A learned erman says he has
discovered the source of "cosmic

stantly passing through your body,
although yon don't know It driven
by the terrific energy of billions

that the bombardment, may occa

to flght-the grant
of such .unprece

the President , were
unavailing as 5 the
White; House
cracked ' the whip
over .revolting rep

vote on the meas
ure Was 328 to 78.
. The vote climaxed
a furious eight-hour
debate on themeas-
President
Roosevelt
ore.: Members attempted to attach
amendments ' which would protect
private Industry from1 government
projects which might, be launched
under the relief , plan. When this
failed they endeavored to allocate
the money for specific purposes.'
When the debate bad reached Its
height ' the President sent a mes
sage to the house declaring it would
bs impossible to segregate Items
for which the money would be ex
pended, but that the huge outlay of
suma would be devoted to publte
projects and that after the immedi
ate crisis: of unemployment had
passed it was his hope . that the.
country could set aside 500,000,000
a year for the "national plan.". .
The White, House- message was
the signal for 'the Democratic maV
Jority to push the message across
with little change from its original.
form. On the final vote 20 Repub
licans voted for ; the bill.' Seven
Progressives and three Farmer'
Laborttes also registered affirmative
votes. ; Ten Democrats, five , from
Georgia, three -from" Virginia, ' and
two from Indiana, voted with the
opposition. i f "
Because of the gag rule 'adopted
by the house, only amendments .of
fered by the appropriations commit

amendments as were decided upon

the President The 1800,000,000 will
be used at the President's discretion
fori relief purposes while the pro
gram Is being put Into effect -'
s Another amendment struck but a
subsection wbjcb gave the President
authority. to postpone the end of any
existing government agency. This
was a move .to satisfy certain Dem
ocrats who were opposed to Secre
tary Ickes, and hls.PWA.program
Which expires In 'June.- Another
clause granting authority to the.
President -to acquire personal prop

main was also removed as waiihe,
section granting the Chief Execu

Imprisonment on. any violator. The
only other - amendment .which, suc
ceeded In - passage was one -whjch
-provided that ' an . accounting ' be
made for all moneys spent-.
Minority Leaner: Snell attacked'
the bin declaring that ' the money;
involved amounted to one-eighth of.
the national Income,' and that the
house waa entitled to know what the
money was for.- Later In conced
