Missionary-Slaying Indians One Of World's Least-Known Tribes e - C u r a r a y R R. V I I. . , ' , ' " : eu V' v ( 1N TV riTt missionaries were slain recently in the Jungle-fastness f eastern Ecuador. Shaded portion of map (upper center) ihowi where the 1,000 Auca Indians one of world's least-known tribes, hold forth. WASHINGTON-Ecuador's Auca Indians, suspected of slaying five United States missionaries recent ly, remain among the least known tribes on the face of the earth, Roaming the unexplored forests of the "Oriente," the back country of eastern Ecuador beyond the Anrftt alnnn kAaHu.ftlAi. AfMhA Amazon, these people take their very name from word meaning Teocwous or enemy. outsiders rarely nave oravea the tribesman's haunts, an area fit Inrttirnna haat Ivlnir kfttuAAn the Curaray and Napo Rivers, the National Geographic Society says. Sometimes they have glimpsed or sensed the wary war riors fading phantomlike Into their trackless fastnesses. Decorate Their Bodies The Aucas number perhaps 2.000 In all. The males are stout and affect long hair. In the ovenlike climate they pursue "their warring and hunting, smeared eerily with bright clays, and wearing little eke. In ceremonial dances, they add feather headdresses and thread and feather amulets. Many of thorn stretch their ear lobes to grotesque lengths, some- I times to the shoulders. Such adornment Is shared by the worn- . . . .1.. - . . .1 en oniy auer marriage, reamers projecting at 45-degree angles are inserted through punctured holes in the nose. Monkey teeth dangle trom lips. The men are monogamous, al though chiefs may take two wives, one authority asserts. Spears I'sed in Warfare The warriors appear not to have adopted bows and arrows. They rely upon long, heavy hardwood spears in warfare. One party which braved the Aucas domain was received with showers of such weapons. They saved their lives only s with heavy gunfire, which finally routed the Indian attack ers. All attempt to civilize the Aucas hae been fiercely resisted. They even shun the other Indian jungle tribes, who hold them In extreme fear. The scant Impres sions made by white men in the Kcuadorean Oriente since Spanish explorations in the 16th century have left the Aucas unaffected by any form of civilization. , Headhunteri Shun Aucas In the Oriente, inhabited by many Indians, the Jivaros (Jibar os) are probably the largest tribe. They reside in the southeastern jungles along the Pastaza, Noman goza, Santiago, Zamora, L'pano and Moroni Rivers. - Also rebellious, they long have stood off white men's Intrusion, Including early efforts to enslave them for gold production. Fond of feuding with other tribes, they are renowned as htadhunters, employ ing an old process to shrink en emies' heads. But even Jivaros seldom are known to tangle with the Aucas. , "Soft Green Carpet" Seen from the air, the forest abode of the nomadic fighters spreads like a soft green carpet beyond the reach of the eye. Sluggish-appearing rivers weave - yel low designs, overhung by ribbons of mist from the humid forests. The rivers are the only thorough fares. But for the noisy birds-parrots, macaws, long beaked toucans and others of brilliant hues an Im memorial silence Would hover across much of the area's lovely but dangerous jungle. Miots upreal Across India: '600 Said Dead BOMBAY, India Ll - Rebellion against the Nehru government's ideas of re-partitioning the Indian 1 states along language lines spread Saturday across the subcontinent. : Communists obviously were, In the I Violence was reported spreading as far away as Calcutta, the blg j f est city, and Madras State in the extreme southeast. It started here on the west coast last Monday In ! this second largest city. There was 'a brief upsurge of violence in ' Bombay late Saturday night after lull. I As many as 600 persons may have been killed in Bombay city and atate since Monday, but offi cial figures were far below that. Responsible observers have count ed 200 dead in Bombay. In the seventh straight day of violence It was apparent that Com munists were seizing on and exploiting the so-called language riots as the best weapon they have found against Nehru. The spread of violence was re emphasized Saturday when Anwr I lean evangelist Billy Graham flew, ! on schedule, the 600-odd miles from j Bombay to Madras city to carry on his Asian revival campaign, f Graham had landed here last mid-week In the midst of rioting over Prime Minister Nehru's deci sion to federalize and set Bombay city apart from nearby states in the reshuffling to conform roughly with language lines. As Graham arrived on the east coast, Madras state was wracked by demonstrations and violence. Businesses have been suspended for three days or so In several Tamil-speaking towns of south Madras. Madras state lost a large part of its coastal area in 1SS3 when the Telugu-speaking atate of And hra was carved out of it. - Red leaders at their fourth Mala bar Communist Party conference at Mahe, a port in former French India, .protested Saturday against federalizing Bombay and demand ed an inquiry into shooting by Bombay police. These police have orders to shoot looters and arson ists on sight. Bombay police shot dead !ive torch-bearing rioters in the streets late Saturday night. r ........ r . ' Legal Study of Presidents' Replacements Nearly Ready By F.DMOND le BRETON WASHINGTON I - The results of one of the quietest congressional Inquiries ever conducted into the legal problems raised by a Presi dent's illness will be published In about two weeks. Without giving any publicity to Its work, the House Judiciary Committee has asked former Pres idential, vice presidents and sec retaries of state and a selected group of law scholars and political scientists about 60 in all for Admission Fee ' Irks Residents SAO PAt'LO, Brazil - Paul liiai are complaining about pay ing a five cruzeiro 74i cents' ad mission fee to talk to Gov. Janio Quadros. -The governor's offices are located In Ibirapuera Park, where the fourth Sao Paulo centen nial was held. The pavilions are still standing and, to enter the park, the fee is charged. THEFT STRIKES HOME PARIS, Tex. un Patricia Ann. 4, would like the person who took a hat and scarf from her snow man this week to know they be longed to her daddy, Archie Sparks, who wants them back. I their Ideas on such questions as these: If it should ever be necessary to determine formally whether a I President is disabled to the extent that someone else must take over the powers and duties of the office, who should raise the question? Who would settle it? Is it constitutionally possible for a vice president to replace a dis abled President, but to hand the powers and responsibilities back if the President recovers during the term? Is any legislation needed to clear up the uncertainties? Should the constitution be amended? President Eisenhower told a news conference Thursday he hod given a great deal of thought to the subject during his recent ill ness and he said: "I do believe that there should i be some agreement on the exact meaning of the constitution, who has the authority to act." Committee sources said about So replies have been received in Its current study and that the opinions are anvthlnf but unanimous. Rut the actual opinions are being clow-' ly guarded until a summary report' is brought out early In February, Then the committee, which last week appointed a special subcom mittee on presidential Inability, will decide now to proceed. Division Into Boroughs Voted,. At Alaska Meet FAIRBANKS, Alaska I - Dele gates to Alaska's constitutional convention voted to divide the fu ture state into boroughs instead of counties. The convention is nearing the end of its 75-day session. The docu ment it drafts must be submitted to Alaska's voters. If they ap prove it, the constitution will be sen to Congress in "the hope it will bolster the campaign for statehood. McKay Certain President to Run CASPER, Wyo. - Secretary of the Interior McKay is confident President Eisenhower will seek re-election. He made the prediction Friday night at a "Salute to Eisenhower" dinner meeting here in which he referred to the President as "the foremost man of our day." McKay also again denied charges that his department was embarked upon a "giveaway" pro gram. That is "pure election year bunk," he said. FleeingTrio Charged With Armed Theft - . FAIRBANKS, Alaska t - Two men and a woman whose flight through Canada was stopped by the United States Army were charged Saturday with an armed robbery in Alaska. Held here in the federal jail ire Zetty Ann Walker. 21. a widow, from Anchorage, Alaska, and '.wo airmen from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Anchorage, The airmen are John A.

Magaw, Carragan and Mrs, Walker were stopped south of the Canadian-Alaska border by i northbound U.S. Army convoy en route from Ft. Lewis, Wash., to Alaska for winter maneuvers. They had failed, to stop at Snag, Canadian-American customs tion, crashing through a barrier and speeding off down the highway at high speed.
