I; 'Brown's Body'
Plays at Igloo
K The production of "John Brown's
(* Body," which will be presented in
. McArthur court Monday by the
Eugene-Unlversity Civic Music
• association, found its beginning in
' the very early life of Producer
Paul Gregory.
Bom intora poor’family, Greg
) ory relates that he remembers
I* possessing only two books, the
. Bible and “John Brown’s Body.”
L At Drake university, as a partici
pant in the drama department, he
I memorized excerpts from the poem
for oratorical contests, and then
, the work lay in the bapk of his
• mind until his' successful produc
\ tion of George Bernard Shaw's
! "Don Juan in Hell” in 1951.
In producing "John Brown's
| Body" Gregory has preserved the
V original lines of the poet, Stephen
Vincent Benet, using his cast as
readers. The stars, Tyrone Power,
i Anne Baxter and Raymond Mas
' sey, act against a musical back
I. ground provided by the Walter
Schumann Choral group,
t Sharing Gregory's enthusiasm
j for the project bringing Benet's
poem to the theater medium is
[ Charles Laughton, director. He
also worked with Gregory as di
rector and member of the First

Another Professor Discovers
Evidence of Primitive Indians
Information concerning the his
torical knowledge of the primitive
. Indian has been uncovered by
i Luther S. Cressman, professor of
• anthropology, and members of the
anthropology department in a ser
* ies of excavations, carried on over
a period of six months, in The
Dalles area.
Archeological material, salvag
- e<* from the excavations, may
prove that the Indians of the
coastal region traded directly or
indirectly with the tribes east of
the Rocky mountains, and with
tribes as far north as Vancouver
Island, Canada. The number and
location of their trading posts is
unknown and remains a question
. *n the minds of anthropologists.
However, fragments of knives,
. dishes and tools, all foreign to the
native Wasco Indians of The
- J?aIlef region, bear out the theory
that the Indians of many tribes
were using The Dalles region as a
trading post long before the ap
pearance of Lewis and Clark in
1805.
Whether these Indians all came
to The Dalles area to do their
trading or exchanged goods in
many similar trading areas, bar
tering of this kind would have en
tailed a trading route, for many
of the tribes were virtually cut
off from the coastal region by the
Rocky mountains.
Cressman named the Columbia
river as perhaps a principle trade
route. Numerous other rivers were
also in the trading route, for the
evidence points to a greater
amount of inland trading rather
than coastal trading.
Cressman added that it was
difficult to tell which Indians had
actually done the trading, and
which tribes passed on what they
had received from other tribes. i
