Hollings criticiz (AP) ? A newspaper published by I Charleston's Roman Catholic diocese a has criticized Sen. Ernest Hollings for F his nart in defeating tuition tax credit S legislation. e John Conick, editor of The Catholic \ Banner, has called the Democratic s presidential candidate "almost fanatical" in his opposition, and c charges that informational materials r Hollings supplied the newspaper are i biased. c The U.S. Senate, led by the South e Carolina senator, rejected pleas from President Ronald Reagan and killed a ? tuition tac credit bill Nov. 16. Hollings s called the bill, which would provide s tax credits of children in private schools, "a ripoff for the rich." t A 1982 report that Hollings cited on d the effect of tuition tax credits on ur- ii ban schools was written by "biased p participants in the national debate," b Conick said.

According to The Banner, advocates )f tuition tax credits "recognize the leed for public shoois and are not callng for their demise. What is being luestion is the quality of the public iducation now and in the past." Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler has suggested that Hollings visit diocesan chools, and has called Hollings' tatements "broadsided" and 'illogical." "He doesn't understand he system," Unterkoefler said.

THE SUBJECT of the lawsuit, the Nashville, was a Confederate blockade unner, sank by the Yankee ironclad viantauk during the Civil War. Three amateur divers, twin brothers Frank and Paul Chance of Richmond Hill, 3a., and David Topper of Fairfax, 5.C., had been working on the wreck, in the Ogeeche River, for 4 1/2 years when they were ordered to stop and turn over what they'd found. "We're hoping the Georgia statute will be declared unconstitutional because it conflicts with federal maritime law," which allows salvors to take what they find, said Harold Yellin of Savannah, attorney for the three.

"What 1 am opposed to is the use of public funds to support private schools," Hollings said. "The government's duty to the private schools is to leave them alone.

"ONCE THE idea is established, supporters of tuition tax credits admit they mean to increase the maximum credit and raise the income limitations. "Back when 1 was governor, we had segregated schools. We had segregated cafeterias, segregated buses, even segregated waiting rooms. The Catholic Church taught, even back then, that this was wrong. The Church was right on this long before many. And 1 have long respected the Catholic Church for this courageous stand. Hollings said he knows that Catholic schools are not segregated.

"If something is worth preserving, we do everything possible, even then you have only a 50-50 chance of saving it."
