The troublesome problem of ice age
man in North America was again
brought before the National Academy
of Sciences at the closing session OF
its annual meeting here yesterday.
Whether homo Sapiens was rela-
lively late arrival in the New World
or came here during the closing years
of the glacial epoch, when ice still
covered much of the continent and
the long-extinct mammoth, maStodon
and saber-tooth tiger we're the domi-
nant animals, may be approaching a
definite answer, according to DR.. John
C. Merriam, president of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, and DR..
Henry Fairchild Osborne of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History.
In this connection DR.. Merriam
declared the Bureau of American
Ethnology excavations on a camp site
of early man in Northern Colorado as
''epochal," and DR.. Osborne said
American archaeology at last had found
floor" upon which to work.
Excavations Described.
The Colorado excavations were de-
scribed to the academy by DR.. Frank
H. H. Roberts of the Smithsonian
Institution. The discovery of this
site, he said, was made originally by
Maj. Roy G. Coffin of Fort Collins,
Colo, who notified the Washington
institution. Examination of the site
left no doubt but that the arrow points
and other artifacts there, in asso-
citation with bones which since have
been identified as those of extinct
bison, were those of the mysterious
Folsom men, who appear unquestion-
ably to have hunted ice age mammals
through the Southwest.
The great significance of the find
is that it enables archeologists to con-
struct pattern of the culture of the
earliest known inhabitants of North
America, which can be applied in other
localities.
The remaining problem is whether
the ice age mammals may not have
survived to a relatively late time One
of the most vigorous controversies on
the subject arose from the discovery
a few years ago of human bones as
oOIldtCu Wltll bOliCS VI ltldoJOQOA ouu
sabre-tooth tiger in Florida by the late
DR.. Charles E. Gidley of the National
Museum.
DR.. Merriam, who has devoted many
years to the study of the probability
of ice age habitation of the continent,
told of recent preliminary studies Of
the terrain in which DR.. Gidley's dis
coveries were made. It has much the
same general appearance, he said, as
that of the Southwestern sites, where
supposed remains of glacial man have
been found. The question, DR.. Mer-
riam concluded, still is a long way

REPORT ON AIRPORT
LOCATION DISCUSSED
Unemployment Compensation Bill
Delayed Pending Action on
Security Measure.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The House District Committee to-
day favorably reported the Ellen
bogen unemployment compensation
and the Norton old-age pension bills.
Favorable reports also were Or
dered on two bills sponsored by Rep
reSentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia designed to give police and fire
men the privilege of living outside
the District within the so-called metro
politan area.
Action was taken at a protracted
executive session devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of subcom-
mittee report relating to the location
of a proposed airport.
Security Bill Awaited.
The committee at the insiStence of
Representative Patman, Democrat. of
Texas had purposely delayed action
on the unemployment compensation
bill pending passage by the House of
a national security measure. Chair
man Norton of the House District
Committee is reported to have insisted
on a favorable report on her long
pending old-age pension bill because
of its close relationship with the un-
employment compensation measure.
Several hours before the committee
reported out the unemployment COM
pensation bill Rufus S. Lusk of the
Washington Taxpayers Protective As
sociation suggested in written memo
randum series of amendments to
make it conform to various provisions
in the national security measure.
The unemployment compensation
bill provides that employers shall con-
tribute per cent of the annual pay
roll toward the compensation fund and
that the Districts contribution should
equal 1 per cent of the pay roll of all
employers.
Would Aid Those Over 65.
Mrs. Norton's old-age pension bill
would benefit persons 65 years old or
over who have resided in the District
for five years or more The Board
of Commissioners would be charged
with administration of the Old-age
assistance fund.
It also would determine the amount
OF relief based on condltlonS IN each
case.
The measure, however, fails to
authorize a fixed appropriation for
the relief funds, but stipulates that
Congress shall make available to the
Commissioners "such sum as may
be needed for old age assistance, to-
gether with a sufficient fund to defray
administrative expenses"
The committee took favorable action
on the two Smith bills to permit police
and firemen to live outside the Dis
trict on recommendation of the Police
and Fire Subcommittee. At a public
hearing on these measures Monday
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown and
representatives of the Fire Department
urged that they be enacted in view of
the housing conditions in Washington.

SENATOR LONGS OBJECT LESSON

 The which seized the student body part of it. when the student newspaper gagged may not last very long It may not bother the Kngfsh in the least and may do absolutely nothing toward freeing the uni versty of his domination.
 But it is giving these young students the best possible kind of object lesson in two kinds of freedom.
 First of a it is teaching them-n the most approved laboratory anner-iust what this famous old freedom of the press argument is all about

 it be not free express opinion and present facts with out interference from above.
 They will not need to be told any more that people free if it's newspapers gagged They have learn ed that much by sad experience and the lesson will stick
 So much for the first object lesson. The second one runs parallel it is succinct and memorable demonstration of the nature and value of academic freedom.
 If there is place above all others where mems minds are broadened and culture is developed and becomesa country club, political organization athletic assoca- ton, what you wish; anything at all but university

 All in all now, this country has or less valid claim to some 100000 square miles in the vicinity of the South Pole

up nine runs in the first inning of
their game against the Fat Bows

added Il more until the affair was
called at the end of the seventh
with the Buttermakers swamping
their opponents 2l-0.
Homer Chambers, star twirler for
the Staters, was in his usual good
form and held his opponents to
three hits. Since Homer refused TO
be oYergenerous with passes to first
base and his mates in the field
backed him up in excellent fashion
the three scattered bingles failed
to produce needed runs.
The Buttermakers poled out 18
hits with Chuck Provence, left field
er having a perfect night at bat
Provence was up four times, goJ
four hits, one OF which was a home
run and another a double, and
scored four runs. Williams, short

Without Owens definite threat in

Winners by wide margins in the

Dean Cromwell's greatest track

all competition with ease. only to
find their strongest threat of the

remaining Ohio entries, the U. S.

If the Ohio attack weakens at
