Sinclair and Fall Arc Mentioned
 in Testimony

! Washington, May 29.--Further in- quiry into the fuel oil contracts of the Fleet corporation by the house com mittee investigating the shipping board is expected to follow the taking of testimony yesterday which brought the names of former Secretary Fall and the Sinclair Company into the evidence. The committee vas in re- cess today but will resume its hear ings Saturday.
 Fall, the committee was told. refus- cd in July 1892 to renew a contract under which the shipping board had purchased government royalty oil in !lontana and Wyoming since 1920, at d saving placed at s5.S00,o0 by NJ E. Bowen, manager of purchases and supplies of the corporation. Joseph F. Shcedy, vice president of the cor poration, estimated that continuation about a further saying of about sS,- Gn0.600 a year.
 Sinclair representatives. Bowe said, were always on hand during negotia- tions between the board officials and Fall for extension of the agreement and subsequently were awarded a con tract calling for price about 25 cents higher than market quotations. Fall, tho witness declared. told him the oil was Of such high grade that he want ed more for it than the market auo- tation and that he also desired to en- ter into contract with someone other that the one company which was operating in the Salt Creek field, which was the Midwest Refining Company"
 The price called for n the Salt Creek contract, Bowen and ssheedy asserted, did not offset the loss sustained by the board, when it was forced ts contract elsewhere for it's oil and the former declared that, in time, the royalty oil with production increasing in the fields, would have been sufficient to meet the boards needs on tho Pacific and Gulf coasts and part of its At lantic fleet. The former secretary, taey insisted. was fully informed Of the advantages Of tho royalty con- tract to tho board,

RUSSIA REBU|LDS
 ROAD TO GEORGIA
Engineers Reconstructins Mill.
 tary Highway inhe Caucasus

VladikaVkaz, Caucasus, Dec. 13.- Soviet engineers have begun import reconstruction work on the great Georgian military highway which runs from Vladikavkaz to Tiflis and connects Russia with the Caucasian states, Begun more than 100 years ago by czarist engineers, the road. which runs for distance of lS0 miles through the steep Caucasian Mountains. is now in bad state of repair and will require millions of dollars for its reconstruction.
 AS an engineering achievement, the highway probably exceeds any similar project in Europe. It took 30 years to build 1t and it cost s35.- 000,00o, It has figured consplcu- ously in all the wars in Russia throughout the last century. Throughout its entire course. the traveller finds an intending panorama of superb mountain scenery. gorges, rivers, lakes, glaciers, ravines. wa terfalls, ancient Actresses and cas- ties.
 There are several huge glacier fields close to the highway. which from time to time cause dangerous landslides, frequently resulting in the loss of life. Recently a prominent Russian engineer was cought in one Of these avalanches and swept to death. His body was never recov- cred. Soviet contractors are now re- placing many of the gigantic wooden, steel and concrete walls and barriers which protect the road from snow slides but which have become rotted from years of use.

 The president summoned the son ators, mostly members of the re- publican steering committee. and discussed with them the possibility of staving off vote on the bill un- til the post office department can lay before congress plan for rais- Ing more postal revenues by increas- ing postage rates on practically all classes of mail except the first class.
 Postmaster General New conferred with the president after the sena- torial conference. He expects soon 10 send a letter 10 Chairman Ster- ling of the senate post office com mittee embodying the general fea- lures of the departments revenue plan.
 Unanimous consent agreement to postpone vote on overriding the executive veto was sought yesterday In the senate. but was blocked by Senator Couzens, republican. Mich- igan, The possibility of another at- tempt was discussed by the presi- dent at today's conference, as well as other means of delaying vote but no. definite conclusions were reached.
 The president urged that postal pay increase legislation must go hand in hand with legislation in- creasing the mail rates Some of the senators acceded to the presi- dents request but they reminded him that efforts 10 increase postal carving charges probably would meet with determined opposition from many quarters including pub

MAYAS THE FIRST
 TO USE FIGURES
SaVant Says They Developed
 Worlds Civilization

Berkeley. Cal, Dec. 12--The Maya tribes of Mexico, ancestors of the Astecs. probably had the oldest civ- iiization in the world and evolved the first system of mathematics. &C., cordinE to Professor A. L. Kroeber. of the University of California de- pertinent of anthropology. who has just returned from making excava- tions in Yueatan.
 Professor Kroeber said the Maya civilization dated back at least 2.ooo years before the time mathematical calculation as used now was first established in India in the fifth cen- tury. Some scientists estimate. he added, that the Mayas flourtshed as far back as 5000 years before the fifth century.
 "As the Greeks preceded the Rom ans with . high standard of civliza- ton. % the Mayas preceded the Az tees in Mexico" he continued. Bur fed pottery and ruins of cities re- gently discovered show high state of civilization, between 200 and 600 A. D.. by race known as the May as, which was coupled later by the Astecs.
 "The Mayas in Yucatan achieved higher things in art and literature IS well as in science. They were the inventors The Toltecs immediately preceded the Aztecs and doubtless gave them the benefits of Maya civ- ilization. About the year 500 A. D., when the decline of the Mayas be- gan. started . period about t. which little is known, but 1t may be as- sumed that tho culture of the Mayas was carried to the north from Yuca- tan into the high plateau country where Mexico City stands.
 The Aztec records cover about two centuries prior to the Spanish conquest. The Aztecs ruled their captive tribes with high hand, talk ing from them the tribute which en- abled them to build their cities"
