Gradual Evolution of Species Theories TVlay Be Disproved By Studies of Cell Substance By Ronnie Taylor Associated Press Science Editor BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 2(MT)-A cell substance never before sus pected of playing a part, in evolution mav be responsible for the sudden origin of new species. Dr. Richard Goldschmidt, distinguished Zoologist,' reported, last week. This . cell material also may I piay a aominani ruie in aciernuu- -w- ing the sex of individuals. Dr. I I font Cf I llP lfl Goldschmidt told the . National Academy of Sciences. He said it can cause a leg to grow on a fruit fly in the place where a wing should be. It can make the left side of an insect female and the right side male. It can cause a 'female to develop a deformity which usually occurs only in males. Three Tear's Kesearch Thus far its effects have been observed only on Insects and worms. But it exists in the cells of all livings things. Whether it will cause similar or even more spectacular changes In higher animals remains to be determined. The weird effects on flies and worms were obtained daring three years of research by Dr. Goldschmidt and his col leagues at the University of Call f ornia. This tricky stuff is called Hete rochromatin. It is one of the two principal materials of which chro mosomes, the hereditary agents of all living cells, are made. The oth er principal matter is Euchroma- tin. The Euchromatin is the material containing the genes, which most scientists believe are potent little specks of matter in Chromosomes which transmit hereditary char acteristics from cell to cell during their growth and division. Contradicts Theories Heterochromatin, which was first identified 20 years ago by a German researcher, supposedly played no part In genetic activi ty, Dr. Goldschmidt said. His re- Sirt to the academy contradicts at assumption. The conventional adea of gene tie evolution is that the genes cause tiny changes in cells over a long period of time. These changes become progressively greater and snore widespread until they cause a niticeable change in an arm, wing, leg or some other part of the body, or even a radical al teration of the whole individual, to that he becomes far different from his ancestors and qualifies as a new species. Dr. Goldschmidt believes the great evolutionary changes that produce new species occur sud denly, no slowly over a long per iod of time. His Idea is that Hete rochrony tin may eventually prove ifi be the agent capable of causing these large, sudden changes.

New Greek Cabinet Asks For Support ATHENS, Nov. 20-JFyGrtc'i new coalition cabinet asked par liament tonight to give it a vote of confidence and then suspended meetings while the government launches a new program against communist guerrillas. Parliament was asked to sus pend its sessions until February 1, during which time the cabinet would assume legislative functions and be safe from overthrow. Premier Themistokles Sophoulis, leader of the Liberal party, open ed the debate by outlinging plans for a relentless economic and mili tary drive to wipe out the guerril las. As he spoke, supporters of the Liberal - Populist Coalition were trying desperately to . line up enough members of parliament to win the vote of confidence. Sophocles Venizelos, deputy leader of the Liberal party, was working to topple the government Venizelos forced the resignation of the previous Liberal-Populist cabi net a week ago, charging it had failed to crash the guerrillas, but Sophoulis agreed to try again with a similar coalition.
