DALLAS (/P)—'The body of Maj.
Gen. Walter C Short, 69, army
commander at Pearl Harbor when
the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7, '

weeks later he retired.
In 1946, a Congressional investi- ;

name of charges he was derelict of
duty al Pearl Harbor.
A Presidential board of inquiry
had pinned that label on Short
and Admiral Husband E. Kimmel,
naval commander at Pearl Harbor.
The Congressional group said they j
made errors of judgment but were
not derelict.
Short is survived by his widow
and son, Maj. Walter Dean Short.

Find Remains of
Primitive Man
In Wyoming
NEW YORK, </P>—Extensive re
mains of a primitive group of
hunters, who roamed the Ameri
can West thousands of years be
fore Christ’s birth, have been un
earthed near Cody, Wyo., it was
disclosed here today.
Dr. Loren Eiselev of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania said the
Wyoming camp site probably
dates back to between 5,000 and
12.000 years before Christ.
He called the find one of the
most important ever made in con
nection with the culture of the
Yuma, the nomadic group who
disappeared centuries ago as a j
cultural unit. They were among
the earliest known inhabitants of
the new world. j
Dr. Eiseley estimated that the1
ancient camp site covered about
600 suare feet of a terrace over
looking Sage Creek, five miles
northeast of Cody.
The valuable deposit of tools,
weapons and food remains were
preserved through the centuries
by dusty desert sands, now cover
ing the camp site to a depth of
about ten feet.
Many Die Over
Week-End Holiday
• By The Associated Press)
The nation yesterday grimly
counted a record breaking acci
dental death toll for the three-day
Labor Day holiday.
The full count of fatalities was
not yet tabulated but the more
than 500 persons who lost their
lives in accidents over the extend
ed holiday was the largest for any
Labor Day in history.
The highways took the heaviest
toll. Of the 505 persons killed in
violent accidents, 379 lost their
lives in automobile mishaps. The
traffic total was nearly 100 above
the estimated 80 probable death
toll made by the national safety
council. Forty-five persons drown
ed and 8 died in accidents of mis
cellaneous causes.
This year’s Labor Day total com
pared with the previous high of
428 over the 1937 Labor Day holi
day.

this spring as delegate to the Re
bekah Assembly in Walla Walla,
Wash., after which she visited with
