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.

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.

tale Wednesday, and it al
most landed him in jail.
Castle walked into Hie

Wednesday morning, and told
police his driver's license had

a man who represented him

When confronted with this

to police the whole story was
