BRAZIL: The Grandson
A popular sensation during the booming 1920s was Colonel Percy Fawcett, English explorer who, with his son Jack, tried to find "the Lost Atlantis" in the Brazilian wilderness. They disappeared. Recently Brazilian reporter Edmar Morel returned to civilization with a ghost-pale savage named Dulipé, who he claimed was Jack Fawcett's son by a Kurikuro Indian woman. Last week a picture of Morel and Dulipé (see cut) reached the U.S. As photographed, Dulipé has all the characteristics of an albino, a not uncommon freak among South American Indians.
