LOUIS (UPI) Oilipill experts today battled high water and swift currents on the Mississippi River in vacuuming crude oil leaking from one of four barges that smashed into a bridge, sank About 25,000 gallons of was emptied Sunday from one barge, Dewell said. Another barge was to be emptied today. Oil spewing from the barges caught fire on the water, and stiff breezes pushed the burning oil to the Illinois side of the river, starting brush and tree fires, igniting corn in other barges and causing heavy damage to dockside facilities of the Monsanto Co. and and started scattered waterfront fires.

Pillsbury Co. Authorities estimated the oil spill at about 10,000 gallons. Dark CBoraiyp ignited com contained in barges moored on the Illinois side of the river. Cranes were used Sunday night to scoop out the burning grain and dump it in the river, Dewell said. A barge knocked off the end of a Monsanto transfer pipe, releasing a small amount of a corrosive chemical called monochloroben-zin- e, which causes eye and skin irritation and respiratory failure if inhaled. Bruce Foutch, an employee of one of the private commercial boats that helped fight the fire, was treated at Alexian Brothers Hospital for minor burns and released, said Monsanto spokesman ribbons of oil today were visible on the water for about 10 miles downstream from the Poplar Street Bridge, near the Gateway Arch beside the downtown area.

The sunken barge, which contained about 16,000 gallons cf oil, went down outside the river's navigation channel. Pumps were being used to vacuum up the oil floating on the river, Dewell said. However, the swift current made "corralling" the oil difficult, he said.

Kay said he doubted the oil threatened downstream drinking water supplies, adding that most water intakes are below the float- The Monsanto plant's riverfront loading operations were extensively burned and would be closed indefinitely for repairs, Bishop said. "A fellow from the plant called me at 1:30 a.m. (Sunday) and he ing oil. "If the water is in flood stage and running over levees and things, there's a possibility the oil could go with it," Dewell said. The National Weather Service today predicted the river would crest Thursday at 39.7 feet. Flood stage at St. Louis is 30 feet. Most said, 'It looks more like the Fourth of July than Easter,'" Bishop said. Morris Kay, regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said the oil might cause fish kills.
