Evolution Theory To Be Explained At4 p.m. Tuesday
A new theory that makes a contribution to evolutionary thought will be explained by Dr. Alan A. Boyden at an open lecture at 4 p.m. Tuesday in 101 Snow hall. As a professor of zoology, Dr. Boyden is director of the Serological museum at Rutgers university, New Brunswick, N.J.
According to a former student of Dr. Boyden, Dr. Charles Leone, now assistant professor of zoology at the University, "Most of the present evolutionary thinking is based on the single origin or monophyletic theory, that all life evolved from a single speck of living matter.
"Dr. Boyden is the principal proponent of the polyphytic or multiple origin theory, in which not one, but any number of life-producing particles lie at the bottom rung of the evolutionary ladder."
"All major groups of animals can be traced to the oldest fossil records, but nothing is known as to how these mechanisms evolved. Dr. Boyden has some ideas on this," Dr. Leone explained.
He said, "Dr. Boyden's concepts are more logical and scientific than the 'rare accident' theory of the beginning of life on this planet.
"Persons who believe organic evolution unacceptable on religious grounds, find Dr. Boyden's theory more compatible to their beliefs. The multiple origin theory allows for the special creation of the line from which man descended. In fact it is now a scientific likelihood."

Key West, Fla.—(U.P.)—President Truman and defense mobilizer Charles E. Wilson sought today to devise a plan for avoiding a steel strike without causing another costly spurt of inflation.
Wilson submitted a series of recommendations to the President, thus putting not only the threatened steel strike, but the economic consequences involved in a settlement squarely up to Mr. Truman. The mobilization director would not discuss his plans with reporters until he finished his talks with Mr. Truman.
According to authoritative information Wilson was exploring with the president the possibility of allowing the steel industry a series of flexible, staggered price increases. This, coupled with recommended wage increases for the steel workers, was the heart of a plan to avert the strike now set for April 8.
Truman, Wilson Discuss Strike
Wilson and the President, meeting in the winter White House, studied a series of plans and alternatives which Wilson brought with him on a flying trip from Washington Sunday. The mobilization director will fly back to the capital today.
