Scientists Find Remains Of Viking Settlement
In America 500 Years Before Columbus
WASHINGTON (UPI) - At
last scientists have found the
remains of a Viking community
;in North America.
; The settlement was founded
;nearly 500 years before Christo
pher Columbus sailed to the
New World in 141)2.
It may well be the Vinland
which, according to the Ice
landic sagas, was established
around 1000 A.D. by Leif Eric-
,son. popularly known in his
day as Leif the Lucky. It is on
the northern tip of Newfound
land near die fishing village of
J'Anse Aux Meadows.
The discovery of what so far
appears to be the only scientif
ically authenticated Norso re
mains in America was made
by the Norwegian explorer Dr.
Helge lnstad, who reported his
findings at a news conference
hero Tuesday.

a "road map" made by Leif
and reported in detail by the
sagas. The sagas are legendary
Norse narratives, handed down
by word of mouth from genera
tion to generation.
The sagas say Leif and his
fleet of longboats sailed from
western Greenland around 1000
A.D., arrived at the coast of
Labrador, sailed down the
coast until tliey passed a steep
sided island in a fairly large
fiord, and wound up a short
distance beyond at a sandy
strand fringed by luxuriant
grasslands.

Fish Eggs
Collected
MOUNT SHASTA - Salmon
egg collections at the Iron
Gate Dam ended Wednesday
with approximately 3,500,000
eggs gathered. They were
brought to Mount Shasta for in
cubation. More than 32,000 fish were
counted ascending the Shasta
River and allowed to spawn
naturally. According to fish
hatchery personnel, the Iron
Gate Dam and the Shasta Riv
er counts were above average
this year.
Salmon eggs collected and
found not mature enough to be
spawned now wore taken by
truck to nearby Bogus Creek
and released to spawn natur
ally. Hatchery officials said with
in a few years the hatchery
provisions should be complete
enough at Iron Gate to handle
the entire salmon run without
moving the eggs to another location.

guists, the "vin" in Vinland
meant grass. And according to
Dr. Junius Bird of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural His
tory, if you follow the route de
scribed in the sagas to the site
excavated by tngstad, "you
can't miss it."
Discovery Almost Miracle
Nevertheless, "it was almost
a miracle," Bird said, that Ing
stad found anything at all to
unearth. The old Norse build
ings, nine houses and a primi
tive smithy, were built of sandy
sod which long since has crum
bled, leaving only their outlines
plus some typical Norse
hearths and the rusty remains
of Viking iron smelting.
If, in the nearly 10 centuries
since the settlement was aban
doned, somebody had planted
potatoes or other crops over
the old building sites, the evi
dence would have been de
stroyed forever.
Instad's findings, authenticat
ed after three years of pain
staking excavation, were re
ported at a news conference
sponsored by the National Geo
graphic Society, which helped
to finance his 1963 work.
Disarmament Talks Pushed
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(UPIi Thirty-nine nations to

Sxnsorcd the measure in the
political committee. It calls up
on the 17-nalion conference to
give "urgent and sustained at
tention to the study of the var
ious collateral measures which
, . . seem promising of early
agreement."
Specifically mentioned were
measures to reduce the risk of
war by accident or by surprise
attack, and measures intended
to prevent the spread of nuclear
weapons lo countries which do
not now have them.
Although the resolution re

Big Anti-Missile Weapon
May Be Shown By Soviets
MOSCOW (UPD The Soviet
Union's top secret "anti missile
missile" may be shown Thurs
day during Moscow's massive
parade marking the 4Mh anni
versary of the Russian revolu
tion. Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev once boasted it could "hit
a fly in outer space."
A giant missile, covered by
canvas on a truck bed, has
been seen at midnight dress re
hoarsals for the annual military
view in Red Square. It appears
to be 50 to 55 feet long much
longer than the first and second
generation surface-to-air mis
siles displayed in previous pa
rades. The Communists claim one of
tlte earlier types shot down
Francis Gary power's U2 over
the Soviet Union in HI60.
The canvas-covered model ap
parently has extra large fins,
presumably for intricate ma
neuvering at high speeds and
altitudes.
Almost nightly, tanks, rocket
launchers and military hard
ware of all description have
rumbled through the streets in
preparation for the show before
Khrushchev and other members
of the Communist hicrarchv.
