took Graham’s records to the cap
itol for scrutiny by the sub-com

As Man’s Ancestor
«(/P) Newsfeatures*
CAIFO—Along a rugged desert
escarpr.ient some 50 miles south
west ol Cairo, where erosion has
exposed age-old alluvial deposits
containing many fossils, the Uni
versity of California’s African Ex
pedition has begun a search for
remains of Propliopithecus, the
earliest known ape, which some
scieni s consider a possible* an
cestor of man.
The escarpment north of the
Lake of the Horns at Fayum,
Egypt was chosen for the search
because it is rich in fossils and be
cause the only previous trace of
Propl'v . ithecus—half of his lower
jaw and the teeth to match—was
found in this region about 40
years ago.
Members of the expedition, who
have es ablished their base in a
house o', the Egyptian Antiquities
departs nt beside the Pyramids
of Giza, recently completed an in
itial three-day reconnaissance of
their hunting ground.

Soviets Using
Slave Labor In
War Industries
___
PHILADELPHIA, (/P> — Rep.
Franklin J. Maloney <R.-Pa.) as
serted today that the Russians are
; using German and Austrian forced
! labor “in the thousands” in a
1 massive war production under
taking behind the Ural mountains.
The legislator who recently re
turned from a seven-week tour of
, Europe said he received his in
I formation from a high German
' churchman.
“The Soviets,” Maloney said in
| an interview, “are calling in men
i —and some women too—from the
j Russian-occupied zones of Ger
many and Austria. Their families
! never hear from them again.”
Maloney said the Soviet war
production campaign is “a tre
mendous undertaking” and that
reliable informants told him the
Soviets are making projectiles
and tanks—“although I don’t
know why”—in their Ural factor
' ies.
