Oakland police said the motorist, Herbert Barr, 43, of Richmond, Calif., had his gas tank filled up on Friday. He returned to the same Union 76 service station on Saturday for more gas and attendant Henry Craigs, 50, refused. Iolice said the station refused to sell more gas because it was on a ration basis. The driver returned to the station after the refusal, police said. They quoted witnesses as saying the man pulled a shotgun from the cars trunk. Hutchinson said mission engineers were in the process of examining power requirements in light of the solar battery problems which have reduced the labs power by half. One main solar panel was ripped off after blastoff and another failed to extend to its working position. We'll tweak it and tweak it until we understand the power numbers and can accommodate things by merely turning off fans and so forth, said Hutchinson. fill-u- afi.ad "Frankly, I think any motorist who lets his tank get below half full is foolish. ... : High Test Left The owner of a Columbus.
