SECOND SECTION Established 1873 ROSEBURG OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, Canada Planning Underwater Blast Of Passage Peaks OTTAWA Ufi Canada is plan ning to blast a pair of underwater peaks which have found the bot toms of 32 ships over the years, on the "inside passage" to Alaska. The Public Works Dpeatrmnet called for bids Wednesday for blasting the tops from Ripple Rock by an ingenious underwater tunnel approach. The rock, wnose twin peaks lie treacherously just below the surface, is about 100 miles north of Vancouver, B. C, between Vancouver Island and Maud Island. It may take one of history's greatest non-atomic underwater explosions to do the job. The Pub lic Works Ministry has estimated the cost might run to 2 V4 million dollars. The project calls for boring a 2,100-foot tunnel under the swirling waters of Seymour Narrows to the core of Ripple Rock, which is blamed for churning the passage into a maelstrom during all but brief periods of tidal changes. Sinking of five ships, with a loss of 114 lives, is charged to the un derwater peaks. . ' The specifications for the remo val project- call for sinking of a 500-foot vertical shaft at Maud Is land, tunneling under the Narrows and running 300-foot shafts upward into the rock. The plan was rec ommended by a National Research Council committee. Bids must be submitted by Sept. 28. A Works Department official said the exact method of setting off the blast and the quantity of explosives cannot be determined until the tunneling has been com pleted. It is expected to take more than a year. It may be as much as two years before the stupendous job of eliminating the peaks is completed. The aim will be to cut the peaks to a minimum of 40 feet below the surface. I Pali? h-J !' : -i , NIA Tttepkot I QUITE A FAMILY Maj.

Sgt. Callagher Predicted He Would Pay Penalty NEW YORK I A fellow pris oner has quoted Sgt, James C. Gallagher as saying he "would probably have to pay for what he did as a POW when he got back." During the court-martial trial of Gallagher yesterday, John N. Wil lis testified that Gallagher also told him in the Red POW camp the Korean conflict "was a sense less war that we had no busi ness being over there." The 24-year-old Gallagher is ac cused of aiding the Communists while their prisoner in 1951 and 1952 and of the "unpremeditated murder" of three Americans it the POW camp. Willis, from Lexington, N. C, said Gallagher once lauded com munism as "a better form of gov ernment than we hae" and, on another occasion told him: 'If you cooperate with the Chinese you get better chow and better living conditions."
