TODAY’S HOROSCOPE Today’s native will possess liter ary and artistic abilities, but mingled with a jealous and combative disposi tion. Great efforts will probably be made to acquue wealth and position, often proving successful when sup ported by other aspects. Much oppo sition ma yoss.bly be met, partially due to the tendency to truculency. Johnson Is Not Likely To Enter (Continues ~ om T*age One.) quite recently said to friends that he is not interested. Reports from the third' congres sional district indicate that incumbent Graham Barden i s beginning to grow a bit nervous as the primary nears. His opponent, young Abernathy, has been traveling U.c district m a trailer conducting one oi very effective man to-man handshaking campaigns.

ONCE UPON MAY 26th Strange as it seems, one of the cartoonists who melodramatizes facts until they are barely recognizable, de clared the other day that “Darwin's lose nearly changed the entire face of human history!’’ In support of this statement he explained that Darwin almost lost the chance to sail on the Beagle as a naturalist because the skiper didn’t like the shape of Dar win's nose, and implied that if Dar win hadn’t made that voyage on the Eeagle the world wouldn’t have heard of evolutionary theory. That, of course, is absurd. Darwin didn’t discover the theory of evolu tion. James Burnett. Lord Monboddo Scotch jurist who died 139 years ago today, advocated the theory that apes and men had common ancestors in his monumental, “Os the Origin and Pro gress of Language,” published before Darwin was born. Hypotheses essentially the same as Darwin’s natural selection were ad vanced by W. C. Wells in 1813, by Patrick Matthew in 1831; indeed, Darwin’s own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, suggested it in 1794. La marck, Frenchman, likewise antici pated Origin of the Species to some extent. Simultaneously and independently another Englishman, Alfred Rusell Wallace, reached the same conclu sions as Darwin, and among contem poraries there was some question as to whether Wallace or Charles Dar win had been first. Darwin himself, when he saw an essay on natural se lection by Wallace, whom he did not know, exclaimed: “I never saw a more striking coincidence.

In The Sir Walter Raleigh, May 26.—Utility Commis sioner Stanley Winborne has cooperat ed fully and cordially in North Caro lina’s program of rural electrification which has resulted in building ap proximately 7,700 miles of line and extending electric service to approxi mately 42,000 customers since organi zation of the State Rural Electrifica tion Authority in 1935, Dudley Bag ley, State REA director said today. “This authority has received splen did and friendly cooperation from Commissioner Winborne at every stage,” said Mr. Bagley. “He has been enthusiastically in favor of every step in our program designed to extend rural electrification Hu North Car olina on a safe and sound basis.” It is the duty of the utility com missioner to pass on all applications presented to him for the construction of rural lines, whether built by power companies or Ifcy cooperatives. Mr. Bagley said that Commissioner Win borne has given his approval to every project upon which he passed final judgment. “He has approved every project this authority asked him to approve, and the only project ever considered by him and not approved was the Cald well county cooperative,” said the REA director. “Even in this case the commission er did not decline to approve the pro ject. The application of the coopera tive was withdrawn voluntarily by its sponsors before any final decision was reached,” he added. “With Commissioner Winborne’s as sistance and cooperation we have put North Carolina s n the very forefront of progress in rural electrification. Figures show that this state has made far greater strides than any other Southern state and has been surpass ed in total mileage added by only five states in the entire nation,” said Mr. Bagley. The REA director’s statement was made as the result of recent charges by Winborne’s primary opponent, Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, that the in cumbent has been unfriendly to rural electrification. Mr. Grady in his Ashe ville speech said the commissioner “declined” to approve the Caldwell project. House Is Advised of Speech At One of Camps In U. S.

Mor gan, former TVA chairman, tried to “defeat and obstruct the Authority” in litigation involving its constitution ality. Lilienthal took - the stand to deny charges made, against him yes terday by Morgan. Earlier H. A. Morgan, the other TVA director, told the ten-man in vestigating committee that Arthur Morgan conducted a “campaign of dissent and obstruction” to discredit the TVA program. > Presenting his testimony in a series of prepared statements, Lilienthal said the former chairman’s efforts to obstruct the Authority took place be fore a court in Chattanooga. He ad ded he would give details on that nhat ter and “the conduct of Arthur Mdr gan in regard to the so-called Berry marble claims.” • - Rebel Plane Base Bombed By Mexicans (Continued from Tage One.) guarding the field. From Tampico came word that a swift plane swooped low over that port and let fall a shower of leaflets propagandizing the cause of Genera! S. Cedillo, the rebel chieftain. Other developments included the re port of two pitched engagements be tween detachments of Federal anc! Cedillista bands, one of them lasting eight hours, and the decision by Pre sident Cardenas to send school teach ers in the wake of his soldiers into the small villages and towns to ex plain his program to the peasants. De -1 tails of the reported raids l:y Cedil | lista aviatoi’s were not divulged by General Avila. He said, however, that t Cedillo had foreign aviators in hi? employ, among them United State? fliers. The government communique quot ed him as saying Cedillo had only three planes in his service, two o: them designed for commercial use and the other a military plane. * Drys Don’t Look For Referendum «Con*lnuert from Page OneA tion of liinuor advertising, and per haps an extension of the State ABC Board’s police powers into dry coun ties.
