SOUTH SEA ISLE
ARTICLES TO BE
IN HUGE MUSEUM
Lincoln, Neb. UR The
University of Nebraska State
Museum, famous for its collec
tion of prehistoric fossils, has
opened a different sort of dis-i
play 1 50 rare items from the
South Sea islands.
The shark-tooth spears, wood
en hair combs, grass skirts and
other curios were collected more
than 40 years ago. Dr. C, B.
Schultz, director, said. At the
time L. W. Osborn, father of
the donor, gathered the items,
the islands were not yet in
fluenced by white tourists and
traders.
Returning South Pacific vet
erans may be familiar with the
islands from which the collec
tion came Tarawa, Ettis,
Samoa, the Gilberts, the Mar
shails and the Philippines but
they probably will not have
seen the curios, Schultz said.
The Polynesian display in
cludes grass mats of such intri
cate design that two years were
spent in making them. Bark
cloth pounded and rolled to
paper thinness and dyed with
native materials is another
prize.
Other unusual items are neck
laces made of shells so tiny 80
can be put in a teaspoon; bril
liantly colored grass skirts and
fans; war clubs, and a heavy
breast-plate, the native's idea of
protection from spears and ar
rows. MUKDEN ENTI

The house's compromise full em
ployment bill was denounced by

Miss., however, defended it. He

employment, depressions and in
flaSion. But Rep. John S. Gib

a "political compromise" which
resulted "in wht the people in
the south sometimes call a mis
conception," WhittinRton supported the
bill drafted by the house execu
tive expenditures committee by
saying that a senate-approved
version, endorsed by the admin

that would take us into state
socialism."
