Senator Kenneth McKellar, as a member of the Senate Appropria- tions Committee, which approved the relief fund Saturday, filed the repurt, he being a member of tke commttee’s minority which held yub for $875.000,000, as recommend- ed by President Roosevelt. The Senate is expected to take up the relief bill, already approved in the House, after disposing of the nomination of Harry L. Hop- kins. Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach, of Washington, vigorously defended Hopkins, asserting he is “due an apology from those politicians try- ing to fimcar him.” First II Was a Pond, Then If Was a Town, Now If's Pond Again NEW HOLLAND, N. C,, Jan. 23.— What was once a 50,000-acre “Hol- land in America” now lies at the bottom of North Carolina’s largest lake. Upwards of $17,000,000 was spent 15 years ago in reclaiming the 50,- 000 acres of rich farm land from the bottom of Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde county. A complete settlement —including a 23-room hotel, houses, barns, highways and bridges were established beneath sea level. One of the largest pumping sta- |tions in the world—its capacity & | million and a quarter gallons a min- ute—was built to clear the lake of water and keep it clear. Tt was not equal to the task, though, and slow- ly homes and farms were inundated, Water stood in the hotel lobby.
