Heyerdahl, Of Kon-Tiki Fame, Off
On NewExbedition to Prove Theory

Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian
anthrOpolOgist who led the famous
kon- Tiki expedition by balsa raft
across the South Pacific in 1947,
is off on another adventure. Ac-
companied by two fellow scientists,
one American and one Norwegian,
he will this time explore the
mysterious Galapagos Islands, off
the coast of Ecuador.
Before his departure from Quay
aquil on Jan. 7. aboard the motor
boat Don Lucho.' the Kon-Tiki
explorer said the aim of his Gala
pages expedition was to search
for possible remains of missing
link" between the early civiliza-
tions of South America and the
holynesian Islands of the Pacific.
Specifically. Mr.. Heyerdahl hopes
to find additional evidence to back
his theory that the discovery and
first settlement of the Polynes-
ian Islands was made by Indians

OF the colorful Ice,andic National
costume. examples of which Mrs.
Tinker will wear on stage III per-
son. Tinker himselm narrates the
film as II unfolds on the screen.
He shows the BEAUTIFUL city of
ReykJayik and the bubbling pools
Of sulfur al Myvatn. the herring
industry Of siglufj ordur and the
fishing boats from all OF Europe
Hooking there during the sum-
ner.
A thrilling visit TO a whale fac
tory is followed by Lnker's film
ing of the hunting and happening
of a whale as it is stalked by
whaler.
Theatre goers viii enjoy the
film visit to the official residence
Of the President of Iceland, the
Honorable Sveinn Bjornsson and
the message he recorded for Link
ers to play especially for the peo-
pie of the United States.
Tinker will welcome Iclanders
in he aud ience in their own
tongue and set out to prove in
his film how Iceland is misnamed
since it is comfortably warm due
to the Astounding volcanic hot
springs.

from the northwestern coast of
South America.
Hopes to Find Aritfacts
The Norwegian scientist con-
cedes that the lack of water on
the barren archipelago probably
ruled out any permanent human
settlement there. both before and
after the Spanish conquest Of
South America. Nevertheless. he
considers it quite likely that
Indians of pre-Columbian civiliza-
tions visited the Galapagos from
time to time. as fishermen do to-
day. If that were the case, Mr..
Heyerdahl can see no reason why
artifacts and other relics proving
the presence of the Indians may
not be found.

his best advice to the highest
counsels, and the government act

'portant Thule air base. Balchen
was also given the job of organ
izing a patrol outfit called tn e
Tenth Rescue Squadron, which
scouts the empty polar wasteland
in all kinds of perilous weather.
The North Pole is the center of
the world in this air age, says
Balchen, and events seem to rap
idly bear out this prophecy
Now it seems Balchen may we'll
be regarded, in time. as one of
the first prolific landscape paint
ers of the Arctic Wristbands. His
numerous paintings, the out
growth of spare time sketches he
started making as late as 1948,
are already acclaimed for their
realistic color tones and compo-
sition as we'll as for their eye
opening scenes from a world about
which people know very little, and
which Balchen. probably. knows
better than anyone else on earth.
