should never have happened ac- cording to long-held theories on the age of the Eskimo, pr. Frank c. Hibben, curator of the Univer- sity of New Mexico Museum of Anthropology, says.
 Back from an Alaskan field trip, Dr. Hibben said the bones recently discovered there had aroused a series of new anthropological ques- tions.
 Anthrolologists have claimed that the Eskimo dated back only a few hundred years before Christ, where as the Pleistocene gravel has an age of 10000 years B. O., Dr. Hib- ten said.
 He advanced the theory that the Eskimo fell into a crevice during some ice-age hunt, and may not be as old as the gravel in which he was found
 The skull of the skeleton, he re- ported, has all Eskimo character istics.
 On the basis of his privately financed Alaskan trip, Dr. Hibben said he hoped to show how group of people older than those of the Folsom culture came to New Mexico during the last inter Glacial period.

NEW CREDIT FOR BRITAIN
 IS LOOMING
Big Loan of Three, Half Billion Swiftly Disdp-
 bearing Is Report

WOODSTOCK, Eng, Aug. 4.-CR Winston Churchill pledged today that his Conservative party would back any efforts of the Labor government to obtain easements Of the swiftly disappearing $3,750,- 000000 U. s. loan and to obtain new American credits.
 Churchill, in party speech, said some of the loan conditions alarmed" him, particularly the clause obligating Britain to make current sterling transactions by British customers freely convertible into dollars.
 However I relied, and rely now, on the wisdom of the fair-minded American people to make the necessary easements, without which a policy for which they have made heavy sacrifices will certainly fail in its effects" the wartime Prime Minister said.

WATERFRONT TIE-UP LOOKS CERTAIN FOR NOON HOUR TUESDAY
DeadIine Sei by local Longshoremen with No
 Solution in Sight

With tomorrow at 12 noon the strike headline set by the Juneau local of the International Long, shoremen and Warehousemen's Union, and no solution in sight, it nppeared inevitable this afternoon that the Juneau waterfront would be tied up.
 After an all-day meeting in Seat tie last Thursday between repre- sentatives of the three steamship companies and MT. Gettings of the International union, the parties were unable to agree on master contract
 Main obstacle to agreement is a paragraph in the contract proposed by the ILWU which would excuse the union or it's officials from any liability in case of strike, The steamship companies will not accept the provision. and the union has re- mained firm on it's inclusion.

At Bethel, an Els kimo travelled eight days with his small daughter, who had a serious eye condition, in order to take her to the specialist Many bone and general operations were performed by the medical men.
 Tuberculosis. the most critical health problem facing the Terri tory today, was given special at- tention by the doctors. Dr. Bern- stein gave the following figures based on the death rate of TB patients; the overall incidence of TB in Alaska is ten times greater than in the States and the incl dence among the white people is two times greater. The group es- inmates that for every death in TB, there are ten active cases, which brings the estimated incidence of TB to the total of 4.500 active cases. The group also found marked increase of bone tuberculosis over the States, which accounts for the many crippled children in the ter ritory

George V. Allen Considered
For Voice Of America Post

George V. Allen, career diplomat
now serving as Ambassador to Iran,
is being considered for possible ap-
pointment as Assistant Secretary of
State in charge of the Voice of
America broadcasts and other for
eign information and cultural activ-
tiles of the department.
The chief stumbling block to his
appointment. it is understood, is the
problem of finding a properly quail
ifed man to succeed him in the
hot spot of chief of the Embassy
in Iran, in view of that little coun-
try's troubles with Russia.
Officials said Mr.. Aliens name
was under active consideration for
the Assistant Secretary appointment,
but the matter had not gone far
enough for him to be approached
about it or for it to be put up to
Secretary of State Marshall for de-
cision.
Several other names were said to
be still under consideration for the
information post, which has been
vacant since William Benton's resig-
nation several weeks ago.

An egg with a cold may help solve
the mystery of human sniffleS.
In a report made public today
two research physicians of the Ma
tional Institute of Health state they
have isolated and preserved in egg
embryos for Up to three weeks an
agent of one type of common cold.
Insofar as is known in medical
circles here. it is the first report
of success in this experiment.
Discussing the achievement eau
tiously at a press conference, the
physicians. Drs. Norman H. Top
ping and Leon T. Atlas, appraised
it as a step toward understanding of
a battling group of minor respiratory
ailments popularly Jumped together
as "the common cold" Very little
is known yet about the character OF
this agent, 1t was emphasized.
Inmates Volunteered.
The isolation and preservation
was accomplished with the cooper
alton of volunteers selected from
among prisoners at the District Re-
formatory. Lorton. Va. The Ma
tional Institute of Health has been
conducting a cold research project
there for several months.
DR.. Topping, already known wide
" in research circles for his pro-
ductive studies of the Rickettsia
group of diseases. has not seen this
mysterious agent-the something
capable of giving a person a cold
after being kept in an egg under
-refrigera tion for weeks.
DR.. r. w. G. Wyckoff of the in
stitute has glimpsed 1t under the
powerful electron microscope, how
ever, and has described it as being
approximately the size OF the in
f1uenza virus. although readily dis
tinguishable from the latter.
Although obviously pleased with
the progress. DR.. Topping was quick
to warn against talk of an early cure
of the cold. All that is new. he
pointed out, is that IAN agent that
produces consistently symptoms of
the common cold in humans" anG
which. apparently, is not affected
by penicillin and streptomycin, has
been passed from human to human
with an intermediate visit to another
living organisn-the embryo in a
fertilized hens egg.
Previously. he explained, the study
of a colds infectiousness had pro-
pressed only to the person to- person
transfer of nasal waShings without
successful preservation Of the agent
in a living thing other than a
human being.
Multiplicity of Ailments.
DR.. Topping said it was his opinion
there is no such thing as the
common cold. Perhaps. he sug-
eested. the hard cold and the
"soft" cold, in their varying mani
festations constitute multiplicity
of different ailments.
Now that one agent has been kept
alive for a protracted period OUTSIDE
human being. he said, maybe its
habits can be learned and, eventu-
ally, something may be done to tight
1t effectively.
The agent-V-14-A in the code
system OF the cold research project
was isolated after more than 100
unsuccessful attempts.
The cold used for the productive
experiment was found in the nose
of a pathologist who was seeking a
fellowship at the institute.
