Liner’s Hijacking /*** * Related By Purser

EDITORS NOTE — The follawtag account of the hijacktog of the Portetuese luxury liner Santa Maria was riven to police at St. Lucia Island in the Windward Islands by the ship’s assistant purser. Police declined to identify the ship’s officer, who was put ashore by the pirates, but gave United Press International his account. The dispatch - tallows. By assistant purser of the Santa Maria As told to St. Lucia Police and Belayed to UPI - ' PORT CASTRIES, St. Lucia (.UPI) — It was like something out of,one of those pirate stories you read as a boy. At 0100 hours (1 a.m.) Sunday, a gang of about 50 to 100 of the passengers took over the Santa Maria off Caracas. They went up to the bridge, shot one officer and wounded a second officer. They took over everything with hardly any trouble. 1 was in my cabin and heard the noise on deck, so I went up to see what was going on. ill found these pirates had told (he captain to do what they told h(m or be shot. They were armed with tommy guns, rrenades and I heard one of the crew say they were Communists, I don't k' ow. ; Anyway, they were all Portuguese. The ringleader had escaped Jail in Portugal some time ago. I don't know yet where they got OU board. ffbe passengers were all very frightened, of course. But none of them—at least those I saw—tried to do anything, fight back or get away in the boats. After all, it was useless. They were not armed, and where could they go? There was only the ocean around us. - The captain, as far as I know, is still navigating. The pirates forced him. He had no choice in the matter. I’m pretty sure all the pirates were men. I didn’t see any women. But they were a mean-looking lot of men.

REAPPORTIONMENT (Continued from page 1) But one prominent Democratic leader in the Indiana Legislature described the plan as unwise and said he hoped his colleagues would not go through with their intentions. ~- Minority leader Birch Bayh of West Terre Haute, who was House speaker in the 1959 session, said he understood there would be a petition filed contesting Ristine’s election before the deadline Wednesday. do not think it is wise,” Bayh said. “We have more important things to do.” Presumably, however, some of his fellow legislative leaders felt that contesting Ristine’s election by barely 6,000 votes last Nov. 8 was the proper means of countering two GOF-inspired petitions filed last week cc r 'testing the election of Welsh by about 22,000 votes. Earlier, the Senate passed and sent to the House late Monday a bill to provide a substantial boost to the minimum salaries of school teachers, and among the new bills introduced was one sponsored by the Indiana Municipal League to permit cities to levy taxes on utility bills. The utility tax bill was introduced by Sen. Jesse Dickinson, D-South Bend. The teacher salary bil passed 30-16 despite a futile attempt by a handful of minority Republicans : to prevent passage. The bill would raise the minimum pay for beginning teachers with less than four years of colI lege training from $2,600 to $3,500, : and for beginning teachers with four years of training from $3,600 to $4,500. The top minimum for 1 experienced teachers would climb from $4,600 to $7,000. 1 Chief objection to the measure was that its cost, estimated by the authors at $8,976,263 per year, would fall primarily on the property taxpayer. However, there were passing references to the role played by Robert H. Wyatt, executive secretary of the Indiana State Teachers Association, In lobbying for the bill. Would Deny Relief * Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, RElkhart, charged that the bill would “take away from those who have not, to give to those who have.” He said Republicans and . Democrats both had promised . four million property taxpayers they would get relief from this ■ legislature, but the teacher pay hike would be a denial of that promise. Bontrager said education costs as now in the budget stand at $230 million for the biennium. He said Governor Welsh’s budget message would hike this to $242 million and noted “this I would support.” But he said State School Supt. William E. Wilson has estimated that the promised hikes would make this two-year figure $262 million. The bill was introduced by Sens. John Shawley, R-LaPorte, and Chester Watson, D-Fort , Wayne. In the House, it will be I sponsored by Reps. Donald Foltz, D-Clinton, and Richard Wright, RWinchester. | Shawley told the senators durtog the pre-vote debate that the I measure will affect about half of I

the 39,616 teachers now employed in the Indiana schools. He said raising the minimum salaries would encourage teachers who have quit their jobs to “come .back to the educational field for (which they trained.” “It’s Our Business’’ Sen, Earl F. Landgrebe, R-Val-paraiso, opposed the measure on grounds that “people in my district seem to feel the matter of handling teacher pay is prettymuch their own business.” Sen. Charles R. Kellum, R- . Mooresville, contended the bill should not be considered now but should be held until the budget bills are reviewed. “We can't assess the impact of this bill until the budget situation I has jelled,” he said. Sen. Paul Bilby, R-Waraaw, said in his district the cost “will I be prohibitive for our school corI porations.” I “It may mean anything from 50 cents to $2 per SIOO of property I evaluation,” Bilby said. "Who is I the lobbyist for the taxpayer back I home?’ Meanwhile, a program to reI organize the Indiana State HighI way Department, backed by GovI ernor Welsh, is expected to come I under heavy attack this afternoon I at a public hearing of the Senate I Roads Committee.

it now stands, are failure to specify the compensation of the commissioners and the director: too many administrative duties put in the hands of the part-time commissioners which they would not have time to meet; lack of specific qualifications for the executive director, and a hobbling of his authority by placing him under the supervision of the commission. , The Senate today may also get a split report on the “right to work’ repealer which was originally scheduled for Monday but was delayed by labor committee chairman Sen. William Christy, ,'D-Hammond. The minority report is scheduled to be offered by Sen, 1 1 John C. Ruckelshaus, R-Indian-apolis, and will propose killing ■ the issue for this session; However the Senate’s razor-thin ’ majority is expected to be sufficient to keep the repealer alive ' until it is buried in a House com- ' mittee.

Construction Worker Is Killed By Steel MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (UPD— A construction worker was killed and another man injured late Monday when a pile of steel toppled on them at the Midwest Steel Co. plant near here. Vincent J. Bolakowski, Union Mills, an electrician for the David W. Murray Construction CcT, Cleveland, died about two hours after the accident at Mercy Hospital at Gary. Paul L. Nelson, 53, Trail Creek, also an electrician, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and was expected to *be released today.

DORWIN SPEAKS (Continued ffora page 1) ture, and late woodland, make up the usual type designations. The Adena culture Indians roamed the forests of this area from about 800 B. C. to 800 A. D.; Then the late woodland Indians, took over until about 1.800 A.D., when the white man finally established himself in this area. Stable Village Life Actually, the Indian civilizations, before the coming of the white man, were very stable, with villages, stockades, etc. Indians did not become nomads until driven from the homes by the pressure of white settlements. This pressure made the situation in the last part of the late woodland culture one of chaos and movement. Burial mounds are generally associated with the Adena and Hopewell cultures, Dorwin continued. Fort Ancient, in Ohio, includes four milbs of earthworks thrown up by Hopewell culture Indians. Earthen walls 20 feet high protect the accessible parts of the fort. Pottery Important The most important objects in identifying a culture are not the commonly found arrowheads and stone objects, but the pottery, Dorwin explained. Pottery, however, is rarely found by farmers or persons hunting arrowheads, because it is the same color as dirt, crumbles very readily when touched by machinery, and is well camouflaged. Some has been found in this county, however. In examining pottery to fix its time period, two things are most important: temper and decoration Temper deals with the material added to the clay to make it hold together when fired or baked. There are shell tempers, clay tempers (bits of broken pots used), and sand tempers. Probably no shell-tempered material will be found here, as that is generally left by the Mississipan culture, which did not come this far north. Dorwin, who has spent several days investigating Indian sites in the county, said that he hoped to be able to do further work here, and would appreciate information concerning Indian mounds, pottery sites, or other Indian sites 'hat interseted persons have located. Records Valuable Locally made collections are very valuable to the trained archeologist, but they lose value to the extent that the owner can identify the exact location where the object was found. Dorwin suggested that collectors number each article found, and then keep a simple record, with the number, showing where each item was found, in reference to a field, or distance from a home or road intersection, etc. The more systematic method, used by Dr. Glenn Black, state archeologist, in studying the Angel Mound site near Evansville, was then explained by the young student. Catalog Method ' The 110-acre site, where a large village surrounded by a stockade once stood,' is now being systematically studied. The entire site is mapped out, and divided into squares 200 feet on each SideEach row down is lettered, each row across numbered, so each square has a designation like HlO, or 812. Each square is then quartered into smaller areas 100

feet on each side, and these in turn are divided into tenths, each 10 feet on a side. These tenths are the units which ; are worked with. Each square contains 100 square feet. The archeologist goes through the soil, .4 toot deep, over the entire area, with a four-inch trowel. He sifts the dirt with his fingers, . removing any object found. All material on that level 16 carefully placed in sack, and recorded, . and the sack is marked by square . location, and level. The sacks t are then taken in, and articles I found are washed, a number . painted on each, and a card fully describing the article is made out, t with the exact location where , found. Then the next level is searched, and so on, until sterile soil is ’ found. Here discoloration is [ sought for the location of burial . pits or post boles, so that the . village can be mapped. i The area »so carefully cata- . loged that Dr. Black can take any t one of the 4% million artifacts . found since the mld-1930’5, and tell every tad about it, from location to the date found, and j probably show you a picture of , it.

Questions Asked Following the meeting, a numj ber of questions were asked, and ’ members and guests stayed until [ well after 10 p. m. to see the col- ! lections. Dorwin explained that a screen 1 . was not used in going through J the soil, for several reasons. L First, small articles could go i through a screen undetected, j while Dr. Black’s group went through the material with their • J bare hands, finding beads so small | ; the finest screen would pass them.

Also, the soil contains no native stone of any kind, so any hard object found is from either Indian or white culture. The name Hopewell for the Fort Ancient culture was taken from the name of the man on whose farm the culture was first described and cataloged, over in Ohio, Dorwin stated. Axes Classed Stone axes three-quarters grooved are newer than those completely grooved; those with a full groove could range in age from 7,000 years to 800 years 8.C., while those three-quarter grooved might be from the period 500 A.D. to 1800 A.D. Radioactive Carbon 14 is used in determining the dates. Slate gorgets can also be “typed” in this manner, with those drilled from one side older than those drilled from both sides. The exact use of gorgets is not known; traditionally they have been thought to be chest ornaments, but none have ever been found on an Indian’s chest in burial. Dorwin stated that they might well have been tied to he warrior’s arm by a hong through the hole to protect is while using a bow. Soft material and types of stones often indicate an older or inferior culture, he added 2 Best Display The best display of the Ohiotype cultures is probably found at the Ohio State Bureum at Ohio State in Columbus, wih another good museum found in Cincinnat--1 ti, 0., he told the group.

A stone pipe, from the early or Aderja culture, belonging to the Richard Mailand collection, was shown. Dorwin stated that at the river bank the group dug 27 feet deep, and still did not reach sterile soil, but that most of the rest of the area contained from one to one-and-a-half feet of material, with being about the deepest that he ever excavated last summer at Angel Mound. Eisenhower Quail Hunting In Georgia ALBANY, Ga. (UPD — Private citizen Dwight D. Eisenhower, minus the government plane and the retinue of aides and agents of the past eight years, flew to south Georgia Monday for a week of quail hunting. The former President made the trip in a private plane furnished by the Cities Service Co. His host W. Alton Jones, board chairman of Cities Service, was dressed in hunting togs when he met Eisenhower at the Albany airport, and the two men were after quail in Janes’ 1,500 - acre blue springs plantation less than an hour later. The former Chief Executive left near-zero temperatures and snow- ; covered fields behind him at the Gettysburg. Pa., farm where he * spent his first weekend after leavI ing the White House.
