steel. Several other similar moor
ing rocks and Norwegian old
time implements have been
found in the same part of Mime
sofa, and one by one the argu-
ments against the authenticity of
the stone seem to have been elimi-
mated.
The most sensational point in
favor of the theory of the visit by
early Scandinavians came, how
ever, twenty years ago, when a
Danish archaeological journal
published a document written in
the fourteenth century. 1t con-
tanned King Magnus' order to Paul
knutson to sail westward, and was
found by chance in the royal Ii
brary in Copenhagen. The order
read as follows:
"Magnus, by the grace Of God
king of Norway, Sweden and
Shame. sends to all men who see
or hear this letter good health
and happiness.
I'VE desire to make known that

Knutson, who shall be the COM
mandant upon the knoor, shall
have full authority to select the
men who are best suited either as
officers or men. We ask you to
accept this, our command, with
right good will for the cause, in

gent, sealed
Paul Knutson was one of the
most prominent citizens in Mag
nus kingdom and it seems reason
able that eight years could have
lapsed from the time the order
was given until the Norsemen
carved the rhinestone on the new
continent.
After the Kensington stone had
been returned to Farmer Gilman
by the University of Minnesota
fifty years ago, it rested comfort
ably in the muddy spot in the
farmers barnyard. He put it there
for everybody to step on, and for
tunately he left the face bearing
the inscription downward so that
it was preserved from injury
! Later the farmer presented it as a
gift to a Mr.. Holland, and later
it became the property of the
Alexandria, Minnesota, Chamber
OF Commerce. 1t was exhibited in
a store window on Main Street as
special attraction for tourists.
A little over a year ago, DR.. Alex
ander Wetmore, secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, directed
Dr. Waldo r. Wedel, one of this
countrys foremost experts on
Midwest archaeology, to bring the
stone to Washington for further
study.
The Kensington Stone, now rest
ing with other precious relics in
the Smithsonian Institution, has
not yet been declared genuine by
the scientists of this country and
the Smithsonian remains charac-
teristically conservative. Accord
ing to its archaeologists, nobody
could, in the present state of evil
dence, officially guarantee its gen.
uiness. In spite of all points in
favor of the relic, there still re-
mains the possibility they say,

Swedish Expert Comes TO Study
The famous Kensinqton Stone

From Sweden comes news that
the Swedish government has ap-
pointed DR.. Sven B. Jansson to
travel to United States in order to
study the famous Kensington
Stone which for many years has
puzzled the scientists in this coun-
try. If the stone is the genuine
article-and of late many new
facts have been unearthed to sub
stantiate the belief that it is-it
will be definitely established that
Scandinavians lived on this con-
tinent 100 years before Columbus
set foot on the Western Hemis-
phere.
An interesting article about the
Kensington Stone recently APP
peared in the Saturday Evening
Post, which brings forth many
reasons why it is possible that the
Norwegian knight Paul Knutson
lead an Inflated group of forty

that someone may have tried to
perpetrate a diabolically C ever
hoax. How he could fifty years or
more ago, have possessed knowl-
edge Of facts unearthed only
few years ago remains the secret
of the Smithsonian scientists.
The Saturday Evening Post ends
the fascinating article with the
following speculation as to what
became of the travelling Morse
men: THE easiest guess is that
they were massacred. There is
another possibility. The first
white travellers among the Man
dams of North Dakota, a SiouXan
tribe, reported seing many Indians
with blond hair. It has been sug-
gested that Knutsons men may
have been absorbed into this tribe
and left their imprint in its hered-
ity. Smithsonian physical anthro-
biologists, however seriously doubt
this, for the suggestion hardly fits
known laws of genetics. Also
there is no certainty that the de
scriptions of these blond Man
dams" We're not greatly eXaggerat-
ed. They cannot be checked today
because the tribe was nearly wiped
out in a smallpox epidemic fifty
years ago
There is only vague sugges-
ton that some of the men left at
Vinland. or with the ships at the
mouth of the Nelson. returned to
Norway. 1t is said that, in the
midst of the great plague, King
Magnus received news that his
Greenland colony was lost without
trace. Who could have been the
bearer of these bad tidings? There
still remains a faint possibility
that among yellowed manu-
scripts in some European archives
there may be found a full account
of the expedition by somebody who
accompanied Knutson.

Congress today completed action

The House agreed to Senate
amendments postponing the effective
date Of the new system until six
months after money is available.
Even If President Truman should
approve the measure. It is considered
very unlikely that funds can be OBJ
tanned from this Congress to put II

Apes Start Scrappy
Married Life After
Wedding at Zoo

The bride was frightened the
bridegroom was pugnacious and both
acted as if they'd rather be some

photographers witnessed the wed

gibbon at the Zoo, and Blackie, q
Hoolock ape.
Barbara, a gray-coated showoff
who was born here. has lived a soli-
tary life in a small cage since she
was taken from the Zoos ina
ternity ward" as baby. Yesterday
she was transferred to a fitting
bridal suite" twice the size of her
old home.
And this morning her new hus-
band, who is two years her senior
but about the same size, joined her
Neither had ever been in a cage
with other gibbons.
At first, the two swung about on
the bars, stealing occasional glances
at each other. But then Barbara
who seemed to disapprove of the
whole idea, retreated to high cor
ner. There she perched and refused
to move.
Occasionally, Blackie would swing
over and slap at his bride. When he
did, Barbara would slap back. Then
she'd withdraw even farther and
whimper.
Zoo Headkeeper Frank o. Lowe
said the animals would probably
ignore each other for a few days.
Then they'll fight for a time
But they should soon start leading 9

The bridal party was not the sole
new attraction at the Zoo today

leopard. The Princess arrived ig-
ANONYMOUSLY yesterday in a small cage
after a trip by steamer and train
from her native Liberia. Named

lied her reputation as a household
pet, which she had been for the first
three months of her life.

Washington is the city OF bridges.
This is demonstrated by beauti-
full brochure, bound with plastic
rings and Illustrated by offset re-
productions of photographs, old and
new, published by the District High
way Department.
Since the District is laved by the
tidewaters of the Potomac and the
Anacostia, divided by Rock Greek,
Piney Branch and the Klingle VAL
ley, and bisected by the parallel
tracks of two railroad lines, it took
lot of bridges to bind the territory
that is the Metropolitan Area. It's
going to take lot more to carry
on the transportation of the future
Dedicated to Whyte.
The booklet is the work of Ray
mond A. Boucher of the Highway
Planning Survey and is dedicated to
Clifford Riddle Whyte, the District
engineer of bridges, who died earlier
this year.
1t contains early drawings ano
the Brady Civil War photographs
of Washington's bridges. Here many
readers will learn for the first time
that the Chain Bridge, that sus.
pension bridge hung on two neck
laces of 4-inch-thick wrought iror
links, was gone in Civil War days
The bridge that was guarded
against Col. John Singleton Mosby':
raids was a timber structure COM
bining truss and arch construction
And the Long Bridge, the prede'
cessor of the Highway Bridge, ovel
which the beaten Union forces
crossed after the first defeat al
Bull Run in 1861, was only cat
walk during the rest of the war
The planks had been removed
from its timbers to prevent cross.
