OM) ORCHARD, Me., Oct. 22 U.P.—The second attempt of the Srequlplane Pawn to fly across the Atlantic ended abruptly at 6.33 a. m., today when the twin-motored plane carrying Mrs. Frances Gray- son and two companions- landed in the water about 100 yards off the beach here.

On the first attempt at a take-eff it ran about two miles down the beach and was unable to rise. Then when the take-off wa« finally made at 6.16 a. m., it hkim- ined along a/bout 25 or 50 feet above the water and finally circled towards Castro Hay.

Muller. announced by the University of Texas. The announcement was made coincident with' T >. Mailer's outline before the Fifth International Genetic conferen«.< in Berlin. It is considered likely to fan into fresh flame the warfare between evolu* tionists and fundamentalists. No longer will the scientists have (o go ^k through misty ages to present evidence that evolution is not a ' u-ory but a demonstrated fact. Dr. Muller, by use of X-rays, has found out how to. speed up evolution. The discovery is of as much importance commercially as it i s signi- ficant to science. For instance, it is estimated that the rate at which breeds of animals and plants can be improved is increased a hundred times. Developments that have taken a .. utury to accomplish by careful selection and breeding, will be but the work of a single year. The gain will be permanent for the transmitted heredity will not die out as ordinarily. \The significance of the discovery is beyond conjecture,\ admitted Dr. John T. Patterson, professor of zoology at the University of Texas, - who has followed Dr. Muller's work with interest. Discovery came from experiments with tiny fruit flies The discovery may be deb« ribed simply as the agitation of the #en9$ by X-rays. The genes are the part of an orgt«\'*«fn that is responeU. , ble for heredity. When the fruit fly is put u ier X-ray the rfcy* affect theae little particle;; just like a shotgun fired Into a pile of Peebles woirtd affect the pee hies.
