Skeleton OF Indian\
Reveals Early Life
Sussex ArchaeOlOgists Get Report
On Rare Burial Find

A rare example of an Indian bur-
ial custom, unlike any previously
encountered by the Sussex Arch
geological Association of Lewes,
was reported last Thursday night
before the association by the find
er, H. Geiger Omwake, chairman
of the local "diggers" project COM
mittee.
Mr.. Omwake reported that the
skeleton Of an Indian recently ex-
cavated by him in a field back of
the Lewes School, was found fully
extended, and not bundled up as
others have been when removed
from burial pits.
This is a burial custom not
common among local Indians" he
says. "The skeleton is in excellent
state of preservation and lay on it's
back with head pointed toward the
west in the direction of the setting
sun. What special significance may
be attached to this peculiar circum-
stance is being determined"
The skeleton has been sent to u.
s. National Museum at Washington
for detailed study and correlation
with other burials recently found
on the Townsend Site by members
Of the association.
Before it was removed from the
pit it attracted a great many in
terested persons, Mr.. Omwake says.
including classes of pupils from
the Lewes School, Of which Mr..
Omwake is superintendent.
The large majority of Indian
skeletons, more than 80 to date.
have been recovered on the Town
send Site which the local archaeol-
ogists have been working the rast
year. All were of "fexed burial
types. The spot where the extended
skeleton was found is some dis
tance from the Townsend Site.
Present at the meeting were DR..
T. Dale Stewart. curatoI of the Di-
vision of AnthropOlogy at the
Smithsonian Institution; Mrs Mar
garet Blaker. associate, who show
ed slides of pottery pieces she has
been anal2zing from the Townsend
Site, and Malcolm Watkins, curator

Some error in geography is in

newspaper story.
The lowlands between the Cas-

Study of the map of the U. s. s.
r. seems to indicate that Nacht
Express was in error in naming
the mountain barrier the Cau-
casian Mountains and that it

|Presbyterians Told
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ATLANTA. Nov. S. - World
Unity and lasting peace can be
achieved only when Christians
begin striving as individuals to-
ward that end, Presbyterian lay
men were told today.
There would be no hope If it
depended on political solution, -
declared Representative Judd,
Republican, Of Minnesota.
DR.. Judd, a former Congrega-
tionalist missionary to China, said
three world organizations are at
work today-the United Nations,
the Communist Party and the
Christian Church.
'"The United Nations is falter-
ing" he asserted, because it is
trying to work under two sets of
principles: One for the Big Five
and another for the other So
countries.
Reds Have One Set.
Russia has its own world Or
ganization, well organized, dis
ciplined and fanatical. The Com
munists are working under one
set of rules toward one goal.
And at the same time, Russia
sits in the United Nations and is
in position to thwart efforts to-
ward world unity"
The Christian church alone can
defeat the threat of communism,
he asserted.
The three-day Presbyterian
mems convention. which ends to-
morrow. was designed to show lay
men what the church is doing and
how they as individuals can ad-
vance the church's program. Some
1000 elders, deacons and lust
plain floor members" from II
Southern States are attending.
DR.. William M. Elliott, jr.. pas
tor Of the Highland Park Presby-
terian Church. Dallas. Tex, de-
plored liquor. divorce and race
prejudice as three great problems
which in the end must come to
the individual for solution.
Less Concern Than Unbelievers.
Race prejudice is about the
ugliest and most inexcusable thing
I know Of" he asserted, "yet so
many Of us are guilty Of it. As
Christians we are less concerned
about this great social problem all
over the world than unbelievers.
We will make no progress until
you and I start thinking more like
Christians. Begin with yourself"
Deputy Undersecretary Of State
Dean Rusk, defending the work of
U. N. asserted:
THE record will show that, by
and large. men Of good will are
getting on with the job. War
devastation is being repaired,
health is rising. more stomachs
are being fed. disputes are being
settled by peaceful means, local
fighting is being smothered by the
many processes Of peace"

IN CHURCHES

A resolution to seek an end
to discrimination against Negro
es was adopted here by the Ma
tional Federation of Catholic
college students.
The 900 delegates from 1863 in
st1tutions of the Federation's
five day convention agreed that
discrimination against Negroes
constitutes a human denial Of
the divine truth that all men
everywhere united by the re
'demptve love of Christ"
The students avered that an
initial appeal would be launch
ed against ''unwarranted'' dis
elimination against Negro in
Catholic churches in the south.
Some members were refraineG
from giving evidences. of Cath
Ollie churches in New Orleans,
which displayed jim crow signs
to separate Negro and white par
ishioners, and the maintenance
of Xavier university there as a
