CHALLENGE GVEN 10 EVOLLTIONTS Major Animal Groups Be- lieved to Have Appeared at Same Time. A challenge to generally accepted the- ories of evolution was issued last night over the network of the National Broad- casting Co. by Austin H. Clark, Na- tional Museum curator. Himself maintaining a development theory of the progress of life on earth, Clark insisted that “from all the actual evidence we have been able to discover we are forced to the conclusion that all the major groups of animals ap- peared at the same time and at the very first held just about the same relation to 2ach other that they do today. “We may assume without the possibil- ity of successful contradiction that all the major groups of animals followed different developmental paths from the primitive single cell. There is no evi- dence that would lead us to suppose that any one of the major groups was derived through any of the others. “The various types of animals in- cluded in each single one of the larger major groups—for instance, in the ver- tebrates, or backboned animals; the mollusks or the arthropods—have varied very greatly in successive geo- logic ages. “While all the food substances neces- sary for the support of animal life have ‘been available from the first, the con- ditions under which these food sub- stnces were available have varied very widely from one epoch to another. These representatives of the major groups were quite different looking creatures from the types we know at the present time.

By the Associated Press. TEPIC, Nayarit, Mexico, April 11.— C. Fields, guide, of Mexican-French extraction, is accused by J. E. Bristow, San Angelo oil man, of having deliv- ered him over to bandits, who, after holding him captive for a month, re- leased him Wednesday upon payment of 3,000 pesos (about $1,500) ransom. In a report to the Mexican military authorities Bristow affirmed that Fields, accompanying him in quest of copper and zinc deposits into the wilds of Nayarit, plotted with the bandit gang headed by Cruz Delgado for his capture, and then tried to collect the ransom for himself. All Fields had to say was that Mr. Bristow was “un buen hombre” (a good man), that he had hoped he would be freed without harm, but that he had washed his hands of the enure affair. Fields has lived in Mexico for 38 years; police and military authori- ties know him well. Bristow said that when he told Fields on March 9 he was ready to leave the guide insisted on remaining another day. He consented to remain another day, and just at dark, while his party was sitting around the camp- fire, six_bandits with rifles surrounded them. Bristow dashed for a smad hut where the party's rifles were kept, but found them missing. The bandits disregarded others in the party, but came straight for nim. signifying that he should put up 16 oz.
