man was treated and released,
state police Lt. David Fermenter
said.
“They had brought a tank car
in to clean out and reload,” Per-
menter said. “Ordinarily thev
just have crude residue in them.
This one did not have crude — it
had nitrogen gas residue in it."
The tank car had returned
from Houston after carrying a
load of lubricating oil, f ire re
scue personnel said . The nit
rogen apparently was used as a
rust inhibitor.
There was no warning of nit
rogen in the car, Permenter
said, and a hazardous materials
expert was investigating the
accident.

Howard Conine, head
cashier of the Parkway Bank and
Trust, said the man took him
hostage at about 8 p.m. Wednes
day. Early Thursday the robber
took the man, his wife and child
to the bank where the official
withdrew the money.
The family then drove with
the robber to within a block of
their north Dallas home, and the
man got out of the car and
escaped.
A spokesman for Dallas police
said the man tried a similar
crime against an employee of ln-
terFirst Bank last month, but the
hostage and her boyfriend
escaped and the man failed to
get any money.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A federal
judge granted a preliminary in
junction Thursday blocking en

students to register for the draft

aid.
U.S. District Judge Donald D.
Alsop agreed with six anony
mous students who challenged
the law, saying they would not he
able to comply with it without
putting themselves in jeopardy
with the U.S. Selective Service
System.
Congress last year said stu
dents applying for loans or work
study funds must sign a state

for the draft before they could
get financial assistance. The law
was to have become effective be

year.

The suit was brought against
the federal government by the
Minnesota Public Interest Re
search Group, a student-funded
organization, along with six
anonymous male students.
Alsop said the Selective Ser

to get people to register for the
draft with the current penalties

Soviet satellite joins station
United Press International
MOSCOW — The Soviet Un
ion Thursday announced the
docking of a satellite with the
Salyut 7 space station in a move
western experts say may enable
man to permanently live in
space.
The news agency Tass said
the satellite, Cosmos 1443,
which was launched March 2,
docked with the space station at
3:20 a.m. CST.
The satellite provides for
further trials of on-board sys
tems, equipment and structural
elements of advanced space
vehicles and practicing methods
of control of orbital complexes
of a large size and weight, Tass
said. The dimensions of the
module were not disclosed.
When it was launched, west
ern space observers said the
satellite appeared to represent
the culmination of several years
of tests with other space stations
in preparation for permanent
occupancy.
One expert said the success
ful docking likely would he fol
