Davis Report

The Davis subcommittee in
vestigating indignation in the
District public schools has
clearly shown that colored
children have been severely
short-changed in segregated
school system.
No child, white or colored,
can develop its potentialities
without adequate educational
facilities. Therefore, it is re-
freshing to see the Davis rec
concentration to restore segre-
cation in the District public
schools received little support.

Crossing Of another chasm
in time. between modern man
and his ape-like ancestors
perhaps the grotesque Mean
derthalers of the middle ice
ages-has recently been re-
ported.
The missing link between
the stopped, thick skulled,
beetle-browed "ape-man" of
Europe's middle ice ages is the
"neo Neanderthaler," whose
fossil skulls have been found
recently in Palestine and q
few other places.
He may even have come to
the Americas through China,
across Boring Strait before
the ancestors Of the Indians,
although this is highly ques-
tionable. Still he was a highly
intelligent animal" with an
expansive culture. He may
have been a far-roaming mi
grant.
Hitherto there has been a
big gap with no known inter-
mediate steps between the ice
age troglodyte and the erect,
bigger Drained and thinner
&ulled members of the genus
homo who appeared quite sud-
denly in Europe about 10000
years ago and who were, at the
best; only a step away from
the American college president
or Australian "black fellow"
of this century.
'Darwin's First Witness"
This was revealed at a meet
ing of the American ASsocia-
ton for the Advancement Of
Science held here in observ-
ance of the Tooth anniversary
of the finding of fossil remains
of the paradoxical Neander-
thaler in a Ruhr valley cave.
The German "cave man" was
a long way from the direct
forerunner of presentday hui
mans. He may have been COW
cred with a thick coat of hair.
He needed it in the Arctic chill.
He usually is pictured carry
ing a big club. His contempt
raries were cave bears and
woolly rhinos. During the last
century fossil remains have
been found all over Western
Europe and in North Africa.
Very similar pre-humans left
remains in China and 1t is re-
motely possible that they
crossed into North America
long before the Mongoloid an
cestorS of the Indians.

derthal remains came at about

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
New Clues to Our ApeIike Ancestors

the time Charles Darwin first
stated the idea that man was
descended from apelike an
cestors. The greatest signifi4
canoe at the time. according
to speakers at the symposium
here, was that this skill was
'Darwin's first witness"
From time to time, according
to DR.. T. Dale Stewart. curator
Of physical anthropology Of
the Smithsonian Institution,
apparently primitive skulls
are found In North America
which show Neanderthaloid
characteristics. They are
thicker than Indian skulls and
have more prominent ridges
over the eye sockets. They
cannot be precisely dated and
hence, DR.. Stewart said, the
presence Of the apelike pre-!
humans on this continent can
not be absolutely denied, al.
though few anthropologistS
accept it.
None Of the American skulls
approach in primitivenesS
those Of Europe and they may
well have belonged to true
humans. There can be no
question, however, that quite
similar skulls found In caves
of Palestine are those Of &C
tual Neanderthalers. No great
transition would have been re-
quired to modern man, as
would have been needed to
bridge the gulf between the
European specimens and the
much later people Of the old
stone age. 3
T
Ancestors a Mystery
Nobody knows from whence
came the ancestors Of the
present human species. Some
now hold, DR.. Stewart ex-
plains, that the ancient Pales4
tine men were evolutionary
developments from the more
primitive type and that from
them homo sapiens arose by
further evolution. .
Another theory, he said, is
that the European Neander-
thalers were somewhat degen.
Grated offShoots of the true
ancient race who were ma.
rooned by the descent of the
great glaciers and finally per-
ished without leaving any
descendants.
1t is generally agreed, &C.
cording to symposium speak,
ers. that the ancestors of
homo sapiens came out Of the.
East. Palestine man would
have been along their route;
if not at the start Of 1t.

Maryland Farm Law

a IcCelC SUOry IN your news
columns complains that Mary
lands new farm assessment
law is turning out to be a rich
mans law" and is doing little
to help the farmer who tills
the soil for a living"
The purpose of the law
which was thoroughly discussed
both In committee and on the
door 1t Annapolis, was to pre-
vent the assessors from assign
ing speculative values to farm
land-values based on prema-
ture subdivision in rural areas
and sales Of farmland to rich
Washingtonians who don't care
how much they pay.
Specifically. the law provides
that lands which are actively
devoted to farm or agricultural
use shall be assessed on the
basis of such use and shall not
: be assessed as if subdivided or
on any other basis"
The thought behind the law
had its origin in a survey made
by the University of Maryland
which confirmed the claims of
Montgomery County farmers
that they were being assessed
at a level much higher than
their neighbors in Frederick
and Howard Counties.
I cannot share your report
er'S surprise at discovering
that inflated assessments had
been less prevalent in the outer
reaches of the county than in
the central tier, which extends
from Colesville and Olney west
to Potomac and Darnestown.
Nor can ! accept his con-
clusion that every owner of
farmland in the central tier is
a rich man." while every
owner in the Poolesville.
Clarksburg, Da ma sous and
GAINESVILLE districts is a soil
filling peasant.
The law must apply equally
to everyone who qualities as a
farmer. Its intent is to keep
the traditional family farmer
from being driven out of the
county. II. in the course of
carrying out that intent, it
also benefits some Of the gen
tlemen farmers" in Potomac,
l see no great objection. I
might point out that the per-
sonal exemptions in the Fed
eral income tax are just as
available to John d. Rookie
Teller, jr.. as they are to you
and me.
Since the entire text Of the
new law is quoted above, it will
be seen that the new values
employed by the assessors ($40
to $50 per acre. are their own
handiwork. I do not know
much about farmland values
In upper Montgomery County,
but I have a bunch that there
is not much acreage that can
be bought for $50 per acre for
farming or for any other pur-
pose.
This law. like almost any
other, can be sabotaged If it
is administered by people who
yearn to see its downfall.
Your story also speaks of
certain amendments or substi-
tute exemptions that the as
SCISSORS favor. Why don't the
assessors press for such
amendments here at Annap-
oils rather than in the columns
Of The Star? I am sure they
would be successful If they
used only half the vigor which
they are now demonstrating
in lobbying for their pending
bill to raise their own salaries
"a proposal which. inciden-
tally, will cost the State some
100000 per year.
I am a city planner by pro-
fession. I subscribe to the
view often heard in planning
circles that the outward
sprawl Of cities should be
checked by open areas. or

golf set out to decide it today

PGA championship. And if you
have to pick a winner among
them. the name Of Louise Suggs
probably would come out first
because of her experience.

a golf pro for only about six

WiId's Calm Approach
Retains Amateur Crown
BY MERRILL WHITTLESEY

Claude Wild's golf could be
compared to a football team that
beats an opponent with ball con-
troll, or a baseball team that wins
consistently without the home
run ball.
The 33-year-old attorney who
won the Maryland State ANA
teur championship for the Sec
ond straight year yesterday at
Manor is a wonderful competitor
who mows his opponents down
with realistically golf.
Claude may not make as many
spectacular shots as many Of his
opponents. but what's more i'm
portant. he doesn't make nearly
as many bad ones. He seems al
most oblivious of the fellow he's
playing. and backed UP that
thought by saying yesterday, II
keep shooting for pars."
Wild beat Bill Brownrigg Of
Goose Greek. 2 and /. in the
scheduled 36-hole final. They
were all even after 81 holes. The
only holes won on the back nine
were by Wild. On both he had
regulation pars, and Brownrigg
lost them with Unexpectedly wild
shots.
On the 10th. or 18th, Brown
rigg hit a wide slice out Of
bounds. On the 10th. or Saith,
Brownrigg jerked a 6-iron deep
into the woods. Wild didn't hit
any shots that bad all day.
Last year Wild won the Mary
land and District Amateurs, the
Burning Tree and Washington
club championships. and lost 10
Bobby Brownell in the final of
the Washington Invitation. In
those tournaments he won 81
matches and lost one.
Wild never panics. although a
less stout-hearted player might
have done so twice last week. He
was three down and six to play
in the first round against Bill
Gartner Of Argyle. and one down
coming to the 18th in the second
round against Ralph Bogart. But
in both of those matches pars
squared the match. and parS
won them in extra holes.
Wild has been a Washington
resident for seven years. He
came here from Austin. Tex.
Max Elbin, the Burning Tree
pro. was in the gallery yester-
day and said he had been briefed
on Wild even before Claude
moved here.
Elbin was visiting in Austin
when Harvey Penick. golf coach
at the University of Texas and
pro at Austin G. c. told him
about Wild. and what a wonder
full competitor he was. II re-
membered the name. He moved
here couple of years later, {"
