NEW crop of buried treasure legends apparently is springing up all over the United States. ‘The Bureau of American Et nology of the Smithsonian In stitution is receiving a continual succes sion of requests to translate supposedly cabalistic messages found on rocks and cave walls, especially through the South. ‘These generally are pictographs made by the former Indian inhabitants. Some of the Southeastern tribes were reported | by early explorers to have displayed | vast amounts of gold and especially | The idea has spread that they | pearls. buried these to conceal them from the invading Spanish and French and left directions in their own writing to fi the locations. Pictographs are sc tered all over that part of the countr; Actually, according to Dr. Mathew W. Stirling, chief of the Bureau of Am ican Ethnology, these pictographs can- not be interpreted by any man now liv- ing and the majority probably had no meaning even to the Indian who made them. An act of exceptional bravery among_some of the Southeastern I lians, he says, was for an individual | to enter the enemy’s territory, commit | some act of vandalism or even murde: and get back to his own village with- out being detectede As proof of his | exploit he would “write his name” on some conspicuous rock in the invaded reglon. That is, he would make a | | | example, & bear, He was impelled by | approximately the same sort of psy- | chology as is the college bravo who | steals out at night and paints his class numerals on the chapel roof. Day Dream Expressions. In other cases observations of pres- | ent-day Indians indicate, a rock would be covered with pictures by an Indian | “just passing the time away.” Such drawings were only expressions of the individual's day dreaming—of consid- erable interest to psychologists but hardly intended to convey any ordered train of thoughts. Many men have a tendency to cover a blank sheet with apparently meaningless designs - while | they sit thinking or talking. The In- dian was actuated by the same sort of psychological mechanism, In still other cases, Smithsonian eth- nologists point out, the pictures on th rocks were a manifestation of the most world-wide belief in sympathe magic which was shared by the In dians. To draw a picture of a bea with an arrow through its heart wa considered & preliminary step to actu- ally killing the bear. There is little doubt, Dr. Stirling | | says, that in some cases the drawer | of a pictograph wished to convey some | | message or make a permanent record of an event. But he had nothing ap- | an alphabet. lew standard symbols at the | proach! ‘There were | only a ciations. Even a contemporary Indian 1 of the same tribe probably would have had considerable difficulty in inter- preting the message. In most cases it would have been meaningless even to a member of a neighboring tribe. Any present-day attempt at interpretation is hopeless. The impression that these pictographs constitute a code of some sort is & natural one, Mr. Stirling says. Conse- quently it is not surprising that any one who has had the imagination stirred by buried treasure stories should believe that the picture of a bear on the face of & prominent boulder conveys an elaborate message describing the loca- tion of a hidden treasure nearby. But this would have been far from the thought process of a primitive Indian. Accounts Exaggerated. Actually, Dr. Stirling points out, the accounts of the Spanish explorers of the wealth displayed in the Indian vil- lages through which they passed doubt- less are enormously exaggerated. The so-called Muskogean culture of the Southeastern States was one of the highest attained i primitive North America, but the wish for great wealth was often father to the thought in the minds of such men as De Soto and his | Indians doubtless | companions. _The had some gold. They also had con- siderable quantities of fresh water pearls, which they treasured highly but which' would have no value today. Many requests for interpretations of supposedly cabalistic directions buried treasure come from Texas where, it appears, there is a persistent legend the great quantities of gold were brought from Mexico by Spanish explorers_who were killed in battles with the Indians. The Indian mounds found through | much of the Mississippi region also are believed by many to be caches of Indian treasures. This belief, Smith- sonian archeologists point out, is entirely without foundation. Many mounds were used for burial of the dead. Excavation often reveals cher- ished personal objects interred with the bones of prominent Indians. But | such opjects have no material value and ar® of interest only as they throw light on the pre-Columbian culture pattern.

MILWAUKEE, June 27.—The Central Conference of American Rabbis, in ses- sion yesterday, was advised by its Com- mittee on & World Jewish Congress to refrain from calling a world meeting on | Jewish problems until American Jewery is unified. The committee, after study- ing various proposals many months held that Jews of America were working at cross purposes and that a world con- gress now would start under a handicap so serious that there would be doubt of worth-while accomplishment. The report was prepared by Dr. Wil- liam Rosenau of Baltimore, chairman of the committee. He was unable to attend the conference, however, and the committee findings were presented by Rabbi H. C. Enelow, New York; S. H. Goldenson, Pittsburgh; Abram Simon, Washington; Jonah B. Wise, New York, and Jacob R. Marcus, Cin- cinnati. The committee was hopeful, how- ever, that a world congress may be called, soon to cope with problems of can participation in such a eongress was outlined. It was proposed that the American Jewish Committee, the American Jew- ish Congress and the B'Nai B'Rith ap- point from their officers and boards representatives to a “super board.” This super board, it was suggested, should then establish contacts with representative groups of Jewries in Eu- rcpe and elsewhere to work out plans for a world meeting.
