Search Begins
fir Pirate Ship
'Austin, Tex. —UP)— The
state today became party to
a sea rch for one of Jean La-
fitte’s sunken pirate ships.
Basdom Giles, commissioner of
the General Land Office, granted
an exploration permit to B. J.
Krigar of Houston and Tom Ball
to search 149 acres of Lake Miller
in Clumbers County. . ij
Krigar told Giles he feels con
fident that he has located one of
the fnpious pirate’s sunken ships,
registered and later reported sunk
in, that vicinity some 150 years
•fCj. ;
' Under terms of the state per-
m|it, tpe first of its kind ever is
sued, the permanent school fulnd
wiould receive 25 per cent of all
precious metals, gems or other
valuables recovered.
Krigar said that the best infor
mation he has been able to gather
indicates that Lafitte was carrying
a heavy cnfgo and was alone on
the vessel at the time it was
stranded, and] after a desperate
effort to work the ship dear, he
sank it. Ml ; ' . [ I
The marine explorer said that
the vjessel, (approximately 75 }leet,
in length with a 30-foot beam, inow
rests (in approximately nine fe4t of
silt. IHe thinks ] that it may be
fairly] well jprtsejrved as it was be
lieved to Jiave been constructed
from j heavV cjyppess timbers.

Even if ho valuables are fejund,
Krigfir said^ recovery of the vessel

tlotic relic.

Teacher’s Salaries
Above Set Minimum
II 1 1 I •. j 'i' t ^ i ' I
Austin, Tex—(/P)—A teacher with a master’s degree will
receive $4,762 in the town of Boling, Wharton County, this
coming school year, j [
Teachers with Bachelor’s degrees will be paid as high as
$4,200 in the public schools of Deer Park and Katy, two Har
ris County towns.
' The lowest salary drawn by a teacher with a bachelor’s
degree in the jEctor County Indejiehdent School District,
which includes the city of Odessa, will be $3,000.
These were figures released yesterday by Charles H. Ten
nyson, Public Relations Director for the Texas State Teach
ers Association. •
jl j I Questionai re Results
Tennyson said replies of 633 superintendents to R question-
aire he had sent out on salary schedules indicated that many j
teachers will be drawing pay comparable to or better than
that of college faculty members. ,
Some 40 percent of the public school teachers are in dis
tricts that will pay above the state minimum fixed in the
Gilmer-Aiken Laws passed by the 51st Legislature, he
ifenprtecU ]' . j •; . :!
The minimums vary from $2,403 for a beginning teacher
with a bachelor’s degree to $3,051 after 12 years experience
and from $2,628 for a new teacher with a master’s degree to
$4,032 at the end of 26 years; i . J j i
School districts with fower than 5,000 scholastics will pay
the salaries set in the minimum foundation program act in
most instances, Tennyson said.
|j, j Salary Raises - J: • i
“Many schools indicated that it might prove possible to
supplement salaries before the end, of the year,” he added.
Sixty-nine schools reported schedules above the minimum.
Additionally, 46 districts offer more than the minimum for
special teachers. This includes Coaches, and Directors, De
partment Heads, and Directors of Special Activities.
Including these latter districts; 424,838 scholastics live in
districts that will pay above the state minimum.
Dallas and Fort Worth Salaries ]
Fort Worth and Dallas offer some of the most attractive
salaries. The Fort Worth schedule spreads from $2,500 to
$4,100 for teachers with Bachelor’s degrees and from $2,700
to $4,300 for those with master’s degrees.
Dallas will p v ay only slightly less: $2,450 to $4,000 for
Bachelor-degree teachers, and $2,650 to $4,300 for holders of
Master’s degrees, V ^
Tennyson said Ector County’s schedule was “One 00 the
best.” It streches from $3,000 to $3,900 for those with Bache
lor’s degrees and from $3,050 to $4,300 for those with Mas
ter’s.
Many of the districts have raised the minimums for teach
ers with Bachelor’s degrees almost to the level of those with
Master’s, apparently feeling that possession of the higher
degree does not merit the difference in salaries established
in the States minimum scale. {
