Early last June Freud went to England "for peace," joined his son Architect Ernst. With him went another son, Lawyer Martin, and his gentle, brown-eyed daughter Anna, a practicing psychoanalyst. In a comfortable London house near Regent's Park, filled with his Greek and Egyptian treasures, Freud answers letters, continues his writing, even treats a few old patients. Every Sunday evening he settles down in the parlor, coddles his five young grandchildren, enjoys a lively card game called tarot with his sons. Always at his call is his nine-year-old chow dog, Lun.

Ancient Egyptian skulls resemble those in 17th-Century London plague pits, in New Stone Age box graves of Switzerland. Science has had much to puzzle over in these resemblances, and many others in the intricately shuffled complex of races, sub-races, types and varieties in Europe's white population...
This archeological find, made at San-el-Hagar on the Nile Delta, was announced early last week by Professor Pierre Montet of Strasbourg who is excavating the site of ancient Tanis.
