Oldest human fossils in Africa
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The oldest
known fossil remains of man’s an
cient ancestors have been disco
vered in a dry river bed in East Af
rica, scientists announced Thurs
day.
The fossilized teeth and jaw
hones of 11 individuals have been
accurately dated by radioactive
isotope techniques at between 3.35
million and 3.75 million years old,
they said.
“These are good firm dates. They
are now the earliest, firmly dated
horn in id remains anywhere in the
world, archeologist Mary Leakey
told a news conference Thursday.
Hominid is a general term for man’s
ancestors.
Senate approves loan
for New York City
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate
Banking Committee approved on
Thursday a $4 billion loan guarantee
bill for New York City, but the Ford
administration reaffirmed its oppos
ition to providing federal aid for the
financially stricken city.
The bill faces a threatened filibus
ter on the Senate floor and a proba
ble presidential veto if it survives
House and Senate opposition.
Treasury Secretary William E.
Simon, appearing before a House
economic stabilization subcommit
tee, said New York City had not
exhausted all possible sources of
cash to stave oft bankruptcy.
Simon suggested emergency
funds could be obtained by raising
the state sales tax from 8 to 11 per
cent or borrowing money against
municipal pension funds, proposals
under consideration by Albany
leaders.
In Los Angeles, Ford told repor
ters that the New York crisis should
be a warning to all municipalities to
manage their affairs properly.
The loan guarantee was approved
in the Senate committee by an 8 to 5
to vote. Sen. Robert Morgan,
D-N.C., was the lone Democrat to
vote against it and Sen. Bob
Packwood, R-Ore., the only Repub
lican to vote for it.
Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., re
minded the committee of Ford’s
statement Wednesday that he
would veto any “bail-out or loan
guarantee to prevent New York City
from defaulting on its obligations.
“The fact is,’ Tower said, “there
ain’t gonna be no loan guarantee
legislation. You can talk about the
horrors and gloom of default all day
but the fact is the city’s going to
default.
Mrs. Leakey, along with her late
husband Louis, has been a pioneer
in the search for early man’s origins
in East Africa. The Leakeys, who
began their search as a young mar
ried couple 40 years ago, had con
centrated in the Olduvai Gorge reg
ion of Tanzania.
The latest find, first made last
Dec. 26 and 27, was in a dry river
bed in an area called Laetolil, which
is 25 “bone-jarring miles” from
Olduvai, she said.
An expedition, sponsored by the
National Geographic Society and
headed by Mrs. Leakey, returned
to Laetolil last summer for more fos
sil collection and geological studies.
Samples of the geological bed in
which the fossilized teeth and jaws
were found were sent to the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley for
radioactive dating.
Results of the dating were com
pleted in recent weeks.
Mrs. Leakey said the fossils ap
pear to represent the genus Homo,
or true man, rather than the genus
Australopithecus, a smaller apelike
creature related to man.
Experts now believe Au
stralopithecus died off, perhaps one

Security measures tight
for Sadat’s visit Friday

Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston —
The tightest security measures ever
ordered at the Johnson Space
Center go into effect today for the
visit of Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat, officials announced Thurs
day.
A spokesman at the center said
that for the first time ever the home
of America’s astronauts will be
closed to all visitors during normal
working hours.
“At the request of the U. S. Secret
Service, the Johnson Space Center
will be closed all day Friday because
of the visit of . . . Sadat and U.S.
Vice President Nelson Rockefel
ler," announced public information
officer John MacLeaish.
The center, which attracts up to a
million visitors and tourists annual
ly, was never closed during past
tours by U.S. Presidents Lyndon B.
Johnson and Richard M. Nixon and
by numerous other heads of state,
including such contrpversial figures
as Marshall Tito, the communist
premier of Yugoslavia.
Asked if he were told by the Sec
ret Service why the center was or
dered closed, MacLeaish said, “I
can only assume it was for reasons of
security, since that is their Secret
Service charter."
He said there were never any in
cidents during the visits of two pres
idents and a number of heads of
state.
The Johnson Space Center, lo
cated about 30 miles south of Hous
ton, is surrounded by a high,
barbed-wire-topped fence and is
patrolled by uniformed guards.
Secret Service men prowled the
grounds of the space center Thurs
day, preparing for the visit of Sadat
and Rockefeller.
The security check included such
chores as checking the inside of a
lunar module on display to make
sure no one was hiding there.
Sadat and Rockefeller, accom
panied by an official party of about
50, are scheduled to fly into El
lington Air Force Base, near the
space center, about 3:55 p.m. EST.
They will go by motorcade to the
nearby Space Center where they
will be greeted by George Low, as
sociate administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion and by Christopher C. Kraft,
director of the Johnson Space
Center.

million years ago. He probably
coexisted with Homo for perhaps 2
million years before disappearing
for some unknown reason.
Why one genus might have
perished and the similar Homo
genus survived to spawn modern
man is unknown.
Mrs. Leakey said she and her
husband first visited Laetolil in 1935
and then again in 1959 without find
ing any fossilized remains of man.
Then in 1959 they discovered
hominid remains at Olduvai Gorge
and obtained National Geographic
sponsorship the following year.
They made more discoveries at
Olduvai in succeeding years and
their fame spread.
Louis Leakey died in 1972, but
his wife and a son, Richard, have
carried on the search.
