Reg. 3 Or BY MANY OF SEA SERPENTS Savants Inclined to Explain Reports of Monsters As Misinterpretations Says Natl. Geographic Bulletin WASHINGTON, D. C The epidemic of reports that strange monsters are cavorting about the seaa within eye shot of witnesses, continues to add variety to the daily news headlines. Following reports from various areas of the sea that gigantic sea anl-: mals of ancient fame are making ttwlr j bow to modern society, natives of the Loch Ness region of Scotland are astir due to .he reported appearance in the lake of an "amphibian monster.", Some witnesses have asserted that they found strange four-toed tracks on the soft shore. StlentlatK Are Vnlmpressed. "Affidavits describing strange elon gated gollaths of the sea have been sworn to be seamen and tourists who have witnesses the movements of 'sea serpents.' or have 'seen their foot prints on beach sands. But scientists are Inclined to explain the reports as misinterpretations." says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic society. "Down through the centuries, gi gantic sea serpents have stirred the imagination of man. Some scientists hold that though there may be huge, ugly monsters somewhat similar to those of legendary fame of which they have no knowledge, there are none known to them existing today that exceed in size the creatures of which they have a record. Eye Witnesses Deceived. "Sharks, basking in the sun on the surface of the sea nave led to weird sea serpent tales. Sometimes swim ming In pairs, one behind the othr, at a distance they lose their real identity and an observer can easily be led to believe that the two fish are really one monster. Sea serpent scares which have been Investigated als; have turned out to be masses of sea weed, schools of cavorting porpoises or tuna fish, groups of playful sea Hons, and even swimming groups -f ducks. "Ribbon or Oar fishes of the Medi terranean, some of which are 30 feet In length, have also stimulated the sea serpent tales. Nemertlnes (sea worms) which measure up to 45 feet, and giant squids 50 feet long, bcth of which are unamlllar to most lay men, have deceived people along the Atlantic coast of North America and the countries bordering the North Sea. "Caddy" Was Seen. "Despite the unwillingness of sci entists to accept the modern version of the fabled sea brpent, It Is a mat ter of record at Prender Island.

GOLD STOCK 7 Most of Metal Coming in from Hoarders Is Indica tionTreasury Watching Developments in France By Wll.l.l AM ItKAI.F (Associated Press Staff Writer.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. V) The United States gold stock continued to grow today, reaemng a new high of 47.030.146.124. This half million Increase over the preceding day's figure also was re flected In a pain of the government's profit on dollar devaluation from $3,805,730,439 to 42.805.956.014. The profit Increase Indicated that most of the new gold received was that coming from hoarded metal, for which the government still pays the old price of 420.67 an ounce. France Watched. Treasury officials were Interested, but would not comment on develop ments tn Paris and what effect they may have on world money condition The prevailing opinion was that. should disturbances create public sentiment in France, the French peo pie might seek to demand gold for hoarding and create a condition sim ilar to that which existed In the United States a year ago. Such a development, if It reached major proportions, would force France off gold. In the opinion of treasury experts, and create new chaos In world money conditions. In People a Hands. As viewed by some treasury offic ials, the situation was In the hands of the French people and not of any foreign government. So far as could be determined, the United States government was not wielding its 92,000.000.000 stabiliza tion fund in foreign exchange mar kets and was holding gold purchases to offerings made in this country. Meanwhile, government expend!' turcs on this fiscal year's emergency recovery costs today passed the two billion dollar mark. This leaves more than $5,000,000,000 to be spent between now and June 30 to equal budget estimates of 67. 523.000,000 for emergency 'expendi ture In the 1034 fiscal year.
