PYGMY EXTINCTION
IN AFRICA FEARED
Tribes Becoming Contami-
mated by Vices of White
Race, Missionary Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, November 12.-Are the
African dwarf tribes to disappear un-
der Belgian rule as the Tasmanians did
under British rule, or are they to be
confined to reservations as are the In
Gians living in the U. S. A?
The question is being asked by the
Austrian missionary, Father Shebesta,
who has specialized on studying the
pygrny race and who, on his return from
equatorial Africa, has recently lectured
on this subject under the auspices OF
the Belgian universities.
According to Father Shebesta, there
are not more than 10000 pure pygmieS
left in Central Africa QturD and these,
together with semi-pygmies called
Batshwas, totaling some $4,000, inhabit
a territory covering approximately 100,-
900 square miles, limited by the 1turl,
Lenda and Lindi Rivers and distributed
among some 1893 tribes.
Little by little, he says, these dwarf
tribes have come under the dependency
of Negro tribes with whom they eX-
change game against cereals, fruits and
arms
The Negro has come to consider the
pygny as an inferior race and he looks
r. them as upon slaves" Father She
5.sta said also the contact with the
negro. and subsequently with the white
man, has rendered the pygmy familiar
with alcohol and infectious diseases"
The purity of the dwarf race, which
Father Shebesta halls are more healthy
than the Negro race, has been preserved
only where the pygmy has remained an
unsettled nomad race. staying close to
the forests that provide them with game,
fish and tropical fruit.
Nothing short of governmental or
private initiative is able, in the opinion
of Father Shebesta, to halt the down
ward trend of the dwarf races, which
science and civilization are equally in
tereSted in preserving
To this end he suggests the immedi-
ate appointment of an official mission
to investigate the pygmy question, to
group the still existing pure tribes into
reserves of their own and, after a sufi-
cient period of practical observation to
decree definite measures of protection.

The Standard Oil Co. Of California
and the Sinclair Oil interests have bid
spiritsd1y for the Richfield assets, now
appraised by engineers at $50, zoe, 600.
Bids were boosted by the millions, the
Sinclair interests offering $4,000, 600
debentures and 100000 shares of COM
mon stock.
Although tte Sinclair bid was con-
sidered by G. Parker Toms, chairman
of the Bank Creditors Committee, as
being S5,0OO,000 more than the face
value of the Standards offer of S22,-
100000 debentures and common stock,
the bid of the Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton (Sinclair) was rejected by the
Creditors Committee and the Standard
offer accepted, Toms said no positive
value could be placed on the Con-
solidated debentures because mo mar
ket figures are available"
But the way was cleared for Sinclair
still to figure in the bidding by the
announcement from New York that the
Bondholders' Committee of the Pan
American Petroleum Co, Richfleld
subsidiary, had decided definitely not
to accept the Standard offer.
