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!

Such an - accomplishment
would contribute enormously
to scientific knowledge. 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.

OF SMITH & MEN

This is the proper time of
year to cast prejudice aa'ide
and give the world a fresh
new look.
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.
