(AP) — Fire now looms as man’s new coal miner. Underground fires would burn coal right where it lies, producing heat to run electric turbines, gas that could be transformed into gasoline or other enriched fuels. There would be no human miners who could be trapped un- denground by explosions or cave- ins, as aappened in several dis- asters last fall from Nova Scotia to West Virginia. The planned, controlled fires would burn coal at depths and of thicknesses that can’t be mined} 2 economically, making use of bil- lions of tons long after easily- available coal is exhausted. This is the goal of men like Milton H. Fies of the Alabama Power Company, a pioneer in the fire - process known as under- ground gasification of coal. DEFINITE FUTURE Experiments are being con- ducted under aco - operative agreement ‘between the company and the U.S. bureau of mines. This engineering fire science is making enough progress to prom- ise economical, efficient use m the United States within the fore- seecable future. Russia already claims she is using underground fires to. pro- duce gases burned in steam _tur- bines that are producing 60,000 kilowatts of electric power. Rus- sia began experimenting with un- derground gasification in 1932, long before other nations became interested. And Great Britain, increasingly hungry for electric power, is de- veloping a pilot plant designed to produce 5,000 kilowatts from the underground fires. This plant is scheduled to be operating this spring. Experiments at an. Alabama Power Company coalfield 60 | hed miles from Birmingham include test in 1949-51 when more than 10,000 tons of coal were burned in 22 months. This often produced gases at a quality of more than 100 British thermal units of heat per cubic foot of gas. That’s enough to burn and produce steam for an electric turbine although natural gas may-rut as high as 1,000 British thermal units. The coal burned was 130 to 170 feet underground. SEVERAL PROBLEMS The experiments snow the ul- timate feasibility of fire mining, but there are still problems to be solved, Fies reports. One is keeping contact between coal and air or oxygen blown down to the fire. Another is keeping the burn ing area sealed off and confined McGill Professor Is Critical Of Proposed ‘Bill Of Rights’ OTTAWA ‘(CP)—Dr. pFrank R. Scott, Macdonald profegtsor of law at McGill University, said Satur- day night that Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s proposed bill of rights ‘does not put our liberties on a secure foundation.” Delivering the second Alan B. Plaunt memorial lecture at Carle- ton University here, Dr. Scott said the bill perhaps has ‘educa- tion value, that it will stand as a solemn affirmation of demo- cratic beliefs and that it spells out a number of specific rights in a comprenensive way. But no new machinery would be created for the enforcement of rights and ‘the bill could not bind future Parliaments. “The instruction to the judges to interpret all future laws in favor of these freedoms would have to give way before any) later law that in fact clearly took | away the freedoms,” Dr. Scott said- “T think this is true whether the future law says it is amending the bill of rights or not. Hence the bill does not put our liberties on a secure foundation. “Doubtless no future Parlia- ment would lightly contravene these principles: but then, even without the bill it would not _ EASTERN GUARDIAN “AUCTION “45” Score Cards for sale. at Guardian-Patriot Central Printing.

PROVINCES NOT BOUND “Provincial legislatures can abrogate human rights exactly as much after the bill becomes law as they may have done in the o_ and Canadian history shows that provincial legislatures ore more likely than the federal Par. liament to violate minority rights and individual freedoms. Prov- inces are more easily swept by new doctrities that might endan ger our traditional liberties .... “It is a bill of rights for all Canadians, yes, because all Cana- dians come under some federal law. “But it is a very partial bill, applicable only in peacetime, no stronger than the self-restrint of our federal members of Parlia- ment at any given moment, and inapplicable to provincial legisla tures.

An- other is avoiding the burning of the gases while they are still down in the coal seam. Russia apparently is producing gases by first doing some under- ground mining, creating galleries and channels for the mar-set fire to progress along, Fies said. The British program also looks promising, he added. There the coal burning is started by plac- ing magnesium bombs, gas burn- ers or simply wot ore in the coal The injection of air then Linties the fire. Coal gases can also be en- riched to make natural eee for. home heating or ically to produce oil, _ipreete lagen and other products. USE ELECTRIC CURRENT Another promising method uses through the coal seams. The coal is red hot after the current is shut off so that air can then be blown througa the pas- sages to make gas. Gasification engineers. borrow. ing ideas from the oil industry, and sands down into coal seams under pressure to break or frac- ture the seams. The sand grains prop open the crack made by the | fracture, permitting easier pas-_ sage of air through the coal and | better burning once the fires are_ begun.
