Gen. MacArthur and Admiral
Nimitz states.
Admiral Kincaid at Leyte, told
Dean Schedler, Associated Press
correspondent, that the Japanese

The Admiral stated that between
25 and 30 enemy vessels were

DIGGING DEEP
HOLE IS
BORING JOB
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK — The world’s
deepest hole, 15,279 ft (almost
three miles), an oil well near Fort
Stockton* Tex., has just been com
pleted after several years’ work.
Down there it is hot, 240
degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure
on the oil at the bottom is 2,800
pounds a square inch, which is
about 200 times the weight of the
air at earth’s surface.
At that depth rocks become
brittle. It doesn’t take much of
a blow to cause them to snap.
This well is 20 inches in dia- j
meter at the top and 7 3-4 j
CAN THAT BF |
CHINA I SEE/v
inches at the bottom. It brings
the oil up m a five-inch pipe.
After the well was sunk, and
the steel pipe lowered a thousand
sacks of cement was placed, by
pumping, around the lower end
of the pipe to seal it firmly into
the surrounding sand, which is
really rock, except for the tech
nical name due to the porosity.
Finally, a 30-ft. long gun was
lowered down to 15 268 feet. This

AAAAAA
gun was studded on all sides with
small openings filled with steel ' '
jacketed cartridges. An electrical 4;
connection discharged fhem to
penetrate both the pipe, * the ,>
concrete around it and 15 to 20
feet back into the oil sands. Oil ^
enters the well through these ■
holes. *,
