M AY LOSE
OWN STATE
Musgrove Candidate Against
Senator From Alabama
in Primary,
BY LOWELL MELLETT

Xvii ASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The
NV most exciting bit of political
L news that has reached the cap
ital In some weeks comes from Ala
bama. The effect Of it is that Oscar
Underwood is in serious danger OF not
receiving his own States vote in the
coming convention.
1t happens this way: The Alabama
Legislature enacted a law practically
barring all but native sons from The
Alabama primaries. The Alabaman
receiving the majority of votes in the
primary is given the right to name
the delegates to the national conven-
tion. The act was aimed primarily at
McA6oo and Ford, and 1t seemed 20
have sewed up the State for Under
wood. But the Legislature had for,
gotten man named Musgrove,
Was Narrow Squeak
Two years ago L. B. Musgrove con-
tested in the Democratic primaries
with Underwood for the Senatorship
Another Democrat did likewise. The
result was a plurality of only 500 for
Underwood, the narrOwest squeak of
his life. His majority over Musgrove
alone was only II 900 II the oppo-
sltion to Underwood had not been di-
vided. many Alabamans think, Mus
grove would be sitting in the Senate.
Now Musgrove. quite within Ala
bama's new law, has filed against I'm
derwood in the presidential primary.
The interests friendly to Underwood
have shrieked to the heavens, but
Musgrove has continued theoretically
perfecting his organization.
The prestige given him by his ex-
cellent showing two years ago has
drawn many practical politicians into
his camp, but It is not upon them that
he relies chiefly.

Has petroleum an organic or IN
organic origin?
Petroleum is considered by most
biologists to be Of organic origin, as
shown by its persistent occurrence in
sedimentary rocks, but whether 1t has
been derived from animals or plants,
and If the latter, whether marine or
land forms, is open to debate More
over, the exact details Of the process
by which organic matter has been
converted into oil and gas are some
what obscure. As opposed to the or
ganic theory, is the inorganic theory
which assumes that the oil and gas
may be hydrocarbons, formed at great
depths by the action of steam on me-
talltc carbides, a process that c4tn be
demonstrated experimentally, but
which is not borne out by field evi
dence.
