G.N.S.) State attorneys gen.

II States and several municipal
ties met here today with Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau and
Undersecretary Roswell Magill in
an attempt to secure pledge that
the Federal Government would
not try to collect back taxes from
State employees.
The meeting stemmed from the
recent Supreme Court decision
holding the government could levy
income taxes on employees of the
Port of New York Authority. The
decision was interpreted to mean
that several classificationS Of EN-.

for back taxes.
Attorney General John ]. Ben

be seen quite clearly.
The idea has practical uses in
eye medicine. For instance, in the
case of an old cataract, the doctor
does rot know whether the pro-
longed presence Of the opacity has
caused atrophy of the retina or
not. Eyes do deteriorate from hav-
ing light shut off from them. The
cataract prevents the patient from
seeing print or light and the doc
tor from examining the retina with
an opllthalmoscope. Here the
X-ray comes in. It can penetrate
the eyelid and the cataract both,
and if it be turned on in such an
instance and the patient sees light,

Also in the case of foreign bodies
in the eye. Small pieces Of steel
can penetrate the eyeball and re-
main inside. When small they may
be very difficult to locate, or even
their presence at all may be doubt
full. If the X-ray is turned on such
an object the patient sees every
thing light except the foreign body,
which will appear as a dark object
in the field of vision. BY using a
metallic grid, the patient can point
out the exact location of this body
inside the eyeball.
Injury to the retina-the seeing
part of the eye-can also be made
out by the patient in this way, be-
cause it appears dark to him wher
the rays are turned on.

A stadium with a seating capacity
of at least 5000, moat-encircled
ruins of town, and lowered r.
room building are among the re-
mains of an ancient civilization bur-
led in the thick jungles of Campeche
in Southern Mexico, land now ira
versed chiefly by wandering chicle
hunters, found in reconnaissance
just reported by archeologists of the
Carnegie Institute of Washington.
Altogether the party, led by DR..
Karl Rupert and entering by air
plane region of dense forests hith-
erto penetrable only with pack mules,
located the ruins of IL towns which
flourished long before the discovery
of America and presumably were
built by close relatives of the Maya
Indians.
Used for Ball Games.
For the most part these were small
places with few substantial build
ings. The town of the stadium was
an outstanding exception There
was level area, about so by 10
yards, surrounded by a continuous
mound which was broken in four
places for entrances. An examina-
ton OF the inclosing wall showed
that it had been lined on the inner
side by a series of from 18 to 20
steps. These constituted the seats
of the ancient starium.
The place was probably used. the
archeologists believe, for religious
ceremonies and ball games. A game
IN which solid rubber ball was
bounced back and forth from the
hips of the players with the object
of getting it through a ring, as in
present-day basket ball, was popu-
lar among the Mayes, and contests

with many variations. extended
northward as far as New Mexico and
Arizona and in Central Mexico had
the patronage of the Montezumas.
Even in the Maya heyday, however,
the Campeche region was probably
bush-league territory. The ruins
around the ancient stadium indi-
Gated the largest town in the re-
gion. The remains of several large
buildings were made out, each with
elaborate, stucco-decorated facades.
Moat- -EncircIed Town.
Not far from a little lake in the
same general region the explorers
came on the ruins of another town,
represented now only by few low
mounds except for the remains of
single remarkable structure. This
made up one side of the town plaza.
1t has IL large rooms and three
towers, one at either end and one
in the center. The latter was more
than so feet high. All the towers
were semi-circular and had false
stairways," which were ornamented
with great stucco masks. The build
ing might have been roughly similar
in appearance to medieval castle.
The moat-encircled town. adding
still more to the medieval impress
sion, was few miles from the same
lake in a different direction.
The number of ruins still discern
ible indicate that the region must
have been at one time a fourishing
population center. Difficulty of ac-
cess has deferred previous explorers.

1T depends upon how successful

Fortunately for all Of us there is a

But before they can be utilized We

The Carnegie party found, however,
that several of the mounds had been
opened by chicle hunters in search
of buried treasure.
Bowl at Copan.
DR.. George Stromsvik of the Car
negie archaeological staff reported
the finding of another large ball
court in the ruins of the ancient
Maya city of Copan in Honduras
This was presumably big league
bowl where star athletes bumped
rubber balls back and forth before
cheering crowds more than a thou
sand years ago. Excavations show
that it was the third similar stadium
on the same site. 1t consisted of a
long, rectangular playing area
bounded on either side by a low, ver-
tically-faced bench from which slop-
ing surfaces rise to a second vertical
wall. On each wall were mounted
three great stone parrot heads, All
these heads had fallen down. 1t has
been possible however, to locate
their original bases and they will be
replaced. The floor of the playing
court was paved with fiat stones.
These have been distorted by pres
sure of tree roots and 1t will be nee
essary to relay them.
Along one wall was found a band
of hieroglyphic inscriptions from
which it is hoped to find the ap-
proXimate date when the stadium
was built One incised stone in this
band was reAoved and the archeol-
ogists found on its back another in
scription showing that it had been
taken from another ball court on the
same site. They found a date which
they interpreted as indicating that
the old court had been in use for
200 years before it grew too anti
quated for the fans of ancient
Copan.
