Scientists Probe Mystery
Of What's Inside Earth
" Editor's Note One of the most
ambitious scientific undertakings
of our time is the Mohole proj-
' ect: an attempt to find out what's
inside the earth. The only science
'writer accompanying ocean re
search vessels on a preliminary
exploration describes the expedi
tion in this first in a four-part

ABOARD RESEARCH VESSEL
VEMA (API Four United States
.research vessels have just com
pleted the first survey for what
promises to he one of the great
. science adventures of the century.
A hundred and fifty miles out
In the Atlantic north of Puerto
"Kico. they have been looking for

the earth's crust.
The hole is expected to answer
such age-old questions as what the
inside of the earth is really made
', of. It will go all the way down
' to the mantle, the thick band of
rock surrounding the earth's mol-
- ten inner core.
The drilling scheme has been
' dubbed the Mohole project be
cause the hole is to pierce a layer
within the earth called the Moho
The Mohole will be bored beneath
the sea since the earth's crust is
thinner below the ocean than on
land.
Still, the hole will have to be
several miles deep. And it will
"; have to be drilled beneath miles-
t deep water a feat never attempt
' ed before.
, For several weeks, I have been
aboard the "flagship" of the sur-
, vey flotilla, the Columbia Univer-
sily research ship Vema.
J The Mohole survey was directed
by Vema's chief scientist. Dr
, John E. Nafe. The other research
ships were Gibbs, from Hudson
, Laboratories, a Navy laboratory
. operated by Columbia; Bear, from
', the Woods Hole Oceanographic In
: stitution in Massachusetts: and
', Hidalgo, from Texas A&M Col-
lege.
, The survey covered an area' of
,the Atlantic known as the outer
; ridge, where the water is 3'i miles
; deep and the earth's crust is near-
, ly three miles thick. A possible
drilling site in the Pacific off the
) West Coast is also being surveyed.
; A final decision on just where the
Mohole will be drilled will be
made after a six-month study of
; data.

party of 11 to IS scientists and

For entertainment the ship has

The big difficulty for the scien
tist is making his instruments
work.
"Unfortunately, the sea is a bit
ter enemy of electronic gear,"
says Dr. Nafe. "It takes a day-and-night
struggle to keep ocean
research equipment functioning."
But the knowledge to be won
is of commanding importance.
The oceans are a key factor in
weather and climate. Geologists
say that they are also a major
arena for the forces that create
continents, raise mountains and
stir up volcanoes and earthquakes
The sea is home to countless
fnrms of life, past and present,
not found on land.
Oil and many other minerals
were formed in or below the sea,
and minerals abound' in the sea
today both in the water itself and
on and below the ocean bottom
Further, stagnant ocean waters
if any exist have been proposed
as a solution for a pressing atomic
age problem a resting place for
radioactive atomic power plant
wastes.

"It is part of the poiicy thati
