Cargo plane falls
short of runway,
injures 2 on board
off
DALLAS (AP) — A cargo plane
spun out of control and crashed
Monday short of the runway at Red
Bird Airport, injuring two people
aboard the craft, authorities said.
“A large plane crashed,” airport
spokesman Richard Janousek said.
“I don’t exactly know what kind it
is.”
He said the plane crashed shortly
before 6 p.m.
Electricity in operations offices at
the airport was cut, but power was
later restored, he said.
According to unofficial, initial re
ports, only two people were aboard
the aircraft, described as a Lockheed
Lodestar cargo plane, and both sur
vived the crash.
Officials said the crash site was
near U.S. Highway 67 on Dallas’
southwest side, inside the city limits.
Duncanville Fire Department
spokesman Steve Hall said the
plane’s occupants were hurt but he
did not know the extent of their in
juries.
“One of the men was really torn
up,” said Jenarold Triplett, manager
of a McDonald’s restaurant who
watched the crash a short distance
from the business.
“And another barely walked away,
but he did walk,” she said. “But they
got out of the flames in time.”
The plane “came out of the sky
and was spinning around,” Triplett
said.
“It was spinning but barely under
control,” she said. “Then they must
have lost it, and it went straight
down.
“It blew up. It blew up twice.
When it hit, it blew and then it blew
again. And all the lights went out.
“I was watching out the window
when it happened. Parts are scat
tered everywhere.”
The craft was believed to be a 12-
passenger plane but there were no
further details, said a civilian work
ing in the Dallas Police Department
dispatch office who identified her
self only as Rodriguez.
Railroad official says
campaign will focus
on presidential race
AUSTIN (AP) — Railroad Com
missioner Jim Nugent on Monday
said his re-election campaign will in
clude a close watch on the presi
dential contenders.
“The Super Tuesday primary
gives us all a priceless opportunity to
insist that the candidates in both par
ties speak to the energy issue with
concrete and specific programs that
will help get Texas back to work,”
Nugent said.
Nugent has served for nine years
on the three-member panel that reg
ulates the energy and transportation
industries in Texas.
“The job is tougher now than ever
before,” Nugent said. “This is not
the time to be training a commis
sioner with no experience in state
government. It requires experience
and tough outspoken leadership if
our commissioners are to make the
kind of difference in the creation of
a national policy that they have in
the past,” he said.
Nugent again urged his “energy
recovery program” that includes tax
breaks as an incentive for explora
tion and drilling. He said he would
be shopping his plan with the presi
dential candidates.
“I do not intend to endorse any
one (candidate) but I am prepared
to take any candidate to the oil patch
and to educate any candidate who
feels the need to learn about the eco
nomic consequences of unstable en-
ergy prices,” he said.
Commissioner seeks
to encourage search
for new gas supplies
m
AUSTIN (AP) — Railroad Com
missioner John Sharp said Monday
he will propose a change of commis
sion rules to encourage exploration
for new gas supplies in Texas.
. Under Sharp’s proposal, gas wells
in new fields would be allowed to
produce at maximum deliverability
for two years from the date the first
gas from the field is sold, or until the
sixth well is completed, whichever
comes first.
Then, the wells would come un
der the commission’s normal gas
proration system.
Pipelines would be required to
take such new gas supplies before
gas from most other wells. After two
years, or completion of the sixth

AMARILLO (AP) — It may have
looked like a scene from the movie
“Easy Rider,” but it was all for a
good cause when hundreds of bikers
rolled into town with toys strapped
to their Harley Davidsons.
Motorcycle riders from through
out the Texas Panhandle and nearby
states shed their tough-guy image
this weekend to help gather toys for
needy children.

well, the wells would join other wells
under the regular priority system.
“I’ve been told by independent
producers that their bankers will not
approve loans for new discovery
wells because they fear they can’t sell
it if they find it,” Sharp said. “This
rule does away with that argument
by insuring this gas a place in the
market.”
He said studies show that unless
something is done to stem falling gas
production in Texas, the state could
have critical gas supply problems
within two or three years.
“In fact, we could have some spot
deliverability problems this winter if
we get a cold snap,” he said.

BAY CITY (AP) — Matagorda
County officials say workers in the
district clerk’s office are in no dan
ger from a spill of highly toxic pesti
cide that was being stored as evi
dence.
The chemical — dapona — was
being stored as evidence in the re
trial of a lawsuit that claims the
chemical killed “Superman 1024,” a
prized Santa Gertrudis bull.
Deputy Clerk Becky Denn said
she was moving an evidence box
when she discovered the leak Friday
afternoon. ^
