'TREASURE FEVER'
Tales of Pieces-of-Eight
By Boy, 13, Start 'Rush'
San Francisco iu.J A couple of 13-year-olds apologized today
for causing such a fuss among the fishing folk of Penzance and
Falmouth, England. They said they were only daydreaming about
all that sunken treasure,
David Curtis and hia part
ner, Don Bibach, were as sur
prised as anone when the news
came from England that wild
excitement had gripped the
southwest coast of England.
Cornish fishermen were re
ported neglecting the bloater
and kipper crop to talk about an
American deep sea diver who
planned to recover a gold and
silver fortune that has lain on
the ocean bottom for centuries.
But the good people of Pen
zance and Falmouth didn't
know that the deep sea diver
was a 13-year-old boy with a
case of "treasure fever."
It was Dave who got the idea
f recovering the treasure.
In consultation, with Don, he
wrote a letter to the Falmouth
Chamber of Commerce. He ask

Will cost $20,000,000 to cancel
contracts for the navy's pro
posed super aircraft carrier.
Rep. James E. Van Zandt (R.,
Pa.), said today.
Van Zandt, a member o( the
House armed services commit
tee, told the House $7,500,000
already had been spent on the
carrier. Its eventual cost would
have been f 189.000.000.
"To terminate the contract
and all subcontracts, it will cost
the American taxpayer approxi
mately $20,000,000," he said.
He said this sum was "wasted'
when Defense Secretary Louis
Johnson "arbitrarily" scuttled
plans for the 6S. 000-ton ship.

Washington, April 30 din ,
John L. Lewis told southern
coal producers today that he is
willing to open negotiations for

News of the letter spread
quickly. Fishermen soon were

Every few years a gold or sil

of years washes up on the beach.
Scores of ships have been claim
ed by Mounts bay's jagged rocks
down through history. But no
major expedition to retrieve the
treasures has been attempted
since 1867.
The two boys, both eighth
grade students at San Francis
co's Presidio junior high school,
got the idea to write the letter
from a book called "I Dive for
Treasure." Dave confessed the
facts might have been stretched
just a Httle in the note to Eng

wanted action and if they knew
I was a kid they wouldn't have
sent me anything. We didn't
want to mislead anybody.'
Dave ran Into the bedroom
and came back waving a home
made map. "I copied it from
my book on diving," he said.
"It shows where the ships went
down in Mounts bay with all
that money."
The boys said they first be

letter when Dave received a
25-mlnu(e phone call from a
man In England, asking all
about his experiences, hobbies
"and everything."
"He said he was a reporter on
a paper in London. Mo mother
didn't believe it and checked
up. He was."
The two youths said they
thought people "were taking
this all wrong." They recalled
when they set out to "explore
the Amazon" a year or so ago
they didn't run into all this ex
citement. At the time, they sent
a letter to the Rio de Janiro
Chamber of Commerce.
"All we got," Dave said, "was
a few pamphlets and a pretty
good booklet."
Dave and Don said they gave
up exploration for deep-sea
diving when Dave's father. At
torney George Curtis, brought
home a friend who was a real
deep-tea diver.
"He once had the bends,"
Dave said.
