LEMONT, Ill. — The death toll
from one of the worst oil refinery ac
cidents on record climbed to 15
Wednesday and the coroner said
searchers may never find the bodies
of two people missing since two ex
plosions leveled the plant.
The 15th victim, Perry Parker, 38,
of Lockport, died in the University
of Chicago Hospital burn unit,
where he was taken by helicopter
following Monday evening’s double
explosions at Union Oil Co.’s largest
U.S. refinery.
Searchers looked for more vic
tims, but Will County Coroner Rob
ert J. Tezak said they may never find
the bodies of at least two workers
known missing.
“It’s really difficult because the
debris is so spread out and you have
to concentrate in one area,” Tezak
said.
Dental records, clothing, jewelry
and broken bones were among the
clues the coroner’s office used Tues
day night to identify 13 of the vic
tims, most of them burned beyond
recognition. A 14th victim remained
unidentified, the coroner’s office
said.
The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration was conduct
ing an investigation at the 1,030-acre
refinery where 20 people were in
jured.
A mechanical failure in a gasoline
refining tower was listed as the ten
tative cause of the accident, consid
ered the second worst refinery fire
in U.S. history in terms of lives lost
and the worst since OSHA began
keeping records in 1971.
The only worse refinery fire oc
curred in Sunray, on July 29, 1956,
when 19 people were killed in a simi
lar accident.
The blast knocked out one-sixth
of Illinois’ refining capacity, and
caused damage estimated by indus
try sources at $25 million.
Most of those killed in the blast
were company workers, including
firefighters responding to reports of
a gas Teak.
“Some of them never made it out
of their trucks,” Tezak said.
The last of the flames from the
double explosion that shook houses
50 miles away and sent smoke shoot
ing thousands of feet into the air
were extinguished Tuesday af
ternoon.

Trains

“There’s no way we can say we’ve
saved a life, but if we educate one
person, it satisfies ourselves,” Smith
said.
• Where there are two or mort
parallel tracks, make sure all tradi
are clear before proceeding.
They offer these life-saving points
to keep people from becoming one
of their statistics:
Operation Lifesaver offers tli«
additional rules:
• Never stop on the tracks. Cars
ahead and behind you may trap you
there. If your car stalls and a colli
sion is likely, get out and get clear.
Run in the direction from which the
train is approaching to avoid flying
debris.
• Be alert for warning sign
flashing lights or lowered gates an!
always slow down when approadiin,
a railroad crossing.
• Don’t outdrive your headlights.
About half of all crossing accidents
occur when cars slam into the sides
of trains the drivers didn’t see.
• Avoid alcohol, distractions such
as a loud stereo, and fatigue when
driving. A large percentage of cross
ing accidents are caused by those
factors. Roll windows down if nec
essary.
• Approach every crossingas
train were coming.

Murderer’s wife to sell story rights
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — The widow of
mass murderer James Oliver Hu-
berty said Wednesday she will sell
the rights to her story of life with the
mad gunman who killed 21 people
in a McDonald’s restaurant to the
highest bidder.
Etna Huberty said she was anx
ious about the future of herself and
her two daughters, Cassandra, 10,
and Zelia, 14.
Huberty told a San Diego tele
vision station, “I’m going to need
money. I got to thinxing, ‘Why be
stupid?’ To give it away is dumb.”
“She will sell her story to a compe
tent agency that will protect her
rights, ,V a friend, Ann Ruiz, added in
a letter published in the San Diego
Union Wednesday.
The letter said an offer to top all
bids for an exclusive interview had
been made by The National En
quirer.
“Her girls need to be educated
and Mrs. Huberty needs to conquer
her guilt feelings,” Ruiz said. “Her
life has been destroyed and she has
no idea what the future will bring.”
She said Huberty would like to re
tain an agency for the handling of
movie and book rights to provide
contributions to a community fund
for “education for the injured and
help her provide for her family.”
One week ago Wednesday, Hu
berty, 41, an unemployed security
guard, walked into a McDonald’s
branch a half block from his San Ysi-
dro apartment and shot to death 21
people and wounded 19 others be
fore being dropped by a police
sharpshooter. It was the worst one-
day slaughter by a lone gunman in
American history.
Huberty’s brain will be
rather than given to doctors for re
search because there was no reason
to believe they could learn anything
useful, Coroner David Stark said.
Neurologists from as far away as
the National Institutes of Healtnin
Maryland had asked Stark to freea
the brain to preserve chemical clue
that might explain Huberty’s at
tions.
Bowing to community sentimem,
McDonald’s Tuesday began disman
ding the murder site restaurant.
Hastily removed were all identift
ing signs at the building, includint
the trademark Golden Arches an)
playground equipment.
The company meanwhile rt
sumed radio and TV advertisini
which were suspended immediatel'
after the massacre.
