I.N.S. Correspondent Merrill ("Red") Muller declared with heat that the picture censorship "stinks." Collectively the correspondents tore their hair over the futilities of the M.O.I...
...Hermann Joseph Muller, at the University of Texas, using Drosophila (fruit flies), proved that X-rays also have profound genetic effects. Piercing the nucleus of a living cell, they can destroy or rearrange the genes which determine the inherited characteristics of all new life. But, observes Dr. Failla, "All living organisms are subjected to ionizing radiations throughout their life." Chief sources are 1) potassium, a mildly radioactive element found in all cells, 2) cosmic rays, which constantly penetrate each human being...
These natural ionizing rays, Muller theorized, may well cause the small percentage of "spontaneous" mutations (marked inheritable deviations from the ancestral norm) in all forms of life. The success of some mutations in the struggle for existence largely accounts for evolution, which has proceeded through the ages from protozoa to lizard to man seemingly in spurts rather than at a steady pace. The spurts and lags may correspond to varying intensity of cosmic ray showers...
...vigorous was Confessional and Lutheran Council opposition to Reichsbishop Muller that Hitler soon shelved him, presently gave his powers to Minister of Church Affairs Hanns Kerrl. Minister Kerrl's creed: "The primacy of the State over the Church must be recognized. . . . The question of the divinity of Christ is ridiculous and unessential.
