Up scientists have put to sea in search of a site for drilling the world s deepest Man made Hole. The project is aimed at answer ing age old questions about the Earth s Interior. Nearly a score of scientists Are aboard three ships assigned to the three week Survey. The ships Are from the Scripps Institute of oceanography and the naval electronics Laboratory. Speed urged in Ocean study Washington the sen ate Commerce committee is urging a 10-year Ocean research pro Gram to catch up with soviet rus Sia. Chairman Warren g.

Recently four ships conducted a similar Survey in the Atlantic in a 200-by-150-mile area North of puerto Rico. The two Ocean Survey work is part of tentative planning for drilling the Moholen a name Given to the National Academy of sciences project for getting a piece of the Earth s Mantle. Scientists think More than 80 per cent of the Earth is composed of the Mantle material which contains the planet s molten Interior and in turn is covered by the crust. The deep Hole will be drilled at sea rather than on land because tie Earth s crust is thinner under the Ocean. On land the crust is 15 to 20 Miles thick.

Their views were supported by two internationally famous Pio neers in the Field prof Auguste Piccard Swiss scientist and his son Jacques. The younger Piccard is under contract to the . Navy to Pilot the Trieste in its preliminary dives his father arrived this week from Europe to assist in some modifications to the Craft which the Piccard sold to the Navy last year. The Trieste is capable of dives Down to 20.000 feet. The Piccard Are planning a device that would be propelled downward into the Depths by a Rotor Blade similar to that on a helicopter and would have twin propellers for cruising and turning.
