part.
His friends said that he has
many friends here among scient-
fic. governmental and aviation au-
thorities and limited that he may

q lower jaw with large teeth and
considerable part Of a broken
skull in Java near the site where
this oldest human being was sup
posed to have lived.

est in exhibits related TO his own
research. A demonstration with
charts and microscopic slide on
embryology held his attention.
This was companion field to the
work that Lindbergh and DR.. Al
exis Carrel, Nobel prize winner,
performed in pcrfecting meckan-
ical heart to keep tissue alive.

in exhibits dealing with radio
fadeouts and measuring gravity
