Du nn Tu Au 1981 Veteran killed in shoot out 'freaked out' after war By The Associated Press AURORA, Ind. A 30-year-old veteran killed in a gun battle with police after firebombing a store and shooting 'three officers was an "extremely disturbed" man who was changed by his service in Vietnam, his father says. Michael J. Tandy, 30, who died Sunday, was "a different person" and would "change personalities" after returning from Vietnam, said his father, Joe. He said his son never spoke about his time as a Marine in Vietnam. "But when you live with someone all their life, you know when there's something wrong," he said. "He was ex tremely disturbed." The war "freaked him out. I was scared of that guy," said Donna Goodpaster, whose parents' business was destroyed in the firebombing. She said that when Tandy returned from Vietnam he talked of soldiers cutting off people's ears and "putting them on necklaces." Minneapolis airline faces bad publicity over accidents By JOHN LUNDQUIST Associated Press Writer MINNEAPOLIS These are tur bulent times for Republic Airlines, the Minneapolis-based airline plagued by several well-publicized abcidents and a loss of more than $lOO million since Jan. 1. But President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel F. May said the inci dents, which began in April, have been exaggerated, and that getting the airline back into the black is his major concern. "With the unfavorable and inaccu rate publicity we have received re cently, some consumer confidence was lost," May reported to Repub lic's 14,700 employees in a letter ear lier this month.

"When you have an incident or two, anything that happens is blown out of propor tion." J - 15Cill)D Police said young Tandy sometimes wore a robe and told people he was Moses. "He had many friends and didn't get into trouble" during his high school years, the elder Tandy said. "But when he came back from Vietnam, he didn't want any thing to do with anybody." Early Sunday, Tandy, wearing military camouflage fatigues, tried - unsuccessfully to firebomb the police station in this town of about 3,800. He then fired a 12-gauge shotgun at dispatcher Julie Svara, who was slightly injured, police said. Tandy fled and firebombed an upholstery shop, destroy ing it and damaging a card shop next door, police said. While firemen battled the fire, he "just ran around, firing anywhere," said Police Chief Gary L. Watts. "He had a rifle and some Molotov cocktails in his parked truck, like he was on a military mission." During an exchange of shots between Tandy and sher iff's deputies and officers from Aurora and two other The latest occurred Aug. 7 at Las Vegas, Nev., when tread from a re capped tire flew off a Republic DC-9, tore a hole in a wing flap and was sucked into the right engine. Federal Aviation Administration spokesmen said heat from the run way may have caused the tire cap to tear loose. The case is still under investigation.

The plane's captain was dismissed a week after the incident and the co-pilot was suspended for six months. • A takeoff at McCarran was aborted in June when an engine caught fire and passengers slid down an emergency chute. • Last month, an airliner failed to generate enough power on takeoff but' landed safely at San Diego. "There are in excess of 80,000 flights a day by U.S. airlines," said Mort Edelstein, FAA regional public affairs officer in Chicago. "I would have to think these occur with all airlines and that the media has blown ( the Republic incidents) way out of proportion." Other airlines haven't been im Bank. when you want to. EBA K towns, sheriff's Lt. Thomas Bauer and town Patrolman Tom Cochran were wounded. Cochran then shot and killed Tandy, police said. "We determined there were 26 shots fired from Tandy and a total of 12 handgun rounds and four shotgun rounds returned from police," state police Sgt. Lyman P. Conley said Monday. Bauer was listed in fair condition yesterday in intensive care at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati. Cochran was treated and released. Joe Tandy said the family had tried to get help for his son through the Veterans Administration but the VA "didn't seem too concerned " Kitty Hess, a spokeswoman for the Veterans Adminis tration Hospital in Cincinnati, said yesterday that Tandy was treated there in 1975. "He was here for two months . . . but we don't have any record of him or his family applying for help here in the last eight years," she said. Tom Harris, of the Indianapolis Veterans Center, said mune from problems. On Aug. 19, both engines of a United Boeing' 767 apparently overheated because of an accumulation of ice as it made a gradual descent into Denv er's Stapleton International Airport. Federal investigators are trying to determine whether the computers that *help operate the new aircraft contributed to the overheating. And in May, rubber seals were left off oil plugs of the three engines of an Eastern Airlines L-1011, causing the engines to fail on a flight from Miami to the Bahamas. The pilot restarted one engine and returned to Miami. Frode Jesperson, principal FAA. operations inspector assigned to Re public, said the airline's performance is "not out of line with what's happen ing with other carriers. I'm con vinced Republic is a good airline. The If you don't have a Mid-State Bank account, now's the time to open one and apply for your abc Card, too. It will make your banking simple as abc! e're right where it counts. he believes Tandy, who recently returned to Aurora from an oil rig job in Louisiana, may have suffered from post traumatic stress disorder, also known as delayed stress syndrome. "When veterans are under certain kinds of stress, they revert back to a combat situation," he said. - - Conley said Tandy had been "on the brink" and that police had watched him for years but never made an arrest. "He had kind of a pattern," he said. "He'd come into town, become involved in,a minor disturbance, leave the area and then return again "We all realized sooner or later we were going to have a problem with him. He told more than one person he was Moses and had a deep infatuation with religion. He was seen walking around with a robe, carrying a staff." Goodpaster said Tandy would "go down to the Ohio River and try to baptize people. He did baptize people. He was eerie. He always shaved his head and wore a beard. He was always . . . in Army clothes." way the media has been jumping on every incident doesn't seem to be right." Redmond Tyler, a Republic spokes man, said the publicity hurt business. He said the airlirie had 46,763 seat reservations by phone the first week of August, but that number slipped to 43,538 the following week. Normally, they'd be about the same, he said. Republic has accused employees of Northwest Orient, another airline based in Minneapolis, of Spreading rumors that Republic was headed for bankruptcy May told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press in an interview that "It's not abnor mal for an aggressive sales staff to do things without executive approval." Brent Baskfield, Northwest vice president for public relations, said the company has a "long established corporate policy that prohibits em ployees from discussing the finances of any airline. To our knowledge, this policy has been strictly adhered to." Republic reported a net loss of nearly $lO3 million for the first six months of this year, compared with a loss of $6.7 million in the first half of 1982. Passenger operating revenues fell from $722.2 million in the first half of 1982 to $671.4 million for the same period this year. But operating profit climbed from $16.4 million in 1981 to $37.2 million in 1982, a performance that won some respect among financial analysts and bankers. Still, analysts are skeptical, and Mike Garbisch of Dain Bosworth Inc. says "There's no guarantee you can save the company even with employ ee concessions."
