Jam Project To Destroy Ancient Ruins By TERRANCE W. McGARRY MEXICO CITY (UPI) -The waters of the Grijalva River are rising inexorably today behind Latin America's largest toward an archeological treasure trove apparently doomed to be lost forever. A last-ditch appeal by artists and aircheologists to halt the rising waters and mount an Aswan Dam-style rescue opera- ion to save the ruins of ancient ndian civilizations has apparently failed. Two of the Malpaso Dam's hree sluice gates were closed ast week, and the other is: scheduled to shut soon.

A force of 13 ncluding a group from Brig- lam Young University in Utah hundreds of men are working furiously to salvage asi many relics as possible from 1 he almost 200 sites in the area.

Study of the ruins could reveal how the cultures met and influenced each other, and solve puzzles that archeoiogists lave been working on for generations, experts said. A group of artists, archeolo- Jsts and-historians cabled a special petition to President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz in May, and followed it up by sending a delegation to talk to members of the President's staff. They argued that it will take from 18 months to two years to install the hydroelectric generators in the giant dam. and thus its gates could remain open until the work is completed, giving the rescue party time to Eind, photograph or haul out more ruins and artii-cts.

The answer, apparently, is "no." Agustin Yanez, Secretary of Education, emerged from a conference with the President to say that all possible steps are being taken to salvage as THURSDAY COOKIE SALE 15 KINDS ASSORTED REGULARLY PRICED AT 45c flOZ. 3 $1.00 BON TON STAPLE FOOD PRICES 1958 HU JUNE '65 JUNE '66. 20 -i BREAD db.)
