Page 8 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1979 Amtrak suit set for today United Press International WICHITA, Kan. — U.S. District Court Judge Frank Theis will hear arguments today in a suit filed by the state of Kansas to block the cutoff of Amtrak s Lone Star Line, sceduled for Oct. 1. Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan filed suit in federal court Aug. 31, seeking a temporary in junction against Amtrak before the Lone Star — which operates be-, tween Chicago and Houston — is eliminated. The suit claims that Amtrak vio lated govermental rules by failing to conduct hearings in Kansas before deciding to discontinue train serv ice. Stephan is seeking the injunc tion to preserve existing service. Amtrak service will continue in Missouri between St. Louis and Kansas City for another year be cause the Missouri Legislature de cided to appropriate $300,000 to keep it in operation under a cost sharing arrangement with the fed eral government. But Kansas cannot take advantage of such a plan with the federal gov ernment, state officials have said, because it would apparently be un constitutional. Stephan’s suit is similar to actions filed in Texas, Oklahoma and California. Oil threat over for Padre Island? Come in and relax over cheese and wine with one of our professionals.

DAILY United Press International CORPUS CHRISTI — There were indications today the threat of more oil from the Campeche Bay blowout had ended for Padre Island, the 120-mile-long resort beach which was polluted by tons of crude oil and tarballs in August. “It’s been slow the past 10 days,” said Jerry Hill, a spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “We haven’t seen any oil. There are a few small tarballs scattered on I the beach. Crews go out maybe ! once every two or three days and : clean them up. Somebody said the beaches are cleaner than they usu ally are.” A NOAA aircraft flew along the coast south of Tampico, Mexico, on Tuesday and spotted no concen trations of oil in the area, Hill said, and planned Wednesday to fly from Corpus Christi to Brownsville look ing for any signs of the slick. At its height, the slick containing thick patches of petroleum-water emulsion known as mousse stretched 600 miles from the blown- out Ixtoc I well to north of Corpus Christi, threatening to enter ecolog ically sensitive bays on the South Texas Coast during August. But around Sept. 1, a seasonal shifting of currents from north to south began and the slick, fed by more than 2 million barrels of oil since the well blew out on June 3, began receding farther south. “Since Sept. 21, the only oil sighted offshore by reconnaissance flights has been in the Bay of Cam peche southeast of Tampico,” said Coast Guard spokesman Richard Griggs.
