Repair Kentucky State Police of- til authorities could detercrews from the Illinois ficers kept spectators away mine what type of fluid was Central Gulf Railroad are expected to return a tanker car containing a dry cleaning liquid to the tracks today following a Saturday afternoon derailment. A quantity of perchlorephlene, a dry cleaning fluid which is described as an irritant, leaked from the overturned car, but workmen built an earthen dam around the car to keep the liquid from spreading. No one was evacuated from their homes following the 1:20 p.m. accident that occurred one mile south of here.
There was no fire hazard from the leaking substance and authorities said the wind was dissipating fumes. The tank car was one of five cars that derailed. The cars were part of a 37-car Illinois Central Gulf train. The tank car was the only derailed car that overturned and the only one carrying a hazardous substance. Officials were still trying to determine whether the leaking fluid was coming from a rupture in the car or from its top.

(AP) A tractor-trailer truck and a pickup truck collided Saturday, crashed into a gasoline station and set off an explosion and fire that killed four persons, including a 3-year-old girl, authorities said. Three other persons were injured in the fire, which threatened the service 'sation's underground fuel tanks for three hours before firemen could bring it under control. "Bodies were scattered all over the place," said Austin Jones, 27, who was working on a house near the combination service station and store, Thurman's OneStop. A Butler County deputy sheriff said the victims were the elderly driver of the pickup, his wife, a second woman riding in the pickup and her daughter.
Two boys also in the pickup and the driver of the tractor-trailer were injured. Sharon Gill, a county resident, said she had stopped across from the intersection of U.S. 67 and Missouri 160 when the collision occurred. "The little truck just pulled onto the highway. The big truck never had a chance.
I don't think he even had time to hit his brakes," Mrs. Gill said. She said the driver of the pickup, identified as William H.

The tractor-trailer driver was identified as Clyde Goad, 51, of Potosi, who was in stable condition with minor injuries. The deputy said the explosion and fire occurred when the tractor-trailer rig and the pickup truck, locked together, smashed across gasoline pumps into the front of the store. Store employee Eddie Cable, 21, of Harviell, and Shelley Thurman, who with her husband Jim owns the store, were working inside when the vehicles crashed into the storefront.
"We ran out the back and up to the accident and started pulling people away from the Cable said. He said one side of the tractor-trailer was in flames, with the driver still inside. "We tried to get the door open but couldn't. Then the truck driver woke up and we helped him climb out a window," he said. Poplar Bluff is about 150 miles south of St.
Louis in the Missouri Bootheel. Klan marches peacefully (Continued From Page 1) Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was billed as "a march against repression" by SCLC President Joseph Lowery of Atlanta, who headed the long line. He was joined in the forefront by Reps. Walter Fauntroy, and Mickey Leland, D-Texas. The black marchers, including union members from Atlanta and Memphis, carried signs reading "Ban the "Justice Now for Tommy Hines" and "Decatur Justice Is Retarded." They sang freedom songs by civil rights demonstrators in the 1960s.
Some 500 law enforcement officers surrounded the marchers, as they did earlier when the Klan paraded. The Klan and the SCLC are at odds over the case of Tommy Lee Hines, a 36- year-old mentally retarded black man who has been convicted of raping a white woman and is charged with raping tw others and robbing one of them. Blacks contend Hines was incapable of commiting the crimes because of his mental while Klansmen claim blacks are using the case to disrupt law and order. Blacks in Okolona, braved hot sun and stares Saturday to demand the prosecution of a white deputy sheriff who shot and killed a young black jail inmate Tuesday. About 400 blacks, many wearing straw hats or carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the heat, marched silently from the one-room United League of Mississippi office to the public library.
At the library, black leaders said they would no longer stand by while whites killed blacks. "We're fired up, we're fired up. We 1979 Area deaths. funeral services leaking. can't take it any more," the crowd echoed at the urging of Dr.
Howard Gunn, a local United League official. He and other speakers claimed the shooting death of 18-year-old Lee Andrew Carothers, which is under investigation by federal and state authorities, was another example of mistreatment of blacks. About 15 whites stood across the street and watched quietly as the rally proceeded. Law enforcement officers stood by. Carouthers, who was awaiting transfer to the state prison on a burglary conviction, was shot by Deputy Hansel Rogers after he allegedly threatened Rogers and a black city police officer with a knife.
In Arkansas, one person was arrested Saturday afternoon shortly after Klan members began arriving on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for an evening rally. Authorities said the unidentified man was arrested about 2 p.m. after he snatched a peaked hat off the head of Randy Howard, the Klan organizer in Arkansas, as Howard and other robed and hooded Klansmen entered the university's Fine Arts Auditorium. Police said the man, who was described as being in his 20s, was part of a group of about 20 persons demonstrate who gathered on the campus to against KKK. The protesters shouted slogans and waved signs on a hot, muggy afternoon as Klan members filed into the auditorium under tight security conditions.
The signs protesting the organization said, "Death to the Klan," "Fight Racism," and "Ku Klux Klan, Scum of the Land." C. W. Jones, Graves native, dies in mishap FULTON, Ky.

Another trooper had found a small quantity of the stolen money, bringing the total amount of recovered money to approximately $6,000.
The state police, as well as officers from the Livingston County Sheriff's office, set up a cordon around a small area. Of course, the robber had plenty of good places to hide. But nothing happened. The plane kept buzzing over the area, finding nothing. It finally was sent away to give the robber the opportunity to move around and perhaps be caught.
Late in the afternoon, the robber was still supposed to be somewhere along a creek bed. Area residents, carrying personal guns, roamed around the area's roads looking for signs of the robber. Carter (Continued From Page 2) pressing him to hold off on any major new spending programs that were perceived as inflationary. Kennedy and his coalition of organized labor, senior citizens and religious interest groups finally broke publicly with Carter and drew up their own plan that, like Carter's, would not begin to go into operation until 1983. The senator said his proposal would cost $28.6 billion in federal funds and $11.4 billion governmentmandated expenditures by private industry and its employees.
The plan essentially would require all physicians, hospitals and other providers of health care to negotiate their fees in advance, giving the government a strong hand in holding down costs. It also wold provide for tight government control of private insurance companies, a and basic require benefit plan to everyone, guaranteeing payment for doctors' and hospital bills, lab tests, X-rays and some other services.
