Geologist Discovers Ups And Downs Of Ice Age America

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (UP).-Even Ice Age America, back in the days of a mammoth and bison hunter "population," had its economic ups and downs. This is the latest revelation of this country's past, unearthed in Colorado by Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., Smithsonian Institution archaeologist.

Finding a stratified corner at the now-famous Lindenmeier site, a camp and workshop occupied by the Folsom Man in the Ice Age, Dr. Roberts has charted about 1,000 years of very early American prehistory.

"IF the British Government had wanted to harm or rule our sacred places it could have done so years ago, but our British friends respect our religion and moreover they are not so greedy as to pounce upon unprotected countries and rob them of their liberty, as the Germans and the Italians are doing," said Inche Daud bin Mohamed Shah, president of the Malay Union, Singa pore, broadcasting a. Hari Raya message in Malay from the Singapore station recently.

Incho Mohamed Shah said: "All of you will agree with mo, that we inhabitants of Malaya have been and are living in peace under the protection of our most benign, British Government, without any trouble, whatever in fact we have been and are enjoying this protection.

He proceeded: "Bellalo is not only fighting for her own country, but she is fighting as a protector of the poor and small nations and that being so. It is our duty, to do all we can to help the British.

"One of the most outstanding and praiseworthy acts, our local Govern- ment has done for us consumers of rice and other foodstuffs is the con- trol of food prices. Many of us who lived during the last Great War would remember that the price of rice then rose up to $1.40 per gantang. You can imagine, then, what would happen now if our Government does not inke such a a measure.
