Prof. Tells About Early Ship
Archaeologists and scholars wonder if there may have been a body aboard the Sutton Hoo Treasure Ship which was recovered in 1939. The ship is believed to have been buried by seventh-century Anglo-Saxons.
Bertram Colgrave, visiting professor of English from the University of Durham, England, explained that Anglo-Saxons sometimes disposed of their dead by placing the bodies in ships and sinking the ships at sea.
Prof. Colgrave spoke Tuesday night at a student-faculty lecture sponsored by the English department and the Humanities Forum. He showed slides of the findings in the Sutton Hoo Ship.
He said:
"Treasures recovered from the Sutton Hoo Ship are valued at 512 million, but no bones or other evidence of bodies have been found."
Ship Was a Memorial
"Many scholars accept the theory that the burial of the Sutton Hoo Ship was a memorial to Aethelhere, Saxon king who died in 655 A.D. He was known to be associated with pagans. That would explain the valuable gifts buried in the ship.
"During the year Aethelheire died, the Anglo-Saxons fought a series of battles with the Swedes. During the wars, rain flooded the Winnae River in England. More men were supposed to have been drowned by the river than killed in battle. This could explain why no body was found in the Sutton Hoo Ship."
Shin in a 'Hoo'
The ship, when found, was buried in a "hoo," used by Anglo-Saxons to mean bluff standing against a wide plain, Prof. Colgrave said. He said:

"It proved there was an outstanding dynasty in East Anglia, or southeast England during the 600's A.D. That dynasty must have had the richness and magnificence of the most extravagant royal courts in history."
Most Valuable Discovery
Pastor Colgrae Formed the Sutton Ro Beo Shire finding "the most valuable archaeological discovery of recent times.
Most Valuable Discovery
Findings in the excavation include a bronze lamp stand six feet long like those described in "Beowulf." "Beowulf" is the oldest English epic known. It was probably composed in the early eighth century.
Quoting from "Beowulf," Prof.
Colgrave said:

U.S. Warns Cubans Against Exile State
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— The State Department has warned Cuban exiles against trying to set up any "government-in-exile" in the United States.
Air-Conditioned, Phones, TV Free Coffee, Free Swimming
He made the statement in commenting on published reports in New York that Cuban exiles in the United States planned to set up a government in exile in this country under former Cuban Ambassador to the U.N. Emilio Nunez Portuondo. Nunez Portuondo, who lives here, denied he plans to head such a group.
Department spokesman Lincoln White said that setting up such a government "without the consent of the United States" would violate the sovereignty of the United States.
The Rev, Gerard Goetz, Catholic students' chaplain, will speak to the students in the Western Civilization program tonight. The discussion will be at 7:30 p.m. in 9 Strong Hall.
White said the United States has given no consent for setting up such a government. In answer to a question, he said the government does not intend to give its consent.
Western Civ Students To Hear Rev. Goetz
A helmet similar to that described in "Beowulf" was also excavated from the Sutton Hoo Ship. Made mostly of iron, this helmet had a roll on the crown to cause blows to skid off to the side.
Students will have the opportunity to ask Father Goetz questions concerning Catholicism and the church's position in medieval times, Renaissance, Reformation and contemporary times.
Find Helmet in Ship
Greek and Christian influence was shown in two silver spoons found in the ship, Prof. Colgrave said:
"The Pope may have given these to royal Saxon kings when they were baptized. The 10-inch spoons have 'Paulos' and 'Saulos' on their handles"
Anglo-Saxons Traded
Anglo-Saxon Traded
The excavators also recovered nine 6-inch vessels with a cross on each. Prof. Colgrave said that Anglo-Saxon merchants had traded goods with traders at Paris fairs after the goods had been brought from the East.
"A recovered shield included a painting of a dragon-like creature gnashing his teeth. This creature has appeared on shields found in Sweden and always displays his teeth."
Prof. Colgrave said.
Other antiquities found in the Sutton Hoo Treasure include a 6-inch high harp, silver and gold bowls, pottery, coins and jewels. Prof. Colgrave said the images on the 40 coins indicate that the ship was buried after 650 but before 670 A.D.
Boston Papers Strike If Negotiations Fail
BOSTON —(UPI)— Gov. Foster
Furcolo met today with representatives of union and management in an effort to head off a strike that would shut down all but one Boston newspaper.
Representatives of the publishers and union leaders and state and federal negotiators planned to attend the morning meeting.
Tonight members of local 13 of the International Typographical Union will meet to submit a publishers' offer to arbitrate the dispute to a membership vote. If this is rejected, the strike is expected to begin immediately.
A walkout would affect the Boston Globe, morning, evening and Sunday; the Boston Herald-Traveler, morning, evening and Sunday; and the Hearst newspapers, the Morning Record, Evening American and Sunday Advertiser. Only the Christian Science Monitor would not be involved.

NAPLES, Fla. — (UPI) A 250-pound black bear jaywalked into the side of an automobile near here yesterday and then sauntered back into the Everglades.
The impact dented both doors on one side of the sedan and frightened the three women inside.
Mrs. E. Best, driver of the car, reported the mishap to authorities and a hunting party was organized. Officials said if the bear was injured it might attack a person without warning.
Churchill's Son Says Quiz Try Was 'Clean'
LONDON — (UPI) — Randolph Churchill, son of Sir Winston, said yesterday he came out of his bourt with an American quiz show morally—and financially—clean.
"They didn't treat me as handsomely as they did (Charles) Van Doren," he said in East Bergholt, England. "I won no money at all."
The younger Churchill, a newspaperman and author, appeared on the "$64,000 Question" and flubbed the second question for $128 when asked the origin of the word "boy-cott."
Churchill said, "No one even suggested giving me any answers. I thought they were all completely honest."
