Kodiak Indians
 We're Fighters

Life was grim on Kodiak Island, when prehistoric ancestors of the Indians lived there. Some of their less cheerful customs, as reconstruc ted from ancient remains, by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian Institution were:
 Killing an infant if it's mother died and burying the two together; or simply burying the baby alive with the dead mother.
 Killing a wife when her husband died and burying them together.
 Sacrificing slaves or captured en- emies by burning them to death.
 Hazards of war and hunting were also severe, Dr. Hrdlicka found:
 Bones of a hunter apparently killed by a bear with most of the vertebrae broken, ribs crushed and one arm missing
 Remains of a massacre, including the skeleton of a woman with a bone dagger through the heart; a warriors skull with stone club head imbedded in it; another skull with a stone arrow point at the base of the brain
 Debris of a conflagration that de- stroyed an entire village, containing bones of several who were trapped and killed by the fire.

order to arrest all drivers of Capt.
tai Trancit Company busses found
operating in Maryland without
State license tags or chauffer'S
permits was issued to the Mont
gomery county police today by

Washington on District tags and
entering Maryland for about 100
feet while rounding Chevy Chase
Circle and using a point on the
Maryland side of the circle as a
Stop-over or transfer point.
Following a ruling from Attor-

Mr.. Pugh issued a warning to the
transit officials.
At a conference with the Pub

refused to abide by this, declaring
he would accept orders only from
Attorney General O'Conor.
Meanwhile the transit company
has been making plans for halting
their Connecticut Avenue busSeS

A belief prevails in high official
quarters here that it Is absolutely
imperative for the United States
to develop without delay its ma
tional defense forces, particularly
the Navy, to the highest point of
efficiency permitted under exist
ing international treaties.
The recent war-like trend of po-
1itical events in the Old World
has brought high officials in this
Government to the conclusion that
the future holds grave danger OF
another big conflict.
Grave Need Seen
The view prevails that in order
to maintain complete freedom Of
action in crises which are feared
likely to arise with increasing
rapidity in the near future, this
Government must be in a position
to speak with a voice the power
Of which will command unques-

These are not merely the views
Of the Army and Navy, but Of
State Department diplomats other

Information which has reached
authoritative quarters here leads
to the belief that Great Britain
is out to reestablish its might as

prompted by fear that forces are

The Supreme Court held yester-
day that airplane passengers are

The ruling is of direct interest
to millions of policy-holders. Most
policies contain clauses denying
