HASSOCK Associated Press Foreign staff PARIS, France, March 23. (AP) Fierce Arabs are believed by Andre Malraux, French explorer, to be guarding the secrets of the rich lost metropolis of the Queen of Sheba's reign against modern exploration. mairaux, who with his pilot. Cap- i tain Cornlgllon Mollnier, returned here yesterday. Is sure they found the "Paris" of the glamorous Sheba in a cluster of ruined towers and temples on the southwestern edge of the Ruba-el-Khall desert, which he Identified as the city of Nalth. Treasure Possibility The possibility that immensely val-! uable archaeological treasures In-! eluding the tombs of the queen and. her dynasty He burled In tlw sandy) waste is seen by Malraux, author and i archaeologist. "The Arab nomads who fired upon our plane when we flew over the city must be driven off, however, before exploration will be possible," Mal raux said. "Further research must await Brit ish pacification of the region. - "Until the desert is explored the exact location of the dead city can not be fixed," said Malraux, adding: "We were unable to take the longi tude and latitude of the spot wftlch we reached after five hours of flying almost due north from Djibouti, in French SomalUand." ( In their report on the flight March 8 to the French air ministry, the airmen indicated the city was about 1,000 miles southeast of Jeru salem. They had headquarters at Djibouti). "Explorers could mark the spot ex actly," Malraux went on, "by meas uring the number of miles from & given starting point." Believed Real Metropolis The size of the cemetery convinced Malraux he had found Sheba's real metropolis. "Sheba seemed to have three pro vinces," he said. "Mareb, previously believed to be the capital of all the great queen's territory, was merely the provincial capital, t believe, like Mein another known city. "Their cemeteries are only about a quarter of a mile long, while that of the newly discovered city is a mile and a quarter long. "This leads me to believe that Nalth was the capital of the kingdom." Malraux said the city itself was three miles long and about half as wide. Photos Show Ruins Exhibiting photographs taken at a height of a thousand feet over the legendary city, Malraux pointed out 20 temples and towers whose wlndow- less walls and set-back architecture like modern skyscrapers rising above the lower houses further convinced him the city dates to the time of the famous queen. The city, he said, is surrounded by the ruins of a double wall outside - TEHERAN U&TtmXL PERSIA .

The city Is believed by Malraux to Madame, you've undoubtedly already dis covered that you can't pick quality by the prettines9 of the package. Hills Bros. Coffee has maintained its quality. As a result, more people from Chicago to the Pacific buy Hills Bros. Coffee than any other brand. Hills Bros. Coffee may cost you a few cents more per pound. But you don't drink coffee by the pound. You drink it by the cup. Because the flavor is more abundant, Hills Bros. Coffee is ac tually more, economical to use than "bar gain counter" coffees. Order Hills Bros.

He sug gested that the queen's visit to Solo mon, as described In the Bible, may have been for an economic confer ence after her prime minister failed to make a trade agreement, for there was evidence that Jews later became more prominent In Sheba's commerce. Fan to tie Vision Captain Molluler, adding his Im pressions to their discussions of the hazardous flight, declared: "It was a fantAstlo vision," aa he described the magnificent white marble city over which they flew In the depths of the trackless desert of Arabia on March 8. Both said they were moved deeply when they first glimpsed the city's majestic towers and temples still standing a city sought for centu ries. "We left Djibouti (French Soma lUand, where they established a base), crossed the Red sea and flew over Yemen. We encountered a sand storm that raged five and one-half hours, but nevertheless continued,' Captain Mollnier related. "Soon we saw thousands of tombs that dot the Valley of Kings. Fin ally, at the edge of the great Ruba-el-Khalt desert, an extraordinary white city loomed up on the dark heights streaked with ancient Lcreams of lava. "We were above tin, city of the Queen of Sheba a storied capital abandoned centuries ago and prob ably visited only from time to time by wandering Bedouins, some of whom we saw. "These Bedouins gave us a bad re ception. We were greeted with rifle shots. There could be no thought of landing. Besides, the ground was rough and It would have been Im possible for an airplane to alight. "Our flight lasted nine hours."
