Leak in pipeline
triggers oil slick
near Galveston

GALVESTON (AP) — A leak in an
underground transmission line trig
gered an oil slick in the Gulf of Mex
ico that stretched about 20 miles
long and three miles wide, officials
said Monday.
So far, no signs of damage caused
by the leak had been spotted, U.S.
Coast Guard spokesman Mark Ken
nedy said.
“It seems to be moving slightly
more off shore,” Kennedy said.
Amoco Pipeline Co., operator of
the transmission line, reported the
leak about 7 a.m. Monday. The re
sulting oil slick, which was not con
tinuous, was 30 to 35 miles southeast
of Galveston and involved about
14,000 42-gallon barrels of crude oil,
Kennedy said. The leak had been
sealed off Monday.
“We’re dealing with just what’s in
the slick,” Kennedy said.
Northeast winds reported early
Monday afternoon were helping to
break up the slick, along with waves
and the current, he said.
“We haven’t seen any definite
signs of damage,” Kennedy said.
Generally, there is more environ
mental damage when a slick comes
ashore than when it stays out in the
ocean.
Amoco spokesman Ray Thomp
son said the 14-inch transmission
line will be repaired and crews were
going out to the site Monday to de
termine what else could be done.
The line runs about three feet under
the ocean floor.
“We haven’t been able to deter
mine the source of the leak,”
Thompson said. “We haven’t had
any particular trouble with that li
ne.”
The line is part of the High Island
Pipeline System in the Gulf that
transports crude oil from offshore
rigs to various systems in the Texas
City area, he said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Officials
of several suburban communities are
considering dropping the San Anto
nio Emergency Medical Service,
claiming it is inadequate and too ex
pensive.
The controversy over the emer
gency service comes after EMS re
cords revealed accident victims in
San Antonio had to wait longer for
an ambulance than those in Austin,
Dallas or El Paso.
Art Herrera, an administrative as
sistant to San Antonio fire Chief I.O.
Martinez, said EMS has contracts
with 10 suburban cities for ambu
lance service, charging each accord
ing to population.
City officials from Shavano Park,
Hill Country Village and Leon Val
ley, however, are among those dis
cussing options to the current emer
gency service, including contracting
with a private ambulance company.
“The cost has skyrocketed,” Leon
Valley City Manager Don Manning
said. “It has more than doubled in
the past five years.”
Leon Valley gave notice in Sep
tember that it will not renew its EMS
contract after this fiscal year, when it
will pay a projected $134,968 from
37, ' "
through Sept. 30, Man-
Oct. 1, 198-
ning said.
Shavano Park Mayor John
Horner said his city paid $21,418 for
the San Antonio EMS to respond to
30 calls.
Another San Antonio suburb, Hill
Country Village, paid $1,200 per call
for ambulance service last year.
Mayor Otis Hibler said.
“We’re subsidizing the service, but
we’re trying to be financially
prudent,” he said. “We have not
been pleased with the response
time.”
EMS answered 66,385 calls in
1987, with 1,302 calls made in all the
suburbs and 2,114 calls made in
unincorporated Bexar County, The
remaining 51,969 calls were made
within the San Antonio city limits.

DALLAS (AP) — Five business
men were charged with financial
wrongdoing in connection with a
sweeping U.S. Justice Department
investigation into fraud among
Texas’ ailing savings and loan insti
tutions, authorities said Monday.
U.S. Attorney Marvin Collins of
Dallas called the charges “open
salvo” in the beginning stages of the
probe, described as the largest FBI
investigation of white collar crime in
the Southwest.
“This is a significant step early in
the life of the task force,” Collins
said. “We’re now seeing the first re
sults of this investigative effort.
“We’re hopeful this early success
tends to cause others who are under
investigation to decide what they are
going to do.”
He said four of the five men have
either pleaded guilty or agreed to
enter a guilty plea and are charged
in information counts, agreeing to
cooperate with the task force’s inves
tigation. The fifth man is charged in
a three-count indictment filed in
Dallas federal court.
More than 50 agents and attor
neys from the FBI, Internal Reve
nue Service, Department of Justice,
U.S. attorney’s office and Federal
Home Loan Bank Board are in
volved in the investigation, which be
gan last fall and is expected to take
three to five years.
The task force represents the^
largest commitment of human re
sources and money ever to investi
gate white-collar crime in the South
west, Bobby Gillham, special agent
in charge of the FBI’s Dallas divi
sion, said.
Officials refused to say how many
people are under investigation but
confirmed they were looking into ir
regularities at 25 thrifts and 10
banks in Texas.
Three of the five were charged in
connection with a 1983 loan kick-
back at the State Savings and Loan
Association of Lubbock.
Thrift owner Tyrell G. Barker has
agreed to enter a guilty plea to a
charge of misapplication of funds in
the scheme through which he re
ceived a $100,000 kickback on a $2
million loan, Collins said.
Former real estate broker Larry
K. Thompson pleaded guilty on
charges of misapplication of funds,
and former broker Donald W. Nahr-
wold was slapped with a three-count
indictment for his role in the
scheme.
A fourth man, former Vernon
Savings and Loan senior executive
Vice President John G. Smith,
agreed to plead guilty to mat
false statement on the thrift'sf|
terly report to the Federal 1
Loan Bank Board, Collins said |
The fifth charge was
truer Commerce Bank of Plant 1 1
executive officer Sam Thomas|
who pleaded guilty to misreprS
ing the financial condition ('
