Believed Discovered

Jerusalem, April 28.-R)-The cor
respondent OF the Jewish 'telegraphic
agency said today that an expedition
from the Rome Pontifical and Bibli-
cal institute believed It had discover
ed the Biblical cities Of sodom and
0omorrah. .
The expedition. supervised by Faith
er Mellon, has been excavating the
Oriental City Of Ghor, near the Dead
Sea.
The work uncovered q large city
destroyed by fire at the close Of the
first bronze age and never rebuilt.
It is believed tho city was destroyed
about 20 centuries before Christ. and
the date and character Of the ruins
induced Father Mellon to believe that
the expedition had discovered the an
cient cities which were destroyed by
fire and birthstone.

Grand FORTS. \. D.. April 2s.-R-
Recent criticisms directed ct the

based on IN unfair premise. H. D.
Paulson, editor Of the Fargo Forum,
said here Saturday In the feature i'd
dress Of the annual founders day

Chi.
Paulson contended that editors
have been prone to compare the
journalism graduate with the veteran
Of many years experience, whereas the
position occupied BY the graduate q
comparable TO that Of . newly grad
uated lawyer Or doctor. The man or
the woman who has been graduated
from = well-directed, well-conducted
school Of journalism offers to the edi-
tor q far better prospect for the fu-
ture than does the man whom he
picks out Of the street and who Is not
in any manner prepared for the task
placed before him." Paulson said.
Turning to the future. Paulson
vfsuali1ed q vast change in the per-
sonnet directing North Dakota news
papers In the next 10 to 20 years. 1.-THE
men who are leaders today viii have
passed on or will have passed their
