Nuclear Blasts in Mining Studied Mexico City (Science Serv ice) - Nuclear explosions may be used to mine sulfur in tne Gulf of Mexico, the joint meeting here of the American Institute of Chemical Engi neers and the Instituto Mexi cano de Ingenieros Quimicos was told. John M. Dales and Roger C. DeHart of the Southwest Research Institute in San An tonio, Texas, said nuclear min ing would be cheaper than methods currently in use. The sulfur could be melted by heal from a small nuclear de vice and then forced up a bore-hole by hot water. The engineers expect new deposits of sulfur will be dis covered under the Gulf of Mexico. They say studies are now being made for recovery of the sulfur by nuclear ex plosions. Mr. Dale and Mr. DeHart (aid that, although the explo sion would be entirely con tained underground and quite safe, the greatest obstacle to its use would be the lack of understanding on the part of the public.

SAFETY ASSURED-Four-year-old Bruce Patterson is already a good swimmer but he poses here much in the manner that is dangerous for youngsters throughout the country who have access to swimming pools but cannot swim. Bruce's parents don't worry for they employ a "Transista," a de vice which will sound an alarm audible for 500 feet should any object heavier than 10 pounds falls into the pool. The "Transista," foreground, is transistor powered, perfectly safe and can be turned off when the pool is not in use. (UPI Telephoto) failed to reach any agreement a. Rnhi. smiito on how to de velop the upper Columbia for joint benefits in power and flood control. Negotiations have not brok en down. Another meeting has been scheduled for late July. But Canadian officials report edly have required more time for internal discussions, per haps to prepare some new proposals. Chief stumbling block is re ported to be disagreement over the sequence in which the various proposed dams would be built under a bind ing international treaty. Canada is understood to be pushing for agreement that would permit her to build two major projects - Mica Creek and Arrow Lakes dams - plus a minor project or two - Mur phy Creek or Duncan Lakes dams - before the U.S. went ahead with construction of Libby dam on the Kootenay river in western Montana. Reject Proposal American officials have re jected this proposal. They have pointed out that unless Libby is built-or some major ahead of Libby, they would have to be credited with the bulk of downstream benefits in terms of power and flood control that would be attrib utable to upstream storage dams. It would not then be feasible to build Libby dam as the fourth upstream stor age project added to the sys tem, officials maintain. Libby dam, authorized by Congress in 1950, triggered off this whole upper Colum bia controversy. While the dam lies in the U.S., its reser voir would extend into Cana- months of Ida, thus that nation's consent closed - door to build it is required. talks nave General Principles Negotiations of recent months have been an effort to implement a set of general principles concluded in De cember, 1959. by the Interna tional Joint Commission after its study of the Libby case The principles call for the en tire upper Columbia to be de veloped by mutual agreement with sharing of costs and benefits from all these inter related projects. One principle calls for the U.S. to split 50-50 with Cana da all the extra power gen erated in American dams be cause of the beneficial stor age in Canadian reservoirs. Another principle calls for the U.S. to pay Canada in cash for flood prevention attribu table to these new storage dams. One disagreement in tin present negotiations was caus ed by Canadian assumption that her share of the power would be delivered to the border free. American offi cials insist Canada will pay the standard wheeling charge to the point of delivery. . Another Disagreement Another disagreement thai is apparent concerns flood value of flood control to the U.S. would come to $3 million annually. Capitalized over 50 years, this would amount to S50 to $75 million that the U.S. would owe Canada, de pending on the rate of inter est employed. The amount of energy to be derived from the Canadian proposal would come to about 2.8 million kilowatts of firm power, it has been estimated, half of which would be re tained in the Pacific North west and half relumed to Canada. While costs arc difficult lo calculate, officials here think this will be the cheapest en ergy attainable in the near should be relatively cheap power is that the dams through which this Canadian stored water will pass alreidy are equipped with extra gen erators in anticipation of new upstream storage dams being built somewhere sometime. One informed estimate is that up lo 3 million kilowatts of generating capacity is avail able lo take advantage of any new upstream storage and convert it into firm power. In other words, the U.S. future. One reason that it would not immediately have to start adding more genera tors, including a projected third powerhouse at Grand Coulee, even though these ad ditions would in later years prove necessary lo take full advantage of complete up stream development of the mighty Columbia. Marian David Castle, 43. Phoenix, told his boss a tall tale Wednesday, and it al most landed him in jail. Castle walked into Hie Medford city police station Wednesday morning, and told police his driver's license had been taken away from him by a man who represented him self as a policeman. Castle said the impersona tor, who was in uniform and driving a dark colored car had pulled the car Castle was alternative to Libby on the benefit payments. Writing to the editor of the Journal of the American Medical association, Dr. Jer ome F. Strauss Jr. said that four patients have come lo him in the past six months with ailments related to sports Canadian cars and small sedans. $21 Million Shown In U.S. Deposits The U.S. National Bank of Portland reported deposits to totaling $779,384,873 in its June 15 report to the comp troller of the currency. The Medford branch show ed deposits of $21, 162,964.20, according to Allan F. Perry, manager. Total loans and discounts for U.S. National's statewide system were $408,572,538 as of June 15, with the local branch reporting $11,458, 199.17. Total resources for the 73 banking offices were $875, 522.126. U.S. National has opened three new branches during the past year, and has com pleted new buildings for two other branches.

Castle said , the man then took his license I and drove off. City police made a routine check on Castle's driver's license status with the depart ment of motor vehicles in saiem. liie depar mcnt in formed police that Castle's license had been suspended on June 14 because of an un insured accident. When confronted with this Information, Castle admitted to police the whole story was a hoax. He explained that he had told the tale to his boss to cover up the fact that his license had been suspended. His boss apparently be lieved him all right, in fact, he believed it so much that he insisted Castle report the incident to police. That was his downfall. Police warned Castle of the seriousness of filing a false crime report and released him. the police report did not, say whether Castle still had his job or not.
