Oilspilspo~ls French shoreline ,

BREST, France (AP)-Millions of
gallons of oil from a wrecked super-
tanker, potentially the biggest spill on
record, swept down the picturesque
Brittany coast yesterday, blackening
beaches and fouling harbors along 60
miles of shoreline,
Fisherman in a score of villages wat-
ched helplessly as the giant slick
smothered their livelihoods, possibly
for years to come.
But as critical hours ticked by,
nothing was being done to stem the
flow, and on the eve of today's national
parliamentary elections in France, the
spill became a campaign issue.
AN ESTIMATED 24 million gallons
had flowed from three punctured tanks
by yesterday afternoon, and twice that
much oil remained in 12 other intact
tanks of the American-owned ship, the
Amoco Cadiz.
The ship, owned by a subsidiary 'of
the American Oil Co., hit a reef a mile
offshore Thursday night. The crew of 41
was rescued.
The ship carries pollution insurance.
mostly through Lloyds of London, but the
amount was not immediately known.
BRITISH POLLUTION control ex-
perts were keepin a nervous eye on the
new slick, 25 miles long and five miles
wide. But they said it poses no im-
mediate danger to English beaches.
It's a tragedy. This was a prosperous
little town with the fishing and the
tourists. Now God knows what will hap-
pen," said a woman in a cafe in Por-
tsall, the largest of about 20 fishing
villages in the polluted area.
A harborside fish shop in Portsall
stood empty. A sign read: "No fish. Oil
for sale here. Direct from the well."
THE SOCIALIST mayor of Brest
blames the center-right coalition that
governs France, saying nothing had
been learned from the previous spills.
Some analysts predicted the spill
could push ecology-minded voters, a

potent force in French politics, toward
the left in Sunday's election.
AN AIRPLANE with high-volume
pumps and technicians from Detroit
was en route to the. scene to help with
the clean-up. French authorities hoped
to lace the pumps on the tanker by
helicopter and pump the remaining oil
to smaller tankers before the ship
breaks up.
"That's useless. They should bomb the
ship immediately to set it afire. Pum-
ping will take at least two weeks and by
then I guarantee nothing will be left of

the ship," said Jules Legendre,
assistant mayor of Portsall and a for-
mer tanker officer.
He said high tides and bad weather
are predicted, and "we'll have
another 150,000 tons of oil on our coast."
The five-year-old vessel, flying the
Liberian flag, was en route to the nor-
thern French port of Le Havre from the
Persian Gulf when its steering malfun-
ctioned. Attempts to tow it to safety
failed when tug cables snapped and the
ship drifted onto the rocks.
BITTER FISHERMEN gathered in a
harborfront cafe, ironically named "Le

Recife" The Reef, and stared at th@
harbor, covered in inches of black oil.
"We were going to protest by taking
our ship's papers to the authorities;
symbolically laying up our boats, but
we can't even get out to them through
this oil," said Auguste Noac'h, a Pot-
tsall fisherman for most of his 60 yearst

because of the disaster.
'The government is going to have to
help us. The fishermen don't normally
even get relief," he said.
