authorities in connection with the shipment of 500,000 gallons of oil laced with cancer-causing chemicals in 1984 and 1985. The oil was sold to General Motors Corp. for use as boiler fuel in the company's Livonia stamping plant. Attorney General Frank Kelley last April ordered GM to stop burning the fuel.

Bear Creek empties into Lake St. Clair. Canflow operates a'waste treatment and disposal site in Petrolia, about 15 miles southeast of Sarnia.

Ackerman, in his broadcast shortly after 9 a.m., reported that running back John Riggins had been waived by the Washington Redskins, then recalled Riggins' indiscreet public behavior of recent seasons. "He denies the basic civility of being a human being." Ackerman said of Riggins. "This, to me, is a real beast Goodby, John." Another paid commentator on the station is Tiger star Kirk Gibson, who will be interviewed every Thursday morning.

Of Gibson, Ackerman said: "Some people think they should lock him up as a wild animal." Then, Ackerman softened the comment by saying Gibson can be "pretty interesting" if you interview him in the right mood at Detroit Edison has spent another $751 million on its Fermi II nuclear power plant and eventually will need more rate increases to pay for it, the the listings utility said in its annual report.

Coverage of the IMSA first $3 billion it spent on the Monroe in interest charges until the plant opens, Bufalini said. Day-to-day and engineering costs are more still.

FERMI II got its license to run at full power in July, but it had difficulties and has been closed since October. Edison says it doesn't know when the plant will start up. The company may not charge customers for Fermi II until the plant starts producing power for sale. Edison sent the request for the $556 million rate increase to the Michigan Public Service Commission in July 1983. An administrative law judge recommended a $454 million increase instead.

The commission has yet to act on the matter. "The outlook for rate increases is not good," the company said in its annual report. An administrative law judge for the MPSC has recommended that some of what we requested for Fermi II be disallowed. It appears that it will be necessary to go to the commission with a request for additional rate adjustments for Fermi II." Despite its problems with Fermi, Edison reported $334.3 million in profits last year. But the report expressed concern over "the extent to which recent earnings levels can be maintained in the years immediately ahead because of the delay in getting the Fermi II power plant into commercial operation." endurance race.
