THE JACKSON SUN, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1968 Sunken Civil War Ironclad Might Have Been Found 1 960, Alexander. Julia; Anderson, Patty MOflCE (Picture on Page 1) NORFOLK, Va. (AP) While the proud and mighty battleship New Jersey steams through the Pacific, the antecedent of all battleships rests at the bottom of the ocean just off Cape Hat-teras, N.C. But if a group of men, working in secrecy since last April meet with success, that tiny ship, the USS Monitor, will be found, raised, and exhibited to the public. The 127-foot "cheesebox on a SCLC Convention To Be find the Union ironclad in 1955 while diving in about 50 feet of water a mile offshore, but said he could not locate the ship on subsequent div Robert F.

Marx, a professional treasure-diver, claimed to find the Union ironclad in 1955 while diving in about 50 feet of water a mile offshore, but said he could not locate the ship on subsequent dives due to shifting of the sandy ocean bottom. The group now exploring off Hatteras is a partnership between the state of North Carolina, which claims ownership under a 1967 law, and the North Carolina Tidewater Services, a salvage company. Samuel P. Townsend, supervisor of underwater archaeology for North Carolina's State Department of Archives and History, has granted an exclusive permit to the company, under provisions of the new law, to explore for wrecks in a nine-square-mile area directly offshore and to the northeast of Hatteras point. Many of the wrecks in the area are probably buried under shifting sand, said Robert L.

Simmons, 50, a company director. The water runs to a depth of about 40 feet there. To locate wrecks, the underwater explorers are using a differential proton magnometer, which is designed to produce outlines of buried metal hulls. The instruments show one outline of 160 to 180 feet by 45 to 50 feet. The monitor measured 172 by 41 feet.

Though Simmons denies that the object of his search is the Monitor, everyone else connected with the project contradicts him. Marx said Simmons had written him that he was "positive" that the instrument find was the ironclad, and that it was at the location Marx had previously reported. Rear Adm. E. M.

Eller, director of naval history, said the Navy was not interested in the vessel and would not claim her if raised. Townsend indicated he would probably try to keep the ship in North Carolina hands by paying the company 75 per cent of the vessel's worth under the 1967 law. No one, however, has any idea how much the Monitor would be worth if raised in good a seaworthy vessel. In the night of Dec. 30, 1862, she foundered in one of the frequent storms off Cape Hatteras "graveyard of the Atlantic" and sank with the loss of 4 officers and 12 men out of her crew of 63.

The location of the "tin can on a shingle" has been a mystery ever since. Accounts of her sinking place her location from 1 to 25 miles offshore. Robert F. Marx, a professional treasure-diver, claimed to In Memphis plans for its future activities during the sessions, which open Wednesday. But the underlying theme of every action will be the memory of King.

A number of the delegates will be housed in the Lorraine Motel, and King will be presented posthumously the Rosa Parks Award Thursday night. It was the action of Mrs. Rosa Parks in refusing to move to the back of a bus that touched off the Montgomery, bus boycott which propelled King into national prominence. IC Is Expected To Make Offer NASHVILLE (AP) The Illinois Central Railroad is expected to make another offer for the entire line of the bankrupt Tennessee Central Railway Tuesday. An IC spokesman said over the weekend that the offer would be presented to U.S.

Dist. Court Judge William E. Miller here. The Louisville Nashville Railroad had been the only bidder for the entire TC line until the IC made a last minute bid two weeks ago. Officials of the Illinois Central now say they expect to make "every effort" to make an acceptable offer.

The statement came after IC representatives visited Tennessee last week to examine TC property and equipment. Judge Miller ordered Trustee A. Battle Rodes to negotiate with the IC when he said failure to resolve some labor issues made it unlikely then deal would be concluded. $53, 1960, Hobson, Maggie: Honey, Fan-! nie. Memphis.

Bill Cosby of the "I Spy" television series will be the toastmaster at the Thursday night banquet where Mrs.

Coret-ta King, widow of the assassinated SCLC leader, will speak on progress of the Negro movement. Others expected include actor Sidney Portier and singer Aretha Franklin. Robert Culp, the white actor who starred with Cosby in the TV series, also is expected to attend. The SCLC says it holds its annual conventions in the city where it was most deeply involved during the preceding year. It was in Memphis that King was killed by an assassin's bullet.

He had come here to help the city's striking garbage collectors, 98 per cent of them Negro. James Earl Ray, the man charged with murder in the slaying, is now housed in the Shelby County jail, about two miles from the Lorraine Motel, the scene of the assassination. Memphis was the springboard for the SCLC's jump from purely civil rights activities to work in the economic field. King and other SCLC officials had been making plans for the Resurrection City campaign in Washington just before King was shot. The Rev.

Ralph Abernathy, the man who took over at King's death, is expected to be reelected SCLC president. "Dr. Abernathy is the only man that can handle the job," Hosea Williams, a top SCLC aide, said Sunday. "I think SCLC would die without him." Abernathy is to deliver the convention's keynote address Friday night from the podium at Mason Temple. It was there King spoke publicly for the last time, the night of April 3.

About 21 hours later he was killed. Dissension over the garbage strike, a riot that broke out when King attempted to lead a march here March 28, Kings death and resulting outbreaks of violence have produced ill feeling between whites and Ne groes here. Police have promised protection for SCLC leaders, and the SCLC, in turn, has promised to deal quickly and forcefully with any disruptions among its members.

BAKER'S DRUG STORE MEMPHIS (AP) Negro politicians and entertainers will join the rank and file workers at the 11th annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference here this week. Mayors Carl Stokes of Cleveland and Richard Hatcher of Gary, the only Negro mayors of major American cities, have advised SCLC officials they expect to be present.

Hatcher is scheduled to speak Dr. Boone Resigns From Church Pos! Dr. W. C. Boone, pastor of the Woodland Baptist Church, Sunday announced his resignation to the congregation.

He had been pastor of one of the city's newest Baptist churches since its organization in January 1965 until illness forced him to leave the pulpit in mid-March of this year. While his health is greatly improved, Dr. Boone said he would not resume the duties of a full-time pastor. A native of Kentucky, Dr. Boone was reared in Memphis and come to Jackson from the presidency of Oklahoma Baptist University in 1932 to assume the duties of pastor of the First Baptist Church.

He served in that position until 1940, when he moved to Louisville, to serve as pastor of the Crescent Hill Baptist Church. Following this he served as executive secretary of the Kentucky Baptist Convention for 16 years. Reaching the age of automatic retirement in that position, he returned to Jackson to make his home. Upon his return, Dr. Boone served as supply preacher and interim pastor for several area churches and was executive director for three years of the Jackson-Madison County United Fund.

The Woodland Baptist Church was organized "not as a mission," but as an independent Baptist "Fellowship" to meet the needs of a church of that denomination in the new and fast growing area of Northwest Jackson. The church has enjoyed steady growth and now has more than 200 members, and is located on Wallace Road and Shady Lane. In accepting his resignation the church voted to make Dr. Boone their "pastor emeritus." Dr. and Mrs.

Boone will con tinue to hold membership in the civ ch. He is a past president and member of the Jackson Rotary Club. Dr. and Mrs. Boone make their home at 307 Morningside Dr.
