By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, June 3.—Announce- ment that drilling for oil within the National Cathedral, one of the oldecl‘ shrines in America and best known in Mexico, will start soon, was made yes- terday by the section of explorations and geological studies of the depart. ment of industry, commerce and labor. The drilling also will determine how firm a foundation the cathedral rests on. ‘The cathedral probably is the largest church in the country and forms one | side of the zocalo or central square of the city with the national palace oc- cupying another side. This has not only been the seat of government and religlous center since the Spanish con- quest, but had a similar place in Aztec life from the twelfth century and from prehistoric times so served the Toltec civilization. Mexico City is constructed on an an- cient lake bed and is underlain with lake mud. Earthquakes frequently dis- | turb this foundation, often throwing buildings out of line. The cathedral has suffered in this manner during its long history, but in general is not greatly changed. o P Flyer Killed in 2,000-Foot Fall.
