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.

May Postpone
Port Strikes
PARIS, Sunday, Nov. 21-(Jpy-The
French press agency said to

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.
