'v-- sr kT i3, 4 t& Artist Willy $toewr depicts tha 1 91 2 sinking of tha huge Titanic luxury liner Novelist says ym - Can Titanic be raised? : The author of a novel about NEW YORK (UPI) tke raising of the Titanic believes the luxurious liner, which sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean almost 65 years ago, can be brought to the surface in good condition. Furthermore, Clive Cussler explains exactly how the sunken ship can be salvaged m his spellbinding adventure novel, Raise the Titanic. The time is the 19S0s and the method of lifting the huge is ingenious but believable. Cusslers book, published by the Viking Press best-sell. late In October, already is heeded for the list Bantam Books has paid $840,090 for paperback . rights and $450,000 has been offered for a movie to be filmed by producer Sir Lew Grade and director Stanley Kramer, I wrote it as entertainment, Cussler said in an ; interview. "I tried tp make It almost like a movie. It ! was a fascinating concept to work with. Cussler said he hopes his novel will stir up some interest in finding the Titanic, which sank after hitting an iceberg in 1912 on her maiden voyage from England to New York. The motive for raising the Titanic in the novel was the belief that the only t' existing supply of a precious metal vital to the defense of the United States had been put aboard the vessel. ; ; Among the approximately 2,200 passengers aboard the liner was John Jacob Astor, ; who was among the 1,490 dead, and the unsinkable . Molly Brown of Denver, one of the 705 survivors. i 3 i four-stack- er er . Retirees raided by i CHRI8TVAS TIME AT JM: MONDAY I hope we will see some action taken in 1977 to see if we can find the hulk, Cussler said. It would not be a great technical feat. Cussler noted that the Titanic sank in feet 12,000 of water. There is no destructive sea life at that depth, Cussler said. The temperature is around freezing at 33 degrees. Also there is a low level of oxygen and salt in the water so it couldnt have rusted away. If cameras are ever lowered, you should be able to read Titanic over the bow. Cussler, a native Californian who has spent much of his spare time has probed the depths of lakes in the Rocky Mountains in search of aircraft that disappeared 30 years ago. skin-divin- g, So the thought of salvaging a ship would not be a new idea to him. He said he ran across some oceanographic expeditions photos in a Denver library. They had dropped cameras in the deep, Cussler said. They found actual objects, a newspaper beautifully preserved in 8,000 feet of water. A World War U fighter plane, which had been ditched at . 10,000 feet, looked like it had just come out of the factory. Seeing the picture of the plane caused him to begin thinking about the Titanic and its condition.

Like McGinley, Albert Handahl is a retired West Concord farmer. Green Thumb gives you something to do, said Handahl, 70. You dont just have to look at four walls and yourself for company.
