MEPFORD 1TL TRIBUTE, M"EDFORI), OREGON. TJIUESPAY, OCTOBER 26, 1933. PAGE THREE RUSSIA MAY BE CRADLE OF SCIENCEJHEORY Closer Relations Between U. S. and Soviets Will Permit Exploration of Vast Geological Lockbox KMED Broadcast Schedule By HOMER M'COY. NEW-YORK, Oct. 36. (AP) To ward Russia, laoratory of political precepts. Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews1 Is turning a scientific eye on the the ory that It may be tfte cradle of mankind. In the closer fraternity that la now developing between the United States and the soviet government, as evi denced by the impending discussions between President Roosevelt and Foreign Commissar Lltvlnoff, Dr. An drews see a scientific reapproach ment that may make more accessible for exploration a vast lockbox of ge ological secrets. Its a Huge Pie. Dr. Andrews, geologist, paleontolo gist, zoologist, explorer of the ends of the earth, finder of dinosaur eggs that failed to hatch millions of years ago, today told of what he hopes to find somewhere In the soviet union's Asiatic territory. It's a huge pie, he said, and thus far only the edges have been nibbled. His expeditions Into the Gobi desert amoUnted merely to casual peeps In to what he considers humanity's North of Mongolia and Into Siberia, east and Into Russian Turkes- tan, may be burled some chapters of the story of the rocks. Soviet to Aid. Dr. Andrews has made no Immedi ate plans for a scientific foray Into this region, largely because of the re trenchment program under which the American Museum of. Natural history Is operating. But when he Is ready, he has the assurance that the Soviet's scientists will cooperate fully- "Last summer I conferred with of ficials of the Russian Academy of Science was gratified to learn how willing they were to assist in any work I might undertake there. They have a keen interest in science, both pure and applied." He explained Asiatic Russia's Im portance In the search for pre-his- toric knowledge. Asia Once Center. All roads once led from the Interior of Asia, millions of yeares before they converged on Rome. Many things began there, it is his theory; then they moved out. The huge reptiles, the mammals that followed them, finally man, fol lowed definite patfis of migration, one west and south to Europe, the other up through what is now Si beria and Into North America, across the overland passage once thought to have existed between the two con tents. , No one has followed that path carefully in search of what priml tlve man left behind .him, he said. For example, the mystery of what happened to the dunes-people might be solved along the Siberian trail. Only yesterday, geologically speaking -about 20,000.000 years the dunes- people Inhabited Mongolia. No Fossils Found. No fossils of the race have been found, only their implements. "What happened to them?" asked Dr. Andrews. "They couldn't have simply vanished. They probably moved north and east, and If we follow their ancient route ve may find out." Then, there is the missing link In the evolution of the horse. Paleon tologists have traced the horse from Eohlppus, a small, four-toed animal, X HEALTH MEANS CHARM AND HAPPINESS Sparkling eyes ana smiling lips speak of health and vitality. Clear skin attracts.

It Is being openly charged that the "spoils system Is supplanting the merit system through chicanery." And unless public criticism forces the present administration to chance its sttltude we will carry it to the coming session of congress. But In the meantime the D. A. V. Intends to let it be known that It Is fully aware of what Is going on to the detriment of veterans and Intends to be In the forefront of the fight to compel admission of the civil service or so change conditions that the present lawa be respected without evasion.
