Made Reconnaissance Trip
Over Seattle During War
Tnkvn. Anril 5 U.R) Cant.
Samuel Eliot Morlson, official
United States navy historian and
Harvard professor, said today a
Japanese search plane success
fully made a reconnaissance of
Seattle and reported on shipping
In Puget Sound during World
War II.
Launched from Sub
Morison aald the plane was
launched from a submarine. He
said . the Japanese could have
gained a great advantage in the
sneak inspection if they had
been right in their hunch that
the United States navy was
building up a big force there
for an operation in the Aleutians.
Morison has been here two
weeks talking to former Japa
nese naval leaders and studying
Japanese archives on the war.
He Is writing a 14-voIume his

men found it was no fish story
when they were called to a house
to extinguish a blaze started by
the reflection of the sun's rays
through a goldfish bowl.
Despite the Japanese recon
naissance, M o r i s o n said the
United Slates navy discounted
the value of plane-carrying sub
marines and had found them im
practical. Great Believer
However, he told the Tokyo
Correspondents' club he was a
"great believer" in carrier-based
airpowcr. He said it would be a
mistake to abandon it.
He said the Japanese navy
contributed no new and useful
strategic or tactical conceptions
during the Pacific war except
for the idea of an independent
carrier striking force.
'They were the first to use it,"
he said, "at Pearl Harbor."

Egyptian Workmen Uncover
Bodies Buried 5,000 Years
Helwan, Egypt, Apr. 5 (U.R)
Skilled Egyptian workmen today
uncovered the well preserved
bodies of four men and two
women burled for at least 5,000
years.
King Farouk financed the ex
cavation In which workers spe
cially selected for their delicate
touch used shaving brushes to
clear the last grains of sand from
the coffins of grass In which the
bodies had reposed for 50 cen
turies.
From First Dynasty
A young archeologist, Zakl
Saad. headed the expedition
which found the burial site, dat
ing from the first dynasty, in
this suburban town 15 miles
south of Cairo.
The old. dry grass disintegrat
ed at the slightest touch as the
coffins were being removed
and the bodies It had protected
since the dawn o! history began
to be visible for the first time
since about 3000 B.C.
The first body uncovered was
that of a woman. As the grass
was cleared painstakingly away,
her head still showed locks of
hair. The skull and teeth were
well preserved, and there was a
distinct feminine contour to the
rest of the body.
Burled on Left Side
The woman had been buried
on her left side, facing west,
with her head to the south. Her
knees were pulled up to the

NO TOTEM POLES
Manteo, N. C. (U.R) Secre
tary I. P. Davis of the Roanoke
Island Historical association is
used to peculiar requests, but
one for a totem pole stumped
him. A Baltimore radio man
wanted to buy a totem pole
about 25 or 30 feet tall. Davis
explained that the Indians who
inhabited the new world coast
during the days of the "Lost
Colony" were not totem pole
builders.

left cheek, the other rested on

Zakl Saad said It was custom

them for rebirth to eternal life.
Jars and skilfully worked
small alabaster vessels and
necklaces of colored stones lay
under the body. There was no

One of the male bodies showed
clear signs of having had a leg

Cat WitiTParfof
Brain Survives
Tulsa, Okla. (U.R)-rA female
cat with two-thirds of a brain
has been put to work here for
the betterment of mankind.
Dr. Averill Stowell, Tulsa neu
rosurgeon said some misconcep
tions of the human brain are
being corrected by his experi
ments on the cat. One-third of
the animal's brain was removed
in 11 delicate operations.
The cat appears normal, ex
cept for an exaggerated, pon
derous walk.
Stowell believes that humans,
like the cat, could operate with
as much as one-third of their
brains removed.
One of the false Ideas being
corrected in the experiments is
that the cerebellum, a principal
organ in the central nervous sys
tem, functions only to co-ordinate
muscles.
"We now believe that the
cerebellum has other functions,"
Stowell said. "We also believe
that other parts of the brain
have to do with co-ordination."

tom. The user operates the roll
ers by turning a small handle.
Ihe invention also is guaran
teed to get every bit of paste

by Leonard Whitson, an electric
meter tester for the city of Stillwater.

Legislatures of at least eight
