UP) Discovery ol tone tools In an earth layer pre-datlng any known Eskimo culture was re ported here by Prof. J. L. Gld dintrs Jr.. University of Alaska anthropologist. Giddings would hazard no esti. mate of the age of his discovery, but said It bolstered the theory that the American Indian came to this continent by way of the Bering sea region. The professor disclosed the dis covery to Dr. Terns moore, on North Sound along the Bering Strait. - "Some of the stone tools found," Professor Giddings said, "are in forms of finished blades or points of unique workmanship with more than 20 flaking scars to the Inch. "A number of flake knives of a type hitherto unknown In Amer ica,, but common in early Euro, pean and Asiatic sites, were also discovered."

(IP) An Increase In wholesale electric power rates was predicted Thurs day for about 19.V1 by Dr. Paul I. Raver, Bonneville power admin istrator. Raver made the prediction in answer to a question at a public power conference sponsored by the Washington Public Utility Commissioners' association. He said the Bi'A will have earned SiO,000,000 over expenses by 1!54 but in that year revenues probably will start falling under expenses. The agency's surplus goes into the federal treasury as earned. Raver said he hoped there would be no need for a "volun tary brownout" In the Pacific Northwest next winter.

Stephens Phone 279 Senators May Probe Union's Power In Hawaii WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-VP) Senator Robertson (D.-Va.) said Thursday the Senate Bank ing committee is considering sending a subcommittee to Ha waii to investigate the economic power of the CIO Longshoremen's union. The union has been on strike for 118 days, paralyzing island shipping. Robertson said the inquiry would be part of the banking committee's broad investigation into monopoly charges against labor organizations. Small business men In Hawaii have asked him, Robertson said, to send a subcommittee to look into the union's "ability to com pletely close down Hawaii's economy." .360.000 kilowatts more capacity than it had last winter when power had to be conserved dur ing peak periods, he said. Sales of power, he added, are at a record high, but not as high as they were predicted two years ago to become. Beautify Your Grounds The beauty of your grounds en hances the beauty ol vour i home.

Aug. 26 (-Pi Struc tural defects and damage from the April earthquake may force fierce county to dismantle Its 60-year-old courthouse. Pierce county commissioners said Thursday that new discov eries of crumbling had been made on the fifth floor adjacent to one of the elevator shafts. Previous inspections had re sulted in a decision to tear down the building's tower, a landmark visible for miles from Tacoma. The quake dislodged building stone and bricks in the tower making it unsafe and beyond re pair, according to engineers. The new weaknesses disclosed Thursday probably are related to the quake, building superintend ent Roy Harrison said. He now entertains grave doubts as to the stability of the building, particu larly if another quake should hit this region. If the earthquake that shook Seattle Sunday night had occur red here, we would Be having a mass funeral for the persons in the building at that time'Har- rison said. The Pierce county jail and sheriff's office are In the building. Almost as great a problem as tearing down the building will be the financing of a new one, com mission chairman L. A. Hudson said, lhe county has no spare cash, no building fund reserve, he said, and was worried about paying for dismantling of the tower, a $30,000 Job. Emergency repairs art being made on the building to permit continued use of the structure hy county offices which have no oth er place to go. BETTER FESTIVAL YEAR ASHLAND.
