American history. through periods
of apparently great climatic
changes which brought different
kinds of animals to that area dur
ing thousands Of years.
Most Of the bones appear to be
from animals which became caught
in crevices near the surface, grad
ually disintegrating until their dis
jointed bones eventually worked
their way to the bottom of the
cave.
The cave, about three miles
northwest of Cumberland, Is per-
haps the outstanding source of oul
knowledge of animals that lived
in the pleistocene era in Eastern
North America, Brother Nicholas
said.
Bones in the newly found section
consist mainly of fragments o1
skulls and long bones. apparently
mostly animals of the rodent fam
lily. but also some birds. Scientists
excavating to find the bones must
wear breathing masks because OF
heavy dust raised from the cave
floor.

.Che|f Group 10 Hear
Reports Of Justice Role
With u. n. Probe Jury
By the Assoeiused Press

A House committee yesterday
scheduled public hearings this
week on reports that the Justice
Department tried to interfere with
a Federal grand jury investigation
of United Nations employees.
Three days of testimony will
be taken, starting tomorrow. by
a Judiciary subcommittee headed
by Representative Chelf, Demo-
crat of Kentucky.
The group already has ques-
toned some members of the grand
jury behind closed doors. The jury,
sitting in New York, was looking
into alleged Communist affiliations
of some members of the United
States staff at the U. N.
When it was discontinued on
December 2. the grand jury rec
commended that q new grand Jury
be sworn in to continue the i'm
vestigation. Reports then arose
that Justice Department officials
had sought to suppress its finding.
Grand jurors are under oath to
keep secret everything that goes
on during their sessions but Com
mittee Counsel Robert A. Collier
said they possibly can be required
to ignore their oaths while under
subpoena of a congressional COM
mittee.
"We are just as much interested
as the courts are in preserving
secrecy of grand jurors" Mr.. Col
lier told reporter. "But we
believe these jurors can tell us a
lot without violating their oaths."
He said the committee is more
interested in what the jurors can
tell about their relations with
Justice officials than with the tes-
timony they took.

Carnegie Group Calls
IL. n. Greatest Peace
Agency Yet Devised
BY The Associated Press

| NEW YORK, Dec. 27. The
Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace announced in an
annual report today that it is
continuing to support the United
Nations "as the most promising
agency men have yet devised for
effective cooperation among ma
tions."
Joseph E. Johnson. endowment
president, made the report cover
ing the organizations activities
for the IL months ending last
June 30.
| He said that at the end of that
period the best that could be said
about the international situation
was that "World War III in the
sense of a great global holocaust.
seemed no nearer than at the
beginning"
But to this it must be added, I"
he said, that world tensions
seemed unlikely to lessen signifi-
cantly in the months ahead and
that mankind could indeed count
itself fortunate if they did not
increase"
Mr.. johnson said the actions
of the Soviet UnioI indicated that
its definition of peace had little
in common" with the ideals under
lying the Carnegie Endowment
since its founding in 1911.
He also described nationalist
movements, especially in Asia and
Africa, as a "disrupting factor"
But. he said, while some of
its more extreme manifestations
and implications were alarming,
the fundamental drives were pro-
greSSive, not reactionary,"

It is being built with German

way to the east. Adolf Hitler built
his Siegfried line not far east
from here.

Saar and Mosel Rivers.
The old invasion routes furnish
perfect lines Of communication.
To these have been added new
rail lines. stepped up electrical
power, new water lines and solid
brick teel-and-mortar buildings.
Much Is Still Secret.
Much of the work is still classi-
fed, but such things as the larg-

Mr.. Soustelle wants the backing
of enough political groups to as
sure a majority in the scatter
packet National Assembly for a
cabinet in which Gen. De Gaulle's
Irightist Rally of the French
People would have a real hand.
something the RPF has avoided
in the past.
But many party leaders were

would not be able to advise Presi-

assignment.
Pinay Stays Temporarily.
The Christmas crisis developed
from the resignation of Premier
Antoine Pinay's cabinet Tuesday.
Mr.. Pinay and his ministers are
staying in Office on a caretaker
basis until new cabinet is formed,
but are making no policy decisions.
Mr.. Soustelle is young, tough.
eager and ambitious. These
characteristics won him some
supporters. They frightened 9TH

Francois Mitterand, a member
of the independent group to which
Defense Minister Rene Pleven be-
longs, talked at length with Mr..

statement afterward which could
be described as friendly but re-

Differ on European Army.
"I am convinced" he said, that
our views on theological questions,
various aspects of the problems of
the French union and of the need
OF giving new direction to our
economy are not greatly different.
But on other points it might be
difficult to come to an agree
ment."
One of these points was what
would be done with the proposed
treaty creating a six-nation Eu-
ropean army. Mr.. Mitterand said
that some of his party were not
in serious disagreement with Mr..
Soustelle. who is opposed to it.
But Mr.. Mitterand also pointed
out that Mr.. Pleven had spon-
sored the army plan from the be-
ginning and his stand on that
subject would dominate the posi-
ton of the party.
