Discover Ancient sculnturs.

Five colossal stone heads were
among the remains Of a prehistoric
Indian ceremonial center excavated
in the jungles of southern Mexico
by an expedition of the National
Geographic society and the Smith

gigantic basalt heads were similar
to others found in previous seasons.
the newly-uncovered ones are bet

Nebraska investigators spread out
over a wide area today seeking
the slayer of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert

TONERS who were shot last Thurs
day near Omaha.
One Omaha detective was at
Waupun, Wis, to question three
brothers sentenced to the State
prison Tuesday for a Madison fill
ing station holdup.f
Although they told police they
attempted thefts in Rock Island
and Rockford, Ill, and st. Louis,
Mo-, the brothers claim they were
in Madison at the time of the slay-
ings.
After questioning them. the
Omaha officer will go to Ottumwa,
Iowa, to interview two soldiers
AWOL from Lowry Field, Colo. Wit
nesses have told Ottumwa police
they saw the youths in nearby Keo-
sauqua, Iowa, about the time the
Slayings occurred.
In still another phase of the in
vestigation, Sheriff William Dor
rance and Deputy Ernest Fee OF
Douglas County, Nebr, are attempt
ing to retrace the route taken by
the Mays from Denver to Omaha.
Capt. Harry Green Of the Omaha
Detective Bureau said three suspects
are being held there, more on a rou-
tine pickup basis than on evidence
of guilt. Two of them were arrest
ed as they attempted to catch a
ride on a highway. Since the word
has spread that the Mays were
slain by hitch hikerS, it has been
almost impossible to thumb ride In
the Omaha area, Capt. Green said.

U.S.. Industry Will Weather
Export Crisis Analysts Agree

would stop buying American food
stuffs and buy only from sterling
countries" Washington Immediate
ly said that grain allocated to Eng
land would be kept in the general
export pool for use in any emer-
gency, thus leaving the supply avail
able to the American consumer just
where it was Exports of unproc-
essed foods dropped from $50, 1000 900
in May to $50 $4,000 in June, and of
processed foods from $144 500, 900 in
May to $137 1000 in June.
Backlog of Auto Orders.
Cotton-Britain has been buying
for it's large textile industry the cot
ton of Brazil India and Egypt
whenever possible and is expected to
buy even less American cotton next
year than this.
Automobiles spokesmen
said exports have been around S per
cent of production. Even if all ex-
ports ceased, the industry's backlog
of orders for passenger cars is so big
that it would not be felt for many
months Prices, they added, would
not be affected. In may new cars
valued at $35, 100000 were exported,
anad in June the value dropped to
$27, 100000.
Used cars-There was a sharper
drop in the expectation of used
cars-from 81, ,754, 600 in May to ST.
O61 600 in June. The slump in the
used-car export business came when
countries like Brazil and Mexico
stopped the lucrative process of re-
shipping American used cars to
countries which could not buy them
from us directly. In this field, too,
automobile spokesmen insisted that
The domestic demand was strong
enough to keep prices up for months
no matter what happened to the ex-
port business.
Machinery-1n spite Of huge
worldwide need for machinery re-
placements, American exports
dropped from $145, 300 900 in May to
$1O9, ,500,00 in June. Shortage OF
dollars abroad was blamed by the
industry, since machinery remained
on the essential" lists Of most
countries.
Will Allocate Steel Anew.
Steel-Also remained on the "es-
sentiaI' lists, and will be put back
on a licensing basis by the Govern
ment October / to allocate it to the
countries most needing it. Steel
mill products exported in May were
valued at $36, 100000 and in June
at $32, 100000. Iron and steel "ad-
vanced manufactures" were put at
$24 50O,O 900 in May and $23,800, 900
in June.
Electrical machinery and products
May exports were $55, 100000 and
June 48,200,00 Exports of radios
and radio apparatus increased to
$11 100000 in June from $11. .400, 900
in May, reversing the trend Of most
other items.
Motion pictures-Hollywood long
had the axiom that it broke even
on domestic business and made its
profits from showing its films
abroad. Dollar conscious countries
have been restricting importation of
American pictures, and when Eng
land clamped rs per cent tax on
profits. the American producers an
nounced they would send no more
films to England. The growing
tendency abroad to contract or
eliminate importation of luxuries
and amusements has the film in
dustry worried.
Rubber products-Spokesmen said
exports had fallen off slightly"
since June. but that figures were
unavailable.

British Miners Strike
Continues 10 Spread;
Nearly $4,000 Idle
BY the A.soeioted Press

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Wild
cat strike in the nationalized
British coal mines spread to two
more pits today, leaving nearly
$4,000 men idle and aggravating
the British fuel shortage.
A total of 4s pits in Yorkshire
were closed by the strike.
Production elsewhere was cur
tailed, imperiling the government
recovery program centered around
factory output for export.
The British Press Association said
the Sheffield Gas Co.. serving some
of the largest British steel produc-
ers, had asked industrial consumers
for cuts up to "as much as so per
cent"
The dispute. which may soon cause
2,400 Yorkshire industrial plants
employing over 100000 workers to
shut down for lack of fuel, began
three weeks ago among 1000 miners
at the Grimethorpe pit.
Pleas to Return Ignored.
The miners refused to comply
with an order by the National Coal
Board that they dig two feet more
of coal each day. When the board,
which administers Britain's nation
allied mines for the government,
,o1IaI frr farv,, 1 =, a fiox, of %l,o;r 49,,
tracts, they struck and sympathy
walkouts in other mines followed.
Despite pleas of Joseph Hall,
president Of the Yorkshire area of
the National Union of Mine Work
ers, that they 60 back to work, the
Grimethorpe miners said they would
not return to the pits until the coal
board gives in.
The National Union, participating
in the British Trades Union Con-
gress at Southport, called on the
Grimethorpe strikers to return to
work and promised the appoint
ment of fact-finding committee to
investigate the situation.
Consumption Reduced.
Effects of the strike already have
been felt widely. Industrial gas con-
sumers in Sheffield were directed
last night to cut fuel consumption
by so per cent because of de-
crease in the supply from coke
ovens.
A IS per cent reduction in gas
consumption was reported by the
Barnsley and District Coke Co.,
which supplies some other sections
of Yorkshire outside of Sheffield.
To date, the walkout has caused
the loss of nearly 100000 tons of
coal and the loss is continuing at
the rate of 10000 tons daily.
The last big mine strike oc-
Cured in March. 1914, when 100000
Yorkshire miners stayed out for a
month in a wage dispute which
they finally won. In 1887, $4,000
miners struck in Yorkshire and were
out for 10 days.
