JESUITS BEGIN AN EXPLORATION
 OF MISSISSIPPI
Scientists of That Order Are Studying the Valley in Quest for Earthquake Symptoms
BY LYLE c. WILSON.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, March 23.-(UP)-- Jesuit scientists, with the assistance of delicate seismometers. are ex- 'ploring the vast sub-surface of the Mississippi valley in quest for earth quake symptoms.
 Although accustomed to tornndoes the region drained by the Mississippi Is not commonly associated with earthquakes. Yet one of the great est of recorded quakes altered that terrain in three mighty, ground shaking tremblors.
 That was 12O years ago and the quake centered at New Madrid, Mo. In 1911 there were few persons rec siding in the area and there was scant loss of life. But that series of three quakes lowered an area of 20. 900 square miles from five to of smaller areas in proportion.
 Reeisfoot lake. Tenn. was created by those shocks. Captain N. H. Heck of the United States coast and geodetic survey estimated the shocks were felt over two thirds of the United States.
 Earthquakes are dangerous suh- jects for government officials to discuss. Unwise comment might create hyateria among residents. Heck said in discussing earthquake possibilities in the Mississippi valley.
 "The danger may be there or It may not be-" he said. ''The fact that investigation is under way in the valley under direction of Father Macelwane of St Louis university Is n matter of interest, but nothing to get scared about.
 "There are three stations now op- erating in the area in this particular investigation. They are St Louis university. at .Florisant. near St Louis and at Little Rock. Ark. A fourth station east of the Mississippi is be- ing sought"
