Fast chase Warped
ends with
collision
United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — A Loui
siana teenager trying to elude police
in a stolen luxury car drove it at a
high speed up the wrong side of the
city’s highest bridge and was killed in
a head-on collision with two other
vehicles, police chief Bill Banner
said.
Glen Hawlett, 15, of Gretna, La.,
was pinned in the late-model Lin
coln Continental and was pro
nounced dead at the scene of the
wreck that backed up traffic for
nearly an hour over the Habor
Bridge. The bridge connects Corpus
Christi and Portland.
Banner said a stolen pistol was
found lying between the dead teen
ager’s legs.
Hawlett’s companion, teenager
Randy Kirk, was among four people
injured in the wreck and was treated
at Memorial Hospital. No one was
seriously injured.
Also hurt were Johnny Bustillo,
driver of a van, and his passenger,
Roy Soliz, both of nearby Simon,
and Raymond Villarreal, who was
driving a pickup truck involved in
the collision.
Banner said the chase began when
Patrolman Richard Garcia spotted
the Continental in downtown Cor-
E us Christi not long after the car al-
■gedly was used in an aggravated
assault and theft at a central gasoline
station.
Garcia reported that the Conti
nental, which had Louisiana license
plates, sped away and entered the
exit ramp onto the bridge going
against traffic.
The officer said he did not imme
diately pursue the fleeing car be
cause he had to stop and allow a ci
vilian passenger to get out of the cdr.

Surveying by satellites
cuts down cost, tedium
United Press International
AUSTIN — A new satellite tech
nology promises a savings in money,
and often cuts out weeks of drudg
ery as well, in the boring but impor
tant task of surveying that must be
done by the Texas Department of
Highways and Public Transporta
tion.
The highway department is the
first state agency in the nation to use
satellite surveying, says Roger Mer-
rell, an engineer with the depart
ment’s automation division.
“Satellite surveying is simply the
use of earth-orbiting satellites to de
termine one’s position,” he said,
adding that the state does about 800
miles of mapping and 1,200 miles of
traverse surveying each year.
Texas is using two satellite systems
in the project.
The Transit System, which has
been in use since I960, orbits about
600 miles above Earth, and the sec
ond, Navstar GPS, orbits 12,000
miles above Earth.
As the satellites sail over, they
transmit signals that include data
about the location of the satellite and
information from extremely accu
rate clocks on board.
Ground positions are determined
by measuring the distance between
the satellites and the instruments on
the ground bv listening to the signals
from the satellite.
“If you hdve ever listened to a
train passing you with the whistle
blowing, you have heard the Dopp
ler effect,” says Merrell. “As the
train comes down the track toward
you, the pitch of the whistle changes.
“It’s that sort of thing, in simple
terms, that we are measuring as the
satellites move across the sky.”
The highway department crews
measure the change in the signal
phase angle to compute their posi
tions, making hundreds of such
measurements in a matter of a few
minutes.
Merrell said it is possible to deter
mine positions with only one re-
mgt
.als.
the range vectorai
but additional re
ceiver measunn
periodic interva
ceivers are best.
“With a single receiver, you miglii
get your position down to within,
say, one meter,” he said. “With more
receivers, you can get it down to, say
three millimeters ... at a distanced!
one-half mile or so.”
Merrell says the department!
crews, using the satellite surveying
equipment, normally get mea
surements ranging in ratios of preci
sion of from 1:200,000 to 1:500,000
The major drawback to the satcl
lile surveying is that with onlysixsa-
tellites aloft, the state has only a sis-
or seven-hour window in which to
receive signals. The window move
about four minutes a day, meaning
crews often must work at night.
But Merrell says studies thus fat
have determined that with satellitt
surveying, work crews can accompl
ish in one hour what it previously
took six hours to accomplish.

Even the possibility of being fined
up to $200 fails to keep some people
from littering area lakes.
Volunteers collected more than
17 tons of trash from the shores of
lakes Sam Rayburn, Grapevine, and
Lewisville this summer as part of the
Texas Conservation Foundation’s
First Annual Texas Lakeshore
Cleanup Project.
“The corps of engineers at Lake
Somerville is planning a similar
cleanup project for next year,” Guy
Hopson, reservior manager at Lake
Somerville, said.
Several area bass clubs have al
ready begun efforts for park im
provements.
“Habitat improvements which will
aid the spawning of small fish have
already been made,” Hopson said,
“and plans for general cleanup and
individual park improvements are in
the works.”
Hopson said the official project
probably will take place each year in
the spring “when the weather is
cooler and it’s less humid. That way
more people may be willing to par
ticipate.”
Plans to expand next year’s pro
gram across tne state will be com
pleted only if corporate sponsors
and local volunteers are found.
“The success of the Lakeshore
Cleanup Project is almost completely
depenaent on the public’s interest in
the program and their willingness to
work,” said Ben Fulshe, spokesman
for the Boating Trades Association
of Texas, the major source of fund
ing for this year’s project.
The Texas Conservation Founda
tion estimated the volunteers —
members of various bass clubs, con
servation groups, scout troops and
trade associations — who partici-
E ated in the program this year col-
:cted an average of more than 80
pounds of trash per person.

B-1 crash investigated; program to continue
SKYWAY 822-3300
United Press International
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif.— Investigation into the first
crash of a B-1 bomber began Thurs
day, and the secretary of the Air
Force said the program would con
tinue despite the death of a test pilot
and injury of two crew members.
In Washington Thursday, Air
Force Secretary Verne Orr said
Wednesday’s crash of a B-1 A proto
type “was most unfortunate” but
that the new version of the plane
called the B-1 A would be unveiled
Tuesday as scheduled.
Killed in the crash was Tommie
Douglas Benefield, 55, of Marshall,
the chief test pilot for Rockwell In
ternational, manufacturer of the
bomber. Benefield died in the ejec
tion capsule, an Air Force spokes
man said.
“We grieve with the family of
Doug Benefield and the families of
those Air Force officers who were in
jured,” Orr said in a statement, but
added, “We anticipate no impact on
the projected first flight of the B-1B
in October or the overall project.”
A half-mile area surrounding the
charred wreckage was sealed off for
a military board of inquiry that be
gan arriving hours after the plane
went down about 10 miles nortneast
of the sprawling Southern California
base.
“Because it’s the first time a B-1
has crashed, they will be writing the
book all over again,” said Master Sgt.
Gerry Ditchfield, an Air Force
spokesman.
The accident occurred on the
127th test flight of the bomber pro
gram. Investigation results are not
expected for 40 to 60 days.
Master Sgt. Wally Ross said all
three crew members were in an ejec
tion capsule that was carried to earth
by parachute. The new version the
plane will have individual ejection
seats.
The injured airmen were in stable
condition at a hospital in Lancaster,
Calif. They were Maj. Richard V.
Reynolds, 35, of Hoquiam, Wash.,
and Capt. Otto J. Waniczek, 30, of
Seattle.
Lt. Col. Alan Sabsevitz said the jet,
which Ohio Sen. John Glenn, a for
mer test pilot and astronaut, flew in
last week,* was the first B-1 bomber
to crash.
The B-1 bombers, costing up to
$40 million each, have been contro
versial since the first contract was
awarded in 1970. Critics contend tl
plane would be obsolete before
was deployed. ,
Sabsevitz said the pl ane ^
crashed was the second of four ®
bombers built and was being used
study handling characteristics <
the new B-IB.
The plane was built in 1974
first flew in 1976 until Preside'
Gaiter scrubbed the program.
dent Reagan resurrected t [ ie L
gram that Carter scrubbed m ^
and ordered production or
more jets. Funds await congress' 0
approval. •
The B-1, with a 136-foot ^
span and a maximum speed ot i
mph, was designed to re P* a u ce r
larger B-52, backbone of the
Force’s strategic bomber fte et
the 1950s.
