AUSTIN — The state Monday
announced the settiement for
$313,000 of a dispute over the sal
vage of a 16th century Spanish gal
leon that is believed to have sunk off
the Texas coast 430 years ago.
Attorney General Jim Mattox said
the settlement resolves a 17-year-old
legal controversy that arose before
passage in 1969 of the Texas Antiq
uities Code, which now protects re
covery of pre-20th vessels from
state-owned submerged lands.
The agreement, which negates
two pending lawsuits, confirms the
state’s ownership of the priceless ar
tifacts recovered in 1967 from the
Espiritu Santo,and provides that the
state will retain custody of the trea
sure.
The treasure included silver
coins, a small gold cross and silver
discs.
The Espiritu Santo is believed to
have sunk in 1554 during a violent
storm about one-half mile off the
coast of Padre Island while enroute
from the New World to Spain.
Archaelogists say it is apparently
the oldest New World shipwreck
ever exavacated and represents one
of the most important remnants of
the Spanish era in Texas.
The shipwreck was found in 15-
20 feet of water, but the ship was
buried beneath another four to 10
feet of sand which had acted as a ca-
coon to preserve the wreckage.
The agreement resolved the sala-
vage claims of Platoro Limited, Inc.,
a Gary, Ind., private salvage com
pany that headed the 1967 recovery
project, and twojoint venturers, Wil
liam Kenon Jr., a Brownsville
shrimp boat operator, and George
K. Purvis, a California diver.
A lawsuit was filed to halt the re
covery operations by Platoro in 1967
and require the salvage company to
return the treasure to Texas from
Indiana, where it had been stored.
The artifacts are now in the cus
tody of the Texas Antiquities Com
mission and are undergoing analysis
at the University of Texas in Austin.
Platoro had agreed to undertake
the salvage of the Espiritu Santo for
half of the treasure, but the state
claimed in its lawsuits that the com
pany made an unauthorized entry
on public lands.
The case had been appealed three
times to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals and prompted passage of
the law which prohibits recovery of
sunken pre-20th century vessels up
to 10 miles off shore.
The law was passed largely be
cause of the public controversy over
the salvage and the handling of the
case. The dispute also reportedly
contributed to Jerry Sadler’s defeat
in his bid for re-election as state land
commissioner in 1970.

Child car seat legislation sought
United Press International
AUSTIN — “Footdragging and
ignorance” in the Texas Legislature
killed a bill last year that would have
mandated the use of child car safety
seats, but a lawmaker predicted
Monday the bill will pass in the cur
rent special session.
“We can succeed and make Texas
48th,” said Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port
Arthur. “That’s better than being
50th, I suppose.
Only Texas, Louisiana and
Wyoming do not require the use of
automobile safety restraints for
small children.
Parker, the Senate sponsor of a
bill to require the use of safety seats
for children aged 4 and under, said
he expects the legislation to clear a
Senate committee this week.
Gov. Mark White has not opened
up the special session call to include
issues other than education, high
ways and taxes, but Parker said he
expects White to include the car seat
bill before the Legislature adjourns
July 3.
“I’m satisfied we will not leave this
special session without addressing
this bill,” said Parker, who claimed
support from White, Lt. Cov. Bill
Hobby and House Speaker Gib Le
