ASSA|LS PROTEST
ON JEWISH ACTOR
West Replies Sharply to
Complaint on Appearance
on Scout Program.

In an exchange of correspondence
made public today, the Boy Scouts Of
America revealed the sharply worded
answer made by Chief Scout Exec
utive James Z. West to . protest
by the Militant Christian Patriots
against the scout organizations per.
hitting Jewish entertainer to appear
on one Of Its programs.
The letter Of protest was written by
Warren Weston. spokesman for the
Militant Christian Patriots, in regard
to appearance Of . well-known stage
and radio entertainer on q Court Of
Honor program given by the Scouts
at the Pasadena (Calif.) Civic Audi
torium on March 81. Mr.. Weston said
that in view Of the fact "Jewry organ
lies Jewish boys and girls In special
Jewish youth organizations into which
Christian youth Is never admitted
Christian parents have, there
fore, the right to demand that every
thing provided for their children
should be on Christian lines
Mr.. Vests reply, dated June IA,
follows in part:
1T is amazing that one who at
tempts to represent an organization
which claims to have commendahle
purposes should reveal such misunder-
standing as evidenced by your letter,

changed and the old bed filed up with
gravel: it remains a gravel pit today.
As described by DR.. A. T. Marston,
English anthropologist, the skull frag-
ments found in this gravel are decid-
edly those of a subhuman creature,
compared with man of today. Efforts
to fit the two pieces together indicate
that the head must have been carried
at a different angle than that of the
present human race, indicating dl-
ferent balance on the spine. When a
reconstruction is made it shows that
the total brain capacity of the skull,
calculated by Marston, was only a
little over 1000 cubic centimeterS,
compared to an average of about 1900
for modern man and only little above
the 900 cubic centimeters of the small
est normal human brains.
But Prof w. E. lie Gros Clark and
DR.. c. M. Morant of Cambridge
University who also have studied re-
construction from these fragments
differed sharply on this point DR..
Clark estimated that the cranial capa-

got a good foothold in Western Eu-
rope during the first stage OF the Wurm
glaciation which followed the warm
interglacial period of elephants and
rhinoceroses Then right in the middle
Of this great glaciation there was a
brief warmer interval, when the an
cestors OF present-day man really es-
tablished themselves as European set
tiers.
No Evidence Ever Found.
Then he spread out over the land,
and this apparently was the time Of
his great conflict with the less human
and less adaptable Neanderthalers
which resulted in their final extinc-
ton or absorption. Another Ice Age
followed-the Second Wurm Period
and when 1t ended the Neanderthalers
were gone and homo sapiens in COM
plete control. But there has been
found nowhere any evidence of the
nature Of this first Armageddon, which
made possible the establishment OF
modern man.
At still later stage. while Western
Europe still was ice-bound, these
ancient men found shelter in French
and Spanish caves and painted on
the walls pictures of the animals they
hunted. These paintings have been
held up rs masterpieces of primitive
art, but when they are closely studied
they show some curious mistakes, it
was reported by DR.. Percy Leason,
English anthropologist. The ancient
artist tried to depict his animals in
motion, just as they were when he
was throwing spears at them. They
were shown on tiptoe. as If running,
but with the leg muscles actually
relaxed. Yet the anatomical details,
DR.. Leason said, show that the ancient
artists knew their animals.
Combining this with other evidence,
he concluded that the caveman paint
ers made long and intensive studies
of the dead bodies of these animals
and never suspected that their ap-
pearance might differ when they were
alive.

man. 1t was a thick skull and had
various other peculiarities. He in
sisted, however. that all these could
be duplicated among persons living
today. Thus this ancient youth, who
may have thrown stones from SAFE
distance at ice-age elephants. may have
been closer to the actual ancestry
of present day man than ever the much
debated Neanderthalers.
Cave-Deposit History.
A long sequence of mans pre-his-
tory, as shown by layers Of deposits in
cave near Jerusalem, was reported
by DR.. Dorothy E. Garrod, who di-
rected the cave excavations. The deep
est levels, she said, show a very crude
form of faxed stone industry. which,
the geological evidence indicates, dates
from very early stage of the So
called Riss-Wurm interglacial period
a warm interval in the approximately
million years when Central Europe
and North America again and again
were buried deep under ice.
The next stage is represented by
better made artifacts corresponding
closely to those found in the same
English gravel deposit which yielded
the skull of the drowned boy. Only
at the next succession of deposits. with
changes in the style of the taking
were actual human remains found
and these are probably identical with
those of Neanderthalers.
There is evidence that the Neander-
thaler culture held on in parts OF
France and Italy long after a popula-
ton indistinguishable from modern
man, the Aurignacians Of the an.
thropologists, had become well es-
tablished. it was reported by DR.. r. e

Boy, IA, Goes Out Into World
To Battle for Family of Fiue
Philip DuuaN Hopes to
Return to Fill Place
of Father.

Once before-only last week-l4-
year-old Philip Duvall tried to get out
in the world so he could make some
money and be help to his widowed
mother and four brothers and sisters.
Philip spent one night in park then
came trudging home. He told his
mother he just couldn't make himself
go.
Since that time, though, he has been
thinking more and more about it. His
father, j. P. M. Duvall, a real estate
dealer, died last Christmas, and Philip
wanted to 60 out and make something
of himself and maybe take his father
place as head of the family in their
home at $500 Ninth street N. w.
Last night Mrs. Duvall called down
in the basement, where Philip was
working on his bicycle, and told him
she wanted him to do something for
her.
Just minute, mother" Philip
called back Il want to 60 down to
the corner and get some air for my
tires I'll do 1t soon as I get back"
Mrs. Duvall believed later she heard
little catch in her sons voice.
He never came back
AS the hours passed. Mrs. Duvall
began to worry and finally she dis
covered a note written in a boyish
scrawl 1t was a letter from Philip
telling her he was going away-"really.
this time" 1t told her he was going
to get job so he could send some
money home. Then, when he was l8,
he was going to join the Army, but
would get out when he was 81 and
come back home and be head of the
family. He asked his mother to save
his fathers ring for him.
Strong and husky for his age,
Philip was dressed in long tan trousers
and a dark blue shirt when he left
home, pedaling out into a pretty
tough old world on his newly painted
aluminium colored bicycle.
In his pocket he carried $23. Sci
squarely on his head, at manly angle
was his battered little baseball cap.

FASC|ST-VAT|CAN
DISPUTE SETTLED
Accord Is Reached Between
Party and Catholic
Action Chief.
BY the Associated Press.

.
ROME, Aug. 20.-The Fascist party
today announced an agreement ending
the recently growing friction between
Eascism and Catholic Action, lay or
ganization OF the Catholic Church.
The Fascist party bulletin said that
at conference between Achille Star
ace, Fascist party secretary. and Mar
guess Lamberto vignoli, president Of
the Italian Catholic Actions central
ONCE, an agreement had been reached
"to conform to the accords reached in
1891"
The 1891 accords ended an earlier
dispute between Fascism and Catholic
Action. The settlement that year per-
mitted Catholic Action to function In
Italy. but limited its scope to purely
religious and spiritual matters.
Catholic Action has been under at
tack recently by . part Of the Fascist
press.
Drive on Jewish Journalists.
Informed Fascist quarters said
earlier q campaign had begun to
oust Jews and Jewish interests from
Italian journalism.
Two big newspapers possessing Jew
ish capital were said to have changed
hands within the last few days. 1t
was reported the Jewish editor of
II Corriere Adriatico had been re-
placed
Fascists said q complete purge"
of newspapers probably would follow
as part of the party's new race policy,
one slogan Of which Is mo Jews rs
public servants and one Jew per thou
sand Italians in national life"
The newspapers reported to have
changed hands were n Giornale
d'Italia. Of which Virginia Gayda,
authoritative Fascist spokesman, is
editor. and II Piccolo, published In
Trieste.
Jewish Capital in Paper.
A small amount of Jewish capital
was behind II Giornale dItalia, Rome s
most important daily, which was owned
by a group headed by Nicolo Castel-
limo and Count Giovanni Bonmartini,
neither Of whom are Jews. The new
proprietor Is said to be the Fascist
Confederation of Farm Owners.
The changes presumably will not
affect Gayda. who is non-Jewish.

that he would be given a high gov
ernment post and be replaced by
