DIR. Hrdlicka found scores of old
village sites on the island, the larg-
est of which covers more than 80
acres, indicating it was once thick
ly settled and probably a diffusion
center from which at least a part
of North America was peopled by
the Indians.
The oldest recoverable human
remains in the north, he believes,
probably are located by way of
Kodiak island over a period of
many centuries, the latest perhaps
arriving about 1900 years ago.
Ruins of their dwellings, graves,
tools, weapons and refuse are piled
10 feet deep in places.
Skeletons from the graves show
that two distinct types of people
lived at different times on the is
land. One, the more ancient, re-
sembles the California Indians,
while the other is related to the
Aleuts, natives of the Aleutian is
lands, off Alaska.

In surprise return to the witness
stand just before final arguments

man of the board of the Richfield
Oil company, lashed back at his CO.
defendants, who had sought during
the conspiracy and grand theft
trial to place the blame on him for
asserted misappropriation of COM
pany funds.
Talbot's testimony, totally unex-
pected, cleaved a wide breach be-
tween the legal counsel of the
groups of attorneys, who had
worked closely during the trial of
Talbot. c. M. Fuller and R. w.

Talbot declared that he had not
authorized his two defendants
to draw on company funds to play
the stock market. He specifically
denied responsibility for six checks
of the company drawn in Fuller S
name in October, 1929, and turned
over to brokers.

Under terms of the peace agree

the war ministry was determined TO
push on to Marking if the troops
were sent back to China and that
some of the troops from Shanghai
had been sent to Manchuria.
The withdrawal means virtual re-
turn to the status before the Shang-
hal fighting, and that Japan cx-
poets the great powers to enforce
the terms of the Shanghai armis-
tice.
Premier Inukai will visit Emperor
Hirohito later today to obtain Off
cial sanction for the withdrawal.

UNITED PRESS SHOWS CONGRESS
HAS IT'S OWN LITTLE 'RACKETS'

they are Jumped with those who
carry non-Working relatives on the
rolls
There is the case of Rep. Albert
Carter (Rep) California, which
might be easily misunderstood, un-
less one inquired into it. His wife
is on the payroll at about $40 a
week. She left for California last
week TO spend the summer but she
is being continued on the payroll.
According to her husband, she will
have charge of the congressional
office which he maintains in
Oakland.
Mrs. Carter and her niece sailed
last Saturday on the navy trans
port Henderson, via the Panama
canal, trip lasting three weeks.
There is no charge for a congress-
mans wife or family, except the
S1.50 a day mess fee. Thus for $50
a congressman or his wife can
make a trip that would cost at
least S120 on a commercial boat
for the most modest accommoda-
tionS. On navy or army transport
a congressman and his wife travel
with the rank and shipboard per-
quisities of a brigadier general
Senators get the rank of major
general 1t makes very pleasant
and inexpensive travelling and is
frequently used.
The only tour better than this
Panama canal trip is the great
Oriental junket to Honolulu, Guam,
the Philippine Islands, China and
Japan, which congressman take in
considerable numbers during their
off summers, carrying wives and
members of their families for $1.50
day each in mess fees. A pro-
posal in the economy bill to abol-
ish these army and navy transport
services was voted down by the
house a few days ago.
Congressman Carter does very
well on his mileage. He is allowed
$1,000 for a session of congress. His
own fare from Oakland to Wash
ington and back is $374.76, includ-
ing lower berth. BY shipping Mrs
Carter on a government transport
he can come through almost $1,000
to the good each year. The $1,000
mileage allowance is provided fol
by law and is perfectly legal. Other
far western congressman receive
approximately the same amount
for travelling expenses.
