Queen Hears Story
7 old First Time
To q White Woman
BY the Associated Pres.

WHYALLA. Australia, Mar
20.-A story no other white
woman ever has heard was
whispered today in the ear OF
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II here
today. She promised never to
pass 1t on to another white
woman.
It was the legend of the sacred
"corroboree" or tribal ceremo-
nial dance performed by the
Australian aborigines, believed
to be one Of the worlds oldest
races.
Australian Patrol Officer w. M
MacDougall, who speaks the To-
cal aboriginal pitjanjara dialect
told the story to the Queen in
English after getting a special
dispensation from the tribal
leaders.
The native creed says the
sacred corroboree must never be
danced in the presence of a
woman, nor its story told. But
it was decided this ban could
be lifted for the Queen, who is
visiting this South Australian
port town with her husband. the
Duke of Edinburgh, as part of
their commonwealth tour.
