The plug was the brainstorm of Officers Donald Tharke, 37. and Chris Brauer, 31, both former plumbers. Brauer hurried to the store and returned, handing the plug to Ritter representative John Triffenbach as fire companies poured water oyer the tanker to cool it and wash away the gas. "As soon as I handed it to him, he said, That's -iUThafi it federal court in 1976. But at a news conference Thursday, Britton insisted Gov.

The 14-lane bridge, the biggest entryway to the city, was closed for nearly eight hours Thursday while the truck sat on an exit ramp on the Manhattan side of the span and anxious officials tried to figure out how to stop the hissing propane gas. Fears of a -fiery explosion prompted officials to evacuate an estimated 2,000 people from apartments near the bridge, close a Port Authority bus terminal and shut down a subway station nearby at 175th St. Traffic backed up for 15 miles in New York and neighboring New Jersey one of the biggest tie-ups in New York City's history.

Buses and cars on the West Side of Manhattan slowed to a crawl and sidewalk vendors had a field day keeping motorists supplied with juice and soda as temperatures climbed past 90. During the emergency, four women required treatment for inhalation of noxious fumes and beat exhaustion. A fireman also was treated for burned fingers suffered when he touched a truck exhaust pipe. ing his tenure as receiver. James was appointed receiver of the prison system in early 1979 after District Judge Frank M.

Johnson Jr. ruled the state Board of Correc tions had failed to comply with his 1976 order. Now, however, that appointment is being challenged by the U.S. Justice Department, the National Prison Project of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Attorneys for those groups have asked District Judge Robert Varner to remove the prison system from the control of the govenor and name a new receiver to bring the system into compliance with the 1976 order.

what's going to Brauer said. The plug was put into an opening in the tank from which gas was escaping from a malfunctioning valve. After that, it took 22 minutes to pump the remaining propane from the disabled tanker, and get traffic rolling again on the two-level span over the Hudson River. "We were up there al afternoon and all these big 'think tanks' couldn't come up with any ideas that worked," said Brauer. But the solution came too late to save hundreds of thousands of commuters from one of the city's worst traffic jams.
