Traces of prehistoric man found on Santa Rosa Island
Archaeologists on Santa Rosa Island off California report charred bones dated to about 28,650 years ago, with National Geographic sources suggesting even earlier signs dating to 37,007 years. Phil Orr of the Santa Barbara natural history museum directs the dig, which will resume this week for further study. The find deepens questions about migrations from Asia 15,000 to 20,000 years ago.

Washington reports the aircraft industry expects a major boost in guided missile production in 1958 while predicting employment will fall below 300,000 as plants close. Gen. Orval Cook of the Aircraft Industries Assn says missile deliveries may exceed 25 percent of military sales and unfilled orders about 45 percent of backlog, with 13 projects under development across air-to-air, air-to-surface, and surface-to-surface categories.
