TRACES Of ANCIENT
CITIES ARE SOUGHT
Smithsonian Institution Sends
Expedition to Choro-
tegan Area.

Ruins Of ancient stone cities in prac-
tically unexplored jungles of Eastern
Honduras will be sought by a Smith
sonian Institution expedition this
Winter.
These ruins, the existence of which
Is known from reports of natives and
chicle hunters, lie nearly 300 miles
south of the southern limits of the
great Maya culture area, where the
highest of New World civilization was
developed, and in what is known to
archeOlcgistS as the Chorotegan area.
Here civilization grew up long before
the discovery of America by Columbus
which in some respects approached
that of the Maya themselves but lacked
the more advanced features, such as
an elaborate calendar and heiroglyphic
writing.
Hope to Find Inscription.
The Smithsonian archeologists have
several clues which indicate the ruins
they plan to visit contain monuments
with inscriptions. If this is true. it in
dicateS either a far removed Maya COL
ony or a higher Chorotegan develop
ment than hitherto has been suspected.
At present it is all great mystery. This
is increased by the fact the precious
metals and turquoise from which the
Maya made elaborate decorations are
believed to have been imported from or
through Chorotegan country.
This is one of the least known areas
OF the New Yorld. It is covered with
dense jungle which long since has hid
den the ancient walls of the demolished
palaces and temples. Only lumber men
Patuca, down which the Smithsonian
scientists hope to make their way in
canoes They have been unable to find
any trustworthy maps Of the country
All sorts of courses are shown for the
Patuca.
Seek Indian Contacts.
The Smithsonian party consists OF
Alan Paine, William D. Strong and
Norman Haskell. They plan to spend
four months in the country, determin-
ing the nature Of the ruined cities
making collections of bird and animal
life OF the region, and making contact
If possible, with the practically un-
known PayaS and Sumu Indians. These
jungle natives, il is believed, may be on
the transition line between typically
North and South American linguistic
stocks, and from the study of Their
language something may be learned OF
the language of the Maya and of the
relations of the present tribes to this
ancient people.
Possibilities Open Up.
If 1t Is found that there was a large
Maya colony in Southeastern Honduras
all sorts Of possibilities are opened up
When the old empire, the original seal
Of the Maya where. their culture reached
its greatest development, was broker
up for some unknown reason the new
empire was formed to the northward ir
Yucatan and achieved almost as high 6
level as in the ancestral land.
But it is entirely possible that the
colonization from the old empire also
spread southwark and another "nev
empire" with its own independent de-
velopmept, may have been established
In Honduras. Dated monuments, it i:
believed. almost certainly will indicate
Maya association, since it Is Difficult,
to believe. that any Chorotegan tribe.
in an isolated region could have de-
veloped this highest feature of the
Guatemalan civilization independently

REFUND TO PRINTERS
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
Senate Committee Favors Fund to
Reimburse U. S. Employees for
- Accumulated Leave.

The resolution to reimburse employees
OF the Government Printing Office for
leave which they earned during the fis
cal year ended last July, but were pre-
vented from taking by the economy act,
was reported favorably to the Senate
today by Senator Dickinson, Republi-
can of Iowa, from the Printing Com
mittee.
The resolution seeks to reappropriate
for this purpose money returned to the
Treasury during this current fiscal year
as result of the payless furlough
system.
It is contended that Printing Office
employees were Disseminated against,
because, prior to the economy law, en-
ployes of that Office could not take an
nual leave until they had accumulated
the full 80 days during a 12-month
period, whereas in other departments
leave was available as it accrued at the
rate of two and one-half days month.
