DIVERS EXPLOREFLOOR OF GULF
By H. S. BONNEYInternational Relations Representative
Some 130 to 150 miles south-southeast of Bolivar Roads-anchorage for the great ships waiting to enter the Port ofHouston lies a series of coral reefs and salt domes whompinnacles rear sharply from the ocean floor to within 60 to 200feet of the surface.
In August several of these formations oll the edge of thecontinental shelf were the subject of exploration bv a massivelymounted oceanology expedition which involved a U.S. Navy-supplied destroyer and crew. the Houston Museum of NaturalSciences. the American Society of t~ceanography Mollusc Sur-vey. Naval reservists, newsmen, support personnel, and some10 SCLBA divers whose probes from 85-185 feet to the sea
Commander Jack C. Kittrell, captain of the vessel used or the oceano-logical expedition, the destroyer USS HAYNSWORTH, leans over the bridgerailing as he maneuvers the 377-foot long vessel in efforts to locate one ofthe "postage-stamp-sized" diving locations 150 miles in the Gulf. Also on thebridge are several of the ship’s officers, a communications crew member andHarold Gels, second from right, organizer and director of the expedition.
Gathered on an upper deck, divers and expedition officials discuss theday’s diving events. Rear Admiral C. H. "Chip" Taylor, center right withhand raised, has an audience which includes Dr. T. E. Pulley, extreme leftwith back to camera, director of the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences.
Divers and support personnel gathered for instructions before each divearound the decompression chamber, a device that is used if a case of thepainful, damaging or fatal bends is encountered. The only time the chamberwas activated was to check the accuracy of divers’ depth gauges.
tloor were to rcsuh in eollecting a weahh of organic and in-organic specimens. These will be used in a scientific analysisand study of an area which many scientists helieve to havebeen islands or hills cons ago when tile ocean depths weremuch shallower.
The 377-foot destroyer USS HAYNSWORTH, captainedhy Commander Jack C. Kittrell and stationed on PelicanIsland at Galveston, was the floating platform from which thedivers--mostlv from Metropolitan Houston and Galveston butalso from ali over the Southwest--launched their searchmission.
Beneficiary of the expedition’s findings was the HoustonMuseum of Natural Sciences, whose new quarters at Houston’sHermann Park Planetarium, to be open the first of 1970, willbe the permanent repository for the thousands of itemsbrought up from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico. On boardto watch over the diving operations and over~e the handlingof the specimens was Dr. T. E. Pulley, director of the museum.
Organizer and heading up the expedition was Harold Geis,affiliate of the Mollusc Society whose personnel are being en-trusted with the study of the ocean-retrieved rocks, sponges,molluscs and other ocean animals.
Divemaster for the four-day operation was Jack L. Rudder
of Clear Lake, Texas, and medical officer in charge of safctywas Naval Captain E. L. Beckman of NASA. Instrumental insecuring the HAYNSWORTH for the scientific trip was Re-serve Rear Admiral C. H. "Chip" Taylor of Houston, who alsodoubled in brass as one of the divers.
Squatting on the upper deck of the navy-gray vessel was along, sleek recompression chamber, a grim remi]ldcr to diverswho gathered around it for hriefings prior to each diw’ thatany breach of strict safety rules could well result in heing apatient within the white steel cylinder with an agonizing--orfatal--case of the bends.
Not all was serious, however. Following each day’s dive,fishing competitions were held, with both Naval and civilianpersonnel taking part. Many of the "victims" of this fishingforay were the lazy-swimming harracuda who, during thediving day, lurked under the ship or curiously dogged thedivers to the sea bottom, but the largest catch was a 29-poundamberjack hauled in by diver Dana Larson of Houston.
A note of interest to those who believe that diving is forthe very young was sounded hy one veteran diver who notedthat the age-range for the expedition varied from the late’teens up into the sew’nties, with the majority heing in theirthirties and forties.
The destroyer, USS HAYNSWORTH, floats at her Pelican Island dock,just prior to leaving on the four-day oceanological trip that netted Houstonscientists thousands of items for study from coral reefs and salt domes that
rise to 60-200 feet from the surface on the edge of the continental shelffar out into the Gulf of Mexico.
CONSULAR CORPS CHANGES RECORDEDIsrael
Houston’s new Israeli consul general,Benjamin Bonney, replaces Yaacov Hesswho has been transferred to Israel’sForeign Office in Jerusalem after threeyears here.
Consul General Bonney brings withhim a diverse background centered inthe Ministry of Foreign Affairs andAviation. An immigrant to Palestine atthe age of 17 in 1934, he later receiveda degree in Humanities from the Uni-versity of Tours, France, and a degree inlaw from the Jerusalem School of Law.
In 1940 he enlisted in Britain’s RoyalAir Force where he saw action as a pilot
Benjamin Bonney
in Nort’h Africa and Italy. After his dis-charge ill 1946, he became active inIsrael’s embryo air force.
The new consul general, whose Hous-ton-based office embraces Texas, Okla-homa and Louisiana, relates how thoseearly days of the Israeli efforts to getinto tile air resulted in all "air force" oflight, liaison-type aircraft, 12 of whichwere trot together from a junk heapl>ought from t’he British who in thosedays occupied Israel as a protectivemandate.
The lsraelis, under the watchful eyeof the British military, were allowedonly three such planes at the same time,Bonney reminisced, but by painting thesame identification number on all tilecraft they were able to fly them all, oftenresulting in sightings of the "same"plane almost simultaneously all over filecountry.
In 1948, Bonney, serving as airattadhe in London, bought Israel’s first
10
jets and took them to his homelandwhere he was to command several of thenewly established airbases. He was alsoinstrumental in the establishment of theMilitary Academy of Israel (1953).
With the rank of colonel, he left mili-tary aviation in 1956 to become directorof Israel’s Lydda Airport. In 1962 hewas named deputy director of CivilAviation and in 1963 he was appointeddeputy director of the Department ofInternational Cooperation, Ministry ofForeign Affairs, an assignment dealingwith help to underdeveloped countries.
From 1965 until his Houston assign-ment he served as Press Counselor attile Israeli Embassy iLL Rome.
Married, Consul General Bonney andhis wife, Sara, have a 10-year-old son,Moddy Daniel.
The Israeli Consulate General is at230 World Trade Building.
NicaraguaThe grandson and nephew of two
former presidents is Houston’s new con-sul general from Nicaragua.
He is Antonio Refiazco, a graduate oftile Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy where he received his bachelor ofscience in electrical engineering. Healso holds another bachelor of sciencedegree in mechanical engineering fromBuffalo University in New York.
His ties with fhe United States alsoincludes his marriage in 1968 to anative Floridian who, along with theirfour-month-old son, Marco Antonio, ar-rived with the Refiazcos iLL Houston inJuly.
Refiazco’s grandfather, President JoseSantos Zelaya, served in Nicaragua’shighest position for 17 years at the turnof the century. His uncle, Ren6 Schic’h,was elected president in 1963, where heserved until his death in 1966.
The young and affable consul generalbegan his consular and ambassadorialwork in 1959 when, upon completion ofhis education, he worked as head of aVenezuelan company’s air conditioningdepartment and at the same time at-tended Diplomat’s School in Caracas.By 1961 he had joined Nicaragua’sDiplomatic Service and served as com-mercial attache at the Nicaraguan Em-bassy in Caracas until 1963.
From 1963 to 1965 Refiazco receivedpromotions to counsellor and ministercounsellor, both at tile Caracas Embassy.The next four years, 1965-196% he spentas Nicaragua’s consul general in NewOrleans where he met and marricd hiswife.
Refiazco points out that he selectedthe Houston post from a number of po-sions open to him. His choice hasproved itself so well, he says, that hehas already bought a home here, some-thing which he had never done beforeat any ot’her post.
Refiazco hopes to improve trade andcultural relations, between Nicaraguaand tile United States. Nicaragua’s na-tional steamship company, MamenicLine, has two ships calling monthly atthe Port of Houston and the Port hasenjoyed a growing trade over this routefor several years.

Stafford says he hopes that he will beable to find more opportunities for en-hancing trade between his mother coun-
It is not only in the field of oil ex-ploration that the new consul sees in-creased Peruvian trade for Houston, butalso in the imports of products of Peru’sfishing industry. "There ’has been asteadily increasing trade in fish mealfrom Peru to Houston over recentyears", he says, " but we are not com-manding a greater share of the packagedfish industry and I predict increasedimports of frozen fish products for con-sumer tables."
Consul Bonifaz is a native of Limaand received his secondary education atthe La Salle College there before study-ing law at the Catholic University ofLima and, later, at the famed Univer-sity of San Marcos, oldest university inthe Western Hemisphere.

$65 MILLION SPENT TO MAKE
HOUSTON ’THE MODERN PORT’More than $65 million has been spent in dock and transit-
shed huilding as ~,ell as in other construction at tile Port ofHouston in the last thirteen years and work now nears com-pletion on shcdded wharves 30 and 31 and a million cubicfoot of shipsidc warehouse immediately behind.
Another $5 million has been voted by the Port Commis-sioners for the next round of improvements, which will in-dude a storage warehouse, purchase of another containercrane, improvements of the Industrial Park and repairs toWharf 9. as well as the purchase of additional real estate.
Thc Navigation l)istrict is nearly out of ground in thearea ahmg the northsi(h’ o[ the Ship Channel below theTurning Basin where thirteen xs, harves and two storagewarehotlses have ah’cadv been completed. The llew wharxes~ill bring that number to t’iftecn and new storage ware-houses to Ihree befm’e w, ar’s end. There ha~c also been
a host of other improvements over t’his period both at thedocks and in other areas of the Port’s domain under the $65million plus program.
It was back in early 1957 that Port of Houston officialsinitiated this long-range buihling program to keep the Portcompetitive in a growing era of fast-changing concepts intransportation and cargo management. Thus, it has been notonly docks, s’heds and storage warehouses, but also roads.trackage, a hulk handling plant, a World Trade Buihting.renovation of old wharves and an ~’xl)anded grain elevatorthat haxe come under the program.
Soon Wharves 30 and 31 will open to (l{’{{})IS[’~.[ Sel"~ice andhard by Wharf 31 a mighty $13 million high-rise bridge isnow under conslruclion---thc first mer the Ship Channel Iobring the Port into direct connection with Intcrslate 10 andthe 610 Loop nct~.ork around the City.

This huge expanse of concrete is the floor for Wharves 30 and 31. Center support columns are on the left.
Marginal tracks are secured in place along the apron of Wharves 30 and31. A ship is tied up at new Wharf 29.
Space for one more wharf lies below Wharf 31 on the otherside of the bridge, but after that the Navigation District willhave to look downstream to some of its property for the con-struction of new wharves.
However, there are also plans for rebuilding or modernizingmany existing older wharves and a container marshallingyard is already under construction to serve Open Wharves 26and 29, so that there will be no slow-up in total improvementactivity at the nation’s third largest port, in point of ton-nage handled.
Following is a rundown on some facts about the Port of
18
Houston, its facilities and its plans as it moves into the lastmonths of 1969:
FACT: In 1956 the Navigation District ’had only 16wharves as opposed to 18 owned by private terminals. Todayit has 29 in operation, with two more to open by the end ofthe year.
FACT: The entire Port of Houston complex, includingprivate terminals for public hire, and grain, oil, chemical andother companies stretching from Galveston Bay to the Turn-ing Basin at the head of deepsea navigation, has more t’han100 wharves in operation.
FACT: Gross revenue from Port of Houston operationshas more than doubled in this 13-year period . . . with increas-ing end-of-the-year net revenues being plowed back into ex-pansion activities.
FACT: The Port of Houston complex, public and private,has more than 25 million bushels of grain storage capacity.
FACT: The Port’s three present off-dock storage ware-houses and another under construction will afford exportersand importers more than seven million cubic feet of long-term storage space by the end of 1969.
FACT: Nineteen transit sheds, and two more being com-pleted, boast additional short-term storage space of almost37 million cubic feet.
FACT: The Port of Houston is the oldest container portin the country, initiating this service in 1956 and continuingit ever since. A 16-acre container marshalling yard is beingconstructed now at a first-phase cost of approximately $1million.
FACT: The Port’s 1968 record foreign trade tonnage of17.7 million tons, a 28.7 percent increase, continues at thesame dramatic tempo in 1969 despite the crippling long-shoremen’s strike earlier in the year.

Heavy equipment is being used to push construction of an approach road for the high bridge on the north side of the Ship Channel.
FACT: Houston’s--and Texas’--largest industrial com-plex located downstream from the Port of Houston on theHouston Ship Channel, continues to expand with the Port andis conservatively valued in excess of $3 billion.
FACT: The Port’s Bulk Materials Handling Plant atGreen’s Bayou on the Houston Ship Channel has a loading,/unloading capacity of 1,000 long tons per hour, with berthsfor two s’hips.
FACT: The Navigation District’s $3.5 million, ll-storyWorld Trade Building built in 1962 in downtown Houstonhas brought together international elements, shippers, for-warders, consular representatives and maritime-related busi.nesses and industries for an increased efficiency and stimu-lation of international trade.
FACT: The great diversity of the Port’s barge, locomotive,gantry and mobile cranes, along with its other freight han-dling equipment, lends itself easily to the handling of any typeof load or containers.
FACT: The Port railroad yard facilities, serviced by sixseparate railroad companies, have a capacity of 18,560 carsand last year set a national record in railroad car unloadingof 81,315, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
Although the Port’s main property now has room for onlyone more wharf, Navigation District Commissioners and offi-dais have continued planning far into the future with theacquirement of other properties further downstream. Thisland has been the basis for sets of flexible, alternative planst’hat should be able to cope with the ever-changing conceptsand requirements of a rapidly moving maritime transporta-tion system.
Almost five years ago the Port also acquired the eightwharves and accompanying transit sheds, warehouses andfacilities of Long Reach Docks of Gulf Atlantic WarehouseCorporation on the south side of the Ship Channel. A five-

year lease-back made then to Gulf Atlantic expires in 1970.But wharves alone, Port officials have realized, are not the
sole answer to a modern and forward-looking port. Equip-ment is kept up-to-date and facilities, such as the Grain Eleva-tor, Bulk Handling Plant, World Trade Building, computer-ized invoicing, the Inspection Vessel SAM HOUSTON, thecontainer marshalling yard now under construction, the greatacreage at the Port for industrial leasing, long-term warehousestorage, and many more services, all help to keep the cargocoming and going.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION HearingExaminer Robert C. Bamford has issued aReport and Recommended Order in I&S Docket8454, covering reduced export rates onsoybeans from points in the Midwest toChicago and Gulf ports other than CorpusChristi and Freeport in which the assailedrates were found to be just and reasonableand not in violation of outstanding ordersof the Commission or otherwise unlawful.The reduced rates were originally publishedby the Rock Island Railroad under inde-pendent action in CRI&P Tariffs 33250-Qand 35727-I, scheduled to become effectiveDecember 14, 1968, but were suspended bythe I.C.C. The Commission lifted itssuspension order effective March 5, 1969,but continued its investigation as towhether or not the rates were in violationof the Commission’s outstanding orders inthe Corpus Christi grain cases. TheHouston Port Bureau and others participatedin the defense of the matter leading tothe above findings and dismissal of theprotestant’s petition. This will greatlyimprove the port’s competitive positionand permit us to recapture traffic lost totruck, barge or combined truck-barge com-petition via the Mississippi River. Thenew reduced rates apply from the Southwestand Midwest soybean producing areas on theRock Island Railroad and are at the samelevel as those rates published and usedsuccessfully on corn last year on singlecar shipments moving direct from origin tothe port or on shipments accorded transitprivileges, in multi-car lots subject toan aggregate minimum of 1,000 net tons.
THE RAIL EXECUTIVES Association,Eastern Railroads, Western RailroadTraffic Association, Illinois FreightAssociation and Southern Freight Associa-tion held a joint interterritorial meetingin Atlanta, Georgia in July to considertheir so-called 21 GUN SALUTE propositioncalculated to increase carriers’ revenuessome $60 million per year. The 21 separateproposals were the subject of a long andhotly disputed public hearing in St. Louison June 9 and the chief traffic officersof the rail lines, at the July meetingarrived at the following disposition ofthe various proposals: two were approvedas docketed; twelve were approved as
amended; two were withdrawn; and five werecontinued on the docket for furtherconsideration. Among those subs. affectingforeign traffic: Sub. No. 14 was approved,which would amend tariffs applicablethroughout Docket 28300 territory to pro-vide for non-application of domestic rateswhen there is a specific import or exportrate applicable between the same pointswhether by the same route or not; Sub.No. 21 was also approved, after amendment,to provide an additional 4# per cwt.mandatory additive on water-borne traffichandled through U.S. North Atlantic,Canadian and Pacific Coast ports on rail,also on container-on-flatcar and trailer-on-flatcar service when the existing man-datory additives are applicable.
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSIONHearing Examiner William J. Sweeney hasissued a Report and Order in I.C.C. Docket34894, Canaveral Port Authority, Et. A1.vs. The Ahnapee and Western RailwayCompany, Et A1., which recommends dismissalof the complaint. This case covered anallegation by certain South Florida portsincluding Miami, Palm Beach, Port Canav-eral and Port Pierce, Florida, that import-export rail rates to and from an arearoughly described as East of the RockyMountains on the one hand and certainAtlantic and Gulf ports (including the Portof Houston) on the other, were undulyprejudicial of the complaining ports andunduly preferential of those otherAtlantic and Gulf ports. The complainingSouth Florida ports were seeking completeequalization of all import-export rates.The Examiner ruled that the complainantshad failed to show that transportationcharacteristics, circumstances and condi-tions between the Southeast Florida portsand competing ports were similar as todistances to the ports, carriers costs tothe ports, existence of barge and motorcompetition and that such dissimilaritieswere substantial enough to warrant theassailed higher rates to the complainingports. The finding shows the complainantsfailed to sustain the alleged preferenceand prejudice and therefore the complaintstands dismissed. The Houston Port Bureauwill continue to contest the complaint toits final determination.
