Texas oilman to continue
Titanic search in June
United Press International
ABILENE — Efforts to locate
and explore the “Titanic” have
drawn praise from people around
the world, including a survivor of
the 1912 shipwreck that claimed
1,513 lives, says oilman Jack
Grimm.
Grimm said Tuesday he plan
ned to return to the site off the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland in
June to continue a project begun
last year. He told of receiving hun
dreds of messages from people
wishing him success in the ven
ture.
“I must have a thousand letters
from all over the world,” he said.
“Every one of them, without
exception, has either added some
information they thought might
help, or wished us good luck.
There has been no negative re
sponse from anyone.”
Grimm said one of the letters
was from Frank Goldsmith of
Florida, who was 9 years old when
he escaped the “Titanic” with his

mother. Goldsmith’s father
perished in the wreck.
The Florida man is one of some
20 people now living who fled the
46,000-ton ship after it collided
with an iceberg on its maiden
voyage April 14, 1912, and sank in
12,000-foot-deep water, Grimm
said.
He said members of his earlier
expedition used special sonar
equipment to survey 14 locations
and pinpointed two objects on the
sea floor that could be the remains
of the liner.
The wealthy Abilene oilman
said his party will leave the East
Coast on June 15 aboard the Texas
A&M research ship, the “Gyre,”
to continue electronic probing of
the sea.
It is rumored that $125 million
worth of diamonds went down
with the “Titanic.”
“We can’t confirm this,” Grimm
said, “but we do know there was a
jewel-encrusted copy of a book
called the ‘Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam.’ If we can find that, it
would pay for the cost of two or
three expeditions.”

Here’s the difference
between a bank’s
interest-bearing
checking account
and ours:
Ours has a $300
minimum balance.
Theirs requires more
(in some cases,
much more).
MoneyStore was the first interest-bearing checking account in the
Brazos Valley. And it’s still the best. Look at these features:
• $300 Minimum Balance (not $500, $600, $700, $1,000 or $1,200).
You pay no service charges at Brazos Savings if you maintain only a $300
minimum balance.
• Maximum Interest—Regardless of Balance. MoneyStore pays you
5 1 /4% interest, compounded continuously, on your balance (an effective
annual yield of 5.47%). Even if your balance drops below $300, you earn
maximum interest on your funds.
• Telephone Bill Paying at No Extra Cost. With your authorization,
MoneyStore will pay some of your bills direct. Just call us, tell us who to pay,
how much and when. Keep your funds earning interest until you need to pay
your bills. (On telephone bill paying, we pay the postage. If we miss a due
date through our error, we pay the late fee.)
• Overdraft Protection. Brazos Savings has automatic overdraft pro
tection for qualifying MoneyStore customers. And it costs you nothing —
until you use it.
It’s easy to open a MoneyStore checking account.
And we’ll pay you to use it.

Deletions, additions
to brothel list denied
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — An attorney
for El Pueblo, a bilingual news
paper that printed 19 names from
a brothel trick list, said Wednes
day the periodical was accurate in
its publication of a list, despite a
claim that some names were de
leted and others were added.
Attorney Jesse Botello, who
was named Tuesday in a theft com
plaint in connection with former
madame Theresa Brown’s trick
list, said he has never seen the
trick list but he believes El Pueb
lo’s publication was accurate.
In the Friday edition of El
Pueblo, the newspaper printed 19
of 3,000 names allegedly con
tained in the card file of Brown.
But Armandina Saldivar, who
obtained 6rown’s list of clients
and gave it to El Pueblo for publi
cation, said names of a city coun
cilman and a city businessman
were added to the list and two
judges’ names were removed.
“If they are not going to print
the names, I want the cards back
so I can burn them,” said Saldivar.
She has said she wanted the entire
list published, but El Pueblo offi
cials said it would be selective ab
out names it published from the
trick list.
She filed theft complaints Tues
day against Botello and El Pueblo
spokesman Antonio Cabral.
“(Saldivar’s) allegations are un
founded. Neither of us had any
connection with any type of theft,’
Botello said. “I’ve never seen the
cards, I don’t want to see the cards
and I don’t know where they are
now.”

remedial instruction
nese pro I
fthe law —
United Press International
AUSTIN — The House today
tentatively approved a bill direct
ing the Texas Education Agency to
establish a summer pilot program
for remedial instruction for stu
dents who fail a grade or who have
limited English proficiency.
The bill by Rep. Bill Blanton,
R-Carrollfon, would cost a max
imum of $5 million a year and app
ly to 26 school districts in the state.
The pilot program would expire in
1985.
“The real benefit is that school
facilities will be used during the
summer and some teachers would
have employment,” Blanton said
Rep. Bill Hollowell, D-Grand
Saline, argued that the Legisla
ture was approving too many “li
beral oddities” and the appropria
tions bill, which will he consi
dered later, could be larger than
the amount of revenue the state
has.
“You don’t have the money to
pay for this,” Hollowell said.
The bill was recommended by
Gov. Bill Clements and an educa
tion committee the governor
appointed.
