CHICAGO, JAN Professor Fred

anthropology of the University of Chi
cago. arrived in Chicago today after
four months trip through Korea
and announced some unusual discov-
cries.
Most important of these discoveries
said Professor Starr. Us that on the
walls and along the approaches to a
Buddhist shrine erected 1000 years ago
I found carvings on stone which bear
a most striking resemblance to carv-
ings found in Mexico and Yucatan.
"The erosion of time has been con-
siderable and can not make definite
statement on that account But have
been so strongly Impressed that later
shall convince myself by careful In
vestigation.
The Indication are that Mexico and
Yucatan originally were peopled by
Mongols and that the religious rites
OF these ancient people of our own con-
nent were founded on the Buddhist re-
lision.'
