DESIGNS CARVED
BY INDIANS HOLD
NO SIGNIFICANCE
Merely Passing Time,
Says Dr.. Steward

No, the Southwestern Indians
we're not marking the spot where
they buried their treasure when
they carved designs on smooth
boulders and the faces of cliffs.
Nor, according to DR.. Julian H.
Steward, of the Smithsonian In.
stitution, were they making re-
cordings of a lost writ te n
language.
DR.. Steward scoffs at the no
tion that such markings resemble
letters of the European alphabet,
indicating contact with white
men, whether from the lost At
lantis or the early Northmen,
who might have reached this
country before Columbus.
In fact, he says, the ancient
Indian artists who made the
drawings were merely passing the
time of day.
I'm view of the great trouble
which white men frequently
take to deface rocks and trees
with names and initials, espe-
cially where other persons have
done so before them" he said,
lit would be foolish to suppose
the motives of the prehistoric
Indians were not sometimes
equally trivial

RENLEIN TO SEE HITLER

Meanwhile, negotiations between
government leaders and the
Eudetens continued. Minister of
the Interior Czerny conferred at
length with Sudeten deputies over
the advisability Of promulgating
new regulations for the border dis
tricts. Prohibition Of alcohol was
among the subjects discussed. Both
sides are convinced that most of
the provocative incidents Of late
have resulted from drunken
brawls.
It was understood that Konrad
Henlein, Sudeten leader, was on
his way to Berchtesgaden to inter
view Hitler. Viscount Runciman,
who conferred at length with PreSi-
dent BeneS today, was reported
disturbed because Henlein failed
to see him first.
