SKELETONS ENTHUSE
WORLD SCIENTISTS
Young American Holds Interest of
AnthrOpologists With Finds
in Palestine.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 5.-Theodore Nc
Gown. young graduate of the University
of California in the class Of 1929, held
the attention of the worlds anthropolo-
gists today with his description at the
Congress of Prehistoric Sciences of his
skeleton discoveries on Mount Carmel
in Palestine.
He was the leader this Spring Of
Joint expedition undertaken by the
American School for Prehistoric Re-
search and the British School of Arch
aeology. Their discoveries consisted of
eight fossil skeletons Of the Mousteritate
period, which Sir Arthur Keith de-
scribed today as "one of the most i'm
portant finds in this field yet made"
The type goes far to bridge the gap
between modern man and the Neander-
thai man, but the Mousterisns, unlike
the Neanderthal man, had chins.
Their chief characteristics, said Mr..
McCown. were tremendously heavy
jaws, great overhanging brows. long
massive limbs with marked develop
ments of the surface for muscle attach
ments." He said they probably were
stopped and walked with shambling
gait.

DEDUCTIONS RULED
FOR i. 5. CIVILIANS
MCCarI Holds Subsistence
and Quarters as Well
as Pay Are Affected.

Civilian employees of the Government
and quarters must suffer a pay deduc-
ton under the economy act, not only
for their net cash income from the
Government, but also from the valua-
tion of such subsistence and quarters
This was decided today by Controller
General McCarl who told the Secretary
of War that:
"If an employe is on a non-pay
status, whether on administrative or
legislative furlough. or leave of absence
without pay, he would rot be entitled
to free Government quarters, the deter
mired value of which is required by
law tn be considered as part of COM
persation."
Not only will the employe on such a
status be forced to take a pay cut on
this total compensation, including his
subsistence and quarters, McCarl held
but he must pay the Government rent
for the quarters he occupies. How he
will pay this rent differs under the ad-
ministrative and legislative furloughs.
Difference Is Explained.
McCarl explained this difference as
follows:
You are advised, therefore. that an
empioye on administrative fUrlough
without pay should be charged the full
determined value of the Government
quarters occupied for the period of such
fUrlough. In view of the provisions of
the regulation referred to, an employe
on legislative furlough, from whore com-
pensation there already would be de-
Quoted and impounded 81s per cent of
the determined value of quarters in the
total deduction based on the total salary
rate for the position, should be charged
the remainder of the determined value
OF the quarters occupied, or 9125 per
cent thereof
However, if the legislative fur,ough
is token in one period-that is, a full
calendar month-not only would no pay
accrue foc that month, but the fxe1
value Of the quarters. etc, turni-hed,
together with the retirement deduction
for the month, would be for deducting
from pay thereafter accruing"
Civilian Employees Affected.
1t was explained at the Office of the
controller general that this dec!sion af-
fectS civilian employees only end that
the military officers of the Government
are in a different kind of legislative
status regarding paw and allowance.
A peculiar situation regarding the
month of July was explained By Nc
Carl in his decision, to the Secretary
Of War, which pointed out thot there
are onv 2212 working days in Ju'y.
Since the economy act authorized EN-
employe to. take a calendar month or
% working days, McCarl held that
employees who took the entire month
of July as legislative furlough may not
BE- allowed the IL additional legisla-
tive Through days without deductions
from compensation
