SCIENTISTS BACK

Americans Reach Home From
South America

New York, Sept. N-Two Amer-
lean scientists have returned from
the Dutch Guiana jungle where big
black men spend their spare time
carving delicately wrought combs
and cooking utensils ~ favors for
their dusky lady friends.
DIR. Morton c. Kahn Of New York,
representing the Myron !. Granger

J. Herskovits. anthropologist. of
Northwestern University. are back In
the United States after spending two
months among the Djukas or bush

In South America. With the scien-
lists who reached New York yester-
day came many packing cases filled
with carved paddles, stirring sticks
for food. canoe seats, combs. stools.
niortars and many charms. all
destined for the museum.
Escape Slavery
The Djukas escaped from slavery
in Dutch Guiana in the first half of
the 18th century. but despite their
early contact with European and In
dian cultures they have retained
their original African civilization.
1T Is an interesting comment on
the processes of civilization" said
DR.. Kahn today. that there In the
equatorial jungle of South America
these negro descendants Of the rebel
slaves OF SURNAME should have
created a culture that. maintaining
itself on its own basis. has con-
sciously cast aside all the recogniza-
hle elements Of the white civiliza-
ton, and to this day have kept con-
siderable that is purely West African
in original"
The Djukas have contact with the
white mans civilization through the
Dutch traders but turn up their
noses at its boosted comforts and ad-
>antages. preferring to live as their
ancestors have lived for centuries.
They spurn firearms. trousers and
modern methods of agriculture. and
hold to their primitive religion. with

I'VE were probably the first white
men ever to witness theobeah. or

said DIR. Kahn. ''l'o the accom-
paniment of throbbing tom-toms
and their own weird chants. the
natives dashed about in
the frenzy or religious fervor, slash

Eyeglasses. foaming at the mouth
and destroying whatever came to

Peaceful Man
The Djuka is a peaceful man, con-
tent to live in harmony with his
neighbors. He hunts and farms
after his primitive fashion, but
spends many hours at his wood
carving.
DIR. Herskovits made study of
the social, political and economic life
of the people and found such
African customs as polygamy. the
marriage of a widow to her dead
husbands brother. and the presence
of food taboos associated with a sys-
tenn of clans.

ABANDON APPEAL

Albany, N. Y, Sept. (UP)-t
was indicated today that Mrs. Flor
ence +. S. Knapp, former secretary
of state of New York. might aban-
don a contemplated appeal against
a 30-day Jail sentence imposed on
her after her conviction for grand
larceny of state funds.
Neither yesterday nor early today
had Mrs. knapp's counsel made eff
forts to obtain her release from AL
bany county Jail by means of . GER
tificate of reasonable doubt, pend
ing appeal. Supreme Court Justice
Staley was here to receive an appli-
cation for such certificate.
Those intimate with the former
state official are said to be advis-
ing against applying for the certifi-
cate, telling her that a long-drawn-
out appeal might react on her
health more seriously than the
thirty day Incarceration. The one
time secretary of state. however, 1t
is reported, seemed insistent that
application be made.
Is In Hospital
Should any legal action be taken.
it is not expected to be taken until
Saturday when Justice Staley opens
a session of supreme court.
In the meantime Mrs. Knapp has
been removed to the women's hos
pital room OF the Jail from the
home-like quarters of the sheriff's
apartment there. where she spent
the first day and half of her sem
tence. The hospital room is immc-
diately over the tier of women's
cells.
Mrs. knapp's treatment, prison
officials said. would be exactly that
accorded any other sick inmate.
