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

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

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.

Protest Decision
Oakland, Ore. (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.
