Sh/p s/te under 13,120 feet
Titanic’s wreckage found
Associated Press
PARIS — A U.S.-French expedi
tion has located the wreck of the Ti
tanic about 560 miles off Newfound
land, a French government institute
announced Monday. The British
luxury liner struck an iceberg and
sank in 1912 with the loss of 1,513
lives.
The Institute for Research and
Exploitation of the Sea said the
wreckage, found in 13,120 feet of
water, was identified by the French-
made SAR submarine sonar system
and American-made ARGO under
water cameras.
The Titanic, which its owners
billed as unsinkable, was bound for
New York on its maiden voyage
when it went down on the night of
April 13-14, 1912.
In its announcement, the agency
said the French and American insti
tutes sponsoring the expedition
agreed in advance not to make pub
lic statements on the results of the
search “unless they were absolutely
certain of the facts.”
Sunday night, Canada’s commer
cial television network CTV broad
cast what it said was a ship-to-shore
interview with Dr. Robert Ballard,
“We came on it (the Ti
tanic) early this morning.
It was just bang, there it
was right on top of it. ,, —
Dr. Robert Ballard, an
American memhenof the
expedition for the Titanic.
an American member of the expedi
tion, in which he said the team
found pieces of the wreck
early Sunday about 360 miles south
of Newfoundland.
According to the conversation
broadcast by CTV, Ballard said from
the U.S. Navy research ship Knorr:
“We came on it early this morning. It
was just bang, there it was right on
top of it. Our initial reaction was ex
citement, then a coming down off
that to realize that we had found the
ship where 1,500 people had died.”
Ballard is associated with the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institu
tion in Cape Cod, Mass. Shelley Lau-
zon, information manager for the
institution, said Monday she was try
ing to reach the Knorr to confirm
the report.
The French agency’s announce
ment said it and the Wcxids Hole in
stitute would hold simultaneous
news conferences about the discov
ery, in Paris and Washington, on
Sept. 13, with the members of the
expedition participating.
It did not give the precise location
of the wreck, apparently for security
reasons.
At the time of the disaster, the Ti
tanic was the largest and most luxu
rious ocean liner ever built.

KINGSTON, Okla. — The for
tunes of businesses along Lake Tex
oma rise and fall with water level,
says Sandra McClain, who rep
resents a group of marina operators,
business and civic leaders from Ok
lahoma and Texas.
The Lake Texoma Association
also wants more stringent restric
tions on how much water can be
used for power generation.
In addition to power generation,
the lake, on the Oklahoma-Texas
border, is used for flood control and
municipal water supplies.
It is also a source of recreation,
with an estimated 12 million people
visiting Lake Texoma in 1984.
McClain’s group wants congres
sional acknowledgment that recre
ation is a prime function of the
89,000-acre reservoir and an adjust
ment in the way water in the lake is
allocated.
Recreational boats worth more
than $30 million are moored at ma
rinas along the shoreline, but the
federal law authorizing Lake Texo-
ma’s construction nearly 50 years
ago does not mention recreation.
Because of its many uses, the lake
is “up and down like a yo-yo,” Mc
Clain said.
She said data is being gathered to
demonstrate the fortunes of busi
nesses around the lake rise and fall
with wdter levels.

Lake levels rise when the gates are
closed to contain its waters from
rain-swollen tributaries. The level
drops during the hot summer
months, when evaporation is cou
pled with a peak demand for power
and municipal water.
While business operators around
the lake acknowledge nothing can be
done about the rising water levels,
they think something could and
should be done about the drop.
Doyle Davis, president of the Lake
Texoma Association, believes what
he calls the “senseless drain-off’of
the lake for power generation canbt
curtailed.
He wants Congress to establish
612 feet as the bottom line for pown
generation. Under the current st
tup, the lake may be drawn down to
590 feet above sea level for power
generation and water supply.
Steve Cone of the Corps of Engv
neers’ office in Tulsa said previous
Corps studies have failed to sho*
that fluctuations of the lake level ad
versely affect lake attendance.
Ex-wife writes of life

NEW YORK — Priscilla Pres
ley has broken a long silence on
her 14 years with Elvis Presley,
saying he “molded me into his
woman” after they met.
Miss Presley was a 14-year-old
ninth-grader when she met Pres
ley, already a teen-age heartth-
rob, in Wiesbaden, West Ger
many, in 1959. Presley was a 24-
year-old Army recruit.
“Something in his Southern
upbringing had taught him that
the ‘right’ girl was to be saved for
marriage,” Miss Presley writes in.
this week’s issue of People mag
azine. “I was that girl."
“At the same time, he was
molding me into his woman,"
Miss Presley, who plays Jenna
Wade on TV’s “Dallas" said. “I
wore the clothes, hairstyle and
makeup of his careful choosing."
The singer, who died in Au
gust 1977, was already taking the
amphetamine Dexenrine, Miss
Presley writes in excerpts from
her soon-to-be-published mem
oirs, “Elvis and Me.”
“He told me he’d begun taking
sleeping pills shortly before he'd
been drafted. He dreaded insom
nia.”
