Ballard told associates at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institu tion on Tuesday that an unmanned submersible was doing only prelimi nary exploration of the ocean liner. The Titanic was the most luxu rious liner of its time and was thought to be unsinkable, but an ice berg cut a 300-foot gash in its side on its maiden voyage April 14, 1912. About 700 people escaped by life boat, but 1,513 others drowned. It is believed that items from the ship would letch high prices from collectors, but Ballard has said any attempt to salvage the wreck would be “silly.” He said it would desecrate a gravesite.

Police Chief Daryl Gates said po lice are reviewing all unsolved homi cides, burglaries, kidnappings and molestations since 1981 to deter mine any link to the recent six- month string of serial killings that have terrorized California. Investigators are “looking back on :hc all of our homicides that had strange circumstances,” Gates said. He refused to elaborate, but in vestigators have said that drawings of inverted five-pointed stars, a Sa tanic symbol known as a pentagram, were found at several crime scenes. Court documents filed by investi gators claim that Ramirez, 25, was obsessed with satanism and the pen tagram symbol.
