Sought for Land
Owned byWiIkins

Donald L. wilkins, husband
of Fairfax County Board
Chairman Anne wilkins, has
filed an application for tower
apartment coming on 12.5 acres
between Seven Corners and
Culmore.
The wilkins land, their home
for many years, was contained
in the County Planning Staff's
master map for proposed
apartment development.
Mrs. wilkins in the past has
opposed apartment develop
ments in the area. But last
month the Board of county
supervisors approved tower
apartment coming for land
next to the Wilkins property.
When the tower apartment
zoning was approved, neighbor-
hood residents suggested that
all the vacant land in the area
be developed as one large
apartment project.
Mrs. Wilkins said her hus-
band had filed the application
with this in mind. Projects
under tower apartment coming
can range from 6 to IL stories

pay increase. The pay bill
passed, but without the au-
thorization.
The move inaugurated today
would involve amendent of the
Teachers Salary Act of 1855,
DR.. Hansen said. If approved
by the full board, it would go
to the Commissioners for final
approval and then be sent to
Congress-. probably in January.
DR.. Hansen also asked the
legislation committee today to
withdraw a board request made
almost three years ago asking
the Corporation CounSePS OF
fee to draft a law which would
specify the conditions under
which District school children
could be dropped from regular
classes.
The proposal applies for the
most part to students who
show evidence of mental or
emotional disturbances or who,
because of illness, may be nom
educable.
The superintendent told the
committee that the schools have
a moral responsibility to aid
such children and that they al

Over Fioncee; Two Youths Held

A District man was shot to

fire on Southeast Washington

to headquarters for question
ing.
Richard Earl Smithey, Is. of

with first-degree murder and
held without bond.
Capt. Lawrence A. Hartnett.

explained that Smithey was
charged because he obtained
the murder weapon and turned
it over to the 17-year-old.

PETERSON, AS A repre-
sentative of the Smith
sonian, had a contract with
Tucker to visit the ship,
which is about Is feet under

the institutions collection.
Any further treasure

But treasure hunters are
magnanimous VIII e n they
strike it rich. Tucker al
lowed Peterson to carry away
a length of gold chain
probably fashioned in Ma
Mia - and pieces of eight
bearing the inscription of
Phillip III of Spain.
During the three weeks
Peterson spent in Bermuda,
a typical day at the wreck
was two hours below in the
morning, lunch and q nap
and two hours below in the
afternoon.
A man in the boat above

was constant. There is
something new about diving.
The diver Of years back with

closure and glass helmet had
difficulty moving about. With
his light gear the skin diver

Peterson brought back
items from the cargo-indi-
go, cordage and tobacco. The
last needed no filter; 800
years in salt water had puri-
fed it. He also brought back
artifacts (broken pieces Of
pottery: and personal be-
longings of the passengers.

No lives were lost in the
wreck of the San Antonio.
When it struck the reef the
crew took the longboat and
left the officers and pas
sengers to go down with the

the seas calmed next day
they made a raft from the

THE CORRESPONDENCE

THE CORRESPONDENCE
of the Spaniards in protest
about the English colonists
of Bermuda has been pre-
served and published in a
book. The Bermudians were
very helpful personally but
they stripped that part of
the wreck out of water of
cargo and valuables. The
protests were of no avail.
Listening to Mendel Peter
son yesterday in his cubby
hole office in the Smith
Sonian was a treat. The story
of the research involved was
even more interesting than
the story of the hours spent
under water.
An invoice of the cargo
of the San Antonio is be-
lieved to be in the Casa
Lonja in Seville. The Span
iards were very meticulous
about record keeping.
A search is being made to
determine that the cargo
recovered is that of the ship
wrecked with no loss of life
in 1921.
The BermudaS were a
point where the Spanish
fleets, the treasure ships and
their convoy, made a AK
checked their position-on
their way home.
There is a tradition that
the early English settlers
placed lights in false posi-
tions to lure the Spanish
ships on the reefs. Bermu-
dians of today take pride in
this. They point out the hill
where the lights were shown.
