Flat e Back wn mm- CAN-PEOPLE CAME RDM AS By Associated Press. Washington, April 10. After study ing the peoples along the fringe of Asia from Siberia to Sumatra in Herre fort to trace the original American, Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams, one 'of Americas foremost women explorers, in a letter to the National Geographic Society today expresses the opinion that the ancient "Americ" peoples came by sea, possibly in broken stages, from Asia. Mrs. Adams has just re turned to this country. She writes: "This earlier immigration, however, was at a very remote period, for our pre-historic monuments point to an in digenous culture. A branch of an old world race, these 'early Americans' evolved to their higiiest civilizayon on new world soil." Mrs. Adams is confident that a closer study of the Indo-Chinese branch of the yellow race, the Malay, Chinese and Tibetas, as compared to our pre historic civilization, will shed new light on the problem of tracing the original American. Although scientists are said to agree that America was peopled by way of the northwest, Mrs. Adams doubts that all Americans came this way. In the Philippines Mrs. Adams saw Ifugaos warriors who resemble Aymara, chiefs of the Andean highlands . in spite of the difference in climate. "This is not strange when we class the Ifugaos as Malays of . the Indo Chinese branch of the yellow race and believe that ancient America was peo pled from Asia," declares Mrs. Adams. "Not only among certain Malay mountain tribes but also In ' western China was I constantly reminded of things American,' but never among people of ancient lineage. In olden days great war canoes were paddled by many oarsmen -from .one South Sea Island to another. It sems like ly that in this fashion men set sail from the Malay peninsula with their wives and children, food, household goods and domestic animals aboard and aided-by "wind and tide reached the Promised Land, some palm fring ed isle in the tropic sea." Mrs. Adams has recordb of many small boats that apparently were blown across the Pacific, one of them a Japanese fishirlg boat which landed its unwilling immigrants alive and well on Califomian soil two years ago.

The situation concern ing the oil properties is thus described in an official-statement: "Several oil' tanks have been struck, one is on fire and oil is running into the river.
