Go To Alaska, It's Not So Rough;
 Explorer Advises
Minneapolis Star-JournaD

If Peter Freuchen were about 40 years younger and an American, he'd head for Alaska to make his home and fortune.
 As it is, the 6l-year-old Danish born explorer and author plans to take things easy" from now on by going back this summer to Greenland, where he has spen. much of the last four decades.
 For the bearded adventurer il will be his first return to "lo.Ae" soil since shortly before VIE day when he interrupted his anti-Naz underground activity to v.si Washington at behest of the Dan iSh legation.
 Capt. Freuchen spoke at a Uni versity of Minnesota convection today on his life in the Arctic and future prospects for the area.
 Stretching his lean, 6-foot, 5- inch frame in hiS Curtis hotel room as he prepared for the talk, Freuchen recalled how teams of five to 10 men were usually the largest patrols to go into the far north when he first took up the life following his graduation from University of Copenhagen 40 years ago.
 Now, the Arctic has been con- verted into new frontier" he commented, "and the United States and Canadian armies, and I pre- sume the Soviet army, too, have thousands of men up there testing the weather and living conditions"
 People are not frightened by the Arctic as they once were, he added.
 Tt really is not as cold as Min nesota sometimes gets," the ex- plorer explained. Winter lasts longer, that's all"
 That's why Freuchen can't un- Ierstand why more young Amer jeans don't strike out for Alaska.
 "I'd choose that for my state if I were an American" he observ- ed. There you will find rich farm ing, lumber, minerals, fish, fur and gold. Unlike Greenland, which $ 98 per cent ice-covered, Alaska has limitleSs possibilities"

of art objects and relics is a plaque
or breastplate of Jadeite-dating
from about the 9th century.
Apple-green and white in color
the plaque is some s inches long, 4
high and / thick. Its carved sur
face depicts priest or ruler seated
on a dais decorated with a human
face flanked by astronomical
symbols. The faces of various Maya
gods are carved around the edge
of the plaque, framing the seated
figure, whose pose, alert and filled
with movement, is characteristic of
the greatest period of Mayan art.
The back of the plaque Is highly
polished.
Through the jade from side to
side the ancient craftsman, who had
no metal tools, drilled a hole an
eighth of an inch in diameter to
accommodate the cord or sinew by
which the breastplate was suspended
around the neck of its wearer.
Pottery Whistle Uncovered.
The use of such breastplates as
this is indicated in the costume of
a pottery f1gurine- whistle. dating
also from the ninth century, which
was found in collapsed tomb near
the spot where the excavators came
on the urn containing the breast
plate as well as q number of other
jadeite carvings.
The fgurine, about eight inchs in
height, represents a priest wearing
a bird headdress painted blue, and,
about the neck, jade necklace and
breastplate, painted green.
Extending backward from the feet
OF the figure is mouthpiece, and
stophole appear in the back of the
figure itself. to make a whistle some
what resembling an ocarina. These
ritual whistles were used in the re-
ligious ceremonies of the Maya.
A third notable find among the
scores of relics recovered is an
alabaster vase, some ten inches in
height and ten in diameter.
Made in about the twelfth century
of the Christian era, this example
of Mayan art is unique in work
manship and size. The ancient
artists pecked it too rough shape
from the original block of material
with stone tools, ground it from
rough to finished form bys hand

and carved with stone tools the
delicate fluting which decorates the

The walls of the vase are but
three -eighths inch, creamy white in
color. with still lighter banding, ano
so translucent that they transmit a

Discovery of artistic treasures in
an ancient Mayan burial mound In
the little-knoWn highlands of Qua
ten.ala was announced last night by
the Carnegie Institution Of Wash
ington.
They represent craftsmanship
spanning some seven or eight cen
turies and contribute new knowledge
of the skill and customs OF the
Mayas. These Indians were the most
brilliant exponents of higher abor-
iginal culture in the Western world
in the days before Columbus.
Along with art objects unearthed
from the mound - including "the
finest single example Of Mayan jade
carving yet brought to light
Carnegie archeologists also found
graves dating from the fourth or
fifth to the twelfth century OF the
Christian era.
The mound is near the village OF
Nebaj ard is one of twelve such
burial sites there. Carnegie re-
searchers. headed by DR.. A. Ledyard
Smith. opened another one in 1916,
but ten still are untouched.
THE long period of use of the
Nebaj site by the Maya, as indicated
by the time span of the graves
found this year" said a Carnegie
announcement, suggests that it was
once the focus of powerful and
wealthy people and that it was
regarded as an especially holy place.
This latter indication is sup
ported by the fact that the present
day descendants of the ancient
Maya in the region have created or
inherited names for all the mounds
at Nebai and make daily sacrifices
of flowers and incense before them
in a ritual curiously combining
elements of Christian and pagan
burials"

Russia's S Differences
With j. 5. Threaten
To STALL u. n. Work
BY the Asseeiofed Press


LAKE SUCCESS, June 14.-Dif-
ferences between Russia and the
United States threatened today to
stall world peace-keeping machin-
cry on all fronts.
This was underlined sharply by
Soviet and American deadlocks in
the United Nations on Interna
tional atomic controls, reduction Of
Norld armaments, and establish
bent of global police force.
The situation was emphasized by
Si1ief American Delegate Warren r.
Austin who declared in Boston yes
terday that the present tension be-
tween the East and West, particu-
larly between the United States and
Russia, was delaying the establish
rnent of peace machinery.
!, Only the Palestine issue was thus
far considered relatively free Of
Russian-Western differences This
may be because none of the Big
Five is represented on the u N.
Holy Land inquiry commission.
Notified of Arab Boycott.
Nevertheless, the Palestine COM
mission has come up against snat
as it prepares to begin its investiga-
tion in Jerusalem Monday.
The Arab Higher Committee for
Palestine formally notified Secre-
tary-General Trygve Lie that it
would boycott the Holy Land in
quiry.
East and West differences in the
Balkan investigation group also
were famed anew as Yugoslavia
charged that the conduct of Mark
r. Ethridge, American members of
the commission, had "imperilled"
the work of that group and "the
authority of the United aNtions."
The Yugoslav charges were based
on statements Mr.. Ethridge made in
an interview last Monday in which
he asserted that Bulgaria, Albania
and Yugoslavia we're "arming, train
ing, supplying and giving hospital
ization and refuge to guerrilla
forces operating in Northern
Greece"
Mr.. Ethridge's comment on the
charges, which were submitted in
letter to Mr., Lie by Yugoslav Am
bassador Sava N Kosanovic, was
nuts" The American representa-
tive pointed out, however, that the
commission in its report said ap-
proximately the same thing, by
vote Of to 2.
Showdown Battle Expected.
The Security Council is scheduled
to meet A week from Monday to
consider the report which held
Yugoslavia primarily responsible
for supporting the Greek guerrillas
and held Albania and Bulgaria
blameworthy to a lesser degree.
Most delegates expected a show
down fight between Russia and the
Western powers when the report is
submitted
Meanwhile, the Balkan commits
sion prepared to meet Monday to
see how it can assist the Security
Council during discussion of the
explosive issue.
At the end of a week of new at
tempts to reconcile American and
Russian views. both the Atomic
Energy Commission and the Com
mission on Conventional Arma-
ments remained deadlocked on
plans for tackling the two issues.
Atomic Group Sets Meeting.
Russia warned that the arma-
ments commission might fail in its
assigned task unless 1t accepts a
Soviet demand to link the atomic
control problem with arms limita-
ton.
The Atomic Energy Commissions
working committee scheduled an
other meeting for Tuesday IN an
other effort to reconcile Russian
and American views on an interna-
tional system for atomic control.
