II If) IX (Sentinel Star Photo by Dun Smith) BEWILDERED INVESTIGATORS INSPECT FALLEN TOWER Mass of twisted steel surrounds remaining 20-foot base By ROGER PYNN Sentinel Star Stall WFTV-Channel 9 is expected to return to the air today by substituting a borrowed minitower for the structure near Bithlo which collapsed and killed two workers Friday. The cause of the collapse still has not been determined. SOUTHERN BELL Telephone and Telegraph Co. and American Telephone and Telegraph loaned the ABC affiliate a 320-foot portable tower and trucked the structure from Atlanta, overnight, Craig Spearman, Southern Bell district manager, said. Meanwhile, a federal Depart- ment of Labor investigator, Donald P.

Gardner, was on the scene Saturday to study the death of two Tallahassee men, killed when Florida's largest structure crashed to the ground about 12:15 p.m. Friday. The two workers were part of a maintenance crew working on the tower. THE CAUSE of the collapse was undetermined Saturday afternoon. Officials of Kline Iron and Steel a Columbians.

firm which built the tower, said the cause may take months to determine. Orange County Sheriff's Department officials classified it initially as a structural failure. KILLED BY the pile-driving shower of metal were 19-year-old Tommie Saunders and W. Dennis Miller, 24, both of Tallahassee. Saunders' brother, Mark, who had been supervising work on the tower from the ground, helped free his brother's body from the wreck- Injured were Eugene Hobby, 20, Tallahassee, and T.

Sherman Penny, 204 Chippewa Trail, Maitand, an employe of WDBO. Both men were listed in good condition at Florida Hospital Saturday. "I JUST GRABBED hold of a piece of that tower and hung on," Hobby said. "It was like the sky coming down. It was like heavy rain falling." Hobby said the tower "just snapped off.

I remember a section of it came shooting by me like a railroad train. It happened so fast I couldn't really say what exactly did happen." Fourteen tons of guy wires whistled through the air, encircling the falling steel.

These "quick-megabuck artists" are the players on the high risk "spot market," that is, shipowners who can afford to have their tankers available when American oil companies get desperate for supply.

UNDER THESE circumstances, a man with a ship in the right place at the right time can demand about three times the going rate for the lease of his vessel. This translates into several extra mil-Ion dollars of profits for a single crossing of the Atlantic. "When demand is high, they can almost name their price," said John L. Solomon, vice president for marketing and supply transportation for Murphy Oil Co. Solomon's task is to deal with the vagaries of the "spot market" while trying to maintain normal domestic fuel movement in the midst of recurring supply shortages.

"THE energy crisis is making billionaires out of them (the shipowners)," said another corporate executive in describing the overheated transportation market. It should be noted that losses on the "spot market" can be just as spectacular as the gains. The going rate for a tanker is about $3,000 per hour, Solomon said, so if an owner guesses wrong this is what he loses. (Most owners prefer to play it safe and lease their ships on a regular basis to the oil companies, instead of playing for the big profits.) However glamorous the financial exploits of the Onassises, Niarcoses and other less visible spot market players may appear, the energy crisis is also causing a headache for the everyday move- (Continued On Page 8-A, Col. 1) ENGERT said construction of commencement facilities and rentals of the chairs cost the school' 2,5 0 0, while government and businesses provided barricades, ropes, posts for traffic control and stanchions at no cost to the university.

Lending a big helping hand to the school, which was given 72 hours notice the President would be its guest, were Patrick and McCoy Air Force bases, the Orlando Naval Training Center, the Kennedy Space Center and the Martin Marietta Co. in Orlando. They loaned crowd control aids. "No outside personnel was brought in and no one was told to work beyond his regular hours," Engert said. (Continued On Page 10-A, Col.

The campus was nearly deserted but the glow still lingered. President Nixon was secluded in his bayside villa at Key Biscayne in what aides called a "no news weekend." BUT IT was the news he made Friday which was still the talk of Orlando and, at Florida Technological University, will be for years to come. "I don't know what anybody's doing today," C. Barth Engert, FTU, director of public information said of university officials. "I imagine they're getting away from it all after yesterday." While the nation Friday afternoon read and watched television accounts of the President's commencement address, it was cleanup time at the young campus as crews cleared debris and returned several thousand folding chairs to their owners throughout Central Florida.

a new idea, a willingntss to work until you drop, a good tax lawyer and a little bit of luck like Mark Vittert. When Mark was a De Pauw University (Indiana) undergraduate, he discovered that American business had little understanding of how to reach the huge campus market. "I'll bridge the generation gap!" Mark Vittert said, On leaving school he got Sun Oil, Gulf, Standard of New Jersey and TWA to let him push their credit cards with undergraduates. In a few months Mark had 700 campus representatives and the credit cards moved like chocolate sundaes at a Scout jamboree. 'Continued On Pac; 2-A.
