INSURGENTS IN
 HOUSE LOST THE
 RELIEF BATTLE
President to Have Full Control Ol-Seifate To-day
 May Pass It
By EDWARD w. LEWIS United Press Stan COrrcspOndent)


 Washington, Jan 25-(UP)- President Roosevelt appeared as- sured today of early congressional approval of the $4.S00,000,oo0 bill making him relief "czar." The house sent the measure to the sen- ate, where leaders foresee' little trouble in tanning 1t through.
 The overwhelming house vote of confidence in delegating the vast relief powers to the president, strengthened the chief executives control over the usually unruly chamber, and may presage the end of any further democratic insur- gent drtves-except on the bonus.
 Before passing the bill last night, BPS to 78, administration forces beat down every amendment but one minor one which lacked White House backing. Rep Alfred Bull winkle, democrat, North Carolina, the "Wirt red-baiter" of last sea- son, put through an amendment forcing the president to give con- gress annually 8 detailed account ing of his relief expenditures. By a vote og 159 to 131 the house defeated the strong coalition of republicans and democrats who fought for 8 provision forcing pay ment of prevailing wages under re- lief construction contracts. It Is planned to pay an average $50 g month wage to the 3,500,000 men the bill will help.
 Senate leaders plan to bring the bill up probably next week, as it carries authorization for use of $880, 100000 in unexpended bal ances-a fund which present relief agencies need by February 1.
 Republican leaders. aided by a scattered few democrats, mar shaled their forces for an attack on the starvation wage" provi- sions of the bill in the senate, but administration leaders were confl- dent of passage without serious impairment.
 On passage of the bill in the house after heated debate, 26 re- publicans, six progressives and two farmer-laborites voted "aye." Ten democrats: half of them from Georgia, voted against the bill.
 Taking. up the fight where Rep Bertrand Shell, house. minority leader, left off, Senator Jamcs Couzens, republican, Michigan, said:
 "The man who wrote the works bill ought to be hanged-not In effigy but physically"
 With the work relief bill out of the way the house turned to debate on the administration bill to authorize issuance of approxi- mately $12,000,000,000 in new "baby bonds" by the treasury.
 The bill would provide the ad- ministration with means of rais- ing the ,000 necessary to The treasury already has an- carry out the work relief program. nounced plans for issuing the bonds in denominations of $25 to $1O,OOO, discounted to draw interest of 2 to 3 per cent.

OCEAN SERPENT MERELY SHARK
Hair of Body Found Last November in Pacific
 ClasSifies Fish

Washington (CP)-"Hair" of a ''sea serpent" discovered on the beach of a small island off the Pa. cific coast in November. has been Identified here as the gill raker os basking shark.
 Dr Earl s. Myers. curator or fishes at the National Museum. IS convinced that the creature was hasking shark although naturalists failed to identify 1t with any known genus of sea animal.
 The "hair" consisted of strands of fine material about a foot long, 1t serves as a fine sieve for the minute plankton upon which the shark feeds No other fish boasts such an arrangement.
 The sharks body apparently had been stranded on the beach sev- eral days. It had lost its fish-like appearance and had assumed a ser pent-like shape.
 California fisherman, Dr Myers said, bring in two or three speci- mems of the fish each year and sell them to fertilizer companies.
 The hair was forwarded to the State Department by the Ameri- can consul at Prince Rupert. Brit ish Columbia.
 National Museum officials point. ed/ out that this was the first op- portunity they had had to correct- ly identify ap alleged sea serpent. They believe that if most of the current sea monsters were subject ed to scientific exa minations. they would turn out to be fairly famil- lar animals.

at 9922 cents in United States cur

That your company in 1884 ap-
preached Its record Of 1929 (S22.235,-
996) is due n large measure &c two
basic factors: one being its success
in developing new uses for nickel,
and the other. the effciencies real
lied in mines and plants as result
of the large expenditures made in re-
cent years for mine developments and
plant Improvements it was stated in
the annual report by Robert c. STAN
ley, president.
On the world copper market, STAN
ley said. repeated attempts to ra-
tionalize this industry have failed,
due to a variety of reasons such as
divergent interests. by-product cop
per, prohibitive tariffs and other
causes.
1T would seem that curtailment
agreement among all producers would
be a practical procedure that should
prove advantageous to all concerned.
