Farm Bloc Still
Might Block Cheaper Beef
First Rollback
In Force Tomorrow
By VINCENT J. BURKE United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 10—0pposition from the congressional farm bloc cast some doubt today on housewives’ chances nf getting cheaper beef as the government has promised. ‘Farm Congressmen .of _both
, parties said 4 Bivately they are
“hopeful ch Ag up enough votes’ to scuttle the Aug: 1 and *Oct. 1 rollbacks of cattle prices. But ‘tifey weren't ready vet to
— predict the outcome. The {wo roll
backs are aimed at slashing retail beef prices 9 to 10 cents a pound by Oct. 1. Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle is not promising consumers any price break from the first rollback of cattle prices at the packinghouse level whick goes into force tomorrow. It is aimed at relieving meat packers and other middle men from a ‘price squeeze.” : Consumers will have to wait for the later rollbacks—and they may not come at all. Congress has a veto power over them, and all wage-price~ control authority expires June 30. Farm Congressmen -opposed to the price rollbacks said they will insist that any extension of the defense production aet contain a provision which would have the effect of outlawing the later rollbacks. Rep. W. R. Poageé (D. Tex.), a key member of the House Agriculture Committee which is con-| ducting hearings on- the ‘beef order, told a reporter: . “I can't see how any honest man when he understands the; facts can fail to give farmers the same assurance of a fair return| as the law now guarantees the | packers and processors.” Agriculture Secretary Charles| ¥. Brannan said at yesterday's| hearing that packers claim they | were in a price squeeze even be- | fore price controls were ordered in January.

Not a day passed but we were visited byinquisitive guests which wriggled and waggled about us, and a few of them, such as dolphins and. pilot fish, grew so familiar
that they accompanied the raft across the sea and kept round: us. day and night.
Wien night had fallen “Arig
the stars were twinkling in the dark tropical sky, a phosphorescence flashed around’ us in rivalry with the stars, and
single glowing plankton resem- |
bled round live coals so vividly
that we involuntarily drew in |
our hare legs when the glowing pellets were washed up round our feet at the raft's stern.
When we caught them, we saw |
that they were little brightly shining species of shrimp. On such nights we were some-
times scared when two round | shining eyes suddenly rose |
out of the sea right alongside | | surface to lure them up, so | | that we might see what kind of

which came up only at night and lay ‘stating, fascinated by
them. n » ” WE gradually grew accustomed to having these subterranean or submarine creatures under the floor, but nevertheless we were just as surprised every time a new species appeared. . About 2 o'clock on a cloudy night, when the man at the helm had difficulty in distinguishing black water from black sky, he caught sight of a faint illumination down in the
shape of a large animal. It was impossible to say whether it was plankton shining on {ts body, or whether the animal itself had a phosphorescent surface, but the glimmer down in the black water gave the ghostly creature obscure, wavering outlines. Sometimes it was roundish, sometimes oval, or triangular, and suddenly it split into two parts which swam to and fro under the raft inde-
ly there were three of these large shining phantoms wandering round in slow eircles under us.

Mysterious and noiseless, our |
shining companions kept a good ‘way beneath the surface, mostly on the starboard side where
the light was, but often they |
were right under the raft or appeared on the port side.

The glimmer of light on their | backs revealed that the beasts | were bigger than elephants but |
they were not whales, for they never :ame up to breathe, Were
they giant ray fish which | | changed shape when they
turned over on their sides? They took no notice at all if we held the light right down on the
creatures they were. And, like all proper goblins and ghosts,
| they had sunk into the depths
when the dawn began to break. We never got a proper explanation of this nocturnal visit

plunge overboard at the bow, lying in the water but keeping
a good lookout and hanging on |
to a rope end, when I caught sight of a thick brown fish,
| six feet long, which came swimwater which slowly took the |
ming inquisitively toward me through the crystal-clear sea water.
I hopped quickly up on.to thes
edge of the raft and sat in the hot sun looking at the fish as it passed quietly, when I heard a wild war whoop from Knut,

Behind the head was ‘an enormous body ending in a long thin tail with- a pointed tail fin which stood straight up and showed that this sea monster was not any kind of whale. The body looked brownish under: ‘the water but both head and body were thickly covered with small white spots. The monster came quietly,
lazily swimming after us from
astern. It grinned like a bulldog and lashed gently with its tail. The large round dorsal fin projected clear of the water and sometimes the tail fin as well, and when the creature was In the trcugh of the swell, the water flowed about the broad back as though washing around a submerged reef. » o ” IN FRONT of the broad jaws swam a whole crowd of zebrastriped pilot fish in fan forma-

thing that resembled a floating |
deep-water reef. A 25-pound dolphin, attached to six of our largest fishhooks, was hanging behind the raft as
bait for‘sharks, and a swarm | of the pilot fish shot straight off, nosed the dolphin without | touching it, and then hurried |
back to their lord and master, the sea king. # » #
THE MONSTER was a whale
shark, the largest shark and | the largest fish known in the |
world today. It is exceedingly rare, but scattered specimens are observed here and there in the tropical oceans. The whale shark has an average length of 50 feet, and according to zoolo-
