Contact with Romans? I "This." he said, tracing his finger over Kansu and Kokonor, "is the crossroads of Chinese civilization." I Mongol culture from the north, Ti-' betan and Indian influence from the south, seeped into a propitious funnel of river valleys which also i Chinese records claim gave China trade contact with the Romans in 500 B.C.

I "We know there was a dawning of human life in China 50 million years ago the Peking man proves that. But what happened since that i time and the Christian era? Our knowledge is scanty. We hope our excavations will throw light both on aboriginal life in what we now call China, and on what cultures and peoples migrated from where to I form the beginnings of the Chinese I race." The search for the birth of a na-ition will be carried out on an in-i flated Chinese shoestring. In terms of soaring exchange quotations on the U.S. dolllar, the expedition's cost is less than U.S.

Dr.

WC. Pei. research fellow of the Chinese national geological survey, who first unearthed the Peking man's remains near here in 1929. told the United Press that, local civil war conditions preclude another search for contemporaries of his ancient find, so he is looking elsewhere for new discoveries. Communist troops, he said, are en-ramped only three miles from the old excavatum site at Chaukoutien, 40 miles west of Peiping, whose hillv flanks are believed to secrete more skeletal bonanzas.

Original Remains Lost. Although the Peking Man's remains were mysteriously lost while being spirited our of Japanese reach 1941, exact copies are owned by museums throughout the world, so the loss. Dr. Pei says, "is not very erious." Further excavations, it is true should yield valuable skeletal pieces. L'p to now.

knowledge of the Peking man's appearance is fragmentary from the neck down. But at the moment Dr. Pei is more fired with plans to hold a ecological mirror to the Peking man's descendants. Half a palm's span southwest of Pciping on an average wall map lies the cradle of China. There, in what now is known as Shensi, Honan and southern Shansi, the Han race be-mn tilling land and building houses at a time when Rome stretched her sword into the forests of barbaric Kurope.
