Tibet Explorer Talks Today at Troy Luncheon
Harrison Forman Will Tell Travels to Graduate, Faculty Group
‘Forbidden Land’ Entered
Author ls Only White Man Ever To See Secret Buddhist Rites
Describing strange adventures encountered during a year’s travel in Tibet, “forbidden land of magic and mystery,” Harrison Forman, author and explorer, will address faculty and graduates at luncheon today in Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall.
While penetrating the unexplored plateau of Tibet, among uncivilized natives. Forman was able to enter into religious rites of the Buddhists as no other white man ever had. Vultures Eat Bodies Funerals where the human bodies are thrown to giant vultures to be devoured—women who carry entire fortunes braided into their hair— temples with roofs of solid gold— horse racing above the clouds— these are some of the strange experiences to be recounted by Forman today.
During his sojourn in this “holy home of Buddhism,’’ Forman made the acquaintance nf the 17-year-old Grand Living Buddha of Lhabrang Gomba, who is regarded as the incarnation of thc God of Learning, and is temporal and spiritual lord over a large district of Tibet. Forman is thc first white man ever to be photographed with a living Buddha.
Sees King of Hell
He relates thal he won the Buddhists' friendship by presenting them with a five cell chromium plated flashlight and a watch with a luminous dial The greatest experience he had among the Tibetans Forman considers his meeting with Yama, thc King of Hell, whom he saw for the first time in a sacred forest where he was led at dusk by necromancers.
Forman has made a moving picture showing his spectacular adventures.

ment that no attempt would be made to dislodge them by j force.
When quitiing-time arrived, the strikers simply were notified that they would be listed on company records as trespassers, but that no ’’punitive measures” would be attempted to evict them Plant officials said families or friends were free to bring them food or other necessities to make them comfortable.
At the same time. It was disclosed that the corporation had spurned a first offer of the National Labor Relations board to mediate thc dispute.
Dr. Towne Nylander, regional director of the NLRB, said his offer to serve as mediator had been turned down by Maj. Carl Cover, vice president of the company.
Company officials Insisted they had received no demands.
Nylander said the sit-down was precipitated by the dismissal of two Douglas workers, allegedly for union activities. The matter was referred to the board several days ago.
The sit-down, comprising only a comparatively small portion of the 6.000 workers who were “laid off” at noon when thc plant was ordered shut down, were lolling about on benches, or waving at union pickets stationed on the outside of thc buildings.

mature men gathered about me in tlie main "recreation'1 room at Douglas Aircraft company last night.
They were skilled workers who. dissattslied with working conditions at the world's largest airplane plant, are taking part in the first major sit-down strike ln the West.
‘High School Boy’
’’I’ve been with Douglas for 13 years,” volunteered a particularly white-haired, white-bearded 6triker.
If I'm a high school boy. it sure took me a long time to get out of school!”
Indignation was provoked by unsympathetic reception of tlie strike in certain quarters which have passed it off as thc youthful prank of only a few beginners.
• We are striking for tour things,'' leaders told me. "and if we don't get them w'e’U stay here 'til hell freezes over.”
What They Want The four demands were summarized as follows: first (and foremost) recognition of union labor; second. 15-cent per hour wage increase;
Beethoven’s Concerto in E flat, and Tschaikowsky's Sixtn or "Pathetique” Symphony will be played on a new high fidelity record and radio reproducing machine this afternoon during the Listening Hour program.

Two similar machines constructed by Hansen are used by Conductor Otto Klemperer of the I-ok Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and by Composer Arnold Schoenberg.

Squads of Italian troops roved through the city "cleaning up suspicious quarters.” About 200 were shot down.
An additional 100 natives were mowed down at the time of the bombing, when officers and soldiers fired point blank into crowds packed around the public square.
