WORLD EIGHTS HEsnvrn llPfc 3 Til ' JtII ff Ancient Mayan Civilization lO J Mexico City U.R) That lave where the sun hides at ijight is going to be explored by ipnerican archeologists. Buried cities and a "lost tribe of the ancient Mayan civiliza tion also will be the goal of a $955 joint American-Mexican ex- jjeamun jniu me uuuiappeu. jungles near the Guatemalan Border. I Archeologists Frederick Pet erson of Sheboygan, Wis., and .juan Leonard, American-born rjesident of Mexico City, said tjieir safaji will obtain "all pos sible" scientific information of 3 virtually unknown area that dnce may have been a strong hold of the vanished Mayan Em pire. ' 'I'" " to Explore Blank Spots The expedition,, one . of .the largest , and most ambitious in rhany years, will hack its way through the tropical rain - forest tb orchid-hung Lake Miramar in Chiapas State next February. From a supply base . there, r the archeologists will explore systematically- the blank spots on the map between the. Usumacin ti and Jacate rivers. " t The area is the home of the last-disappearing Lacandone In dians, believed to be descendants ,of the once-mighty Mayans. Peterson said the "cave of the sun, a huge underground cav 0 ejrn jaboo to Lacandones, will be studied thoroughly for the fjrst. time. The cave, possibly lnrspr than the famed Carls- Ijad : Caverns in New Mexico, may1 contain remnants of early civilizations: " "Because it is taboo to the In dians, who believe that the sun goes there to rest every night we hope that any traces of early rpan will have been undisturbed through the centuries," said Pe terson. d The 35-year-old archeologist jid his partner penetrated near-ly- a mile into the cave a year go, but were forced to turn tpek because of lack of sup plies. Leonard, 42, whose spec ialty is anthropology, said that (ithis time we want to see just how big it really is, and I'm Moping we'll find evidence that njan may have lived there cen Stiries ago." o J Peterson said the three known croups of Lacandone Indians are fast disappearing, and "we want to obtain all possible informa tion from them before we lose fftrever their traditions." He said the expedition also (tounfy School Hearing '.program To Be Subject 3 j The hearing program for the sfchool-age child in the Jackson cbunty schools will me demon slrSted at 2:30 p.m. Sunday on tpe bi-weekly television program cfE the Jackson County.

"There are many streams and lakes in the area which could easily have supported large pop ulations in the past," Peterson added. "We are certain, ihat must be lost cities, and part of our job will be to locate them for future uncovering."

Legislators Due Welfare Report Sale m (U.R) A proposal to spend $800,000 in the next bien noum for improved public wel fare administration in Oregon was included in a report ready for submission to the legislature today by an interim committee on public welfare. . The committee, created by the 1953 Legislature to study .wel fare problems, recommended that the legislature appropriate $600,000 for a hospital for crip pled children and $200,000 to hire extra legal counsel to prose cute non-iupport cases. The committee was headed by former Sen. Rex Ellis . of Pen dleton. . In line with the non-support recommendation, the committee suggested increasing the one-year jail sentence now possible for fathers who refuse to support their children to three, or five years. . The hospital proposed for crip pled children would be a 60-bed institution operated in connec tion with the University of Ore gon medical school. Bills implementing the recom mendations have yet to be sub mitted to the Legislature.

(U.R) Oak land, Ore., high school students abandoned their classes en masse yesterday afternoon in a protest against the school board's action in accepting . the resignation of School Superintendent "James Cummings. , " Students walked out of the school shortly after 1- p.m. The action was decided upon at a secret student body meeting in the high school gym yesterday morning.. , Banners on Streets Banners displaying the words "We want Cummings" and school cheers incorporating the same message became common on the city's ' streets. Handbills were passed out to merchants and shoppers. Cummings, who was out of the city during much of the demonstration, persuaded t.h e striking students to - return to their classes immediately after his return. The protest had its beginning Wednesday night when the scho.ol board accepted the resig nations of Cummings and Clyde Akey, principal of the element ary school. Akey's resignation had been ' demanded by Cum mings. The school board last week indicated Akey's resigna tion would not be accepted un less Cummings also resigned, which he did. To Consider Petition School board chairman Leo Sparks said a petition signed by the 148 high school students protesting the resignation " of Cummings would be considered by the board at its budget meet ing tonight. ."
