Texas Family Ends Ordeal On Beacon By CONARD CASLKR Reporter, The Corpus (hriitl Caller-Times Written for The Associated Press CORPUS C1IRISTI. Tex. 1AP1 Leslie Schmidl and his young family, marooned three days las! week on a liny beacon in the fiulf ol Mexico, lived to loll about it But Leslie. 23. wrote a pathetic little diary to let relatives know what happened to them. He "knew" he and his wile and three children would die there within Sight of the shore, he said Sunday. "We wrote the diary so that when they found our bones they'd know what happened." Schmidt laid at the hospital where he, his ins venture. wife. Sarah. 22. and the children Leslie Jr., 3. Linda Lee, 2. and Cheryl. 10 months are recover ing. Crewmen of a passing shrimp boat, the Carroll Ann. snatched the hungry, cold and sick family from the tiny navigation licht Sat urday afternoon. The Schmidts scrambled onto the light, just 7 miles from down town Corpus Chnsti. Wednesday after their 26-foot cabin cruiser broke up in heavy seas that lashed Corpus Chnsti Bay. Schmidt was returning to Port Aransas from Port Manslield after going there on an abortive commercial fish USAF Awaiting Arrival Of New Long-Range C130 PANAMA.

The Army would like to test out Is ahility to fly a whole battle group ol paratroopers 'about l.fM men i to Kurope and parachute tnem down directly into a mock battle. Maj. Hen. Robert F. Sink, head of the Strategic Army Command. was asked bv newsmen if there were any plans to make a Eu ropean test similar to the just con cluded exercise Banyan Tree, in which l.3im men were ifown from the United States and dropped into Panama, lie said "1 have had a letter in on that for the last year and a half" with Army headquar ters at the Pentagon. Sink and l.t. Gen. Ridgcly C.ai- ther. chief of the Combined Car ibbean Command, estimate it would take about 700 aircraft to airlift an entire airborne division of 12.000 men. This, the Army calculates, could be done with approximately son Ciatis and 2IK) C124s. The Air Korce does not have that many CI30s now. although suhMantial numbers of additional planes are on order Aside from the problem of in ducing the Air Force to build up its transport fleet, the Army is seeking to improve details of its airborne operations. One long rxislmg problem has been that of getting paratroopers out of parachute harness quickly Mrs. Schmidt tied sinking boat as her husband fast ened it to the beacon. They traded places and she took Linda Lee up 15 feet to the small platform atop the beacon. "I tied her there and went down for Cheryl Lynn." related Mrs. Schmidt. "By the time we got Les lie Jr. up top. the boat was gone and everything we owned, except a half can of milk and that can of baby food." "I said a prayer up every rung of that ladder." she recalled. Schmidt stepped clear of the cruiser with Leslie Jr., just as the boat went under. Then the long vigil, the pray ers, and the frustration began. Every morning an oil crew boat passed with 100 yards, the couple said. "They never saw us al though we yelled at them." Schmidt said. I prayed all the time." Mrs. Schmidt added, "and God must have been with us. He saved us." She fashioned a spoon from a splinter broken from the beacon platform and doled the baby food, spoonful by spoonful, to the older children. Cheryl had sole rights to to the can of evaporated milk. The parents took only water. By late Thursday or early Friday neither remembered exactly the food was gone. "The thing that got us so much was that we could see cars and city lights," Mrs. Schmidt said. While the Schmidts waited vain ly, coast Guard airmen were searching constantly for them. A Navy helicopter joined the search for two days. Then came the unidentified cap tain and his shrimp boat crew. "I want to go inland as far as possible." Mrs. Schmidt says. "I don't ever want to get on a boat again." I Cepitol Hiir Again Cries At Nepotism WASHINGTON (API As It res a!met every year, nepotism Saturday attracted a spotlight on Capitol Hill.

U.S. Airman Races Time ABKRDKEN, Scotland AP A U.S. airman sailed the North Sea by fishing smack today bound for the remote Karoe Islands in a race against time to get his bride-to-be to Iceland.
