HRDL|CKA TO VISIT
ALEUT|AN| ISLANDS
Sites Of Two Large Ancient
Towns in Far North
Object of Trip.

Dr.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator Of physi.
cal anthropology Of the Smithsonian
Institution, is preparing to leave Wash.
ington on his ninth expedition ir
search of prehistoric remains in Alas.
ka and the Aleutian Islands.
A primary objective this Summer
will be the sites of two large ancient
.c-2s %. - Westernmost ends Of
Atka and Adak Islands of the Aleu-.
tian chain. Each of these, it is re.
ported, covers several acres and they
may have been the largest population
centers in the Far North. Both are
difficult of access. They have never
SO far as known, been visited by white
men. DR.. Hrdlicka learned of theil
existence last Summer from an Aleut
chief whose village is at the eastern
edge of one of the islands.
In these sites, if they can be found
may be the solution of the riddle OF
this fog wrapped chain of desolate
islands extending across the Pacific
almost to the Kamchatka coast anC
forming a string of stepping stones
between two continents over which
the ancestors of the American In.
dian may have migrated to the New
World They were, at least, DR.
Hrdlicka believes, one of the great
migration routes.
To Collect Mummies.
A second objective will be the col.
lection Of as many as possible of the
strange Aleut mun.mies. The ole
Aleutians mummifed their dead, by
process peculiar to themselves
wrapped them in skins and deposited
them in cave tombs. Compared either
to the processes of the ancient Egyp.
tians or the ancient Peruvians the
Aleut system Of mummification was
crude. 1t was, however, quite eff.
9ective and constitutes one Of the
three systems known to prehistoric
man. 1t must have been, Dr. Hrdlicka
believes, part of culture developed
in Asia before the great migration.
After reposing peacefully in theil
cave tomhs for centuries these mum
mics now are threatened with destruc-
ton. The islands are being leased as
fox farms. The famished foxes in
wade the caves, devour the hides ir
which the mummies are inclosed ano
scatter the ancient bones. Thus. the
whole story of an ancient, and per-
haps a key, culture is being destroyed
and DR.. Hrdlicka wants to save the
record for science while there is vet
time. The foxes he says sometimes
are aided in their work of destruction
by human vandals in search of souve.
Mrs.
Students to Go Along.
DR.. Hrdlicka will be assisted this
Summer by a volunteer group of col.
lege students. The expedition viii
sail from Seattle on the Coast Guarc
cutter Northland May 20 and will
transfer at Juneau to a smaller Coast
Guard boat capable Of navigating the
dangerous waters along the Aleutian
chain.
So far as possible Dr. Hrdlicka hopes
to close up this Summer the Smith
sonian Investigations of ancient man
in Alaska which, to date, have un-
covered one OF the most colorful pages
OF the prehistoric history of North
America.

NLRB DECISION
IN EDISON CASE.
FLAYED BY AFL
Union Chiefs Demand
Boards Abolition
BY EDWARD B. LoCKETT

ny G~"AGSO DE LYME
G.N.SJ American Federation
of Labor anger played dangerously
over the National Labor Rela-
tons Board today.
A federation attack Of serious
proportions developed from the
board decision in the Consolidated
Edison Company case, void!ng A.
F. Of L. union contracts. The
union affected, the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Work
ers, went so far as to demand re.
peal of the labor relations act
and dissolution Of the board. It's
president, Dan w. Tracy, holly
stated the labor board was
doomed.
PLAN COURT CONTEST
More important, the electrical
workers, and the A. F. Of L. itself,
announced that the boards de-
cision would be contested in the
courts until every legal refuge is
exhausted.
The decision came as Federation
President William Green called at
the White House and laid before
President Roosevelt a portfolio Of
more than a dozen complaints
against board policies. These re.
lated that the labor board has
exercised bias against the fedora
ton, in favor Of the Go.
GREEN ON WARPATH
In the Consolidated Edison case,
the board found the company
executives imposed" the IBEW
upon its employees, and discouraged
membership among its workers in
the CIO-affiliated United Elec-
trical workers, formally Vrecogniz-
ing the IBEW as collective bar
gaining agent for the employees. In
view of these findings, the NLRB
ruled the contracts between the
Edison company and the IBEW
invalid.
Green himself was the first to
retaliate.
"The decision is outrageous"
he said. ut outrages the very
provisions Of the labor act it.
self. There is nothing in the
law which provides that the
board can invalidate a con-
tract"
Shortly thereafter, the IBEW
president issued his own caustic
statement.
