Bethesda Man Tells of 2 Weeks
In Hidden New Guinea Valley
Natives Viewed Grew
Of BunfieId's Crashed
Plane as Gods

A fortnight in hidden New
Guinea Valley was a thrilling expert
ence for school teacher, but mot
one I would care to repeat" Maj.
Paul L. Banfield, who recently re-
turned from the South Pacific to
resume his duties as headmaster of
the Landon School for Boys at Be
thesda, said yesterday in recount
ing his experiences when his plane
was forced down in the jungles of
New Guinea.
On a special mission last fall as
aide to Maj. Gen. st. Clair Street,
commanding officer of the 18th Air
Force, Maj. Banf1eld and seven 9TH
er men landed in a hidden valley
deep in the jungles in the Northern
tip of New Guinea. II never expect
to see anything as beautiful as the
flowers and birds, and the food was
wonderful" he recalled, but we
had some anxious moment before
we could enjoy them"
Scarcely had the plane come to
rest on the ledge of a cliff, Maj.
Banfield said, when they heard
screaming and shouting. Not more
than 300 feet from them were about
600 natives Their faces were paint
ed red and yellow and they wore
bustles and headdresses of Birds of
Paradise feathers.
"All they wanted was to touch us.
They thought We were gods coming
down in a big bird And then the
thrilling part began" he said.
There were about 100000 natives
in the valley with no contact with
civilization. Efforts to talk in pidgin
English were futile, so Maj. Banfleld
and the others in the group used
sign language to express their wants.
The tribe, Maj. Banf1eld said, was
one they knew about" 1t had a
record of cruelty and we knew unless
we catered to them we would "be in
the pot, literally"
After walking about 20 miles to
the village, the group was quartered
for II days in the grass shack of the
chief. They we're greeted by about
$4,000 natives. were given a sing
sing" and% 900 pigs were roasted
over fires, with the natives wearing
their colorful plumage in honor of
the gods" Later in the evening
several minor chiefs brought their
young daughters to men as gifts
They were very dirty and were
covered with pig grease to keep
warm" Maj. Banfield said.
Afraid of insulting the natives,
they put the girls at the far end
of their shack and, cutting hole in
the other end, slept with their
heads in the open.
Before they were rescued by planes
the natives staged a special exhibit
ton of craftsmanship with their
bows and arrows for the Americans,
which Maj. Banfleld described as
truly wonderful"
AS souvenirs of his stay in the
valley, Maj. Banfield brought back
about 25 jade axes, a half dozen
spears and nearly 100 arrows.
