tionally famous geneticist and win
ner of the 1916 Nobel Prize in
Medicine, announced cancellation of

bership he specifically attached T.
D. Lysenko, whose theory that &C
quired characteristics can be trans
mitted from one plant or animal
generation to another has been Of
ficially adopted in the Soviet Union
as true to Marxist philosophy. DR..
Muller has called Lysenko's theory
superstition" contrary to all ac-
cepted genetic science.

Canada LegaIizes 0Ieo,
But Bans imports
By the Assoeiotsd prsss

OTTAWA, Dec. 14.-The sale and
manufacture of oleomargarine IN
Canada were legalized today by a
rule of the Dominion's Supreme
Court.
The court held that the Domin-
ions ban on imports of margarine
must continue.
The ruling, unless an appeal is
taken to the Privy Council in Lon
don, means that Canadians may
make, sell and consume margarine
and other butter substitutes imme-
diately.
The court was asked October
to rule on the validity of the 10th
century legislation which has kept
margarine from Canadian dinner
tables for 81 years.
The court found that while Par
Lament could prohibit the import oi
butter substitutes, it could not ban
the manufacture, sale and posses
sion of such substitutes.
The opponents of the law said
margarine is legitimate article OF
trade and thus its use Is within
civil rights as defined in the con-
stitution of Canada.
