Journal 45 Deaths -Funerals WDM -Jul A'-- ---i 'vl 148 sti i STAFF PHOTO BY GAIL FOLDA Lincoln Fire Inspector Jack Brans stands next to an ammunition bunker that Control Data rent from the Lincoln Airport Authority to store 339 barrels of flammable waste chemicals. OK to move chemicals won't come ByJimAucoin Permission from the state Department of Environmental Control for Control Data Corp. to begin moving 339 barrels of chemicals from a site in Iowa to an ammunition bunker at Lincoln's old air base won't come for a couple of days, Bill Sheil of DEC'S solid-waste division said Wednesday. Sheil said written agreements about handling of the chemicals have yet to be signed by corporation officials.

Control Data was forced to find new storage for the barrels after they were discovered with barrels of chemicals from other, yet unidentified companies in an old egg-processing plant in Malvern, Iowa, operated by a private chemical-recycling firm. Iowa authorities and officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ob tained a federal court order Saturday to have the barrels removed from the building, which they said was unsuitable for storage of such volatile chemicals. The corporation has asked the Lincoln Airport Authority to lease it an ammunition bunker at the air base so it can store the barrels of potentially hazardous solvents until a that EPR officials said they would move them into the more secure brick part of the structure. Iowa and EPA officials contended that the chemicals posed a hazard to the town of 1,150.

One said that if a fire had started in the building, it would have blown up the entire town. The building also was near a gasoline storage tank and the town's water supply. In addition, the building had broken windows and holes in the wall and wasn't secure from intrusion by unauthorized persons, officials said. The corporation leases one bunker at the old air base, where it has stored 700 barrels of the chemicals since June, according to McCloskey. Expected to begin McCloskey, an environmental engineer, said Wednesday that the company's new $200,000 recycling operation is.

expected to begin immediately. He said it will take six to eight months to recycle the chemicals that will be stored at the ammunition bunkers. The recycling unit will process two 55-gallon drums an hour, he said, but the unit will have to handle the chemicals the Omaha plant generates ARNOLD.

Jack Jackson, O. Construction c. tec van OTvmvsta Corp. of Omaha wants to for a while daily, as well as process the chemicals in storage. McCloskey said the chemicals are worth about $160 a drum if recycled.

"So there's no way we're going to abandon them," he said. Don Tharp, director of business operations for the Airport Authority, said Wednesday that Control Data has asked to lease a second bunker. Tharp said the authority was unaware that chemicals already were being stored at one bunker. The bunkers lease for $131.25 a month, and the authority usually doesnt inquire about what will be stored when the facility is rented, Tharp said. "Well be more interested from now on," he said, adding that he won't be concerned about renting the bunkers for chemical storage, "depending on what the environmental people (DEC) say." McCloskey said the Lincoln Fire Department has asked Control Data to stack some sandbags at the bunker before storing the chemicals.

He said there has been no indication of leakage from the other barrels already in storage. Seventeen ammunition bunkers were transferred to the city when the Air Force closed the base. Services Friday fr volunteer Louise Devoe Louise A "Andy" Devoe, longtime Lincoln resident and active volunteer worker, died Tuesday. She was a former Red Cross and YWCA board member and had served as a Red Cross volunteer since 1943. She was active in United Way and was a member of the Lincoln General Hospital Auxiliary, the Folsom Children's Zoo and the Lincoln Symphony Guild.

Mrs. Devoe, 1653 Dakota Circle, was the widow of Jack Devoe, who served as Lincoln city attorney and Lancaster County Republican Party chairman. She is survived by a brother-in-law, Harold Helton, of Laguna Hills, two great-nieces, and a great-nephew. Services will be 11 a.m. Friday at Roper and Sons Mortuary, 4300 St.

square feet in the adjoining tower. The foot project will be developed, owned, leased and managed by the Murdock company. One of the project negotiators was H.R. Haldeman, a Murdock vice president and former Nixon White House chief of staff. Haldeman, for the most part remained in the background during Wednesday's press conference and declined comment afterwards when questioned about Watergate.

The Omaha-based firms of Leo A Daly and Peter Kiewit Sons Co. will be the architect and general contractor, respectively, for the project to be located at 15th and Douglas streets. The proposed parking facility will be north of the office structures. Murdock's other properties include the First National Bank building in Lincoln, Ace Hardware distributions centers in Lincoln and Toledo, Ohio, the 25-story financial center in downtown Des Moines and the Ohio Edison building in downtown Akron, Ohio. recycling unit at its Omaha plant can process the chemicals.

The chemicals involved are acetone, methyl-ethyl-ke-tone, Cellosolve Acetate and thane. John McCloskey of Control Data said he inspected the Iowa site in September before he started shipping the chemicals to it and found it satisfactory. He contracted with EPR Inc, a recycling firm, to store the chemicals at the site until Control Data's recycling unit began operation, he said. 'Reason for concern' However, McCloskey acknowledged that "there was reason for concern" by the Iowa and EPA officials when the barrels were discovered Saturday. He said barrels that were supposed to be stored in the brick portion of the building had been left on the wooden loading dock.

The loading dock made up about 10 percent of the building, McCloskey said. He said EPR Inc. was planning to tear down the wooden frame structure but that Iowa and EPA authorities obtained the court order before the remodeling began. McCloskey said he offered to remove the Control Data barrels last Thursday but the proposed network, although KUCV as a privately owned station would get no state money. His letter to CPB was meant to support KUCV, McBride said.

"My letter had no input" into the grants process because the CPB staff already had made its recommendations to the board before the letter arrived, McBride said. Knowledge by CPB of the state plan, he said, could have helped KUCV's application. His letter to George Stein, a CPB vice president, was written three days before the CPB board named 14 grant winners. McBride complained that CPB staff member Betsy Dirnber-ger did not talk to officials of NETV or Nebraskans for Public Radio when she visited KUCV Feb. 20.

"For the life of me, I cannot understand how the corporation can seriously evaluate the (KUCV) application" without considering the statewide plan, which "sees station KUCV as an integral part" of a future state network, McBride wrote Stein. The process is "strictly competitive," said Thomas, who is in charge of the CPB expansion-grant program. "Nothing he (McBride) said had anything to do with KUCV considering cable and all the thines council members do on their own," it's they're own fault "Take your council salary and send one," Scherer told Mrs. Frohardt Mrs. Frohardt replied, "Believe me, Leo, I can get the Information out without the council's help." Mrs.

Frohardt said she has put out one newsletter with the assistance of the council staff but stopped because council Chairman John Robinson "said it was not a budgeted item." Mayor Helen Boosalls said the city's Community Development Department distributes a newsletter cttywide and suggested the council consider putting column in it not getting the grant We dont pay any attention to letters either way. The judges never see them, and the staff does not consider them." CPB had 75 applicants for 14 grants and only $800,000 to give, Thomas said. KUCV could be financed in a later round, he added. Ms. Dimberger was in Lincoln just to see KUCV, Thomas said.

CPB officials are aware of the network proposals, he added. McBride misunderstood the purpose of Ms. Dirnber-ger's visit, Thomas said. Graham said KUCV, which recently increased its power and broadcast hours, will negotiate for National Public Radio network programs. NPR membership is tied to CPB-aided stations, but might permit non-CPB stations to join the national network, Thomas said.

By Jack Kennedy Union College radio station KUCV has lost its first bid for an expansion grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, CPB officials have informed the station. At first, station officials thought that a critical letter to CPB from Nebraska Educational Television Network head Jack McBride might have contributed to the grant denial, KUCV Manager Eric Graham said. That isnt so, CPB's Bob Thomas told Graham and the Lincoln Journal. KUCV had a strong application, Thomas said, but CPB funds are limited. "We're not out to topple anybody's plans for a public-radio network in Nebraska," Graham said.

He said he has discussed KUCV's role with Nebraskans for Public Radio, but "I've never seen anything in writing" about how the college station fits into statewide public-radio-network legislation that the group suports. KUCV will reapply and wants to cooperate, Graham said. "I am disappointed (CPB) did not do their homework," McBride said Tuesday. They were not aware, he said, that KUCV and KIOS, the Omaha public schools' station, are designed as major links in City Council Murdock office towers set for downtown Omaha budgeting for newsletters Two Omaha banks take credit-tightening steps OMAHA (UPI) A Los Angeles-based development firm announced plans Wednesday for a $23 million construction project involving two 15-story office buildings in downtown Omaha. David H.

Murdock, president of David H. Murdock Development said groundbreaking for the project which also will include downtown Omaha's first pedestrian skyway, will be in May. "The announcement and May groundbreaking are the results of many months of extensive studies and meetings with the city of Omaha and the Omaha Development Council which has re-affirmed our belief that a major investment in Omaha's future growth is warranted," Murdock said. The pedestrian skyway over Douglas Street will connect the office building complex with a planned public-parking facility. Northern Natural Gas which owns the land on which the office towers will be built, will occupy 100,000 square feet in one of the buildings.

ConAgra Inc. will relocate its corporate headquarters into 80,000 Cltv Council members will consider adding money to the council budget for sending newsletters to constituents. During an informal meeting Monday, Donna Frohardt, Southeast District councilwom-an, suggested adding $300 to the council budget for newsletters "to inform constituents because they need to know what's going on in an on-going way." Councilman Joe Hampton, who was elected at-large, asked, "Would that mean I could have one (a newsletter) for the entire city?" Of the seven council members, four are elected by district Councilman Leo Scherer laid if citizens dont know what's going on at City Hall from "an the news media, OMAHA (AP) Two major Omaha banks said Tuesday that they have taken steps to slow the public's credit buying on MasterCard (formerly Master Charge) and Visa cards. At First National Bank, James Doody, vice president, said the bank win not issue any new MasterCard or Visa credit cards and will not Increase cardholders' present credit limits. In addition, Doody said, the bank is considering increasing the minimum monthly payment on the amount owed.
