Finders Seek Origin Of Strange Urns Several strange, olive-drab urns have been found washed ashore on the Oregon Coast and they have become the subjects of one of the growing guessing games of the state. Where did they come from? And what were they used for? These are the foremost questions. One of the latest of the finds was made at Reedsport a -week ago by a Reedsport woman and boy looking for glass balls used to ouoy iisn neis. 11 was tounti on the beach about two miles from Reedsport by Mrs. Henry Mitchell and Jim Shipley. The big urn measured 18 inches in height and was girdled by three rings. Near the top was a pretzel shaped symbol. The urn's contents are not yet known. It was sealed, and the seal has not yet been broken. It weighs about 20 pounds A picture is being sent to the University of Oregon for study. Meanwhile the guessing goes on. A Eugene woman who heard of the urn said she had been told it resembled the kind used to receive cremated remains of bodies. She said H was the custom during the World War II in Japan and on other islands of the Far East to use the receptacles for ashes. ' The remains of many of the prisoners and soldiers were handled this way," she said. Troops Reach Kascngo In Drive Against Witchcraft Terrorists LE0P0I.DVII.LE, the Congo (AP) A joint force of U. N. and Congolese soldiers got through to Kasongo today in their drive against witchcraft gangs terror izing Kivu Province. This column, made up of 150 U. N. Malay soldiers and 50 Con golese, flashed a terse message to U. N. headquarters here say-1 ing: "All is well." The 200-mile drive to Kasongo from the U. N. base at Hindu apparently met no resistance from the bowand-arrow gangs who profess intention to "kill all whites." The men traveled in heavy trucks over roads that were little more than ribbons of mud. The trip took 24 hours. An estimated 30 whites thought to be mainly missionaries and plantation owners, are believed still in the Kasongo area center of the witchcraft cult. This is the first time that U.. N. soldiers and soldiers nominally loyal to the leftist Stanleyville re- i gime of Antoine Gizenga have co operated on this scale. GizeiVs supporters claim control of K..u, which has degenerated into a stale of anarchy because of rov ing gangs of soldiers, cultists and bandits. The United Nations has put the strength of the witchcraft fanat ics at several hundred. They are armed with bows and arrows, lances and homemade guns. Around their heads they wear strips of leopard skin. Their slogan is "kill all whites." hut so far U. N. headquarters here has received no information that anv whites have been killed hy the" cultists in the Kasongo area. Conco experts believe the group belongs to a sect known as Kilu awa. which is known to have in dulged in human sacrifice hut was suppressed under the old Belgian colonial rule.
