This is his story: "For months we have worked toward the careful meeting. We went through a stretch of open land about 73 leagues inside Chavante territory. We left gifts in the bushes all around, knives, hatchets and agricultural tools, but all were refused.

"We insisted on the gifts and continued to wait patiently. We left pictures showing Indians fraternizing with white men, and to our surprise and joy we saw that they had taken them. "One day some Indians came to meet us, shouting and making friendly gestures. The chief broke a peace arrow in our presence. Then they asked us to participate in a group bath.

"Then a wizard put some kind of powder on us to drive out the evil spirits in us white men. They had warriors stationed all around watching for any suspicious movements.

FLESH OF AMERICAN WAR PRISONER EATEN BY JAPS Guam, (JP) Three Japanese junior naval officers told a U. S.

Military commission Saturday that they attended a grisly feast in a Chi-chi Jima cave where a half-dozen Japanese ate the flesh of an American war prisoner and washed it down with draughts of sake. Two of the three denied that they personally partook, but all agreed that Maj. Sueo Matoba brought the flesh to the cave. The major is one of the fourteen Japanese on trial on charges of murder, cannibalism and neglect of duty on the little island in the Bonin group during the war. The witnesses said the commandant, Vice Adm.

The service for Indian protection, directed by Gen. Candido Rondon, has been attempting to make peaceful contact with the elusive tribesmen for more than two generations.

Rondon, himself part Indian, is one of the world's authorities oa the Brazilian jungles and has been exploring them since 1900. His ex-. peditions go out with this strict order: "Die if necessary, but never kill." It takes men of uncommon courage for the expeditions. Rondon's explorers have more than a century of hate to overcome, for the Indians never have forgotten the bloody massacre of their ancestors by encroaching Europeans in 1826. The present contact, established by Francisco Furtado Soares de Me-Irelles, veteran agent of the Indian Protection Service, was the result By Lionel Mosher XXV rpHE car drove off.

They never advanced further from their camps, Once the Indians left gifts In exchange, but the jungle fruits they offered were found to be poisoned, The missionaries left 'other gifts at the place. Through the years a few individual contacts were es tablished. In 1941 several Indians agreed to eat with members of an expedition, an indication that they were ready to make peace. The Indians believe that only men who are brothers will eat together. Just as they were about to eat, some farmers torn a village near the camp arrived.

When the farmers, enemies of the Indians, also were invited to eat, the Indians raced for their weapons, fell on the white men and slew them all in the suspicious belief that they had been lured into a trap. Even this failure did not halt the expeditions. Now, deep in the dense green jungles the Chavantes are holding meetings to decide whether to consolidate the peace some of their braves have made with the white man.

She looked at him, shook her bead, smiled and said: "Brother!" She started to walk out, then turned back. "Thanks for the coffee and cigaret," she said. "And Mr. Calvin." "What?"
