Ancient Wooden
Gears Found In
South Carolina

State College, Pa, Feb. 9.-(AP)-
A set of wooden mill gears dug up
in South Carolina may be zone of the
oldest pieces of machinery in Amer
lea" and possibly clue to the Lost
Colony of Roanoke Island, Prof. p. w.
Dedrick, authority on old American
mills, said today.
The gears, fashioned from southern
oak. were found by an Orangeburg,
S. c., banker while digging on the
site of an old millpond near Orange
burg. ri
The banker sent a section to Ded-
rick, retired mill expert of Pennsyl-
vania State college.
Dedrick decided the gears, APP
parently the part of three separate;
pieces of machinery, had been buried
at least 200 years and might possibly
have been buried as long as 300 years.
"They might even be a clue to the
Lost Colony of Roanoke Island whose
people disappeared and might possi-
blv have fled or migrated into South
Carolina.," he said.

kish government today dismissed 100
German technicans employed by the
war and naval ministries and gave
them 48 hours to leave Turkey.

Officials said that henceforth no
German could work in state-owned
industries. This was believed to af-
feet several hundred men in addition

To Finland
Is Doubtful

Washington, Feb. 9.-(AP)-Pres-
idcnt Roosevelt said today that he
doubted whether tie United States
would sell any guns directly to Fin

gagged in armed conflict.
Asked whether Finland could OBJ
tain any military supplies in this
country in view of the fact she
was engaged in an undeclared war
with Russia the chief executive cX-
pressed doubt this would be done.
He emphasized that in discussing
possible arms sale he was talking
about countries at peace.
He said he was checking up yes

considered surplus supplies.
On Capitol Hill the state depart

legal advisor as having no objection
TO sale of Finnish government
bonds to private investors in this

supplies.
