34 oil workers
flee sinking rig
GALVESTON (AP) — Thirty-
four oil rig workers arrived safely on
land Tuesday morning after their
platform sank into the Gulf of Mex
ico, forcing them to flee in water
tight escape capsules.
The workers on the rig E-302,
owned by Keyes Offshore Inc. of
Sugar Land, were evacuated Mon
day night in capsules from the rig,
82 miles south of Galveston, then
transferred to the workboat “Casey
Chouest” for transportation back to
Galveston, Bill Keyes, president of
Keyes .Offshore, said.
The vessel radioed the U.S. Coast
Guard at 1:17 a.m. that it had picked
up the workers, Coast Guard
officer Don Merwin said.
duty
when one of the 396-foot legs
punched through the Gulf floor,
Keyes said.
“It resulted in bending the three
legs on the rig,” he said. “The rig
was about five feet above the water
because we had not jacked up all the
way.”
Workers had been at the site
about three hours before the acci
dent, which happened in seconds, he
said.
Crews were able to get out to the
rig Tuesday morning to assess dam
age to the rig, company spokesman
Bill Flores said.
“It appears to be salvageable,” he
said of the rig. “It doesn’t appear as
bad as it originally looked.”
The research vessel “Geco
Longva” relayed a distress call to the
Coast Guard from the rig at 10:17
p.m. Monday, Merwin said. Coast
Guard rescue ships were dispatched
from Houston, Corpus Christi and
Sabine.
The workers were pre-loading the
180 -by 125-foot, triangular rig
“It’s a phenomena that this hap
pened in the Gulf,” Keyes said. “In
certain areas, the sand will support
the rig for a while and then it gives
way.”
Keyes said his company had
jacked up another rig in an adjoin
ing area with no problems and had
gathered information on the present
location, finding it suitable.
Mayor tells police
where to find body
before killing self
ADDISON (AP) — The death of
Mayor Jerry Redding, who was un
der investigation for allegations of
fiscal mismanagement, was ruled a
suicide, the police chief said.
Redding was found by police
Monday with a bullet a wound to his
right temple, Police Chief Rick Sulli
van said. A handgun was found on
the ground beside him, Sullivan
said. His body was found near a jog
ging trail in this Dallas suburb.
Sullivan said Redding called them
shortly after 3 p.m. Monday from
his car telephone and told the chief
to “get someone down here to find
me.”
“It was a casual call at first,” said
Sullivan, who got the call at his of
fice.. “He just said, ‘What are you
doing?’ ”
. Sullivan said Redding asked him
if he knew how to find the jogging
trail, a short distance from Addison
Town Hall.
“He said, ‘All right, I want you to
have somebody find me before
somebody else does,’ ” Sullivan said.
“I said, ‘Jerry, what are you talk
ing about?’ and he hung up on me. I
tried to call him back, but he had
killed the car and the phone
wouldn’t ring.”
Redding, mayor for 13 years, was
one of several town officials under
investigation for allegations of fiscal
mismanagement at Addison Town
Hall.
He was fired from Vernon Sav
ings and Loan Corp. after federal
regulators declared the Addison-
based thrift insolvent. Regulators
said the thrift was drained by run
away growth, risky loans and exces
sive compensation to some bank offi
cials.
Sullivan, who found four notes at
Redding’s home, said there was no
evidence the mayor’s death was
prompted by the investigations or
his firing last spring from his job as
an assets manager at Vernon Sav-
ings.
“The notes did not give some de
finitive answer as to why he did it,”
said Sullivan, who declined to reveal
details. “Most of the notes’ concerns
were of the welfare of his wife, child,
frifends, mother and father.”
City. Manager Ron Whitehead
said Redding had not seemed upset
lately and said he doesn’t know if
Redding’s suicide had anything to
do with the investigations.
The following were reported
to the University Police Depart
ment from Feb. 15 through Feb.
