Ingstad says there are

‘-mariy reasons why the Green- landers would have headed for North -America _ rather than Iceland or Europe. :

Baffin Island, which he says the Vikings knew as Hellu- land, is separated from Greenland by only 200 miles in the narrowest part of Davis Strait. From there it was simple. to’ coast southward past Labrador, or Markland, te Vinland, which Ingstad lo cates at L’Anse-aux-Meadows

Greenlanders were not wiped out by sudden disease or Eskimos.

Whether any of the - Ves- terbydg folk reached North. America is unknown, says Ingstad. “But from the ac-- count of thé~Vinland voyages We remember that it was a perilous thing for a small community to land on Indian shores.”*

Ingstad could have exam- ined a haunting possibility. al this point but did not. English fishing captains reaching Newfoundland soon* after its rediscovery by Europeans in the late 15th century reported sighting blue-eyed, fair-haired men among the predomi- nantly dark Beothuk Indians.

The Viking voyages to New- foundland at the start of the Greenland colony by Leif, Bjarni Herjolfsson, Thorfinn Karlsefni and others are dealt with, but Ingstad promises another book in which he plans to detail his 1961 ex- cavations at L’Anse - aux - Meadows and set forth his

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether to continue government subsidies under farm stabiliza- tion programs is expected to be a major topic of debate by or- ganized U.S. Agriculture this fall and ‘winter. ;

These subsidies to farmers are expected to reach a record of $3,500,000,000 this year.
