MYSTERIOUS

WHITE TRIBE leaves

A

mysterious "white"

tribe exists hidden in the mountains of Afghanistan, a Japanese professor said today. He is Hideao Sawata a professor of geology at Kyoto University, who left Hongkong by Air India today.

Dr Sawatá is travelling as

an advanced guard for an, expedition of six other geologists who will travel into the Pamirs of Afghanistan at the end of the year. Dr Sawata said that there

has been evidence of several "pale looking natives whose origin is unknown."

"Other geologists and ex- plorers have seen on many occasions Euro- pean-like natives in the area before. "We have reason to believe

that there could be some hidden tribe or city in Afghanistan which has so far been untouched by Western civilisation. "At present I am merely going ahead to arrange facilities und there will be no real investiga- tion until the full ex- pedition arrives. "However, I am sure that when the expedition is we will come up with a few big sur- prises."
