By FRED GARRETSON Tribune Staff Writer HOLY CITY (Santa Clara County) One of the greatest arrays of earthquake recording equipment ever assembled at one place has been moved into the San Jose area in the past few weeks to focus on the little-known Sargent Fault. As of this week the U.S. Geological Survey has set up 67.

seismographs in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, with the greatest number concentrated along the Sargent Fault in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Holy City. This is the area where Renner Hoffman, a California De-, partment of Water Resources seismologist, predicted 14 ago would experience a moderate sized quake within 18 months. Louis Pakiser, director of the USGS earthquake research center at Menlo made no mention of Hoffmans prediction and said: Were not predicting an earthquake. Pakiser said the big array of seismographs was being set up to make an extremely detailed record of any small quakes that might occur on the Sargent Fault.

A federal grand jury returned indictments on Feb. 2, saying the deputies fired shotguns at some demonstrators in the Berkeley Peoples Park rioting in May, 1969, and beat other demonstrators with the intent of imposing summary punishment. Sheriff Frank Madigan contends his men were trying to protect the Federal Government against its biggest threat revolutionaries. Appearing before Judge William T.

Marquardt rushed back to Johnsons house. They alerted the fire department. Police also arrived to keep sight-aeera away. Fire officials called Shell around I a.m. By this time the oil was being carried toward East Oakland by the creek.

Oil was found more than 18 blocks away at School Street, Marquardt said. Shell then tried to get permission to pump the oil into a nearby manhole. The city refused. So, straw and sandbags were used to absorb the fuel and two long pipelines were installed, to try to divert fresh water around the oil slick. A smaller creek also runs into Peralta Creek at this point, and its flow also was diverted.

A Shell spokesman said a small amount of fuel apparently remained in joints and low spots after the pipeline was flushed with 50,000 gallons of water. Shell is to appear at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow before the Oakland City Council to seek an interim to relocate the pipeline to a route with much better soil stability. The Johnsons remained in their home during the night despite the presence of pumping equipment and a tank truck on their property. They provided Shell workmen with coffee and doughnuts.

Now that the portion of the creek covered with the substance, is isolated from the flow of the two creeks, crewmen tried to pump the ponded area dry in order to remove as much of the material as possible. Asst. Fire Chief Cecil Ross said the which had been flushed some weeks ago when the landslide began, apparently had ruptured. In recent days a laiip section of the pipe was exposed as earth fell away. It now appears like a huge, long cable hanging in midair.

Ross said the oil had been so diluted the danger was never extreme. The fuel, he added, doesnt ignite too easily. But, he noted: Conceivably early this morning (Sunday) when it was first discovered, there was some possibility that it could have been ignited and made a nasty situation. Meanwhile, the landslide continued. Little by little, dirt continued to cascade toward Peralta Creek and the doomed houses groaned and creaked as the earth beneath them disappeared.

Workmen today continued to pump jet fuel from Peralta Creek after It spilled out of a supposedly empty pipeline in the Wilshire Heights landslide area.

The creek flows through backyards of homes on Jordan Road directly below the landslide. A Shell Oil Co. spokesman said the oily-appearing substance, which filled the wooded canyon with a kerosene-like odor, was turbine fuel Oakland fire officials said they did not believe there was a serious fire danger, but conceded there could have been a problem early yesterday before the seepage was discovered. Shell Oil Co. crews moved in to block off the spilled fuel and pump it into a fleet of tank trucks.

The landslide already had partially blocked off the creek and the fuel gathered In a pool turning the water dark and scummy. Shell Oil crews diverted the flow of the creek through pipes and isolated the fuel in a pool so it could be pumped away. The pipeline, closed down Jan. 14 when the landslide grew worse, carried most of the jet fuel from Shells Martinez refinery to Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco air-' ports. It bad been flushed out, according to Shell.

-The noisy tank trucks rumbled up and down the narrow, dead end section of Jordan Road through the night and today. The fuel was taken to a sump at Martinez, according to firemen. Lyle Marquardt of 3034 Jordan Road, whose residence is near the slide but not endangered, was the first to spot the fuel spill. Around 8:45 a.m.-Sunday while walking up near the dead-end-of Jordan Road where Peralta Creek is up, I smelled this heavy odor, which seemed to be coming from Ted Johnson's bouse, Marquardt said. Johnson, who lives in the 2900 block of Jordan Road, was up as usual topping off trees, trying to keep them from falling on his house.

The danger started about two weeks ago when the ground in London Road (on the hill above and behind the Johnson residence) began to slide. Marquardt said he looked into the creek where there was about 2 feet of water.I saw a reflection from what appeared to be a black mirror. Then he went farther up the hill toward where a short stub of Jordan Road meets the cracked and ruined London Road.

out for 20 or 30 miles along the fault, but along the Sargent Fault all aftershocks occur in a small area less than a mile from the main shock's epicenter. He sa'ld most California quakes have a very shallow focus, but activity on the Sargent Fault occurs 10 to 15 kilometers below the surface. The Sargent Fault to believed to be one of the hinges connecting the San Andreas Fault to the Hayward Calaveras Fault system along the east side of San Francisco Bay.
