MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORG. MONDAY, JANUARY J. 19S1 A 9 Scientists Plan To Dig Deep Hole in Pacific Ocean Floor By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (UPD - One more preliminary temains before science begins drilling a very deep hole into the ocean floor. To many this drilling will seem only a lot of work but to scient i ists it is a grand venture into the un- known depths UCIOS &nuiD ui wic ecu lit, opposite to but just as excit ing as space exploration. , Three scientists intimately involved have disclosed to their colleagues that this pre liminary will.be taken care of early in the new year, and then they'll be off figurative ly for way down under. They spoke at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The preliminary is a final testing of equipment and tech ntques. It will involve drill ing several holes into the ocean floor beneath 12,000 feet (approximately two miles) of water near Guada lupe Island cff the Pacific Coast of Mexico. These holes will be relatively shallow. Six Mile of Drilling The real business hole Will be 15,000 feet deep and will be drilled under 15,000 feet of water. That adds up to al most six miles of drilling (since the depth of the water has to be counted in the depth of the hole) and it's approx imately a mile deeper than man has ever penetrated the earth's surface. The reporting scientists were Dr. William Bascom of the National Research Coun cil, Dr. Gordon C. Lill of the Office of Naval Research, and Dr. Harry H. Hess of Prince ton University. The project is sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research . Council and financed by the National Science Foundation. The two groups announced in Washington that a $736,750 contract for the test drilling has been awarded to the Glo bal Marine Exploration Corp., Los Angeles. Anchored Ship Uied The drilling will be done from an anchored ship. The rotary drills will be lowered to the ocean floor by cables and powered and services by hinged pipes and cables! In the familiar techniques devel oped by oil well drillers both on land and in the shallow waters off the coasts. There are theoretic formu lations that the earth's core is liquid iron which is con tained in a very hard and dense rock of even consist ency - "dunite" - some 1,700 miles thick. The objective of the project is to get as close as possible to this dunite where it is pure and solid. NOW IN PROGRESS! . ' Jj'-aluerl ' g A 4 Aft .

Hess counted up these unhatched chicks. The dunite, he said, may represent the line where the intense heat from the earth's core stabilized and stood still for billions of years, thus giving rise to chemical reactions which eventually rerulted in the cre ation of life. The "cores" which the drills will dig out of the earth and bring to the ocean's surface should contain fossilcs of many kinds. These will be the ancestors of the fossil; which have told science much about early forms of life. Nat urally the fossils deep in the ocean's sediments will be even earlier. ft f -..XV K V f' 8?

It would be interesting if everybody declared a mora torium on prejudice for a single iear. The world might be cured of its paranoia. It won't happen, of course. It's hard enough, human na ture being what it is, to gie up even a minor prejudice for any length of time, such as hating pistachio ice cream. (It'sstoo greenish.) It's even harder to give up major prejudices, such as hat ing entire sovereign nations, continents) or archipelagoes. J knotf a man. who hates frozen' cauliflower," the entire Eastern Hemisphere and all the. W fea t e r n Hemisphere south of the 30th Parallel North. Ho lives in Ellsworth, Me., tyhich seems5 to have soured his outlook, s He 'claims he is sorry that his arb.H.rary prejudices hap pens to exclude parts of Tex as,. Louisiana and Florida from bis favor, but he points Mul that you have to draw a line somewhere in this world. A prejudlceish't any good if you don't stick to it. This man's prejudices may seem foolish. But he can't get rid "8f them. Everytime he cats frozen cauliflower he hates it harder. This also makes him hate the Eastern Hemisphere h a r d e r.Pjeju dices fatten on each other. So I'm not making . any resolutions to quit my prcju them deeper. But I do hope to search them out, discover w ha t they're made oS, subject tliem (p the light, and - if they are revealed as false friends -excoriate them. Why is it that I don't es pecially like Eskimos? Is this a prejudice? I don t think' so. I've read that they're a very warm, outgoing people. There's no reason oto dislike somebody simply because they re not exactly like us, is there? But Eskimos are just a little bit too different, for my money. Let's say fate threw me in with an attractive Eski mo and we fell in love. Could we ever find happiness? I doubt it. It wouldn't np prac tical. Our cultures are too far apart. You can't catch a fish by cutting a bole in a hardwood floor, and there's no place In an igloo to plug in an electric blanket. I respect Eskimos, Jut I don't understand them. Besides, whenever I get close to a Polar bear I get a stomach rash, Nevertheless, now that I've broughliiil out in the open and given it an honest look.tl find my prejudice against the Eskimo no longer . has any meaning. I don't mind Eski mos a damn bit. Eggplants are different. I can't stand eggplant. It's that name, for one thing. It's in trinsically hideqys. But com pared with the fruit it des cribes, it is a lovely euphem ism, as sweet and graceful as a Chopin etude. I have had eggplant baked, broiled, sautced, chilled, nn casserole, Creole, mashed, stuffed, steamed and left over in sundry disguises, and it is still eggplant - that loathsome ovoid, that purple object gf revulsion. It seems to me that a man who has given p hating Es kimos has earned the right to go on hating eggplant for one more year. Anyway, ffi's a start in the right direction. Tomorrow I'm going to try to figure out why I hate mo torcycles.
