor said the elderly .woman needed rest from the ex- itement and hundreds of telephone alls she received after she was re leased from jail and the media circu lated her story nationwide. Wernert said she was “amazed” to bear Mrs. Schultz, described as fiercely independent, resorted to shoplifting food when so many free nutrition programs were available. Mrs. Schultz, who said she had been suffering heart problems, told reporters she stole because she was desperate” and could not pay her $75 rent, $18 in utilities and doctor bills each month and have enough left out of $251 n pensions to eat properly. She said she had lived mostly on cereal and milk the last few months. Since her arrest, a full-time wel fare worker has been assigned to her case and encouraged her to enter the hospital where she could rest. ation, Texas 77843. entitled exclusively^ dispatches credited N er matter herein resell >llege Station, TX ER •sociation ism Congress Karen Roj® ....
