Hopes To

Sept New Diving Record Off California Today

SMUGGLEi-FS COVE, CaliL, A113. 12—A Boston marine scien- list may dive deeper into the black depths of the ocean tomor- row than man has ever gone be- fore.

Otis Barton, 48, Harvard-train- ed engineer, hopes to descend 6,- 000 feet in a cast-steel ball, called a benthoscope, dangling from a steel cable. At that depth water pressure Would be 27,000,000 pounds on the benthosphcre.

Burton and Dr. William Beebe 0f the New York Zoological S0- ciety already hold the world's deep-diving record, 3.028 feet in a bhthysphere off Bermuda in 1934. Burton hopes to nearly double that depth tomorrow.

Vessels of the little fleet en- gnucd in the project gathered to- night at this cove on Santa Cruz Island, 25 miles south of Santa Barbara. Early tomorrow they'll but out to the spot in the Santa Cruz basin where the deepest water was found by electric fs- thnmeters.

Burton can sit or kneel in the sphere, 5'7 1-2 inches in diameter. It weighs 7,000 pounds and ifs steel shell is 1 3-4 inches thick at its thinnest point. It is designed to withstand pressures down to 10.000 feet,

Its steel door is 15 inches in diameter. One fused quartz win- dow, three inches thick and 5 3-4 straight ahead. Another, 2 3-4 inches across, looks straight down.

Two outside lights will illumin- ate the ocean depths. A motion picture camera shoots through the forward window. Telephone and power lines are ettachedmtq, the main cable. "

Barton will have constant tele- phone communication with the surface. He'll have a cylinder of oxygen. sufficient for him to stay down six hours. Carbon dioxide expelled from his lungs will be absorbed by screens of soda iimn.

The sphere has been tested at 2.000 feet, and Barton has been down in it 500 feet.

The Provincial D l! Industry and Natural Resources announced yesterday that through the co-opcraticn of the Canadian National Railways. the Bundfll’ trips of the carferry at Borden- Tormentine, due to be cancelled on ssptember 4th and September 11th, had been extended ic the end of October. This means that the Sunday trips from Borden at i).l0-a.m. and 1.00 p.m. will con- tinue in effect together with the Sunday 0.46 pm. trip which latter trip will continue to December 25th as originally scheduled.

Automobile traffic on this route is constantly increasing and the

lnally intended would surely cause inconvenience to many motorists. The continuation of these trips is

regarded as an important im- provcmeht. Official confirmation of the

continuation of the Sunday trips was received yesterday by Mr. B. Graham Ringers. who is in charge of the transportation work of the Department.

During the Provincial Exhibition and Old Home Wefi heavy period of travel, both ear ferries are op- erating at Borden-Tormeniine giv- ing a service of eight trips each way per day. This service runs from Aimistillth to Sunday, Aug- ust 21st inclusive, and will again be in operation over the Labour Day holidi? period.

OTTAWA, Aug. 1B — (OP) - Canada and Russia came to a3- reemcnt today - on ice-breakers,

The Russians said the Russians. not the Canadians. made the first ice-breaker. The Canadians said they were probably right. But they reserved the right to chuckle over further Russian "first" claims which have already embraced the automobile, telephone. submarine and whai-havc-you.

It all appeared to be another in- temai ideological dispute anyway.

A Russian writer in the news- paper Reii Fleet took issue with a "distortion of historical fact" in the Soviet Encyclopedia which said "The first ice-breaker was built in Canada in 1837 for use on the Delaware River" in the United Slates.
