Secretary of Labor Pushed Forward
Under Sponsorship of Nixon-Dewey


liam F. Knowland's near
disaster in the California
SUPERNATURAL primaries.
Highly realistic Republic
cans-includinc some of Sem
ator Knowlsnd's admirers
have now concluded that his
comparatively poor primary
showing means that the Re-
publicans must soften up"
toward labor in 1860.
Senator Knowland ran, Of
course. on a right to work
platform bitterly resented
by the labor leaders. His
prospective defeat in the
California Governors race
by Democrat Edmund (Pat)
Brown has gone very far to-
ward shrinking an erstwhile
list of six COP. vice presi-
dental possibles down to a
list bearing one name-that
of Mr.. Mitchell.
If Senator Knowland had
done we'll the tendency would
have been to provide Mr..
Nixon with a conservative
running mate-or at least
= one having no special ties to
labor. Any such prospect has
all but vanished now.
Influential Republican
pros" now concede not only
that some appeal to labor
must be made-but that it
would best come from a vice
presidential candidate especi-
ally agreeable to the urban
and largely Eastern Catholic
voters.
This reckoning is highly
practical and somewhat de-
fensive. 1t rests upon the
supposition that it would be
dangerous to assume that
Senator John F. Kennedy, a
Massachusetts, Catholic with
pretty good labor backing,
will not wind up on the ma
tional Democratic ticket in
1860, If only in second place.
Secretary Mitchell is urban
and Eastern-from New Jer-
sey-and Catholic.
True. he has thus far been
pictured, in the confused leg

Judge Paul told the Negro

Z Recourse to Court
If any students who submit
to the tests feel that they have
been Disseminated against,
Judge Paul said, they would

Parkway Use
ForChontilIy

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today voted, in
closed session, to block a pro-
posed access road to the Chan
tilly Airport which would use
the George Washington Memo
rial parkway in Virginia.
The action, reported by Sena-
tor Robertson, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, would ban the use Of
funds to buy land or otherwise
develop a proposed. access
known as Route A." which
would use the parkway for part
of the distance from Wash
Iington and approach the airport
along the north.
Six possible routes, involving
varying degrees of controversy
we're examined by the commit
tee. All have been studied by
area planning groups and the
Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton.
About a week ago, a citizen
delegation from Northern Vir-
ginia. headed by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vie
ginia. strangely urged the Sen
ate committee to ban use OF
any Chantilly funds for the
route involving the parkway.
At the closed meeting Sen
ator Robertson tried first fol-
an amendment specifically bar
ring the parkway as an access
Committeeman noted that any
route to the airport probably
would cross the parkway al
some point.
So they rejected this first
suggestion and accepted a SUBJ
stitute, also proposed by the
Virginia Senator. This would
prohibit the route designated
by the Civil AeronauticS Ad-
ministration as Route A, the
road farthest north of those
proposed for the airport link
Part of Route A runs directly
along the parkway.
The committee became in
volved because it is considering
a House-passed appropriation
request Of $50 million to begin
Chantilly construction. Part OF
the money would be used for
approach roads.

ANTHROPOLOGISTS ARE
becoming convinced, owing
to the demonstrations Of
Johannes Hurzeler of the
Museum Of Natural History
Of Basel, Switzerland, that
oreopithecus was a progeni-
tor Of man. This means that
man is not a newcomer
among the mammals, merely
100000 years old, but that he
was fighting for survival
along with apes and mas
todons, antelopes, snakes
and turtles before the ice
age,
Somewhat aware of all
this from the public print,
the Rambler called on DR..
T. Dale Stewart, head of
physical anthropology in the
Smithsonian Institution.
Nothing like this has ever
happened before" said DR..
Stewart.

man of the meeting of the
American Institute of HUI

1856, at the Wenner-Gren
Foundation at IA East
Seventy7first street, New
York - that's right behind
the Frick Museum-which
was addressed by DR.. Hur-
zeler.
But l have to confess that
when we we're told some
weeks before that we we're
to hear a talk on oreopithe-
Gus, several of US, including
me, did not recognize the
term.
while fragmentary fossils
of oreopithecus we're come
upon in 1872, he had been
classified as an ape or a
monkey. 1t was DR.. Hur-
zeler who demonstrated,
largely through examination
of the lower jaw bone and
teeth, that oreopithecus was
an ancestor of man.
There we're apes and
monkeys in the same period.
This means we have to put
the missing link, the COM
mon ancestor of man and
apes, millions of years fur
ther back.

ING that DR.. HurZeler got
funds from the Wenner-
Gren Foundation-founded
by Axel Wenner-Gren, the
Swedish industrialist - for
some more digging north Of
Rome. Helmut de Terra, a
geologiSt interested in pale
ontologoy, helped him.
Last week after the news
broke, I met de Terra in
Mexico. He told me that
scores of fossils had been
put through a chopping ma
chine to make fuel"
DR.. Stewart involuntarily
INDUCED in a grimace.
ITS most amazing" he
said, that so many Of them
ended up in the Pontine
swamps and became fossils.
Whether simian or human,
the early manlike mammals
were agile enough to keep out
of swamps. They died on the
highlands, where their bones
we're not foSSilized.
1T suppose that oreopithe-
Gus will have a small cranial
cavity. He was a little over
4 feet high feet 6 inches

Here is a copy of DR..
Hurzeler's preliminary re-
port, issued in January Of
this year."
The Rambler's study Of the
report kept him running to
the dictionary.
Ne learned that the man
dible is the lower jaw bone,
He also learned that oreo-
pithecus' front teeth were
straight up and down, not
protruding as those Of an
ape and that the manlike
creatures canine teeth we're
much smaller than those Of

logical step would be to go to
