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.

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."
