Commentator

Members of the Durant
Civic Association Of Alexandria
wish to commend highly The
Star and its reporter Paul
Hope for the articles Of May /
and 2 highlighting the acute
housing situation In our COM
munity. with particular refer
ence to housing for Alexan-
dria's colored citizens.
Our civic group was founded
q year ago primarily out Of
the growing housing situation
and the need for citizens ac-
ton. We have. through our
housing committee. conducted
an extensive personal letter
campaign in an attempt to aid
in arousing Alexandria public
opinion toward q city-wide
movement to do something
about this shortage and
blighted situation in housing
for the low and medium in
come families Of our historical
home town.
Over the year. we have d.
rected our housing letters to
various civic groups, to politi-
cal and welfare leaders, to
churches and ministers, and to
numerous influential citizens
throughout the community.
We believe the reception of
these letters was excellent.
The articles Of The Star we're
therefore excellent compile
ments to the housing CAM
paign.
The community. with this
urging Of Its citizenry, has
taken several steps to both
rectify the present conditions
and TO preclude the existence
Of associated conditions again.
The recent appointment Of a
city-wide Citizens Community
Development Committee to
study and make recommended
tons with reference to the
housing situation and possible
urban renewal, and the immi-
hence Of the adoption Of a
housing and hygiene code by
the City Council are but sew
eral Of the housing moves thus
far.
Your articles have pointed
UP clearly our acute housing
needs In such a fashion as TO
further the arousement Of the
public.

Early Indian cultures with
close similarities to those of
the Incas Of Peru and the
Mayas Of Yucatan existed
along the coast Of Ecuador.
These findings are the re-
suit of four months of field
work conducted on the Rio
Napo in the eastern lowlands
and in the Guayas Province on
the Ecuadorian coast by Cliff
ford Evans, associate curator
Of archaeology at the U. S.
National Museum; Betty j.
Meggers, research associate of
the Smithsonian Institution,
and Emilio Estrada, director of
the Ecuadorian national mu-
scum. The work was conducted
under the auspices Of the
Smithsonian Institution and
the Casa de Ia Cultura Ecua-
toriana, with the aid Of a re-
search grant from the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society.
Prehistoric Migration
Excavations carried out
along the Napo River revealed
large villages and q well de-
veloped pottery art and paint
ing. The pottery especially
has close resemblances to the
pottery from the Island Of
Marajo at the mouth Of the
Amazon. The Marajo culture
is alien and seems out Of place
in the Amazon region. Until
now its origin has been un-
known. The work Of the
present expedition. however,
indicates that this culture
came originally from the
headwaters Of the Amazon
tributaries in Ecuador and
Colombia.
This is the first time, accord
ing to DR.. Evans. that such an
extensive down river migration
in prehistoric times has been
shown by archaeological evil
dence In South America. The
movement probably took place
q few hundred years before
the arrival Of the first Span
iards. When the Spanish ex-
plorer Orellana made his voy-
age down the Napo in the
middle 10th century the sites
along the river had already
been abandoned. He found no
Indians within the present
boundaries Of Ecuador.
Archaeological investigations
by Evans, Meggers and Estrada
in the Guayas Province Of
coastal Ecuador revealed the
presence Of early cultures
closely resembling early stages
OF the culture Of pre-Colum-
bian Yucatan and Peru. The
Oldest Of these has been cred
tied to Valdivia culture. It's pot
terry shares with the earliest
pottery making cultures Of
Central America certain dis
tinctive traits. like broad-line
and fine-line incision, rocker
