Publication of a map to guide exploratory drilling for a possible extension of the Tri-State mining area into Crawford county was announced today by the State Geological survey at the University.
The results of a geophysical study conducted by Dr. R. M. Dreyer, associate professor of geology, show that lead and zinc ores may underlie the county to an extent that drilling for ores in Crawford county is justified.
Dr. Dreyer used magnetic techniques, which employ the principle of the toy magnet, to map in detail the geological structure of southeastern Crawford county. The resulting geological map will show zones that might contain lead, zinc, coal, or oil.

Green Criticizes Third Party
The contest will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, in the East room of the Union.
Cleveland, Feb. 9—(UP) —John Green, president of the C.I.O. Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding workers, today called Henry A. Wallace's third party a "mad movement and a foolhardy attempt to split the ranks of labor."
He told 300 delegates to the union's 13th annual convention that "we cannot support this mad move for a third party at this time. Its supporters are motivated by a program identical with that of the Kremlin and blessed by Moscow."
Green spoke in favor of the Marshall plan and charged that Congress "is messing around with the European recovery plan, trying to cut it or turn it into a charitable program, which is what those opposed to the Marshall plan want."
On the domestic front, Green warned of any approaching depression and outlined a union program to combat it. The program, he said, should include more "real" wage increases to restore purchasing power, repeal of the Taft-Hartley law, a national program of public works in readiness, increased public housing and extension of social security programs.
He charged that President Truman, on the Maritime question, was "shortsighted" and was permitting America to become a "seventh-rate maritime nation."
The convention, which continues through Friday, will also be addressed by such top C.I.O. aides as President Phillip Murray, Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, Emil Rieve, president of the Textile Workers, and Jack Kroll, chairman of the Political Action committee.
ISA Meeting Canceled
