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.

ATLANTA (AF) ? Century-old
shipwrecks along Georgia's coast are \
safe for now and should not be \
plundered before they can be excavated
by archaeologists, according
to Lewis Larson, Georgia's state I
archaeologist. i
Three amateur archaeologists who ]
salvaged artifacts from the 120-year- j
old wreck of the ship Nashville in the ;
Ogeechee River have filed suit in t
federal court trying to overturn a ;
Georgia law preventing private salvors j
from diving on the wrecks. <
"If those wrecks are to be exploited, i
they should be exploited in a manner
which preserves all the information
they contain," Larson said in a I
telephone interview. ,
"THE FACT that it (a wreck) is
there, in many instances, means that i
it's not going anywhere. Leaving it
alone leaves it in pretty much of a state <
of equilibrium that it achieved a pretty i
short time after the wreck went ;
down." he said.
The time for professional salvage i
will come when the people are ready to <
pay the extensive costs of salvage and
preservation, he said. <
"Underwater excavation requires I
some very careful planning and proper i
funding," Larson said. "I think when <
there's a demand, a need, a ;

Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler has suggested

'illogical." "He doesn't understand

amateur divers, twin brothers Frank

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

"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. Tuition tax credits
would cost billions of dollars by 1985.
"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. But he says
it's a fact that many private schools are
segregated. "

the cost of buying a diving barge and
