Gulf employees recalled;
threatened plant reopens
United Press International
BAYTOWN, — Gulf Oil Che
mical Co. officials issued a par
tial recall of employees at its ex
tortion-wracked Cedar Bayou
plant Tuesday and said it would
take at least two weeks before
operations were back at normal
levels.
Authorities in two states held
four Colorado residents under
bonds of $1 million each in
scheming to extort $15 million
from Gulf by threatening to
blow up the massive $1 billion
plant east of Houston.
Gulf spokesman O. Keith
Owen III estimated the recall
would involved about one-third
of the plant’s workforce. The
plant has a normal workfoce of
about 1,100.
“It is our best judgment that
the plant is secure,” he said.
“These employees will be en
gaged in preparation work,
readying the plant for a phased
return to operation. We have no
estimate at this time as to when
all of the processing units will be
returned to normal operations,
but we estimate it will be at least
two weeks,” Owen said.
The five-day shutdown trig
gered by an extortion letter and
the discovery of five bombs has
cost Gulf $4.5 million through
Monday, said spokesman Jerry
Bradley.
Although an extortion letter,
which reportedly set a Sunday
deadline for payment, said 10
devices were hidden at the
Cedar Bayou plant, Owens said
and “extensive search of plant
property has disclosed no addi
tional suspicious devices.”
He said no additional sear
ches of the property were plan
ned, “but we will be keeping our
eyes open.”
Gulf received the threat Sept.
28 in letters to four company ex
ecutives.
Two of the suspects have de
scribed themselves as armed
“survivalists” who believe there
may be a national crisis that will
result in panic.
John Pfeifenberger, execu
tive editor of the Durango
Herald, Monday said the sus
pects, Michael Worth, 34, and
John McBride, 46, were inter
viewed by the newspaper last
year in a story about survivalists.
Worth, McBride, Ted McKin
ney and Jill Bird, all of Durango,
have been charged with extor
tion.

United Press International
EDINBURG — Four aliens
fleeing the violence of El Salva
dor for a new life in America
were asphyxiated inside a re
frigerator truck and their 12
hysterical companions said the
smugglers planned to burn all of
them alive, authorities said
Tuesday.
“We have reports from the
aliens that an attempt was made
by the driver to set the aliens on
fire,” said EJ. Vickery, the U.S.
Border Patrol’s assistant chief in
McAllen, 10 miles south of Edin
burg where the victims were
found.
“But they screamed and hol
lered and a passerby called the
police and the driver apparently
panicked and left,” Vickery said.
Edinburg fire department
chief John Econonedes said
burned foam was found under
the truck which indicated an
attempt was made to burn the i
truck and the aliens.
Vickery said the aliens told
officers the driver told them he
was going to burn the truck with
them inside.
The dead aliens were in one
group of about 45 Salvadoran
nationals brought into the Un
ited States in three trucks, Vick
ery said. Three of the deceased
were men and the fourth was a
woman.
“We don’t know what hap
pened to the other two trucks,”
he said. “All we have is this re
frigeration truck in which we
found the bodies.”
The refrigerated tractor-
trailer van contained 26 aliens,
Vickery said, of which four died
and 10 were missing.
The rest were hospitalized,
two in critical condition.
Authorities believed the
aliens were headed, at least ini
tially, for Houston and then
Washington D.C.
Authorities were broadcast
ing a description of the smug
gling suspects as “two Anglo
men traveling in a white truck
pulled by a tractor.”
Vickery said the aliens “all ar
rived in Reynosa, Mexico, Sun
day morning. They split into two
groups and they crossed the Rio
Grande either by wading or
swimming.”
He saicl the Salvadorans had a
“Mexican guide with them” and
crossed into the United States
Sunday night, and the trucks
were waiting* approximatey 12
miles north of the border near
Edinburg.
The aliens then wer placed
into smaller trucks, taken to a
house and some were later put
in the refrigeration van, Vickery
said.
“The air conditioner was
turned on, then the driver or
drivers went somewhere for
some reason,” Vickery said.
“When they returned, the en
gine had probably died or the air
conditioner was turned off.
When the drivers found the
people dead, they shut the door,
tried to set it on fire, panicked
and left,” Vickery quoted the
aliens as stating.
