u. S. Will Chart Ocean Bed Again

ocean bed.
1t is the task of the coast and
geodetic survey division of the
Commerce department to keep up
to date typographical maps of the
terrain under coastal waters.
Six ships operated by this divi-
sion make up the wOOdpeckers'
fleet. On the side of each ship is
a sounder, in effect a hammer which
beats against the hull. Scientists
measure the time 1t takes for this
sound to go down to the bottom
and echo back to the surface.
Knowing the rate of speed of sound
under water, this gives the depth.
Back and forth the woodpecker
ships go, rapping out their stacatto
sub-sea chatter. and the listeners
chart the depths as they proceed.
To determine the exact position
of each sounding. bombs are thrown
overheard which explode on strlk
ing the water. Position is comput
ed by a method of triangulation
based on the length of time it takes
the noise of the bomb to reach two
known points ashore or two ships
anchored at known positions.
This charting of the cOnvOlutiOns
of the coastal bottom is kept so up
to date and is so exact that a COM
merciaI ship equipped with a
"woodpecker" device. as many now
are. can place its position when
other means are unavailable mere
ly by taking progressive soundings
and checking against the coast and
geodetic survey maps.
But this means constant recheck-
ing and remapping, and the hurri-
canes of the past summer have
made unusual changes. So the
"wOodpeckers are out again. TAX

island, built the road up the
mountainside and gave 1t to the

So at curfew time each night

the underbrush a chain as big
as your wrist, and turns a key
in the paddock. joining the two
ends of the chain, bolted secure

ton Wade, postal clerk, whose his
tory of the expedition was pub
lished with the monuments unveil-
ing.
In the summer of 1912 the Re
public of Texas was still at war
with Mexico, although the decisive
battle of San Jacinto had been
fought and won by Gen. Sam Hous-
tons army six years before. On
September II force of 1,200 Mex
leans under Gen. Adrian Vol in
vaded the village of San Antonio,
taking captive the district judge,
the grand jury and the lawyers at
tending the court then in session.
The Texas militia west of the
BraZos river was ordered to attack
the MeXicans. Capt. Matthew Cald-
we'll of Gonzales led company of
eighty men against WOll and defeat
ed the Mexicans at Salado creek.
Through misunderstanding Of po-
sitions, however, Capt. Nicholas
Dawson of La Grange. leading a
company of fifty-three men to join
Caldwell, found himself surrounded
and cut off by the retreating Mex
leans. The Mexicans cut down the
Texans with grapeshot. Thirty
two were killed and a number of
others captured.
Brigadier General Somervell led
a force of Texans in pursuit of the
enemy. who retreated across the
Rio Grande. A unit under Capt.
William S. Fisher, followed the
MeXicans across the river.
Defeated in Attack on Mier.
On Christmas night. 1S42, the
Texans attacked the Mexican vii
laGe of Mier. Fisher was wounded
and the Texans surrendered. They
were marched toward Mexico City,
but at Hacienda Salado. 100 miles
from SaltillO, they escaped. After
wandering for days in the noun
tains, they were recaptured by a
Mexican cavalry squad.
Gen. Santa Anna ordered one in
each ten of the prisoners to be shot.
On March 25 they were made to
draw beans from a pitcher held by
an officer. 1t contained seventeen
black beans and $50 white ones.
That night the seventeen were shot
as they sat on log.
The rest of the band, with the
exception of Capt. Ewing Cameron,
were taken to Mexico City and kept
at hard labor for years. Eventual
ly all were liberated.
Later, during the war with Mex
leo, Texas members of Gen. Zach
Taylor's army got an order on the
alcalde of Hacienda SaladO to
surrender the remains of the seven
teen Texans who were shot there.
They were brought to La Grange,
center of the district from which
most of the Texans had come. A
few years later the remains Of the
thirty-six killed at Salado creek
also were returned to Texas.

organize to struggle for more re-

The first move of the City ad-

cation of the Unemployed Council
was when Mayor Marvin personally
ordered three leaders of the I'm
employed Council deported from
Syracuse. This action on the part
of the Mayor only sharpened the
workers determination to organize.
Leaflets were issued by the Unem-
ployed Council calling workers to
hear I. Amter, National Organizer
of the Unemployed Councils. This
leaflet also exposed as enemies of
the workers Mayor Marvin and
the chief of police. Two workers
were arrested while distributing
these leaflets and held on $500 bail
