The Alvin never before had been seen operating in the deep. National Geographies Emory Kristof and Alvin M.

The 1,500 kilometer gash, four times the depth of the Grand Canyon, forms a boundary between two plates of earth's crust sliding past each other at a snail's pace. Researchers aboard Alvin found a bizarre underwater world bearing proof of a constantly changing seafloor in their voyages into a vast rift in the Trench. And for the first time they explored massive cliff faces that reveal deep layers of the By JOHN F. MCMANUS The traitorous plan to revamp the 1903 Panama Canal Zone Treaty hit the headlines during the Ronald Reagan-Geral- d Ford nomination fight. But now that Reagan has been defeated, there will be little further election-yea- r mention of the Kissinger scheme to turn the Canal over to the Panamanian Marxist dictatorship. DR. ROBERT D. Ballard, who led the Cayman Expedition of Woods Hole Oceano-graphi- c sup- port from the National Science Foundation and United States Navy, takes readers on a voyage into the strange sea canyon in the August National Geographic.

If Panama is excluded from sovereign rights and the United States possesses all such rights as if it were sovereign, then obviously the United States is sovereign. The matter of full U.S. sovereignty was the subject of a Supreme Court declaration (Wilson V. Shaw, 204 U.S. 23) in 1907. The Court said: "It is hypocritical to contend that the title of the United States is imperfect, and that the territory described does not belong to this nation . ." 'GRAPE BOND SELF SEAL NO.
