PHILADELPHIA, Feb.. 30, (/P)—
Relics of people who lived in
Alaska 1,000 year3 ago, differing
greatly from Eskimo, have been
received at the University of
Pennsylvania which sent an ex
pedition to Point Harrow.
The relics include skeletons, ob
jects of wood, ivary and whale
bone, typical of the Thule cul
ture of East Siberia, said Dr. J.
Alden Mason, curator of the
American section of the museum.
Alfred Hopson, director of the
expedition, said they found graves
containing 30 bodies only two
feet deep. The bodies were on
driftwood planks; implements
were between the posts on each
side of the heads. There were nc
coffins the bodies being wrapped
in animal skins.
Further investigation revealed
houses, unlike igloos, constructed
of whalebone and driftwood, rec
tangular in shape, similar to the
Thule culture.

TIFF COMMISSION
IS IDF. CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Feb,, 10, (/Pi—An
earnest effort is going to be made
in congress to reorganize the pres
ent Tariff Commission,
A compromise between the views
of President Hoover as embodied in
the tariff bill passed by ne house
and the provisions of an entirely
different character written into the
senate bill is being sought.
When the measure was last de
bated in the senate, the issue was
sharply drawn between the Presi
dent and his opponents. Congress
will not consent to a delegation of
all tariff making powers to the exe
cutive, while President Hoover is
just as determined that the old
idea of a board to recommend
changes to congress does fioi lead
to constructive action.
