_-- Exploring A Sunken Galleon Off Yucatan On the Pinch Hitter, Bob Marx and I had agreed that the first step in the diving should be to construct an underwater map of the wreck site so that we could scientifically guide the divers to the most lucrative areas. In the past, our diving on the wreck had been a sporadic, hit-or-miss proposition. . , . 1 constructed a scale model of the reef in the sand and describ- ed our idea for the making of the map. I told them we would place three buoys 200 yards to sea off the reef, defining a huge rec- tangular area parallel to the beach. . .. A line 200 yards long, marked every 10 yards, would be strung from the beach to the first buoy. The divers would be stationed along the line at the markers. Then the whole group would proceed to swim from the north buoy toward the south. .. After a Spartan breakfast . | . we picked up our diving equip- ment and waded out to our as- signed boats in the cove. Then, beneath deep blue skies and bil- lowy cumulus clouds, we cruised seaward toward Matanceros Point. . . . For over an hour the divers porpoised up and down in the heavy surf, moving southward, maintaining a semblance of a straight line. There were no "re- ports" until we were almost di- rectly off the candelabra trec marker. The diver who made the first report was fairly close to shore. Even so, we ordered the Mexican manning the oars in our boat to row toward him. As' we pulled near, shipping an alarming quantity of water, other divers began to sing out. Then all at once everyone seemed to be shouting simultaneously -- in Spanish! I made notes on the map by guesswork--the marker line had long since parted. . . . The mapping operation in the formal sense was terminated. It had not been a total fiasco. The divers had searched the north end of the reef fairly thoroughly and we were satisfied that the bottom contained nothing note- worthy. Both diving boats were an- chored near the wreck and soon the clear water was alive with nearly fifty eager skin divers, Many of them, exploring a can- non wreck for the first time, were disappointed. They had ex- pected to find a hull intact, and thought our work would consist primarily of breaking into one of the ancient, moss-covered hatch- es. They soon learned. as we had learned, that to get at the cargo of an ancient wreck in the tro- pics one must toil hour after hour, pounding chisels into a marble-tough blanket of living coral. There was relatively little pounding this first day. -- From "Diving for Pleasure and Treas- ure," by Clay Blair, Jr. | SMALL SUB -- Two-place, Wildlife Service to study fish in Son Francisco Bay, provide 360-degree vision.

Conning towers t two knots and can dive to Gestapo Methods In Idaho? All that television cameraman Rick Rafael was looking for in the Ada County Jail at Boise, Idaho, was a simple document- ary film for station KBOI-TV -- a documentary on how prison- ers live. Suddenly Idaho's big- gest news story in years broke right in front of his lens. Out of a huddle of prisoners, that af- ternoon last, month, steppe d slight, black - haired Theodore Thomas Dickie, 21, to blurt out a startling confession. It was he, Dickie said, who had slashed Mrs. Nancy Johnson and her 2-year -old son Danny to death the previous April at nearby Mountain Home. In Mountain Home, Dickie's con- fession shocked = the Elmore County authorities for one rea- son of overriding importance: They were holding Airman 1/C Gerald Martin Anderson, 25, wlio had also confessed to the crime." Anderson, an Air Force me- chanic for six years, lived next 'door to Mrs. Johnson, the pretty 22-year-old wife of his buddy at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Airman 1/C Alec E. Johnson, Anderson had made his confes- ~ sion of the. murders to Air Force investigators. . Elmore County quickly set abouf the business of correcting what now seemed to be a mis- take. Sheriff Earl Winter testi- fied that Dickie's confession in- cluded details only the killer could have known. Dickie also had an unsavory record begin- ning when he was 7 years old and knifed a playmate; at the time of his confession he was in jail on charges of raping and killing 10-year-old Carolyn Rei- tan in Boise. Anderson, on the other hand, was a veteran of service in Saudi Arabia and Okinawa who wore the Good Conduct Ribbon. The court ordered Anderson freed and restored to his wife, Jane, and three children. But the court reckoned with- out the Air Force. "The Air Force has a signed confession from Anderson that he is guil- ty," said Col. Charles Allard, commander of the Titan missile base at Mountain Home and, with that, the Air Force took Anderson into custody again. That's where Federal District Judge Chase Addison Clark en- tered the case. At the request of Anderson's court-appointed coun- sel, Robert McLaughlin of Moun- tain Home, Clark forbade re- moval of the airman from his jurisdiction and ordered Colonel Allard into court in Boise last week to show cause why Ander- son should not be released. "There is a good deal of feeling you cannot escape that there has HORNS APLENTY -- Robert Hal A Edison Home in Fort Myers, Fla, rim, curator of the Thomas stands amid a group of trumpets which adorned: eurly Edison talking 'machines. or FUR-FETCHED -- Safety seat belts, trimmed with fur, are a luxurious form of safety protection offered as gift items.

' been a Gestapo method of hand- ling this case," Judge Clark said. The judge had special refer- ence to the Air Force interro- gation of Anderson. By the Air Force's own account"it went on for 40 hours and 35 minutes over a period of eight days. "Every time I said I didn't do it," An- derson recalled, "one of the in- vestigators would say, 'I don't want to hear that. We've already crossed that bridge." While the court hearing was awaited, the Air Force tapes of Anderson's questioning were leaked -- apparently by the ci- vilian officials. The contents were explosive: "Look, you're a twisted up, violent, sick man," a questioner told Anderson. "1 think you're a psychopathic liar," said another, By the time Colonel Allard got to court, with two legal ex- perts flown in from' the Penta- gon, feeling among the Air Force's civilian neighbours was running high. As Idaho's No. 1 civilian, Gov. Robert Smylie, told NEWSWEEK'S William Flynn, "I would say the hand- ling (of the case) was very in- ept." While tight-lipped Air Force officers listened, the defense ran through the tangled eight-month history of the case. Anderson told his story from the outset on the night of last April 9, when Johnson stumbled into his small rented house about 5 miles from the base. "My buddy told me his wife had been all cut up and was dead and he couldn't find his boy no place," Anderson said. "Did you kill Nancy and Dan- ny?" "I did not." Why had he confessed? "I was so tired and confused from the continued prolonged questioning and badgering that I felt that anything was better than the con- tinued questioning and harass- ment 1 had gone through," he replied. White-haired Judge Clark said that in his opinion the Air Force had yielded jurisdiction in the case when it turned Anderson over to civilian authorities last April. While Clark took the case under advisement, the Air Force went deliberately about finding a face-saving way out. "An im- partial officer" flew into Moun- tain Home to investigate -the charges against Anderson and de- termine whether hé should be tried. The Air Force, meanwhile, .was being investigated by FBI agents who are interested in whether Anderson's civil rights have been infringed.

When they belatedly learned the final score, they also knew they had seen a catch whose superior they'd probably never witness. It was a warm, sunny, April afternoon, and the smell of spring in the air was accompa- nied by a promise of a great baseball year. For this was the inaugural of the first post-war season, and almost all the old, familiar faces were back in the line-ups after those long, hard years in which the rosters had been torn apart by the absence of men in service. Cleveland's Bob Feller and the White Sox's Bill Dietrich began delivery on the unspoken prom- ise of good things to come by hooking up in such a pitchers' duel as seldom is seen before May Day. Six years before Fel- ler had made history by starting the 1940 season with the only Opening Day no - hitter in the record books, right on the very same mound. Now he was al- most as good -- and so was Die- trich, whose own no-hitter was 'nine-years behind him. ' The Indians and the White Sox had finished fifth and sixth, re- spectively, in 1945, but this day the¥ played like champions. The Sox didn't get a hit off Feller until Taft Wright's single with two out in the ifourth, and the Clevelanders nicked Dietrich for only two hits in the {first five innings, as the goose eggs taok: their places in solemn pairs. . . The visitors put a solitary run across in the sixth on a walk to George Case and singles by Hank Edwards and' Les Fleming. But the Hose couldn't score off Fell- er, although they came close in the eighth when Don Kolloway singled, went to third on Thur- man Tucker's infield out and was thrown out at the plate by Case when he tried to score on Ralph Hodgin's pinch single. The score still was 1-0 when the White Sox went to bat in the last half of the ninth inning. Bob Kennedy went up to pinch hit for Dietrich and drew the game's first base on balls off an apparently tiring Feller. Wally Moses laid down a per- fect sacrifice bunt, and Kennedy was on second with the tying run. The little knot of gamblers who used to sit in the bleachers in the shadow of the left field grandstand grew feverish with uncertainty. Jimmie Dykes sent up Murrell Jones (who later, when with Boston, was known as Jake Jones), to bat for Floyd Baker. Jones was a long ball hitter, and with a right-handed batter facing a right-handed pitcher, the out- field played him straight and fairly deep -- Case in left field, Edwards in right and, in centre, coc t 7 ZINGLE BELLS -- Joyce His- key would get a real zing out of these Christmas "bells," if they were serving their in- tended purpose.

Jones caught hold of Feller's first pitch and sent a Texas Leaguer looping toward right centre. The wind, blowing in as usual over the bleacherites' heads, held the ball up but caused it to drift out of the out- fielders' reach, It was a certain base hit. Ken- nedy dug for third 'and Mule Haas, coaching there, gesticulated for him to go all the way. Edwards didn't have a chance for the ball, Neither did this Lemon fellow, it seemed, but he streaked in, his head and shoul- ders hunched so far forward he looked as if he couldn't stay on his feet for many more of those great, fast strides. Kneedy had rounded third and was on his way home with the tying run when Lemon, only a few dozen feet from the edge of the infield, launched himself on a long, low dive and stretched out his gloved hand as he crashed to the grass. Ball, glove and cen- tre fielder were involved in a spectacular tumble, Kennedy crossing the plate before Lemon could get to his feet and toss the ball to Lou Boudreau. There was no supplementary scoreboard on the grandstand's upper-deck railing at Comiskey Park, as there is today, and nei- ther of the regular boards on the outfield walls was visible to most of the bleacherites. For a mat- ter of seconds there were many out there in the warm April sun who thought the score was tied. The gamblers, quickest and can- niest observers of all, stood root- ed in their places, squinting to- ward the diamond. The inhabi- tants of the Cleveland bullpen, down in the right field corner, did likewise. There even seemed to be a moment's hesitation on the part of the Indians in the field. It wasn't until the Indians started trotting toward the dugout that those in the bleachers were cer- tain Lemon had caught the ball, "Kennedy had been doubled off second, the game was over and the White Sox had lost, 1-0. A year later, in his book, "Strikeout Story," Bob Feller (or his co-writer, Franklin Lewis) called Lemon's catch "the great- est outfield play 1 have ever seen." Feller's opinion is good enough for anybody who was in Comiskey Park on April 16, 1946.. Death Was Lurking In Ocean Depths In the glaring noontime sun, the gaudy yellow diving cham- ber called Atlantis swung slight- ly side to side as the crane low- ered it toward the sparkling blue surface of Avalon Harbour at Santa Catalina Island. Then, at 12.04 p.m., looking like a mons- trous cylindrical insect with its piggyback gas capsules and limp joining tubes, the Atlantis plunk- ed out of the sunlight into the dark fathoms of the sea. Within the 4- by 7% - foot chamber, sweating in glass-faced hoods and heavy rubber skin- diving suits, Hannes Keller and Peter Small were shooting for a record, By the plan, they would leave the chamber 1,000 feet down, near the ocean floor, and swim free deeper than man had ever done. The start of the adventure had been smooth. On board the Eur- eka, the oil exploration ship which launched the Atlantis, Keller had painstakingly double- checked plans, procedures, and crew. It was, after all, his pro- ject. A 28-year-old Swiss mathema- tician, Keller hoped to prove -- primarily to the U.S. Navy, which financed part of the experiment -- that by breathing a secret mixture of gases he had concoct- ed, divers could operate freely at fantastic depths and still avoid that nemesis of the deep -- the bends. Small, a 35-year-old reporter for The London Daily Telegraph, was there partly for the story, partly as a lark. In fact, the whole mood was almost jocular- I have a feeling that Hannes doesn't really need that secret gas," said Christopher Whittaker, 19, a stand-by safety diver. "He really: has blood like a_whale." Only 40 minutes after the At- lantis sapk from view, however, it became apparent that the ex- periment was somehow going "wrong. Two television cameras, fixed outside the Atlantis so observers at screens aboard ship could monitor activity in the chamber, hadn't served as well as expect- ed. Through much of the de- scent either Small's or Keller's body blocked the view. But then at 12.42, observers said, the eerie spectacle of someone's foot leav- © ing the Atlantis escape hatch flashed across the screen. Then after a pause Keller re- ported on the radio: "I think we have a gas leak." Soon the TV monitors seemed to show -- the picture was not perfect -- both men slumped over, y Keller's assistants ordered the Atlantis raised to 200 feet, and' safety divers -- Whittaker and: BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES U.S.A, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES .

Dick Anderson, 30 -- were sent to convert the chamber from Keller's gas mixture to com- pressed air. This done, the safety divers surfaced only to learn that ob- servers had determined the At- lantis hatch was leaking. Chris Whittaker, though his nose was bleeding, joined Anderson in diving again. "We found a piece of swim fin was caught 'in the hatch," An- derson recalled last week. "I cut away the fin. I. indicated to Chris he should surface and tell them, to pull the bell up. He swam out of my view. After about ten minutes the ball was not being hoisted so 1 went to the top. They. said Chris had never come up." Whittaker was lost; divers could not find his body. Aud a gecond death was discovered when the Atlantis was hoisted to the deck. After six hours of decompression, the hatch was opened, and Peter Small's body was removed. Hannes Keller, though he had been unconscious, emerged in good shape. "] opened our face masks," Keller recalled. "Peter was con- scious at that time, I knew it would make us both unconscious, but I knew there was enough air outside the masks in the diving bell to last us untli we reached the surface." Keller, his gas mixture still a secret, had little further to say except to comment: "In the ab-' stract sense our diving experi- ment was still a success." « How Can I? By Roberta Lee Q.
