S2 Bypass 4654455 By PETER J. BOYER Associated Press Writer HOLLYWOOD On a tranquil night for Oscar, Dustin Hoffman and his bitter child custody battle "Kramer vs. Kramer" earned the best of the 52nd annual Academy awards, while Sally Field's portrayal of a union militant in "Norma Rae" brought her best actress honors. "Kramer" won five major awards Monday night, including best picture, best screenplay and directing (Robert Benton), best supporting actress (Meryl and best actor the often-nominated but never-before chosen Hoffman. Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz," a self-inspired musical about a stage producer's frenetic and eventually fatal drive, won four Oscars film editing, art direction, adapted score and costume design.

"Norma Rae" was the other multiple winner of the night, garnering Oscars for best song "It Goes Like It Goes" and for Miss Field's performance. Hoffman's ambivalent acceptance and a verbal sparring match with reporters backstage provided the evening's only hints of spontaneous drama, commodities of which Oscar is usually in ample supply. Monday night was an exceptioa Hoffman joked a bit as he accepted his Oscar, then turned serious, making reference to his being "critical of the Academy, and for reason." Backstage, he expanded: "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I do think that art is competitive but it is for the artist to do the competing.

Miss Field wept openly on stage, and said afterward, "I'm absolutely shocked. I know I'll go home and cry some more. I've wanted to be an actress since I was three.

This is incredible." Melvyn Douglas, who at 79 was competing in the supporting actor category against 8-year-old Justin Henry, was a predicted and popular winner for his role as the craggy capitalist in "Being There." Douglas, who has continued working despite weakened health, was the only winning actor not in attendance at Monday's ceremony. THE OTHER supporting role award to Meryl Streep for "Kramer" was not unexpected, either. The only surprise came weeks ago, when Miss Streep, who played Hoffman's estranged wife in the movie, was nominated in the supporting, rather than lead category. Energy Savings Payback!

Families back home after derailment JWL MCNEILL (AP) Sixty evacuated families from a rural area in southwest Mississippi were returning to their homes late Monday as crews pumped out an overturned tank car that was carrying a toxic and explosive chemical. another containing synthetic plastic also leaked after the accident but it the styrene that posed the toxic and explosive threat Railroad officials said they could not estimate when the tracks could be cleared so trains could run again. Sheriff Lawrence Holliday said Mississippi 11 remained closed Monday between McNeil and Carriere, just north of Picayune. No inj uries were reported. By late Monday, cleanup crews had pumped enough styrene from the tanker to clear the rupture and stop the leak.

"We're waiting now on another tank truck," said Picayune Fire Chief Farnell Vaughn. He said the truck was expected by morning and would complete the task of pumping the remaining styrene from the tanker. Authorities said they were considering an effort to halt the flow of the chemical spilled in the accident by scooping the toxic matter from the creek as it flows over a spillway three miles downstream. "The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is monitoring the creek," Vaughn said. "They said the reading in the water has already gone down by 50 percent" Picayune firemen blamed the derailment on high water which washed out supports under the 30-foot-high trestle spanning Mill Creek.
