said there is definite evidence
that the remains. although
considerably older" than lin
janthropus, are those of a be-
ing more closely related to
modern man than Zinjanthro-
pus is.
Since beginning his excava-
tions in Tanganyikais Olduvai
Gorge in 1881, DR.. Leakey es-
timated that up to 1859, he
put in approximately 10000
man hours digging for stone
age artifacts and fossils.
Late in 1859, following his
discovery of the ZinjanthropGs
man, he received the several
financial assistance grants, in
Guiding one from the Wilkie
Foundation of Des PLANES, I'll.
Then. in February. 1860, addi-
tional monetary support was
granted by the National Geo.
graphic Society.
DR.. Leakey declared that
since the fall of 1859, when the
assistance started,
about $4,000 man hours of ex-
cavation in the Gorge has been
completed.
Set Man Apart
"Tool-making was the de-
cisive step that separated man
from his animal-like ances-
tors" he told reporters.
Early mans implements, he
added, were used to cut and
skin, not to kill animals. Be-
fore game-killing weapons were
fashioned, early man was
either a Scavenger or caught ,
animals barehanded. :
"Man is just as capable of
catching, with his bare hands,
small antelopes as a cheetah
Is," the anthropologist said.

Suyings and
Loan Bills
BY PAUL HOPE
star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-Attor-
ney General Thomas B. Finan
has given the all-clear signal
to two major pieces Of savings
and loan legislation before the
Maryland General Assembly.
Mr.. Finan ruled that the ad-
ministration's Case bill, which
would give Maryland its first
regulation Of savings and loan
associations, is constitutional.
He also ruled that the Tydings
bill which would curb op-
erations Of Security Finan-
cial Insurance Co., q savings
and loan association deposit
Insurance company. is consti-
tutional. This bill would re-
quire the firm, which is run
by three legislators and other
Baltimore County Democratic
leaders. to reduce the amount
Of insurance 1t Is carrying.
Called UnconstitutlOnal
The ruling on the Case bill
came yesterday q few hours
after Senate President George
| w. Della, Democrat Of Balti-
more City, said he believed the
bill was unconstitutional.
Senate debate is scheduled
for Monday night on the Case
bill. It has been approved by
the Banking and Insurance
Committee and was scheduled
for floor action yesterday, but
was put off until Monday at
the request Of Senator Charles
See. Republican of Allegany.
Senator See said he wanted
more time to study it.
In the House of Delegates,
the Case bill is still in the Ways
and Means Committee, where
a subcommittee Is studying
possible amendments. The sub
committee has held one secret
meeting and has scheduled an
other for Monday.
Sets Up Board
The bill has the strong back
ing Of Gov. TaweS. It's most
controversial features are the
ban on multistock associa-
tions, q prohibition against in
vestments in second mortgages,
a sharp restriction on give
aways to attract depositors, and
the makeup Of the new board
which would be set up to police
the industry.
The Tydings bill, aimed at
Security Financial Insurance
Corp, has passed the House
after creating a bitter fight
involving the legislators who
are stockholders and officers
of the company.

ferred wage increases. The
cash pay increases to be auto
matically granted in 1862 un-
der these 1900 contracts aver
age 8 cents an hour.
AS an indication of how
much of a factor these auto
matte raises will be in next
years negotiations, at this time
in 1860. the BNA made a sim
liar survey and reported that
the deferred wage increases for
1861 would work out to 80
cents on average. Through the
third quarter of this year, ne
gotiated wage increases have
averaged 81 cents-emphasiz-
ing as Donald F. Farwell of
the BNA says. 'the extent to
which the deferred increases
become a settlement floor and
suggesting that the averaged
negotiated increase next year
will be fairly close to 8 cents
an hour"
But as Mr.. Farwell also
stressed, this is only the cash
part of it. Revisions in fringe
benefits also are on schedule
for 1862 with changes in in
surance clauses leading by a
wide margin and revisions in
holiday, pension and vacation
clauses following in that order
And since many of the con-
tracts providing for automatic
pay raises in 1862 carry esca-
lator clauses too, the hourly
total collected next year by
workers covered by these agree
ments could be several cents
above the amount of the de-
ferred increase.

The pattern is set. Wage in
creases in 1862 will average 8
cents an hour at least. This
will be the floor" under raises
in cash alone and it will work
out to an average pay increase
of around 3 per cent next year.
In addition, employees will
achieve important gains in
fringe benefits-particularly in
life insurance, disqualification
insurance, medical care bene-
fits. They'll get more liberal
lied holiday schedules, pen
sions, vacation deals. While a
precise price tag cannot be
placed on these fringe benefits,
obviously they'll add Substan-
TALLY to the gains of workers
and to the labor costs of en-
ployers.
Even though the efficiency
of Americas workers will rise
due to modernized machines
and methods of production
and this will help keep a lid
on prices, pay raises averaging
this amount will at best put
the United States on the
borderline of initiation.
And if the steelworkers' con-
tract results in a breaking of
this average, the danger of an
other inflationary runup in the
second half of 1862 will become
very real.
