The lat est is a rtO - ft?ct-long animal cast ashore near Vancouver Sound, which the amateur scientists of that region were convinced couldn't belong to any knowji species. But when a real zoologist got a look at it he immed iate}}' recognized it as a basking aharlf . Not all of the strange apj>ear a.'ices are so easily explained, how ever. The mystery of the Loch NVss monster in Scotland has not yet been .solved, for one thing. 1 am open-minded on the subject of seaserpenfs but have heard so many stories aliout them, from boy hood, told by seafaring men, that 1 auj prepared to believe that there are unknown monsters still in the depths of the ocean, even if 1 hey don't come up and pose for the photographers. ECONOMY . . . today ? I received a letter the other day from a young man to whom I J had given some advice about how to go about getting a new-paper job in Washington. ) > "My wife and I are getting along fine on a month," he wrote. "We have a nice apartment right down town and respectable enough, and plenty to eat and something let t over for h is rides and the moyies. Those young folk have the right idea. I know a lot of young news paper men? and other*? who think tlu'V nro gctli.ni> badly used if they don't get $:;<> or $40 a week to start villi.

The big clash in the inside of the Ad ministration right now is between Harold Ickes and Jim Moffett. Ickes. besides being Secretary of the Inter ior and administrator of the oil code, is, as everybody knows, head of the Public Works Administration. Jim Moffett is the former Standard Oil vice-president who is head of the FcderaJ Housing Administration. And the class is over fundamental policies of promoting new home building. Moffett 's job is to try to get pri vate capital into this field. He has made better progress thus far than anyone expected him to. But just as lie got things going along where lend ing institutions were about prepared to put out several billions at 5 per cent to finance new home building. I cken came out with a broadcast de claration that he thought the Govern ment ought to do this financing at per cent. That threw a scare into the lend ing institutions. Wouldn't they look foolish offering money at 5 percent when the Government was offering it on better terms ? Ickes even sug gested "no down payment" ? and at 3 per cent. So Jim Moffett and the folks who ha v.? money they want to put to work want to know which of the two policies is to be adopted. Secretary Ickes is very close to the Presidential ear. He also has built up a strong following among members of Con Riess, most of whom will follow any body who will spend public money in their districts. Jim Moffett is not any kind of a politician at all. He suffers under the illusion that so many business men have when they come to Washing ton, that all they have to do it to go their job. Tha.', as everybody who has been around the national capital ycry long, fully understands, isn't the half of it. Getting around among the boys, making himself a good fel low with the insiders, talking to the public in a personal way and making glittering, though vague promises, i.* an important part of the technique of making good aj the head of any Federal bureau. The President himself will have to make the final decision between Jim Moffett 's plans and those of Harold Ickfcs. Mr. Roosevelt lias been much interested in the project of getting building ? trade workers back on the job without using public funds to do it. But a strong group of his advis ers, including Ickes, Harry Hopkins, the Relief Administrator, and some others, protest that the Moffett pro gram won't do the trick fast enough Looking forward to a larger demand for direct relief this Winter than ever before and realizing, that- the longer men stay off the payrolls of industry the lower their morale sinks and the less likely they are to ever want to go back to work at all, Harry Hopkins is for anything that will provide plenty of real work at real wages and provide it quick. John Fahcy, head of Home Own ersLoan Corjioration, is wisely keep ing out of the controversy. His ap propriation of two billions is ex hausted, all having been lent to needy home owners, and he is not likely to ask Congress for any more ittitil it is decided whether the FHA plan or the PWA plan is the program finally adopted. Congress, it is "believed here, will be strongly inclined to give Mr Ickes the five or more billions he wants, with which to enable any body who would like to own a home to build a brand-new one with no down payment whatever and twenty years or so in which to pay off the instalments. If that plan carries through the Government can hope and expect to get most of the money back. It will i be lent, not given away. And being in creditor on a big scale will be no novelty for Uncle Sam. Already the Government loans amount to about ten thousand million dollars, put out through farm Organizations, cooper atives and otherwise; loans to In dians to finance industry and agri culture; loans to banks, railroads and industry through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation; farm mortg^v loans, loans to Idw-cost city housing projects, loans through the Tennessee Valley Authority to finance munici pal lighting plants and cooperative (CWamud on Page 3)
